Galactic News Stream Report! (Day 5)


Thanks to our vigilant reporting on Starliner Flight 252, we have been contacted by the ISU and offered a chance to interview one of the agents involved in the ongoing investigation. Our guest is Reln agent Apatilus Nephu. We are including highlights from that interview below.

Q: Why has the ISU gone to such efforts to hide the alien encounter from the public, including an effort to misinform news agencies such as ours?

A: You have to understand that some information involves issues of interstellar security, and we did not want the public jumping to the wrong conclusion when we were still investigating the matter.

Q: Yes, but why create a story blaming a pilot for a navigational error around a flare star when the truth seems to be that the ship was attacked by alien spacecraft?

A: Don't be so quick to insist that this was an attack, or that the spacecraft was even alien. We are still reviewing evidence and it is quite possible that a faction of Omul separatists have developed a new EMP weapon.

Q: If that wasn't an attack then, sir, what was it?

A: Keep in mind that passengers were all recording the encounter, and it is more likely that the supposed EMP pulse was intended to disable their devices rather than to disable the entire starliner.

Q: What about the strange discrepancy regarding time loss? Passengers claimed the ship was only down for several hours, but the starliner pulled in to port 4 entire days late. What happened during those 4 days, and why don't any of the passengers seem aware of the time loss?

A: We're still investigating this, but it is likely that the starliner drifted through a temporal anomaly in the region when it was temporarily off course. This would account for the time loss.

We'd like to thank special agent Apatilus Nephu for his time on our show today, and we will update you with any further developments surrounding the mysterious Starliner Flight 252. Please comment and share your questions and theories!
