Earlier today, a small, unknown group of frigates attacked one of our remote signals intelligence (SIGINT) communications outposts, causing catastrophic damage and killing dozens of our personnel. This station belongs – or should I say belonged - to a small Caldari corporation with a poorly hidden contractual link to our military intelligence services. Fortunately, the survivors managed to escape, via their high-speed emergency shuttle and are expected to arrive at a nearby station within the hour.
As you might expect, we are working hard to determine the identities of the aggressors, but as yet we have no solid leads. Of course, this is not your concern. What is your concern, should you choose to help us, is a report we just received indicating that the surviving team of SIGINT contractors have been targeted for immediate assassination by the same mysterious organization behind the outpost attack. Apparently, someone does not want these individuals to provide us with whatever information they must have obtained during the course of their recent duties.
Within the last few hours, we intercepted a poorly encrypted communication indicating that a covert hit squad is en route to the station aboard an unspecified vessel – or may actually be at the station already! This station's security force, while well armed and highly trained, is insufficient to detect and defeat the kind of lethal operatives that we believe intend to kill our contractors. Therefore, we need you to rescue this team immediately and bring them back to us for an emergency debriefing and to ensure their safety.
After running a check of qualified pilots in our office database, your name was near the top of the list. We estimate there will only be sufficient time for this one rescue attempt before the assassins strike.
