The Council sent a priority message informing you that you were the closest Specter to a distress beacon from a Citadel science team investigating a signal on a previously uncharted world. You dropped your current assignment, and arrived to find not just the scientists, but a stand-off between terrorists, pirates, mercenaries and rogue C-Sec agents. To make matters worse, the signal that brought them all here may not be a welcome, but a warning.
