Seeking the Truth #7: Interdiction
14 May 2021Patrick Bietruch
I'm not alone.. I think I'm in danger. When I got to the system where I was to find the anomalous signal I got interdicted. It was an ASP Scout, no idea who the attacker was. I managed to escape the interdiction with 26% hull left. I am around 15000 light years away from the Bubble and someone is following me.
I need to go back as soon as possible, I need to find out what is happening. Before I turned around I went to the anomalous signal source to get the next entry. Here's what is says:
> Anomalous signal detected
> Bandwidth insufficient
> Adjusting downlink parameters
> Bandwidth secured
> Downlink proceeding
> Loading [Ecnrypted files]...
>>> MATCHING SIGNAL DETECTED: AUCOLF NP-M D8-3.
> Time Stamp Predates Parameters.
> Approximate time frame: April 23 Year 3293
Monarch is gone. He was either intercepted and captured or killed. We assume the worse out of the two, that he was captured. Worse because in that case they already know what we are doing. They made him talk using force.
We've almost got everything we need to build the Sphere. We still need a few tons of Structural Regulators, but we know where we'll get them.
We have to be fast or we'll end up like Max. And it's all because of Aiden's recklessness..

So after their scout's disappearance, the Orion Team assumed he was captured and told the Federation about everything they had been working on. Even they didn't think that he was killed so there is a chance that he is the one I got the scanner from. No time to think about it right now. I must go back to the Bubble as fast as possible. The next signal comes from AUCOLF NP-M D8-3 but I'm gonna have to leave that for later..
