        • Opening this save a very strange bug happened (sudden unit relocation), details went via PM to Googlie. I won't play ahead until the matter is solved.

          • Do you mean a 'our unit has fallen in a dimensional gate' event?

            • No - it's actually legit (AndiD - it's exactly as I surmised in my PM answer. I just looked at your turns and then scenario-tested it)

              • No, it's a probe team being sent "home" (not exactly home but kind of home) all of a sudden without notice (and without sense) when some circumstances come together.

                • In one of my pbems I intercepted a probe foil and it gave me several options, one of the option is to send it home.

                  • So any military unit attacking a probe team has a choice? I'm pretty sure I have attacked a few AI probe teams before... Do you only have the choice if you are not at vendetta?

                    • I'm not sure. But in that pbem I was at treaty with the other player.

                      • Ah, that's it. Haven't yet encountered any (AI) probe team from a friendly AI and therefore don't know that option.

                        Never mind, I'll play ahead in minutes...

                            • Here's the relevant section from the script.txt file

                              extracted from script.txt

                              #ENEMYPROBE
                              #xs 440
                              #caption Operations Director
                              We have detected a $ $PROBETEAM1, $TITLE2. Your instructions?
                              • Leave them unmolested
                              • Interrogate them, then return them unharmed
                              • Eliminate them!
                              When you move a unit to the probe team you'll get that message with any probe teams you encounter, whether in Pact, Treaty, Truce or first meeting. But in Vendetta, you'll attack them.
