The Hunt Intensifies!

So just a few days after I sent out my warnings to the cowards who killed my crew, my leads have come up with something. A contact of mine has told me that there have been similar attacks around Boston Base in the Barnard's Star system as well as around the Inara system. I was informed that Citi Gateway was visited by quite a few individuals possessing cybernetic augmentations. They apparently visited Citi Gateway's medical wards to purchase enhancements. I decided to set a course to Citi Gateway and see for myself.I was joined on my journey to Inara by a good friend of mine, MsValkyrie. Together we were going to track these murders down. After landing, we made our way to the medical ward. Valkyrie had a friend there who allowed us access to station records which are normally sealed to anyone but staff and system authorities. She pointed to one in which 3 female augs accompanied a teenage girl without augs. They bought reflective shielding augments and one requested an upgrade to a cybernetic interface spine. Valkyrie and I were confused as to what those were. The informant said that reflective shielding was a type of stealth augment rendering the user "invisible" to the naked eye while the cybernetic interface spine was used primarily for remote hacking. When paired with a cybernetic optical implant, it would allow the user enhanced visual capabilities. These included EM vision as well as data recovery. Other than that, no other individuals stood out as possible criminals capable of doing what they did.
We decided to head down to dock security. My informant was less helpful with dock records. These criminals were smart. They used civilian transports to and from the station. They never registered a ship with the dock records. After hearing the doctors information, it became clear how they could avoid the station scanning. A simple hack can either wipe their criminal status if they had one or disable the scanners when in range. These girls were extremely good, but not good enough to collect the black boxes from their attack. They wiped the record of the transports docking log, but the dock chief remembered the ship as he was friends with it's captain. I managed to identify the vessel. It is currently docked at Kidman Orbital in HIP 21165. This is the next step in finding our shadowy foes!!
