AFTER ACTION REPORT: NOMAD ACTIVITY IN S15
I recieved a report from U-66 involving an encounter of unusual Nomad variant cruiser class and gunboat class warforms, as well as what claims to be a Nomad aligned human sympathizer.
U-66 responded to a distress call from a RTS trade vessel in S15 which abruptly cut off, indicating a loss of communications. Upon reaching the Freeport in Sigma 15, U-66 encountered the aforementioned unusual Nomad variants near the lane to Sigma 13. The Nomad vessels showed signs of damage, and did not appear immediately hostile. Upon detecting power fluctuations from the Cruiser class vessel, U-66 remote operator Kpt Trager reported experiencing visual hallucinations. Analysts have speculated that these were likely induced by attempts at communication from the Nomad variants - though how he could have experienced these from his control bay on Carrier Saar in Frankfurt without detectable signatures is also to be determined. Military Cruiser [RM]KKS-Wurzburg and MND agent Teufel-2 converged on the Nomad vessels, after which, the Wurzburg took jurisdiction over the interaction and determined the Nomads to be a threat to be engaged.
The Nomad Gunboat class warform was destroyed first,

[29.03.2024 06:08:27] Assisted by: [RM]KKS-Wurzburg (18%), Teufel-2 (8%)
Followed by the Cruiser class warform,

The human sympathizer slipped away in the midst of the fighting.
[29.03.2024 05:59:11] Vagrant.Wing.of.Psyche: [The Nomad cruiser sits at a distance.]
[29.03.2024 05:59:26] Vagrant.Pen.of.Hastur: [The smaller voidform follows suit.]
[29.03.2024 05:59:46] BDM|U-66: Well... It's been some time since we've seen your configuration of Nomad
[29.03.2024 05:59:59] BDM|U-66: I suppose this freighter is one of your thralls?
[29.03.2024 06:00:33] Vagrant.Wing.of.Psyche: [Energy brims at the extremities in anticipation, though the vessel remains still.]
[29.03.2024 06:01:16] BDM|U-66: I'll assume the power spike we've just read is an attempt at communication and not a prelude to an immediate attack
[29.03.2024 06:01:27] Vagrant.Wing.of.Psyche: **{The voice of a young woman, stilted and backed by dozens of others, echoes.}** "Thou art charitable. Overly so."
[29.03.2024 06:01:28] Blade.of.the.Abyss: I am not a thrall. How rude.
[29.03.2024 06:01:45] Vagrant.Pen.of.Hastur: [A sense of vague, unspecified dread fills the minds of the U-Boat's captain and crew, as if they left the kettle on.]
[29.03.2024 06:02:07] BDM|U-66: Evening. Stand down for now, Wurzburg
[29.03.2024 06:02:07] Blade.of.the.Abyss: Is that a Rheinland Cruiser?
[29.03.2024 06:02:18] BDM|U-66: These don't seem to be quite the trigger happy bunch we've come to know
[29.03.2024 06:02:53] BDM|U-66: If not a thrall, then a sympathizer?
[29.03.2024 06:02:54] [RM]KKS-Wurzburg: Winzel: Multiple Nomad contacts detected!
[29.03.2024 06:02:56] Teufel-2: Wurzburg, we're forming up on you.
[29.03.2024 06:03:04] Blade.of.the.Abyss: I am just a person.
[29.03.2024 06:03:15] BDM|U-66: Yes, a person can sympathize
[29.03.2024 06:03:21] BDM|U-66: a thrall is just a slave
[29.03.2024 06:03:26] Blade.of.the.Abyss: A person can also just be a person.
[29.03.2024 06:03:33] Vagrant.Wing.of.Psyche: "Whilst thy companions tarnish thy attempt at song, agents?"
[29.03.2024 06:03:38] Vagrant.Pen.of.Hastur: [Light glimmers around the smaller voidform as it maneuvers around the cruiser, trying to observe it from all angles.]
[29.03.2024 06:03:45] [RM]KKS-Wurzburg: Mindnode geting away?
[29.03.2024 06:03:50] [RM]KKS-Wurzburg: ok it turned
[29.03.2024 06:04:09] Teufel-2: On your call Sir.
[29.03.2024 06:04:15] BDM|U-66: Well... it would seem the military would have jurisdiction in this matter
[29.03.2024 06:04:32] Vagrant.Pen.of.Hastur: [As the cruiser maneuvers away, the nomad breaks off to join the larger form.]
[29.03.2024 06:04:45] [RM]KKS-Wurzburg: Winzel: These Nomad lifeforms are a threat to Rheinland
[29.03.2024 06:04:53] Teufel-2: Affirmative, readying cannon against the Niemannite ships.
[29.03.2024 06:04:55] Vagrant.Wing.of.Psyche: "So typical. So boring."
[29.03.2024 06:05:08] BDM|U-66: I would have prefered to communicate
[29.03.2024 06:05:10] [RM]KKS-Wurzburg: Winzel: Lets eradicate them swiftly
[29.03.2024 06:05:23] [RM]KKS-Wurzburg: Winzel: Battlestations! Mann all turrets and prepare for combat!
[29.03.2024 06:05:25] BDM|U-66: Very well
[29.03.2024 06:05:25] [RM]KKS-Wurzburg: Winzel: Lock on targets and Fire when in range!
[29.03.2024 06:06:02] Blade.of.the.Abyss: Alright. Assisting allied vessels. Weapons ready.
[29.03.2024 06:06:14] Blade.of.the.Abyss: Opening fire, target locked!
[29.03.2024 06:08:27] Vagrant.Pen.of.Hastur died to BDM|U-66 (74%)
