Attention commanders, this is HQ.
You have been called on to do your duty by escorting Dr. Clark on this expedition into Guardian space. Dr. Clark will be researching Guardian technology so that we may use it to better protect our interests. Intelligence suggests the big three have been doing the same; we cannot let these imperialists gain the technological advantage! The following is the itinerary for your voyage:
Fri 3.19.3307
[08:00:00 UTC] Fleet Carrier Bear Mighty Strong V2V-5HV departs from the Clayakarma system with all onboard to Synuefe XR-H D11-102 (Guardian data site). All who just want Guardian blueprints can jump off here.
[08:15:00 UTC] Depart for Statue of Liberty Nebula (approx. 6,000ly from the bubble). We will be stationed here for 24 hours so everybody can log on, make one jump to a neighboring system or do a little exploration in that time.
Sat 3.20.3307
[08:00:00 UTC] Depart for Synuefe XR-H D11-102 (arrive approx. 12:30:00 UTC). We will be stationed here for 24 hours to allow everyone to jump off for Guardian blueprint collection.
Sun 3.21.3307
[08:00:00 UTC] Return to the Clayakarma system.
On the surface this is a mining mission financed by the Eukleia Mining Limited. Stick to your stories in the event you contact any outsiders. Fleet Commander Aleksander K. has authority here; do as they say and everything will go according to plan.
Godspeed,
HQ

Attention please:
All Captains be prepared for the jump to Synuefe NL-N C23-4 in 1 hour.
[UTC 8:16:31 3.20.3307] Shiplog: Wow, it sure it is pretty out here.

Attention please.
We will shortly be commencing our final jump home to Clayakarma. On behalf of our sponsor I would like thank you for traveling with us and gathering the data required, we hope you enjoyed the journey and gained new experiences.
For any interested parties, FC Bear Mighty Strong will be importing tritium at slightly above market value to restock the reserves for future expeditions. All are welcome to help.
o7 Cmdrs. Never fly alone.
P.S. Be sure to unlock Guardian modules with the Guardian blueprints!
