|Dr. Ateshi has provided proof that The Anomaly is active and dangerous. The experimental warp drive successfully opened a wormhole, but it was unstable and the resulting radiation fried the crew's equipment, and their brains. They've been trapped in the darkest parts of space for two decades, slowly succumbing to the sickness - there's nothing human left about them. Now that they're back in our space, the radiation is a risk not just to us but everything for hundreds of kilometers around. | |Dr. Ateshi has provided proof that The Anomaly is active and dangerous.

My superiors have determined that it's not worth the risk of retrieving the warp drive; you need to destroy the ship entirely before the damage spreads. Fortunately, we know where they went: They jumped into the middle of a rogue drone hive. Dr. Ateshi thinks they're trying to feed off the rogue drones' power to recharge. If you can get her to one of the surrounding ships, she can jam their equipment and make them vulnerable. | My superiors have determined that it's not worth the risk of retrieving the warp drive; you need to destroy the ship entirely before the damage spreads.
