Log Entries from "Elysium's Shield"

Entry From: Zylar Vespertine
Vessel: Eventide
Location at time of Log Entry: Freeport 11, Omicron Delta
Subject: First Blood

We have had our share of combat against Nomads but nothing like what we experienced tonight.

Our evening started shortly after Kasumi's ended. They docked at Freeport 9 in Theta right when we picked up the task of monitoring Delta and taking care of Nomads as we found them. We'd been in Kappa overnight while the technicians at the Shipyard had reviewed the damages to the Nephilim. We'd been shooed away so we had begun a route of Omicron Delta when we ran into some Order ships in system. We monitored the Jump Hole to Zeta for sometime before moving to Location Classified. Once there, we socialized with some Order representatives before our contacts pinged with a massive Nomad vessel. To be honest, we never thought that they could become that large.

We quickly spun up our Cruise engines and aided the Order in taking it down. However, shortly after we downed that one, an even larger vessel appeared. We took heavy fire but were able to take it down. The Eventide was critically damaged after the engagement. As we were maneuvering to dock, the Nomad sent us a secure message direct to our communications officer. We weren't sure how or why they sent one to us directly, but the message was vague. It might seem like they wanted to meet us somewhere privately. Something about stormlands and being a guest. We simply responded with that we would destroy them next we met. There was nothing said in return to us after we responded. A few more alien vessels appeared but were dispatched in quick order alongside the Order vessels.

We lost a few crew to the attacks. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. Their bravery in the face of certain death against beings that far outstripped our own will forever be honored and remembered by all those who serve aboard any vessel that is apart of the Elysium's Shield.

We patrolled a bit, ensuring that no more Nomad vessels were present before we heard a report that Core vessels were entering the system. I apologized to the Order ships in the vicinity and cloaked the Eventide before shortly departing the system. We are not to attack Human vessels unless they are attacking us or are infected. We will not contribute to the division that the Nomads take so much glee in.

We've returned to Omicron Delta and have moored at Freeport 11 for the night. The Eventide took significant damage and requires a day or so in drydock to repair those damages. Hopefully with any luck we will be back out in a couple of days to continue our tasks in Omicron Delta or whatever the Order might have for us in terms of missions. Until then, we will stand by and do what we can to aid in the alien threat.

My true concern is the fact that the Nomad vessel only known as "Entity" contacted us directly. Clearly, the Nomads are noticing our consistent attempts at routing them from the Omicron Delta system and Sirius at large. If a vessel such as that has noticed us, then we are certainly in for a rough time. We will persevere though and we won't back down from a fight, no matter the odds stacked against us. We will win.

Zylar out.
