OOC: Oh that's got to suck. Being told to ready a fleet, and told that death awaits. BUT! It doesn't say who death waits for.
IC: Finally, the Gates are near complete, or finished, and the beginnings of a powerup sequence begin, connecting finished gates to eachother in the virtual system. (not space system, but computer grid, etc.) With the new turrets online, it appeared as a sea of black dots surrounding the gate in a random mess. Beam turrets, laser turrets, and new comms and radar nodes surrounded the gate. They could now travel and communicate with ease to other systems. With the task near done, the public aware, the military now searched. They searched for an old encounter. They weren't on the friendliest terms with the other races they had met. But, a drone was customized, and sent to each system, searching, scanning the systems for a familiar frequency. They had yet to find it.
OOC: I have a drone in a lot of your systems now, guys.

I sense there will be some hostility towards mysterious drones popping in at a subspace node, and not contacting the races that own it.

I've sent... scouts!

Small, so they tend to go undetected if alone (for the most part) but once they start searching, its like they're screaming "OVER HERE!!! PICK ME!!!" for hours on end.

Now, if ships come near them, they are programmed to turn around, and flee back into subspace. Well, unless they find the frequency they are looking for, at which point they will transmit a beacon signal back to Shakuras
