The seeker seemed to have gone unnoticed so far, yet his search was without results, there was a hangar door below the ship, fromw hich the fighters also had come from, but it was currently closed, in the meanwhile the pirate ships had reached the freighter, once aboard they quickly found out it was automated, most of them left the ship again and their fighters undocked, yet stayed in range of the freighter, a few moments later something, rather interesting happened, the fighters started moving around the freighter and small arms with construction equipment extending from their bottoms, taking chunks of the ship off, likely unknown to the seeker, inside the ship the same thing was happening, the pirates which had entered the freighter started cutting out key systems and other valuable parts of the ships electronics and software while one of them was looking through the ships logs, to see where it was actually headed...

"Sorry but we´d like to avoid too much attention around these sectors so please keep your gate where it is, okay? We don´t know anything about their headquarters, if they even have any and even if we wanted we can´t give out navigation data from traders, what we can do is give you a few rough locations where statisical density of attacks is the highest as well as some coordinates of past attacks where we´re currently still investigating, we also have some images of some of the pirate ships, but that´s about it, they have proven to be quite the issue and are qay more coordinated than just some average raider group.

Though these were different ships than last time, a large group of mid-sized ships in a brown-ish red was sitting there in space accompanied by several larger ships, they apparently had already assumed a battle formation and were headed towards they convoy, somewhere behind them was what looked like a derelict frighter floating in space...
A rather large interdiction field encompassed the entire area, after initially ripping them out of hyperspace it seemed to have expanded bya several times it´s original size, so even if they would call for help it would likely take a while until reinforcements arrived...

...the raids on civilian vessels continued, a few days later the anomalies in the storm disappeared, likely unknown to the Fleryg, similar anomalies appeared in another Fleryg Imperatirs bordersector, a considerable distance away from the first appearance...
