While using the Splinter to patrol Omicron Minor, I encountered an unusual situation. I found two Order vessels in close proximity young nomad. I quickly queried as to why they weren't eliminating the threat. They answered they were "talking with it." I found this unacceptable and prompted them to show me how they would end the nomad threat without firing upon the pile of filth before us. A gunboat of Wilde design eventually arrived. This appeared to wake the agent from his stupor and he quickly made a move to exterminate the threat.
We opened fire upon the gunboat with little success. I requested the assistance of a "Void-Stalker", but the ship's weapons failed to have an effect. This was most worrying. Without the firepower of a Hathor, we did not stand a chance. The "//AVENSON\\" was shot down shortly after the Hathor failed to fire.
We decided to flee as we could not hope to win in this situation. I noticed the "Void-Stalker" was falling behind and taking hits. I turned back to draw fire from the nomads in an attempt to save the situation. My intervention was successful as I managed to draw the nomads away and then promptly escaped to the Isis once all other Order forces were clear.
Upon my return I ensured that the "Void-Stalker" crew would double check their weapons before heading out on an operation.
Our agents need to realise that a lone nomad will call for reinforcements. This is why we must destroy the threat wherever it is found unless we want another fiasco like today's.
