Hostile Infiltration Detected

Our Encryption measures have caught a band of dangerous infiltrators. These would-be hostiles appear to be working on behalf of the …, on a scheme which would have cost many … lives and caused us significant damage. We have managed to decrypt various materials they were carrying, however none lays out the full scope of their plans against us; nor are we able to say with certainty what their next move may be. Our Intel gains are therefore relatively small. We must carefully consider how to respond. We may wish to keep quiet about our own capabilities, feigning ignorance in front of our other galactic neighbors. We would, however, also be justified in publicly denouncing this planned act of violence against us.
