TRANSMISSION RECIPIENT: Order Overwatch HC SUBJECT:Patrol Report FROM:Ensign Jason Vigo LOCATION:Dabadoru Station, Omicron Delta PRIORITY LEVEL:LOW ENCRYPTION LEVEL: LOW
Greetings, Overwatch High Command.
This is Ensign Jason Vigo, submitting my first patrol report. I had the privilege of flying alongside Lieutenants Bishop and Christensen for my patrol, which started in Omicron Mu. Here, we found nothing of note. However, things got slightly more interesting after we moved into Omicron Minor. As we entered sector F4, we picked up a Nomad signature on our scanners. We moved in closer to the readings, which brought us near the Omicron Iota Jump gate. Here, a Nomad fighter was waiting for us.
The Nomad did not attempt telepathic communication, it simply opened fire on my ship. I responded accordingly, destroying the vessel after a short duel. Lieutenants Christensen and Bishop had previously given me permission to be the first to engage the next hostile we encountered, and were standing by during the battle.
The Nomad suddenly attacking me without any attempt of communication was not typical of my previous Nomad encounters. Whether other Nomad vessels will also adopt this behavioral pattern remains to be seen. My guess is that it was a rare and isolated incident, but of course with these aliens we must expect the unexpected.
After destroying the Nomad ship I headed to Dabadoru Station to ressuply, and concluded my patrol with no further noteworthy encounters.
