Salutations.

You may perhaps have heard of me, or perhaps you have not. In the event that you have not, brief introductions are due. I am Revenant, one of the prime entities within the Technocracy's Direcorate, I oversee scientific interests within the xenology branch.

Our purpose overall within the Technocracy is to observe, study, protect and learn valuable sites of scientific interests, and I believe you may have had an encounter with one of our sites of interest within Kepler.

I would like to speak to you regarding this incident you had at your earliest convenience.

Are you perhaps available tomorrow?
