Right, what I like is the concept of strange mysterious technology. What I love is when people start crapping themselves about it and blame some kind of "higher being" for screwing up their equipment. One big mistake they made was using the open channels to direct their communication traffic to other sources to cry "wolf" about some kind of ghost ship sighting.

I personally hate filtering through regular data traffic to find out what the Unioners have sent, but for them to blatantly send out one that has their markings all over it does spell out "Help me, something big is happening." What seems to have happened is something along the lines of their Communication Intelligence and Signal intelligence seems to be some form of Obvious jamming. Normally they'd send out a system wide broadcast and it wouldn't be picked up. But it seems that the jammers were only targeting a specific area and ships from receiving signals, so it seems to be a more precise attack compared to a area-wide jamming. What may of been compromised is their actual ship systems, this doesn't seem like an automated system because if they were able to retrieve a message through their data packets, it seems that someone was blocking their own receivers. Messages come out screaming "Ghost ship" but unfortunately they can't hear their home base; This is what probably attacked their Satellite navigation systems.

As you described, their encryption and security systems are legacy. So if it comes to them not knowing the more advanced systems that we have at our disposal, we might be in luck in setting up a honey-pot to track their methods. I still doubt its a ghost ship Major, I don't believe in superstition. There is always a scientific explanation to everything.

We have something in the works that might be able to investigate, but it is no way near ready. I'd send out a team but like you said, the reason people are calling out "Ghost" is because they have no clue about whats hitting them. Our current equipment is still using military standard, we need time to prepare for such a risk. If there's any more activity, please keep in contact.
