ENTITY RESEARCH
The attached report reflects all the characteristics of the alien Nomad object "Entity". The report lists all files and known encounters, behavior, and potential long-term threats. The scientific data is based on witness statements and recordings obtained from "Blackjack" ship (piloted by Lieutenant Alex Russel) blackbox on August 12, 835 A.S.
DESCRIPTION
Entity (referred to by some individuals or groups as “The Harbinger”) - A creature of Nomad origin, representing an energy signature of impressive width, capable of transporting unidentified Nomad ships and other vessels (or their copies) into the known space of the Sirius sector. The Entity also possesses the standard Nomad means of communication - telepathy - which limits its communication with Gammu AI and forces it to use human intermediaries[1]. The Entity has two states, each of which can be determined visually. First state allows one to recognize in the Entity the outlines and known signs characteristic of Nomad vessels[2], [3], [4]. The second state usually (and most often) opens when the Entity begins active movement and resembles the movement of a huge cloud of unknown origin[5].
Unlike other Nomad ships, the Entity does not use any weapons, but prefers to transport unidentified ships into its space of presence either for communication or to engage in direct combat with those it deems dangerous. The ships can be either of Sirian origin[6], [7] or typical Nomad vessels[8]. It is still unclear why the Entity creates copies of ships known to us, but the most likely is an attempt to establish communication (see [Report about Entity, by Aspirant Victor Bruno]).
CHARACTERISTICS AND ABILITIES
Signature: Entity ship is not a physical object, and therefore the use of standard types of weapons is ineffective. However, with sufficient density of fire, the cloud dissipates, which negatively affects the Entity. This allows us to judge the physical origin of the cloud, which is the basis of the Entity.
Speed: The ship has high speed indicators, which can be compared to the parameters of well-known racing engines. Due to the technological development of the Nomads, the speed of the Entity can be much higher. Note: all small Nomad ships (Light Fighters, Heavy Fighters, Very Heavy Fighters and Bombers) that appear in space by Entity have such speed[9]. The use of standard cruise disrupters also has no effect[10].
Weapons: The Entity does not carry standard Nomad weapons or anything resembling it. Instead of this Entity sending human and Nomad ships of unknown origin straight to the Sirius sector.
Communication: Standard Nomad telepathic abilities and related ones.
Known abilities of the Entity:
Using the Nomad cloaking device.
Transfer of ships to the Sirius sector. The transferred ships can be either of Sirian origin or Nomad vessels. In theory, the transfer is carried out using hyper-technology (see [Report about Entity, by Senior Scientist Koji Yasu]). Nomad ships created by the Entity use beam weapons[11], which are effective mainly at short range. This type of weapon is used on ships smaller than a gunboat[12], all others use standard weapons[13]. The Entity is also capable of returning ships back[14].
The ability to create copies of ships of known models, including those of non-human origin (Gammu AI).
The Entity's energy signature suggests that the size and number of ships being transferred is affecting the Entity and preventing it from being constantly active. It is likely that the transfer of ships is draining energy, and this is directly related to the Entity's distance from the supposed "source" from which it draws ships.
ZONES OF ACTIVITY AND REGISTERED MEETINGS
Reports of the Entity have been circulating in the Order since before the events of today, which suggests that this creature has been in the Sirius sector for a long time. The potential damage this creature could cause to humanity is unclear and most likely non-existent: not a single major clash between the Order and the Nomads or known factions with the Nomads has been accompanied by the presence of the Entity.
The Entity generally visits random locations in the Sirius sector, which does not lead to any global consequences. The encounters are random and rarely go beyond a couple of sectors of one system. In rare cases, the Entity purposefully moves between systems, pursuing someone it considers either dangerous or an object for its study. The frequency of the Entity's appearance has increased since the events of the Blackout[15], which may be directly related to the Erhart system and its nature[16].
Cases of encounters with the Entity that the 34th Brigade has information about to date:
Earhart and Sigma-19 encounter with Gammu AI and Phoenix Zoners.[17]
Omicron Delta and Omicron Pi encounter with Gammu AI and Phoenix Zoners.[16]
Vespucci encounter with Lieutenant Andrea D'Arce and Technocracy.[18]
Omicron Delta encounter with Lieutenant Alex Russel, Commander Kunrad Amhrad, Phoenix Zoners and Eclipse Vanguard.[19]
FURTHER INVESTIGATION
Using all the information above and the data that was obtained during the last meeting with the Entity in Omicron Delta, I have every reason to believe that this will not be the last meeting. Despite the reports of the destruction of such an object - it would be reckless to assume that it would be destroyed by such simple methods as a standard weapon. However, this is only my assumption as a scientist, and hasty conclusions should not be made.
