<< Bounced signal >>
[Signal Strength low. Boosting gain]
This is Lieutenant Santario Bonzo. I was on routine patrol in the Omicron 85 system when I encountered what seemed to be a modified Osiris battleship. It seemed similar to the Recon Cruiser, but with heavier armor, armament, and.. Well, it cloaked. Those folks at the Order have gotten cloaking tech working again. Before I could report, it opened fire on my ship with what seemed to be a kinetic blast. The result is that I am now several hundred thousand kilometers from the nearest station. I am running on emergency power; my on board power and rations will only last a week. Concequently, it will take approximately a week for a recovery ship to arrive. So I send out a general SOS to any 101st recovery craft in the area. I hope this signal made it. I had to aim it at a metallic asteroid to get it to bounce toward allied space. I'm draining too much power already. This message terminates.

(( I'm gone for a week and figured I might as well get a personal plot line going. ))
