Rescue of the Liner Pluto
Good evening.
A number of Order agents and Zoners recently responded to a distress call in Omicron Zeta, the vessel in distress being the passenger liner Pluto. Once we formed up with the Phoenix ships, we made our way to the location of the Pluto and the cause of the distress. The Pluto had suffered damage and was surrounded by a swarm of Nomad forms and some Wild ships as well. While the combined force of Order and Phoenix ships fought off the enemy, a Phoenix repair ship assisted the crews of the Pluto in some pretty impressive repair work under the most stressful conditions. Not long before the hostile forces were neutralised, the Pluto was made operational enough to make it's way to Kadesh.
While escorting the Pluto, I was given an active Nomad Power Cell, apparently the now deceased Commander of the Pluto had found it in Omicron Kappa. There's no way to know for certain, but I imagine that such a piece of technology may have antagonised the Nomads into trying to retrieve the item, but from my experience, the Nomads have never needed much reason to try and kill humans. Anyway.. After taking possession of the power cell, I made my way straight to Damascus to to hand it over to the science teams.
