Independent Miners Guild Comm System (GuildComm)

[JonahC]

Encryption: Maximum-IMG|R&D and GMs only

Greetings!

Our techs here in the R&D have just finished installing the new comm system in my ship. I would have been in contact sooner, but the comm. system was down while they were installing the new one. If this communication looks odd id is only because I am learning how to use the new system.

Several days ago, my assistant Dr. Vale was contacted by a Zoner who hunts Nomads in the Omicrons. He heard in the FP11 bar that we were doing Nomad research and wanted to sell us some remains. These were not the common remains we have been finding rather frequently, but apparently these are a more advanced form of nomad, sometimes called superior nomads. Apparently these nomads act as a sort of controller for many lesser nomads, a hub if you will. I was able to purchase a few specimens for our research. This zoner also had some interesting theories as to nomad communication. He proposes that the nomads in fact understand our communications, but do not possess the anatomy to communicate understandably in return. As well he theorizes that if you could use an infested human as a receiver you would then be able to understand their communication. He had several captive infested humans, known as "Wilde" in his hold. I plan to stay in communication with him to see if his theories prove viable.

I have yet to find a nomad weapon in good enough condition to study, but I will continue to search. If we could apply the energy efficiency to our mining lasers, Dr.Vale theorizes that it would seriously impact Deuterium mining and production on planet Pecos. I am redoubling my efforts to find a working model.

As to mapping the Omicron systems, we continue to chip away at them. Our recent cooperation with the Order is helping this, yet the Order has hinted that there are systems that we do not have access to, specifically, Omicron Minor. We have yet to find a way to access this system, but it is likely we will come across it in the near future. I will keep you posted on this aspect of our mission as well.

It seems our mission is bearing some rather interesting fruitage. We will continue to pursue our goals as relentlessly as possible.
