SolFed has issued a standing order: If you detect the Scavenger SV-4, do not attempt to scan it. Do not attempt to communicate. Do not think about where it might be going next.

It knows when you do.
The last visual feed from the SV-7 shows the derelict SV-4 opening its central cargo bay. Inside, there were no spare parts. No harvested alloys. Only a single, perfectly smooth sphere of what appeared to be bone, etched with the name of every pilot whose neural tissue had ever been used to culture a WNI. The Scavenger SV-4 is now classified as a Level-5 Cognitohazard . Its last known trajectory suggests it is heading back toward the inner system, but not following orbital mechanics — it is following thought patterns . Deep-space listening arrays occasionally detect its signature: a pattern of radar reflections that, when translated into audio, forms the rhythm of a human heartbeat.

On its final logged mission (Run #1,205), the SV-4 was dispatched to investigate an unidentified mass shadow at the edge of trans-Neptunian space. The object was dubbed . The Cinder-7 Incident Telemetry logs from the SolFed relay station Nyx show the SV-4 intercepting Cinder-7, which appeared as a non-reflective, geometrically impossible shard approximately 200 meters in length. Standard spectrography failed; the object absorbed all forms of radiation. At T+02:34:11, the SV-4’s grasper claws engaged
