The distortions were picked up barely near the well drives edge, by the patrolling small UG scouting ships zipping around the system making sure reinforcements don't come
They had slowed down and waited, the 3 scouts were basically slowly flying around the area where the distortions were located, to attempt communication
The 3 scout ships fully stopped from their quick speeds now and just waited
x3
The 3 scouts used a strange and very outdated rift jumping tech that was slower, and less efficient than the new rift tech we have now, so it was employed for scouting duties, as the ring around it is detachable in case it needs a distraction, but the 2 pieces can also be flown separately around it, like moving riot shields, and if need be the pieces can be used to help them escape too
