Apologies, Commander, but my previous comments regarding a crowd of explorers, gawkers and profiteers were very much understating the current situation.

The system is actually swarming with ships, and a great many of them have already started fighting amongst themselves over the anomaly.

Speaking of which, Commander, I have scanned the anomaly, and we can no longer call it that. It is a new lifeform, Commander, something unseen in this galaxy before.

Unfortunately, the level of commercial and political attention it has attracted to itself has immediately put the newborn in great danger.

However, those ships out there are not going to make it easy for us. They will assume we wish to profit from the creature ourselves and attack us.

I suggest we warp out of Nerokira and head to Yunii. We may be able to hide out there for long enough to figure out how best to serve the interests of the lifeform.

Be advised, Commander. From all accounts, Hagan is a somewhat eccentric character. I believe she will help us, however. She will be able to tell us what is best for the lifeform.

Commander, we cannot remain here indefinitely. I have scanned the immediate vicinity and I cannot trace the pursuing vessel.

We also need some help with the lifeform. We must ascertain its nature. There is an expert not too far from here, an exobiologist called Hagan in Omega Rura.

I have detected another vessel on our tail. It has pursued us from Nerokira, obviously with a view to taking the lifeform for itself.

Our duty to the creature is clear, however, and we must continue to safeguard the youngling. We must find a place to conceal ourselves.

There are a number of planets within this system that will provide us with temporary concealment, although I feel certain we will eventually have to fight.

According to reports it appears to be a variety of never-before-seen spatial anomaly.

As one might expect, this has drawn the usual crowd of explorers, gawkers and profiteers hoping to make a bar of latinum or two out of what is happening.

However, I believe the anomaly has the potential to impart great scientific knowledge and is worthy of investigation. I would very much like to take a closer look.
