Next to the Omicron Psi jump hole, a couple of Zoners were conversing with a Corsair, and were rudely interrupted by a Nomad cruiser who really didn't want them there. They barely escaped with their lives.
"Nightmare To Remember" approaches with an active cloak.
[07.08.2025 22:38:00] [Research]-Nostradamus: Appreciate you, Corsair.

[07.08.2025 22:43:01] [Research]-Nostradamus: KR: On it...
At this point, "Nightmare To Remember" starts firing its shieldbusting weapons on the research vessel.
[07.08.2025 22:43:02] NickC: Captain, he just circuling around us on distance about a 1,5 k.
[07.08.2025 22:43:17] [Research]-Nostradamus: Brax: We're taking hits! Returning fire!

Nightmare to Remember continues to play with the ship. Meanwhile, the miner reaches one of Phoenix's bases, although their mission is not yet finished.
[19.08.2025 17:15:11] Preparing to cloak...
[19.08.2025 17:15:25] (\^/)Skapto: D: safety reached
[19.08.2025 17:15:26] Cloaking device on
A Phoenix Cruiser, the "Apollos Fist's", shows up, just as the Nomad engages its cloak.
[19.08.2025 17:15:29] (\^/)Apollos.Fist's: CO: That is one heck of a Sight.
[19.08.2025 17:15:34] Nightmare.to.Remember: [The veil obscures the Nomad once more.]

The miner heads to the field once again, with the cloaked Nomad in tow, seemingly mocking them.
[19.08.2025 17:17:35] Nightmare.to.Remember: *** ... [Droning of the abyss.] ... ***
[19.08.2025 17:18:08] (\^/)Skapto: D: They are more and more daring nowadays

[19.08.2025 17:20:16] (\^/)Skapto: D: Initiating mining system
The Apollos Fist's starts to look for Nightmare to Remember. As if it's playing hide and seek, the alien mocks the humans on their attempts at decloaking the ship.
[19.08.2025 17:21:02] Nightmare.to.Remember: *** ... "Close" ... "Close" ... [Chuckle] ... ***

Eventually one of the ship bumps into the Nomad's cloak, revealing it.

A Wild Bomber interfaces with Nightmare to Remember, bolstering its forces.
[19.08.2025 17:29:24] (\^/)Apollos.Fist's: CO: I feel Cold....
Another Phoenix ship eventually joined, and they start using circle formations to try to unveil the Nomad like before.

More Nomad ships are on their way.

More Nomad ships are starting to arrive.
[19.08.2025 17:36:39] Nightmare.to.Remember: [A voice, a laughter, and the blinding light.]

The Vedrfolnir gets decloaked.

The situation is becoming untenable. The Nomads start to open fire.

The Kaapvaal arrives.
[19.08.2025 17:39:50] {K~WS-Kaapvaal: RO: I can sense that these Zoners put themselves in serious troubles, once again. Is Kaapvaal assistance required?
[19.08.2025 17:41:27] {K~WS-Kaapvaal: RO: You are foolish to think you stand a chance, Zoners. Or maybe one should find another name for you now.

The U-96 arrives.
[19.08.2025 17:42:21] Wilde.U-96: U-96 here, we have a reliable visual on a group of dissidents.
[19.08.2025 17:42:23] Wilde.U-96: Safeties off.

The log ends here. This incident is still being investigated.
Nightmare to Remember finds the Tsuyoi Ikari, accompanied by several other Blood Dragon capital ships, engaged in a battle with KNF forces in Tohoku. It's amused by this exchange between both human factions, but doesn't engage.
[22.09.2025 21:36:34] Nightmare.to.Remember: ***... (Amusement) ... -darklings- ... "light up" ... ~amongst~ ... "each husk" ... ***

[22.09.2025 21:36:56] [TSK]BD-Tsuyoi.Ikari: Uh, you here that?
[22.09.2025 21:37:22] [TSK]BD-Tsuyoi.Ikari: I am Hirioki Serizawa! True Son of Kusari and Hand of the Headmaster!
[22.09.2025 21:37:28] [TSK]BD-Tsuyoi.Ikari: reveal youself!
[22.09.2025 21:37:38] Nightmare.to.Remember: [As fast as it appeared, it was soon gone. It seems like the Nomad was merely playing with you.]
Later that day, in Omicron Mu, the Nomad finds an Order ship being pursued by several Bounty Hunters. Since the ships were much smaller, it decided to approach and "sample" some of the Bounty Hunters for itself. The Order pilot wasn't amused.
The Order pilot approaches the Nomad, being tailed by several other ships.
[22.09.2025 21:45:41] Nightmare.to.Remember: [The Nomad doesn't seem to be comfortable having this many flies around it.]
[22.09.2025 21:46:05] Jamila.Eskander: hunters shoot the nomads!
[22.09.2025 21:46:12] Jamila.Eskander: jaysuz

[22.09.2025 21:47:41] Jamila.Eskander: pathetic human these hunters are!
At this point, most of the bounty hunters were dead, and the Order pilot was in full retreat.
I'm hoping that, with K'Hara's help, I can foster a dangerous (but fair) roleplaying environment to galvanise the player base to be more active and wary of the Nomad territories (i.e. all of Sirius) more effectively than as an indie.
Also I already fly often with you guys so why not.
What interests you about Nomad Roleplay? How would you rate your current Nomad Roleplay skills?
Playing the villain suits me best, and the Nomads are the ultimate villain in Freelancer. I greatly enjoy messing with players and scaring them in my indies; I'm not here to /1 /2 and then insta snubs with mortars. I'd rate my Nomad RP skills as average, although I think I have trouble getting my point across with nomspeak.
Are you happy to be ganked by factions like The Core, The Order and basically everyone else?
Of course. I understand that the K'Hara| tag is basically a spotlight.
Do you have future plans for your nomad ship?
Particularly I'd like it to become a known terror in the Omicron Kappa-Delta-Zeta belt.
