TO:Claire Chandler FROM:Tribunus Andra Sullivan LOCATION:Sabah Shipyard, Coronado-system SUBJECT:Something you have to see
Ave Chandler,
Something bizarre has happened and I am unsure how to handle it. I thought if I contacted you personally, I could get your take on this or possibly get you to look at it and give your own teams a chance to analyse it as my team is not equipped for this type of research. That also means this has nothing to do with either Nomadic or AI activity.
I think if I try to explain what happened here I will just sound insane, so it's best if we meet some place where the information cannot be leaked - in space would be best.
For now, I will say this; I found a ship above Barrier Rim that appeared to be completely devoid of life - apart from 3 pilots who were later discovered to be dead, until we saw lights flashing in what appeared to be Morse code for "S.O.S". I towed the ship to Sabah Shipyard and had a talk with the only remaining crew member.
I'm reluctant to send any more info over this channel. Please find an opening on your schedule and lets arrange a meeting. Myself, my second, my husband and the rescued crew member will be the only people present, along with you of course.

Tribunus Andra Sullivan,
I'm a little dissapointed for starters, let me explain why. Well firstly you have just towed a vessel with no living life form onboard but you have no clue what is wrong.. It could be a time bomb, it could be infected, that you do not know and now you are putting all my people in trouble.
I expect you to take it away from Sabah Shipyard, and Planet Yuma, put it back in the Barrier Rim. Next time also inform us before doing things like this.
Now you wish to speak with me in space about this. When this communication can be highly encrypted and unbreakable for anyone, anything that man or women have access too.
So please explain to me what is going on.
As you can tell I am not too pleased with what has happened.
Signed,

Ave Chandler,
Before the ship was taken into the shipyard, I had someone make sure nothing on the ship posed a threat to anyone. No infections were found, no explosives, no weapons apart from those mounted on the ship. Nevertheless I will meet your demands and remove the ship from the shipyard.
Since I can't explain anything myself without sounding irrational and since we can not meet where the rescued person can explain himself, I'll send a log of the event.

[13.09.2016 17:47:17] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: ?: You'd have to be movin', and real fast too...
[13.09.2016 17:47:51] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: ?: He said he was jumpin' from far away, and he got here uh... How long did it take?
[13.09.2016 17:47:56] Salvation: *Wiped sweat of his face.* Time travel's impossible.
[13.09.2016 17:48:25] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: ?: You said you were lightyears away right?
[13.09.2016 17:48:36] Salvation: *Vega nods, silent.*
[13.09.2016 17:48:40] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: ?: And you got here in weeks?
[13.09.2016 17:49:16] Salvation: Vega: I've made bunch of emergency jumps... Aimin' with jump drive is hard when it's partially not workin'.
[13.09.2016 17:51:02] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: ?: You see, when you go real fast, time slows down for you - because it's relative
[13.09.2016 17:51:37] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: ?: But to you it seems normal... So...
[13.09.2016 17:52:11] Salvation: Vega: I know.
[13.09.2016 17:52:18] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: ?: For others, a year passes, while for you a few weeks pass.
[13.09.2016 17:52:18] Salvation: Vega: I know... I just can't belive it.
[13.09.2016 17:55:10] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: Andra: Would you have any problem letting the Order and Crayter military know about this?
[13.09.2016 17:55:20] Salvation: Vega: Order?
[13.09.2016 17:55:34] Salvation: Vega: ...wait you said Crayter? Where are we? Not in Omicrons?
[13.09.2016 17:56:28] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: Andra: We are in Coronado, Crayter republic. You happen to get here at a time when there's Order nearby.
[13.09.2016 17:57:10] Salvation: *Vega spits, rubbing it off with armored boot.* I ain't want anythin' to do with those murderers.
[13.09.2016 17:57:40] Salvation: *It seems meeting other people worked positively on Vega, he calmed down and gathered back his sanity.*
[13.09.2016 17:57:56] Salvation: Vega: Let Crayter now, if you must.
[13.09.2016 17:58:24] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: Andra: I know of no one else who can help, other than the Order...
[13.09.2016 17:59:06] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: Andra: My research is about Nomads and even they haven't been... Time traveling...
[13.09.2016 17:59:55] Salvation: Vega: I can stay near you and brief you on what we've experienced.
[13.09.2016 18:00:21] Salvation: Vega: I can even give you access to the mainframe of Salvation, but if you notify Order...
[13.09.2016 18:00:55] IG|Quinquereme_EXODUS: Andra: Well... Since this has nothing to do with Nomadic activity I suppose I can make exceptions. --ends--
What follows after that is important only to Zoners, and is unrelated. By the way, the man who came in and started talking about his theory is my husband. I can't think of anything on what to do with this. I was hoping you'd have an idea on what to do. Let me know if you want me to do anything else with this vessel.
Encryption:Unbreakable ID:Admiral Claire Chandler Location:Coronado, Sabah Shipyard Subject:Communique
Tribunus Andra Sullivan,
You say you had someone make sure that the ship poses no threat, no infections, explosives or weaponry where there. But yet you just bring a ship to Sabah Shipyard that has met blood shred on the inside out.
The black box recordings show something happening, the images is quiet unclear right now. But right now that ship and the men or women onboard need to be gone away from the vicinity of Planet Yuma and Sabah Shipyard.
With things like this you need to inform us straight away and we might be able to get a medical team out to the ship. Then if it is needed to then be towed back to one of our bases for further treatment and investigation.
From what I can tell, this ship has been frozen for a year and came from the Omicrons. Not only this but the male figure you are speaking with has no clue what or where he is. It could be memory loss, it could be something alot worst.
I am not qualified for this you will need to get in touch with the Order, maybe they have some idea as to what may be going on with the highly advanced technology they have built, designed and accomplished over the years.
If it is important to the Zoners, then get in contact with the Confederation of Freeports. But again you need to get in contact with the Order or even the Zoners. We are unable to do anything here.
Next time please inform us of anything before towing, moving or bringing in any causalities. If I am correct you are commanding offer of a Nephilim Juggernaut also known to be a mobile freeport. You should be able to help them without putting my people at risk.
Please think next time or we might have a disaster or big situation on our hands and I will have to revoke your docking access to Sabah Shipyard.
Signed,
