We've lost one of our remote probes that had been surveying the Omegas. The last transmission it was able to send on its own placed it in Omega-11 near the Baxter anomaly, but it suffered some kind of malfunction due to outside interference and tampering from what I can tell. The probe managed to activate its data scrub, but the process was interrupted by subsequent damage. My attempts to remote in and trigger it's self destruct mechanisms did not prove to be entirely successful either. Data drills prior to its destruction by either weapons fire or asteroid impact did not yield scans of whoever tampered with the device, likely due to failure to its data encoders. I will need to get with Anders and have him create a more aggressive data scrub program before we deploy another drone.
But losing only one of our three deployed probes so far is not the worst outcome. Still, I can't help but be marginally concerned that it may draw unwanted attention to our operations.
