ENCRYPTION: Hardshell-32

Captain Marshall,

We have observed an anomaly at the fringe of our sensor coverage in grid sector H-4.
A sharp and unexplained spike in electromagnetic background radiation was recorded, followed by an immediate and total absence of signal.

This event was detected via long-range passive sweeps and confirmed against baseline EM background telemetry.
No accompanying mass signatures or gravitational distortions have been recorded, yet the phenomenon remains unresolved and inconsistent with known cosmic activity in the region.

EMF Scan

As per standard protocol and out of precaution for the security of the Fretensis and surrounding elements, I intend to dispatch a reconnaissance wing to investigate.
Requesting approval to launch INS-Justicar with 1–2 Very Heavy Fighters in escort for short-range survey and data retrieval.

If higher priority operations are in motion, we will proceed with a minimal footprint and maintain regular transmission intervals.

Awaiting your authorization or further instruction.

— Cmdr. Ilyana Routh
