Bridge of Babylon 5,.. Urgent transmission from Scout force in Hyperspace.
Sheridan, after a quick review of the data.. "Patch it through to all nations right away and include the video!"

Somewhere deep in hyperspace (or not so deep) the [glow=red,2,300](EDITED OUT)[/glow] picks up a tiny object about the size of a pseudofighter moving at high speed in a fairly random path... Suddenly a sensor "ping" is heard throughout the [glow=red,2,300](EDITED OUT)[/glow] ... the small object quickly closes to a mere range of 4... the Crew looks out the viewports and barely can make the object out as it is red and blends in very well with the rest of hyperspace... Starting from the back and working it's way forward the crew gets a chill up their spine as the object does a scanning pass over the entire length of the ship... The captain frantically tries to hail the object but there is no responce... Then as quickly as it closed... the object zips away and is quickly lost in the torrential storms that exist in hyperspace... The crew exchanges looks frantically in disbelief as to what happened.... what exactly did just happen?...
The rest EDITED OUT
It would appear there is something lurking in the depths of Hyperspace, I am sure other nations will encouter the same shortly.

Question to the Refs:
Would we not know if this small psuedo vessel was Shadow technology,.. they tend to have a distinctive look,... and smell!
So is it probable,... we could at least rule them out ?

it did not have a typical shadow "skin" as it was red ,but the speed, manuverability in hyperspace, and the raw intensity of the sensors is far beyond anything currently known among anyone's military.

Sheridan relaxes in his stateroom and suddenly is jolted to alert status. On his desk is an information packet not there earlier in the day. The Council Seal is on the packet who sent it is unknown,... worst of all how it got in his stateroom is a concern !!
Sheridan opens the packet,...

It is hereby announced that the ISN network will become the official outlet for the EA news breaking stories. Although this network has at times be biased We understand that the News folks cannot know the larger picture. In fact none of us can. This is why it is important to incorperate the most respected news agency in space to disimilate important developements as they come out. Future transimissions regarding this story will be sent exclusively to the ISN network for further disimination and interpretation. Sheridan Out!

With the new contacts on the Rim,.. appearing end of turn 1
The contacts in Hyperspace with the EA ships,...
One does have to wonder.
Sheridan and Ho Chi,.. still sipping wiskey,.. chat about the wars inflaming the galaxy,...
Sheridan,... "The winds of a storm are picking up,..."
Ho Chi, checks the local themostat wondering what the hell Sheridan is talking about,.. "Say What Sir?"
Sheridan,... "Great Storms announce themselves with a simple gentle breeze Ho Chi,... do you not feel it? They are coming,.. out there in the darkness"
They both look out the window,.. each knowing something is coming, the question is what.
Sheridan,.. "Those nations that deplete their resources with war will be least prepared to fight what is approaching. Those leaders will not be remembered well by their peoples. They fight over 10 EP when in the end they lose 300+ EP in wars and economic ruin"
Ho Chi,.. "Well the ISC did not lose anything Sir,... "
They both chuckle and toast to that!

The toasting continued late into the evening. The final conversation centered dead on the Lyran Empire, more specifically what has been EA coded "The Lyran Pounce". Sheridan, "Still no sightings of the Lyrans?" Ho Chi, "No Sir, they have not gone after the Centauri, nor the Federation." Sheridan, "Well then, how long till they reach EA space? Being the most warlike of the races they are surely targeting someone. It not likely that they have embarked upon scientific exploration. They live and die for the thrill of battle, See the poll on why we play SFC:OPCS " Ho Chi, "Yes agreed,.. We have calculated that we should see the Lyran fleets entering EA sensor range near the end of the galactic cycle 2, our fleets are ready and waiting" They settled into another round of toasts hope for the best, expecting the worst.

This accusation is outrageous! The Lyran Empire demands an apology. Currently we are conducting scientific exploration only. We are not engaged in war with any nation.....after he backs away from the mic ...in the back ground you hear Supreme commander FSD Warp10 say in a muffled voice " Hohhoch we do have a science lab or two on this ship don't we?"...............

Well we have learned more about our mysterious Alien friends in Hyperspace. We have again contacted the small alien vessel and this time have also intercepted communications from or to, that ship.
They are also looking for the Ancient Weapon lost in Hyperspace.
