I-259-Oliver: Spanial, Control (N-Space to Nonoop Nav Buoy)
A little time passes, and the Control crew plus Oliver are back in Control approaching the Nav buoy.
It’s BR07 on 211.491 when Ipan announces, “got something on scan… looks like a ship.”
He taps his workstation, “Profile matches…”
More tapping, “… Separatist military-
“Incoming transmission, radio band, common frequency.”
Karmen says, “put it on speaker.”
“Unidentified ship this is Independent Electorate Militia Vessel Stoutly Exploring, request you identify yourself and state your intentions.”
Ipan looks to Karmen for instructions.
Would Oliver like to do or say anything?
He’ll just ask “is this routine, or aggressive?”
