- Were he not a member of Haplorhine Ops, I would have expected their science officer to be called Sprat, and to be piloting the Jellyfish. He’s ready to beam over now. Energizing.

- You are correct. The majority of the founding, non-marine lifeforms of the Cetacean Federation came from Earth. Haplorhine Ops merely persisted as the department’s common name.

- However, those of us that crew the department, whether children of Earth or otherwise, tend to qualify as “dry-nosed” primates. Similarly, the Cetacean Federation is not comprised solely of Earth cetaceans.

- But to the matter at hand. Here are my scans of the attacker’s warp signature and escape vector. As you can also see, their ship bears similarities to multiple powers – including the Federation itself.

- The vessel did appear to shed much of its mass, but I believe it was jetsam, deliberately released to shield themselves. They used the distraction to escape to warp.
