First of all I'd like to commend the Crews of the LNX_ThunderBay, LNS_Sacramento, LNS_Themis and all other ships and pilots who took part in defending liberty from the Nomad attack today. Everyone involved fought bravely and with the resolve only seen in Navy pilots.
Our patrol begun with a nomad invasion, however without knowing the exact location of the vessels we remained stationed in Z21. As we awaited word of the enemy vessels, a transport entered from Alaska full of passengers. It was determined that the ship was infested and the nomads in the system were a clever distraction to let that infested ship reach manhattan. Luckily we were on station and the transport was quickly destroyed. We recovered 60 of the infested passengers and have transfered them to Juneau for analysis.
During this encounter Navy Pilot Seth Karlo began acting strangely, complaining of a headache and massive pain. He began mumbling something and attacked the ThunderBay. With his knowledge of our systems he managed to cause massive damage before our shields could be raised, luckily other navy vessels responded and his fighter was destroyed. His pod was recovered and he was taken to med deck where Dr. Valdores concluded there was no physical reasons for his sudden insanity. He's been sedated and is to be transfered to Juneau medical wing as soon as possible. Dr. Valdores suspects the nomads may have indeed manipulated his mind in some fashion.
Shortly afterwards, more nomads arrived and began their assault on newyork. The ThunderBay and numerous other vessels responded and the threat was eliminated. We have several order pilots to thank in aiding us in this situation, so I'd suggest against naming all Order pilots as terrorists. Indeed it may only be a few rogue ships that are causing trouble.
The ThunderBay has entered Norfolk shipyard for repairs and will be back on active duty within a few days.

Iâll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because itâs flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
