I have encountered a Wesley Richter (confirmed Rheinland Military pilot) today during my short inspection trip to Darmstadt. As I had finished my business, he broadcasted a message via system wide communications and I took the liberty to take a closer look at the situation. Upon inspection I noticed his ship was transmitting LWB IFF codes and the pilot did not exhibit any hostile behaviour towards me. Furthermore, I have been assured by the LWB that he has singlehandedly taken out multiple Military Wraths during a firefight, and the possibilities of a ruse are very low.
I had interviewed the pilot, and it seems he had conducted recon to the heart of the Wild system where he retrieved a strange device. There were a few things that caught my attention however. He described it as quoting "being called to it". His armament was no longer standard issue Rheinland equipment but strange Nomad weaponry, and the device he carried although detectable on sensors does not match any known Nomad device pattern in our database.
He appears to have extensive reconnaissance data about the Wild systems in the Omega quadrant.
I strongly suspect this pilot to be somehow influenced if not outright infested by the Nomad threat.
Orders are as follows: Acquire his full background information from our sources in the Rheinland Military. I want his full file on my desk as soon as possible. Do not yet spread any information of this pilots desertion, it is best our forces be on their guard constantly. Attempt to determine the function and origin of the Nomad device. I have attached schematics of the scan to this document.
This is of course a high priority task. I have my full trust in you.
