Topic: Keepers encounters
Hola hombres,
I would like to report two encounters with Nomads in the past couple of days.
The nomads I refer to are Keepers, which entered the Gamma system today and two days ago.
As opposed to the other Nomad I encountered on my endeavors before, these Nomads communicated, or at least tried to.
The first pair were looking for an energy source as it seems, something to nourish them and sustain them.
Unfortunately, while I was trying to communicate with them, another corsair ship arrived and opened fire.
They soon engaged us and I was drawn into a fight, in which we chased the Nomads out of our system and back to Iota.
The second encounter was today, as I launched from Crete, I noticed a keeper on scanner.
As the last Keepers I encountered were somewhat talkative and weren't showing signs of hostility till fired upon, I tried talking to this Nomad.
After long and hard attempts, I got through to the Nomad and we started talking.
He was apparently following a thief which stole some great and powerful property of the Nomads.
I tried figuring out what was the thief's name, but it seems the Nomads do not know names, just brain patterns, so he couldn't tell me the identity of the thief.
Suddenly, he was called back and our connection broke.
I would suggest that when we see Keepers in our systems, we will try talking first, rather than shooting, as they seem less aggressive than the other Nomads.
