**Shuttle Crash**

 Propulsion Proponent Proclamation

Missing Scientist is a pre-FTL civilization event chain that can trigger if an Observation Post is conducting  Passive Observation. It can only happen once per game. Most of the event chain can be averted if a special project is completed. Once the event chain starts dismantling the Observation Post or revealing the empire's presence will no longer be possible until the event chain ends one way or another.

### Shuttle Crash on [pre-FTL world name]

*During a clandestine mission to the surface of [pre-FTL world name], one of our shuttles was intercepted by a squadron of atmospheric fighters belonging to a local nation state. A lucky missile hit disabled the shuttle's engines, and it crashed in a remote wilderness region.

We need to act fast if we are to evacuate any survivors before the natives reach the crash site. All evidence of our presence must be removed!*

**Time is short.*** Issue Special Project: Rescue Shuttle Survivors
* Pre-FTL civilization gains 30  Awareness
* If the  Non-interference Act resolution has been passed the empire will be in breach of galactic law for 10 years

Operatives Rescued on [pre-FTL world name]

*Operatives from the [science ship name] managed to evacuate several survivors from the crashed shuttle on [pre-FTL world name]. The remaining debris was destroyed in a controlled explosion, leaving nothing but a small crater for the natives to find.The nation state where this incident occurred will no doubt blame its neighbors for this border violation, but the disruption to their natural development should hopefully prove minimal.*

**Excellent.*** Society Research Gained:  350-100000

Operatives Captured on [pre-FTL world name]

*Native forces on [pre-FTL world name] arrived at the crash site before we could get to our downed research team, and all survivors have been captured. The natives have established a perimeter around the shuttle wreckage, and their best scientists are no doubt in the process of analyzing it.They now have indisputable evidence that life exists beyond their own world. Exactly what effect this will have on their society remains to be seen...*

**This is not good.*** Pre-FTL civilization becomes Fully Aware
