Welcome gentlemen, please take a seat and the briefing will start shortly.
Earlier today our re-con drones from Omicron Lyrae entered Scale Plate Green, under orders to scout for any hostiles in the area. At 0456 hours they intercepted an unknown distress call originating from beyond the south gate approximately 40.6km from the centre of the Xenon sector. Due to servere interference from Xenon sector, communications with our outpost was impossible for the pilots. Upon not being able to communicate with the commanding officer at the time, it was decided to change course and head back to report upon the situation.
During the debriefing of the pilots and examination of there logs it was discovered the source of the distress call was of Kha'ak origin......
