Commander's Log 281/4: I received the the following message from HQ Rho at 13.49 Zulu:

Commander Elonen, as of recently, Nomad activity has been on a noticeable increase. The Omicrons are witnessing a gradually build up of hostile xenoform assets. Small Nomad expenditionary forces have even been sighted in House Space. These signs do not bode well for the future of our species.

We need to find out what the Squidlings are up to and we need to aquire more of their technology for our own research and development teams.

Double your efforts and find something we can work with - weapons, shield components, extraordinary artifacts, power cells - anything to get Guild technology up to speed. The Order needs a concrete reminder of why Nomad technology should be harnessed.

A small reconnaisance vessel has already returned from Wilde Space with data on a potential target. Proceed to the derelict vessel Westerwald immediately. Coordinates will be transmitted shortly.

Oh, and Commander, any technology aquired will not be tampered with by you or any of your crew. We mean it.

End of transmission.
