[b]Planet N-1[/b]
(Classified as the outermost, "N" planet, in the first colonized solar system, "1"))

As the planet was infected, the three closest cities, out of the five total, all had alarms going off and panic ensuing. Due to distance, there was not a chance of anyone being infected, yet, even with windstreams and the like, and evacuations were in order. Due to their wary nature, every building was more bunker than skyscraper, and the evacuation facility had both underground tunnels and a domed airlock that could hold an entire ship inside. The passengers would be disinfected, loaded aboard the transport in the dome, which was also disinfected. Once airlocks on the transport is sealed, the dome opens, they take off, the dome closes as another transport comes back, sprayed with disinfectant, and more passengers are disinfected, checked, and boarded.

Besides that, only two cargo ships were in orbit, witnessing the deployment. Wary, one approached, broadcasting live to the other ship, which was in turn broadcasting back to the inner planets. As it approached, another ship appeared: the Explorer that had only recently departed. Apparently they had turned around; the ships can be remotely controlled. 

A cargo ship and an Explorer ship closed on the derelicts, both beginning to send frantic messages in a variety of known languages- everything from binary to religious gibberish, especially as the Explorers' crew woke up and returned to their duties, much to their surprise and frustration.
