Survey Vessel Victoria’s Song

This survey vessel stumbled upon something out in the Aries Dark Region DB-X d1-63 somewhere on planet A 7 A – they were about to call it in, when … well, we’re not sure. The Comm’s log went dead. It sounds like the ship was attacked.

On further investigation of the ship, it looks in tact. But there is no one alive on board.

I headed out to look around Aries Dark Region DB-X d1-63 A 7 A …

Some of the crew are not happy we’re working for the Feds, but this deal is too good to pass up.

With all the expansion going on in this region, we need to make sure we’re in at the beginning to secure the contracts we need.

This Survey mission is just that. A simple rock hop, scanning for minerals.

We arrived in orbit around planet A 7 A a day ago, it’s been all hands on deck to make sure all the equipment is ready for launch down to surface.

While the majority of our planet scans just showed the usual mineral data, there is one area on this rock that is giving off some unusual readings.

If there is any profit to be made from this trip, I’ll bet my ship it’s going to be found there.

We’ve stumbled onto something big. I don’t know what it is, or who built it, but we’ ve definitely hit the mother load.

Aries Dark Region DB-X d1-63 is gonna have our names on it.

First things first, I’ve got to make sure all this is by the numbers. I don’t want this going south because we didn’t fill in the correct paperwork.

I’m calling it in.

Security vessel, please respond… Hold your fire! This is a registered survey mission, we have all the correct paperwork… Listen to me! You can’t just arrest us…we haven’t done anything wrong, we have rights.

Repeat we’re an unarmed survey team on a registered mission.

We surrender! Please!
