Message received to investigate loss of communication with mining survey mission. Hypersleep aborted. Current mission suspended for duration of investigation.

Cannot establish communication with survey ship. Ship found landed on planet. Saratoga also lands to investigate.

No sign of life. Working Joe androids damaged, beyond repair. Investigation of living pods reveals a frightening chain of events that left most of the survey team dead or missing.

Initial investigation reveals 2 dead in pods in violent ways. According to calculations of Science Officer Macintyre the force required to do observed damage is beyond human or android powers. Suspect some sort of machine.

Survey team member tries to kill Salvatore team by sniping. Team member killed as self defense. Signs of possible mental illness.
