[RESTRICTED ACCESS] Disturbance on Aefao

The Sphere deployed on Aefao to investigate a disturbance - a small outpost, an information relay centre had gone dark. The cause for concern came from the fact that highly-encrypted communications were intercepted in the area shortly before the blackout. 

Our force was split into two - myself, posing as the late Lord Ivekus, and Sith Suyni veiled as an Apprentice. The two of us moved in on land after landing a shuttle some ways away, heading directly for one of the outpost entrances. We came upon a nervous gathering of Aefans posing as imperial sentries. While I probed them for information, they were betrayed by their emotions and thoughts: anxious, fretful and panicking that we were interrupting a plan. Our presence was not a variable they had considered. While they scattered and scrambled to fetch their 'commanding officer', I broadcasted my findings to Sith Suyni telepathically, and her character of an 'Apprentice' was dismissed to the side to contact a fictional imperial persona -- feeding back what we saw and coordinating it with our other half of the group: Sith Tiwura and his Disciples of Fear. They infiltrated covertly separately from us, sneaking in through the back of the installation and observing, trailing and scouting the outpost while panic set it. Another Aefan was brought to me, seemingly a leader of this group, posing as a Captain of the local PDF. In the meantime, the Pillar of Fear had seized the central building and intercepted an encoded broadcast before it could be sent out: cutting it short and retrieving the datachit, while dispatching the insurgent group. The imperial-loyalists Aefans that had survived were bound and taken hostage, they have since been liberated.
Coordinating with this push into the communications hub, myself and Sith Suyni spurred into action, neutralizing the Captain and subduing him for later interrogation, while slaying the rest.

Our identity as members of the Horuset Powerbase has not been revealed, and we have retrieved two captives from the insurgents for processing, as well as an encrypted chit.
