Thanks Drew for that explanation / clarification.
The other three CMDRs made it and got to Teorge, so the mission is accomplished. Alas the hero dies, that's tragic. I think Salomé's fate still makes a good story.

Players? I think you'll find it was a player and one who had an advantage over others, always knowing your characters location and of course this would facilitate instancing.
I don't wish to insult you but in my view both you and Frontier look very foolish and silly right now.
This debacle of yours has, in my view, damaged the IP of the game.

I found these in 3 systems (one of which had no other CMDRs) or so yesterday, was never interdicted, they showed up and as I got closer they grew in size and disappeared. 2 of 3 happened while Kahina was still in transit (still alive).

Like something cloaked, e.g. Predator
Can confirm. Had a lot of fun. And thank you Drew for organizing this event. o7
Many thanks, Drew, for your work and the update. I think what was important about this event was the attempt to do something different. I was excited to see how things unfolded and I think the game needs more of these sorts of story-based, interactive events. Here's to the next one! (But have a lie down first, of course...)
Thank you for finally clarifying this to the community who refused to believe.

Or most likely a bug. Occurred to me too.
As I understand it anecdotally and through experience you don't have to be interdicted, anything else in that system, not even necessarily in your instance being interdicted will cause it.
Here are both issues being reported as bugs, in the video you can see both effects, the screen ripple (which is what happens during an interdiciton on both screens behind the moving reticule and blue glowy effect) which you would see if you were not otherwise occupied during an interdiction and the circular effect if you look closely.
Sadly it is not a cloaked anything it is just a graphical bug
When something is interdicted it is causing the effects to appear misplaced on other screens.https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/348028-New-interdiction-bugs?highlight=interdiction

Human nature being what it is, many will still refuse to believe. I guess the best we can do is give them some sausage gravy and salt to season the bones they gnaw on.
This nor your previous post actually explain why the information was so valuable to defend in the first place, given it was all things we already knew, except for the one detail that Rebecca used to be one of those doing the mind-wiping.
Was this entire event just to provide new comers a bit of backstory on why community members view the Rift as so important?

+1 to this. Lots of us had fun, and I hope it's not the last.

Yep. Great experiment that will hopefully help the Devs figure out ways to make future events run even smoother.
Trying to stage manage an in game event like that, with so many people involved, and so many factors out side of your control must have been very challenging and stressful. You are never going to please everyone. But thanks to you making the effort, and giving everyone a chance to be involved, lots of people has fun.
The worse thing would have been not to try at all.
I am greatly looking forward to reading premonition. Thank you for the whole story Drew, it has added greatly to my enjoyment of this game, and I hope it continues to do so.

Well, for one thing, the things that "we already knew" were mostly conjecture. Spot on conjecture but still ... we needed confirmation. Rebecca's logs at Teorge help prove that conjecture right ... and hint toward the possibility that the "clone" theory isn't as far off as we once thought. I'm still not convinced on that one but ... who knows? Drew knows!
Masheikh Scytale
Banned
But the real tragedy here is... CMDR Masheikh Scytale has lost his, let's say, main love interest...
That...fox!
I had her in my iron sights but she managed to evade my interdiction !
I bet she used one of these witch-tricks !
I almost smashed my mouse against the wall when she escaped!
No...it's me. I am a terrible PvPer ...

Thanks Drew, it was fun and I think an excellent backdrop for ending the book - even though I wanted Salomé to survive (and was constantly interdicted by PAC in my humble Cobra Mk4).
Don't even think on quitting the story after Premonition!
