Harris here. A thorough patrol of the Coronado system was on the schedule for today. All in all it was a quiet patrol - freelancers, traders. With one exception. A Nomad as everyone seems to call them. My memory is playing tricks again, I have just a few flashes of encounters with these beings. Anyway, the thing was just standing outside Barrier Gate! It made sure we understood it meant no harm to us and our kind, which I highly doubted, but it was not aggressive indeed. I was with Warrant Officer Schwarz at that time. We both decided it would be for the best to get the alien away from the station. We cruised away, and it followed us.. After some following around, we lost it in the nebulae. Took a really long route back to Pecos, just to make sure we weren't being followed. We were not. A very strange encounter, but what matters is that we got back home in one piece. Warrant Officer Harris, signing out.
