Part II: Ascension to consciousness

New captain of EL-HiL27 Rhino-class freighter 'Ironside' was an inexperienced pilot trying to find his fortune in Pennsylvania system. After friend'€™s recommendation he decided to visit Ralston Ice Field inside Hallam Nebula in order to acquire some helium for sale. Unfortunately he was completely unprepared for what had happened to him. First, after he entered the nebula, he felt strange headache. Then, he started to have chaotic thoughts of him being not him and being in his but not his body. Suddenly he had a terrifying feeling that someone is watching him. This alarmed him and he decided to turn off mining turrets in order to check the radar readings. He peered through the visor of his cockpit and became transfixed by a fear.

Captain of 'Ironside' panicked. He could not know that he was a first sentient being encountered by a young Nomad in front of him. He could not know that this Nomad was dazzled by the fact of not being alone in the whole Universe. He could not know that this encounter was forming Nomad self-consciousness. He could not know that this Nomad had no hostile intentions and pain was caused unintentionally only by lack of experience. That is why captain of 'Ironside' driven by fear hit the emergency button and entered cruise in order to escape. In matter of seconds distress call was received by a captain of CT-49X Gull-class transport 'Free' who decided to engage the hostile.

Disoriented Nomad did not understand the reason for aggression. He felt insecurity and instinct overcame his curiosity. Scared Nomad fled. However, he learned that these creatures of hidden sentience are thinking differently. That he must cautiously study them in order to understand. And maybe then they won'€™t be hostile to him, and then he will not be alone any more. He really wanted this to happen.
