What do you mean you mean you've lost him! I thought you said you had them.

Your orders are to track this guy and make sure he doesn't talk to anyone about the operation.

Now get out there and find him. If I don't hear reports that Commander Hyford has been killed in a unfortunate accident in the next 24 hours, then consider yourself a dead man.

This is Commander Hyford. To any independent pilots or security forces please help. I'm being tracked by mercs, they're trying to kill me. Please help me.

I've manage to loose them for now, they seem to be tracking my comms and ship transponder so I've had to hack this listening post to get a message out.

I don't know why they are after me. Must be something to do with that last shipment. A private military complex out in the Pleiades. Not Fed or Imperial. I was told not to ask questions, just get the job done and that's what I did. I didn't know it was going to put a target on my back.

I'm heading for Colonia. I know a place I can hide out there on one of the far moons 5 e a.

Please send help.

No Matching Signals.

This is Commander Hyford and I fear this might be my last I log entry. so far I've been able hide from them, but I don't know how much longer I can go undetected.

I should never have left that message for help. They must have tracked me using the it somehow.

Well if this is it I'm not going quietly. There is a data cache at the following co-ordlnates Lat:39.1472 Long:29.2425. It contains all my ships log and data scans.

This is some kind of private military outfit, they operate outside the realm of the usual powers. I don't know who they answer to but the chain goes up pretty high. They are monitoring for alien encounters and tech. People are going missing. They are taking them and running experiments. That's what I was delivering. Escape pods full of people. I'm sorry for my part in this. It was a job that's all. Oh god help me...

I'm out of time.

== Notes ==
*Hyford's Cache was bugged when it was added to ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' in 2017, and its Ship Data Core did not contain any message when scanned. This issue was finally rectified with Update 6 for ''[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey]]'' on July 29, 2021, which added the "Hyford's Cache" message.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-update-6.586906/ Frontier Forums: Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 6]</ref>