The entity also mentioned the features of the Earhart system and ways to bypass the protective platforms located in the center of the system. It is believed that the platforms have a system for identifying emerging threats and react to them with a certain pattern, the so-called "feature", which all humans and Gammu AI have. What specific feature is being discussed - we have yet to find out. However, if we can deceive the platforms' defense mechanism, we will be able to get to the center of the system and study the unknown structure in more detail.
As stated earlier, the Entity is not invincible. The use of standard weapons shows that the cloud can dissipate, allowing us to better study its physical properties and draw our own conclusions.[20], [21]

Victor Bruno Wrote:- The Entity's behavior with other, non-human beings directly signals to us that something natural prevents the Entity, like any other Nomad, from establishing contact with the Gamma AI. It is not a matter of the difference in ship designs or human and AI technologies, but that humans are humans, and AI are robots.
There are still many documented cases in the Order of how the infected use the human mind not only to subjugate the incubus carrier, but also to subjugate others. The expedition was a clear example of this, when we saw how one carrier of mental infection instantly infects everyone else. No one broke our equipment except us. And no one killed the ship pilots except themselves.
That's why the Entity is looking for a way to communicate with the Gamma AI. That's why it creates copies of their ships. Deaf or blind people have always perceived the world radically differently than we do. Even the absence of one limb already separates a person from ordinary society.
Now imagine that you are unable to simply talk to someone you see in front of you, you cannot establish contact or any kind of communication. You see them, but you cannot send them a message. It's like standing in front of an interlocutor who does not understand your motives. What will you do? You will try to give signs. You will wave your hand or make some kind of gesture.
In the case of the Entity and the copies of these very ships, the logic is approximately the same. The Entity gives signs to communicate with the Gammu AI, and the need for an intermediary in the person of a person only confirms the very fact of the impossibility of the Entity to conduct any communication other than telepathic.
Koji Yasu Wrote:- The peculiarity of transferring ships over far distances, up to entire units of Nomad combat forms, tells us that the Entity has hyper-travel technology at the level of creating local wormholes right on the spot.
The Essence cloud itself, as was correctly noted during my conversation with Jinna, is more like a region within which ships can be transferred between systems. The video we received from Alex tells us that the Entity is capable of not only transferring a ship, but also returning it back. This means that there is a place from which it takes these ships. Since the system itself is not open, we are left to guess where exactly these ships, with their weapons, come from. This is clearly not the typical Omicron for all of us, since, in that case, these ships would have long ago filled the entire Omicron region.
The cloud itself could be energy that reacts negatively to external stimuli, such as any kind of weapon. This is what causes the dispersion. It could be an antimatter cloud, by the way, which would be logical, but in that case, the scale of destruction from the collision of matter and antimatter would be too serious for us to be able to record anything at all. And the Entity itself would hardly survive to meet us: the slightest contact of such a cloud with any other object would lead to a powerful detonation.
So, the theory is this: the cloud is a collection of particles, with a huge amount of compressed energy, which transmits impulses between themselves, and the Entity is the center of this cloud. Something like a silicon life form, which corresponds to the nature of the Nomads. Except that there is no solid shell: the Entity can both "collect" and "spray" itself. The transmitted impulses would allow us to explain the intelligence of this creature and everything that we consider intelligent in it.
Simply put, imagine an infinite number of micro-crystals transmitting electrical impulses between each other. This is the Entity. If we need to counteract the Entity, then we are talking about finding a weapon that can both hold it in place and damage the connection between the crystals, preventing the transmission of impulses between them. The construction of such a weapon will not take much time and effort if we can study the Entity in detail. So far, all our meetings have ended with us not being able to learn anything.
Another thing is that we now know more details about the Earhart system, and it seems that I already know what particular feature of Humans and Gammu AI we are talking about. I will entrust this part of the research to Jinna, since fate is now calling me to Jericho.
