Comm ID: Ensign Ace Walker Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Patrol Report
Greetings High Command
Ensign Ace Walker Reporting in.
16th August, 824 A.S.
Today my patrol started from Westpoint Military Academy, New York. I was alone on my patrol and headed to Planet Manhattan. Everything was quiet until a trader came along. Upon scanning his ship I came upon a surprise. M/V_Rusich-7, A Universal Shipping pilot, using a Civilian Heavy Tanker or as we know it the "Titanic" was full of sorted Artifacts. 3214 Sorted Artifacts was found in his cargo hold.
He claimed that the Company Universal Shipping ordered him to transport it to Planet Manhattan. I was very surprised to hear that and informed it that it is Contraband and that it is illegal in Liberty. He was not very Co Operative and in the end I had to take his ship down. The escape life pod was captured by me and I gave him over to the authorities on Planet Manhattan with the Evidence of his crime.
I suspect this was not his first trip to smuggle contraband, at least now he does not have a ship to continue with the smuggling expeditions and the authorities will keep him busy for some while. I do ask from the High Command that we can put in a full investigation in the Pilot's of Universal Shipping and in the Company itself just to be sure that they did not decide to operate with contraband or if there is maybe a crime syndicate with in Universal Shipping, and of course there is also the possibility that the Universal Shipping ID was stolen from the company with out their knowledge and the criminal used it as a disguise. I will wait for the interrogation report from the authorities on Planet Manhattan and will send you a copy to help with the investigation. Let us rather use precautions now and make sure as to leave it until later.
After the indecent with the smuggler I received a transmission from 5th|Nicole.Bradley about strange blue ship's spotted near Planet Manhattan. Luckily I was still in the area and about 20 Kilometers away from Planet Manhattan on the Trade Lane to West Point Military Academy the ship's was identified. 5th|Nicole.Bradley and joined by her Domino.Harvy, A well known bounty Hunter assisting the 5th Fleet regularly was the first on the scene. I have joined them momentarily afterwards.
We came upon 3 Nomad Ships in the middle of Liberty Space. They have tried to communicate with us but the understanding of their language was not to clear. All I could have made out is Their home is Light and they want to go back to their home. They are lost and afraid. 2 of the 3 Nomad ships disappeared in to thin air right after their communication attempt. The last Nomad ship Communicated with me telepathically all of a sudden in my head and showed me their home. For some reason my Ship Recording System Picked up the Image and I am able to show to you their so called home. I think this can benefit our Research Team to better understand the many things we do not know about these species and help us to better train and defend against them. The last Nomad then also disappeared in to thin air and we could not find a trace of any one of them. I immediately stopped my patrol and headed back to Planet Manhattan and went to the Medical Center for a checkup. I am happy to report that I am fine and still 100% capable of fulfilling my duties in the 5th Fleet. As I can tell my fellow pilots with me at the scene was also sane and fine.
We should start to look into the Nomad's as they are getting closer and closer each time to our system and more frequently. I would like to use this opportunity to ask the High Command to allow us to open a Division specially to Defend and Research against the Nomad's and their Technology as it will benefit us all and the safety of Liberty as I suspect they are much closer to us as we think.
