Debrief
Responding to two identical distress signals originating from the E16 Nebula, the crew discovered a mystery that quickly escalated beyond a routine rescue operation. Initial investigation led to the recovery of personnel records relating to Commander Nathan Marlow, directing the crew to UFN Bastion Station for further information.
En route to Bastion, the ship was intercepted by Axis forces attempting to disrupt the investigation. After successfully repelling the attack, the crew obtained archived mission reports and visitor logs from Bastion. These records revealed a strong connection between Commander Marlow and Senior Logistics Officer Sarah Vance, now stationed at UFN Horizon Outpost.
Upon arrival at Horizon, the crew found the station under Axis assault. Working alongside station defenders, they successfully drove off the attackers and secured access to Vance's testimony and personal correspondence.
By carefully piecing together official records, witness statements, and personal messages, the crew exposed the Axis deception and correctly identified the genuine UFN vessel, preventing a potentially devastating intelligence breach.
The crew successfully exposed the Axis infiltrator and preserved the UFN Faithful, preventing a critical intelligence breach.
