Covert salvage operation (4)

[We have contact.]

"Yeah I heard, how bad?"

On the way back to the frigate Phillipa was contracted by Mu over a private channel.

[About 350 minor contacts and 20 large ones, but due to the fighters out on patrol we spotted the earliest signs of a jump point forming so we'll most likely be able to eliminate half right when they're entering this system.]

"... While that's not great it could be worse. Any luck in locating our primary objective?"

As the earliest signs of an approaching fleet had been spotted in time, most of them could be outright destroyed right as they left their jump points, the true issue was the ones that survived as they would pose a fair fight.

[We've run a drive signature scan which revealed nothing so far, In a few moments we're running a final scan to look for any gravitational wave distortions that hopefully will reveal any emergency jumps out of this system.]
