[17.10.2021 20:17:05] Vigil-3|S8: H: As I was saying. The Nightfall had an unfortunate encounter in Kepler earlier today.
[17.10.2021 20:17:14] Ridge: What happened?
[17.10.2021 20:17:22] Vigil-3|S8: H: I believe we came across the Nomad form designated as Entity.
[17.10.2021 20:17:32] Ridge: ...ouch. Alright.
[17.10.2021 20:17:53] Vigil-3|S8: H: It was a brief encounter. The form disappeared immediately after appearing on our sensors.
[17.10.2021 20:18:06] Vigil-3|S8: H: It left behind, however, two lesser warforms - near the Prophet anomaly.
[17.10.2021 20:18:40] Vigil-3|S8: H: They appeared to be of the Nammu-type, but, as we sadly only realized once in combat, were far more dangerous than members-
[17.10.2021 20:18:47] Vigil-3|S8: H: of their type usually are.
[17.10.2021 20:19:19] Vigil-3|S8: H: Their defensive and offensive armaments were far more advanced than anything we have witnessed before.
[17.10.2021 20:19:21] Ridge: ...I remember them. I once had three of them chase me all the way from Kepler to Hudson. The next day I've had uh.
[17.10.2021 20:19:34] Ridge: Two "Siris"-type warforms bashing at my door.
[17.10.2021 20:20:02] Vigil-3|S8: H: I see. So, you have had encounters with these 'advanced' warforms yourself.
[17.10.2021 20:20:06] Vigil-3|S8: H: What can you tell me about them?
[17.10.2021 20:20:11] Ridge: Plenty. More than I'd like to admit.
[17.10.2021 20:20:34] Ridge: They're so called "Sentinels". Stay away from them. Unless you are heavily armed.
[17.10.2021 20:21:06] Vigil-3|S8: H: Where do they come from? What is their purpose? How many are there?
[17.10.2021 20:21:39] Ridge: Where do they come from? I don't know. Their purpose is uh-- well to keep people away, I suppose. As the name implies.
[17.10.2021 20:21:46] Ridge: How many? Way too many.
[17.10.2021 20:21:53] Vigil-3|S8: H: Away from where?
[17.10.2021 20:22:02] Ridge: The place I'm trying to get to.
[17.10.2021 20:22:10] Vigil-3|S8: H: Which is...?
[17.10.2021 20:22:50] Ridge: ...I can't quite explain it, since I don't know myself. I've been there only once and things got...wild. Way out of control.
[17.10.2021 20:23:27] Vigil-3|S8: H: Is it a known system? Do you have any nav data?
[17.10.2021 20:23:34] Ridge: Even a predator form of the Mainshare uh. It got frightened. But that's about it.
[17.10.2021 20:23:52] Ridge: Known system...yeah, no.
[17.10.2021 20:24:29] Ridge: There's no known system in the whole Sirius to bring three explorers and a Nomad to their knees like that.
[17.10.2021 20:25:11] Ridge: Why do you think I keep telling you. Some things you just can't kill off with guns or anything you think will work.

[17.10.2021 20:45:48] Vigil-3|S8: H: Which, if not all, of the Kepler anomalies are of interest to these Nomads?
[17.10.2021 20:46:08] Ridge: I don't know the answer to that. I only know of one that is.
[17.10.2021 20:46:18] Vigil-3|S8: H: Which one?
[17.10.2021 20:46:34] Ridge: Three eyes staring back at you say something?
[17.10.2021 20:46:54] Vigil-3|S8: H: The Prophet anomaly. That was my guess, as that is where we encountered the Sentinels.
[17.10.2021 20:47:10] Ridge: The only advice I can give you is to stay away from it.
[17.10.2021 20:47:26] Ridge: So long as it isn't disturbed, Nomads won't pass through.
