Panther attack by 7 Sa Sao?

The DDS now think the attack on the HCS transport and SS Ocelot was by the 7 Sa Sao. Mysterious EM transmissions from 7SS space were calculated to be aimed at the ship which attacked the Panther destroyer. Early sigint of the transmissions, and the datalinks from the implants in the Type A's crew, indicates the transmissions are 7SS though unlike the type encountered before.

It is now being thought that another 7SS faction is behind the attacks not the Argon faction whom the DDS have dealt with before. Intelligence from an Eritran source has indicated each of the 7 factions had a technological distinctiveness and also an independent political philosophy. Windy has ordered his ship SS Carboniferous be prepared for a "long trip" by Thursday. He may be planning a reconnaissance of 7SS space (Windy is currently on Starbot).
