`` I've been informed we have a live feed. We're now going to Lauren Sanders, currently stationed on the NASA survey rig *Helios*,'' Tricia Lim was just glad to have gotten a real story. Sure, her station had a significantly smaller presence on the outer planets, but still. It was much better than reporting on celebrity gossip and or drivel the government censors served regarding the `` terrorist movements in the Rings.'' She waited for her producer to give her the feed cut cue before swiveling her chair to align to camera 3. 
 
 `` We are about 16 million miles from the confirmed location of the Exxon Valdez, which was first reported missing three days ago. While ExxonMobil's Mars subsidiary CEO remains unreachable for comment, our first reports suggests that an undetected micro-meteor shower that was caused by the wake of an ice freighter damaged the thrust vector panels control systems resulting in an uncontrolled lateral spin. We have since then confirmed that the Exxon Valdez collided with a waypoint buoy on its trajectory to dock at Empress station. Hold on. I've just been informed that we have visual. Please note that there's a broadcast delay,'' Lauren said. 
 
 The telescopic camera struggled to focus its light arrays against the reflection of Saturn. After struggling with the saturation levels, the *Helios* camera technician managed to get good picture. The Exxon Valdez was continuing a slight lateral spin, 10 degrees up at the nose at most. It's emergency maneuvering thrusters must have fired to stall its flight path before it sent off a distress beacon. Even from the limited view angle of the telescopic camera, debris damage was visible all across the starboard side. Stress damage had dented in the nose of the cargo ship. A large gash where the Exxon Valdez had collided with the waypoint buoy had been mostly sealed. 
 
 `` I have here that ExxonMobil has refused to release the cargo manifests and has gone so far as to strike them from the flight plans logged by Empress Station. From your camera view, do you have any idea of what Exxon Valdez was carrying?'' Tricia glanced down at her notes, softening her smile as she waited for Lauren's signal to catch up to the Earth broadcast. 
 
 `` We are n't entirely sure. *Helios's* captain has informed me that they're running spectral analysis on the chem trail that seems to have stopped leaking from the Exxon Valdez's hold. Typically, shipments running to Empress Station are for consumable fluids, water, and algae seed for their oxygen filters. From what I can tell, the leak coming out of Exxon Valdez's hull does n't resemble any of these things. We wo n't know more until the spectral analysis is complete. Due to the extreme range between *Helios* and Exxon Valdez, the spectral analysis could take a few hours. We will provide updates as we are able. Back to you in studio, Tricia,'' Lauren said. 
 
 `` Thank you, Lauren. We will continue updates as they are made available. Up next, are the allegations regarding Kardashian Industrial's illegal dumping on the moon true? We'll find out after these messages.''
