XS-XAY - Travelers with a keen eye may have noticed an increased security presence in and around the 98Q superpocket in Syndicate by I-RED security vessels. The Yanala Shipyard present at the Reppola Logistic Support looks noticeably devoid of the myriad of security vessels which are normally neatly moored - ready to launch at a moment's notice.

Security personnel have increased across I-RED customs offices and Operation Grey Steel structures, as well.

When asked for comment on the nature of these observations, I-RED Executor Alex Hinkelmann only had this to say, "I-RED is conducting a series of security maneuvers and tests. There is no reason to be alarmed."

The duration of these "tests" has exceeded a week now.
