"Tessa to... random ship. Come in, random ship?
Hi! Welcome to the neighborhood. 2nd Class Junior Cartographer Tessa Bannister reporting in. I'm the eyes behind all the ICC Scan Probes in the area. What these little guys see, I see! Which yes, means I can totally see you... right now.
Anyway, there was actually a reason to why I commed. I'm sorta not allowed to leave my post. Important Jump Point scanning and all. So, I was hoping you might be able to help me with something. If you have a second, could you check out these coordinates? Scans are saying something's there, but can't ID it."

New Objective: Unidentified Signal
Quantum Drive to 2904-UEE649.
Fly straight ahead towards the largest asteroid in the cluster.
New Objective: Identify Signal
The signal turns out to be coming from a shipwreck being scouted by Nine Tails Outlaws. Two outlaw ships spawn per player. The mission can be completed by using the flashing red distress beacon found within the wreckage. It is possible to fly past the outlaws to trigger the beacon without having to engage them in combat.
"Hey Jenny, think you could head on back and whip us a cup of something hot? I'm about to pass out... Got a contact. Multiples? Let's see what their regs say. Not coming up. Forget the drink, I need you on shields now!"

"Tessa here. Appreciate you looking into that scan for me. Between me and you, I had been hoping we might discover a new life form, like a sentient rock or something. But, what you found was pretty neat too."
