⧫ ENCRYPTION: Order-EC[L] Patrol Report
Reporting back from my extensive patrol of the Omega systems. After several weeks of scouting I have managed to chart the entirety of the known Omega systems. Forces that were encountered mostly did not deviate from expectations; Corsairs, Coalition, Red Hessian, Zoner, Bounty Hunters and IMG were present as expected. Omega 49 had the odd Molly here and there. More interesting however, were the several encounters with unknown vessels sporting nomad weaponry. Considering Bezelgeuse and I were the only operatives in the area I decided to avoid the larger wings, picking off only a few at a time.
This brings me to the most important finding of my patrol though: During one such encounter I found a nearby vessel, damaged beyond repair, containing a derelict Nomad artifact. I immediately beamed it up and set course back to Mu to prevent the artifact from contaminating the people in Sirius. My ship is currently isolated on the Thebes and under tight guard, with high commands permission I would like to move the artifact to the research station as soon as possible so our boys in the lab can take a look at it. I won't lie, being rid of that thing is something I very much look forward to.
