I'll not be commenting on politics such as Outcast presence nor other responces forwarded, instead I'll address the crux of the subject which I'm quite familiar with. By looking at the footage and analyzing scan data provided I'm quite confident this field around the zoner vessel indeed matches energy signatures that of nomad barrier fields used across nomads' stationary structures. Not to cast a premature shadow of doubt on a fellow colleague, but I find Dr. Holliday response... unconvincing.
Getting to the point. There is either a portable version of a nomad barrier field generator onboard this vessel or a derivative device based on such. Regardless of the case I would advise proceeding with caution when dealing with this. Nomad devices are known to affect host vessels when integrated, an effect not too different from that of an incubi, such is the parasitic nature of nomads and the lurking dangers of their technology.
My recommendation is to pursue Dr. Holliday to hand this device to the Order before anything worse will happen. My team and I can personally handle research procedures with utmost care. Hopefully my esteemed colleague will come to senses and will remember he is, after all, a human being and it is our collective duty to fight against the nomads menace. More importantly this would be an excellent opportunity to study this exceptionally rare type of nomad device and perhaps finally develop counter method to break through their barrier fields which are neigh impossible to penetrate. Dare I say we might then have a chance to strike nomads right at their strongholds. Not to mention an abandoned facility found in Bretonia long time ago might serve a perfect candidate to find out if our solutions would be successful.*
Gentlemen, I hope my reasoning was sufficient enough. Each time we sit by and argue they grow stronger. This isn't the time to argue about who draws what borders in emptiness of space.
