You are not a fighter.

You are merely a scouting ship with the purpose of scanning the ships of the enemy army. Ideally you would remain hidden, but today you have been spotted.

Your mission remains your only priority. You must scan the enemy ships until you have enough data to help your cause, and survive to bring this information home.

Controls:

• Arrow keys (while not scanning) - Move your ship
• Z or shift - Scan
• Arrow keys (while scanning) - Move scanning crosshair
• Enter - Pause

In order to scan a ship, you must hold Z to make the crosshair visible. The arrow keys will now control the crosshair instead of the ship. Move the crosshair to the enemy ship and stay there for as long as necessary. You can interrupt scanning at any time and resume from where you left when you scan another ship. Don't forget you cannot move while the crosshair is active, so you are at your most vulnerable!

Some enemies are not known to your cause... you'll need to find a way to decode their information.
