Pierce, is it? ... Huh, that gives me a weird sense of deja vu.

I do apologize for my lack of initial contact. I'm sure someone in your position can understand how swiftly this line of work can drag one to all corners of the Sector. I also wish to thank you and your associates for staying true to your word, and keeping out of the operation that took place against the local Militants, and further aggravated the native Sirian residents.

Were I to hazard a guess based upon the data you've provided, you've encountered what's known as the 'Lostshare'. A hive that seems to operate with an unusual sociological standing towards both their own kind and mankind as a whole. Though do not be fooled by their 'songs'. They're naught but a siren's call to lure in the unsuspecting.

I would not trust their kind to have good motivations behind a passive encounter - rather it is likely a defensive mechanism. They have, however, displayed docile tendencies and seem to lack the usual defensive means the Omicron share possess. This change in behavior is likely due to an adaptation their collective deemed necessary in order to extend their survival. They often ignore most people who don't wind up in the heart of their nest, as it were.

Granted, my expertise when it comes to the Nomads is more blunt than my associates. What limited study data we have been able to obtain was not my doing, and if I'm being honest there is very little reason for me to entrust you with such valuable information. Even if you've proven your goodwill thus far, there are certain problems when it comes to security clearances.

Understanding your enemy thoroughly has always been crucial to truly being able to destroy them, after all. While I don't condone The Order's methods, I have always held sympathy for outlier cells trapped in a war they didn't ask for.

I cannot provide you the information you seek, as it is not my department to do so. You would need to seek out Gestalt, or Revenant.

I at least hope my perspective summary provides insight into what you might be looking to uncover.
