Hyperion Newsnet

Hyperion Newsnet was a broadcasting service of the planet Hyperion. In 2687 FSY, following the shocking murder of Professor Isaac Fogelman at the nearby University of Hyperion, Newsnet reporter Van Shui Pong was contacted by the late Professor's students Stavros Monemvasios and Andrea Dubois, with a strange file they had found in connection to the Professor: a partially erased record of the Survey Service starship Jeng Ho concerning the recent voyage to Bilbeis IV. It suggested that the starship had already returned to the Federacy, while the official report said that the ship had not yet made planetfall.

Following Van's Newsnet story on the matter, a Federacy subcommittee headed by Assemblywoman O'Kelly questioned Service Chairman Paulina Koch, who plausibly denied that anything was out of the ordinary regarding the Jeng Ho.
