Good work. These impostors shall die by my hand.
For yourself, however, I have another mission for you. It is potentially high-risk, so additional precautions shall be taken, considering the foe. Tests will have to be taken before commencing - I don't want to risk your mind and sanity on this one.
Essentially, the basic mission is intelligence-gathering in the Krivak. However, you do not want to know the target...
This morning, during a training session with Lieutenant Kerensky, my long-range scanners picked up strange signatures from the Nomads in Gamma's radioactive asteroid field. Further scans by my specialists on Crete, with aid from contacts in Omicron Delta have led to discoveries of increased Nomad activity, possibly related to the attacks of a new sub-species of the aliens upon Freeport 11.
This does not bode well for humanity, so I have selected our most capable intelligence officer, that's you, to find out what the hell is going on.
When available, report to Classified Location X-Ray to begin screens and mental conditioning to aid in Nomad-related missions. I shall contact Black Squadron for potential assistance.
Right, in case it isn't obvious, I'm updating operating procedures to make them very clear.
We aim to bring the Coalition to supremacy in Sirius, bringing the Alliance down around us. However, some things out there are worse than any Alliance filth. Namely; the Nomads.
We've all tagged our share of their alien vessels and they keep to their own space, as expected. So, we're not hunting them so long as they stay back. If they are spotted in range, though, they are priority targets. Aid any human against them, even if they are bloody Alliance scum. I'm sure you understand my reasoning here, so I won't explain.
