In Yc 128 in the system of Yoma near the Contested Caldari - Gallente War Zone, a scout in command of a Heron Class Caldari frigate from the 5th Division of the Caldari Dragonaurs is nearing the end of their patrol sector and discovers a signal coming from a distress signal.
Following the distress beacon, the scout had found a long abandoned Caldari station. The signal coming from deep inside the scout flew around the structure checking the external bulkhead for any possible damage.
Seeing minor damage, he reports to his division command:" Scout 132554403, my coms systems have received a distress signal and have followed it to an old abandoned station. No sign of life from outside."
Division command replied:" Received scout 132554403, gain access to the emergency external docking port and check internal sensors and report back."

The scout then directed his ship’s Capsuleer to dock at the Emergency docking port whilst he retrieved his personal MK8 side arm and standard exploration suit and EVA Helmet.
After the Capsuleer docked the ship at the outer Emergency docking port, the scout then entered the station with caution and his side arm drawn, following the signal on his arm device down long dark corridors to a huge fortified door that seemed to be rustying from age and still had large scorch marks and denting.
As the scout examines the door, his capsuleer sends a short message:" A red beam is hitting the hull. The defenses are gone," Before he hears a harrowing sound of an explosion and bright light of fire coming from the direction of the emergency port, before a brief suction of air and their stations emergency lock down protocol kicks in and shuts all bulkhead doors leading to the port.
