Weeks and weeks of careful stalking have finally led to something. Success laid nearby... while at the same time being so far away.
A lonely Irri ship has ended its FTL jump a couple of light minutes away from the slave-trader fleet. This ship's gravimetric sensors have thoroughly scanned the system, while unique state-of-the-art astrocartographer Protocol core was precisely calculating the smallest deviations in the movement of planets and asteroids. If you have a piece of properly sensitive equipment and as much experience in stellar gravimetric arts as Irri do, even an object as small as an apple has enough impact on the movements of celestial bodies to calculate its approximate position. It screams about its anomalous presence, it begs to be found.
For an intelligence that was deliberately engineered to be prudent and analytic, ships of that system were clear as the day, no matter what cloaking tech they were using.
Long and tiresome hunt has finally come to its culmination. After the first ship, two smaller ones had jumped into the system with their protective shields raised and weapon systems ready to use.

On behalf of the Blessed Nation and with authority given by the Vaiaelon War Pact, this is Khaz'Uii of House Khavir. I salute you, allies of Justice, and am glad to see the friends of my overlord in that turbulent time.
I have been tracking this criminal group for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to act. My house has information that there is an Irri noble knight held hostage by these scoundrels, and I expect that you will assist me in an attempt to rescue her. This person is of utmost importance to me and my House.
