Don't worry, soon we'll figure out how cruise disruptors work. Then the real fun begins.

Anyway. Those are fair questions.

They were my scouts I sent to Noshima to keep an eye out for a ship that's on our mailing list. Before you ask - the ship is not one of yours, or even from Liberty. Last they checked in, they had a lead in Kepler they were going to follow up on. Messing with the Zoners is not our standard operating procedure, so either they ran afoul of a Navy patrol, or they found something else they couldn't handle.

Whatever it is, I want to know. Even if it's just frozen corpses at this point, if they died following my orders, they don't deserve to just be left there.
