I'm reaching out to you to check if you are okay. I encountered someone the other week who is dearly scared for you, they went by the name of Eros.
And to be honest, I haven't heard much about you anywhere.
Are you okay? How goes your research? Did you get into trouble with the Order because of your Orca? I'm slightly concerned, especially with all that mess that is apparently going on in the Omicrons.
I've send this over a secure transmission sequence, in hopes that I won't be tracked down or of it getting intercepted.

To sender: My name is Viktoria, and I am currently filling in James’ duties to the best of my abilities. I presume your inquiry is on behalf of his safety and health, which he is stable. An automated security protocol on his integrated computer security system put him into a molecular stasis, which great care must be taken to ensure healthy recovery. The events up to his stasis have been vaguely explained to me at best, and these events for some reason reactivated me out of my own stasis lasting the last 47 years. It has been… a struggle to catch up on current events. Containment of his research remains stable up to now, power demands are critical. Care is being taken to more successfully contain said samples. If you need, I can arrange a face to face meeting on my behalf if the information I have given is not sufficient. James knew something nobody else I’ve met or knew knows, and it will fade into the darkness if we do not act swiftly to return him to his former state...
From what I've been told, the appearance of a higher evolved being, among the Nomads sparked the event. This being was of a ascended form to normal Nomadic Marduk mind form, but did not show any outright hostilities. James was allured by the choice of path, and shortly after stating, "I choose the path of knowledge and wisdom, but not at the cost of my own free will," he faded from consciousness, enabling an emergency molecular stasis protocol on his ship. I was able to cancel one of two protocols, the one that I terminated was a self-destruction protocol, effectively saving his work and his life. He is currently aboard his own vessel, the "Talendar," in his current state. However, he wont be saved until we are able to return him to his consciousness at his former state. The Order is providing any necessary medical supplies and assistance once the stasis effect is terminated. I will not decline further help, but know he will not be freed from stasis until I gain access to his integrated security system, which is beyond complexities I'm familiar with. It has given the Order and AI alike significant trouble in breaching, but all systems will fail at some point. The breaching process has already begun, it is only time we are fighting at this point.

Translating Data...
Aha... It's the specimen that we've seen before.
It's known as Ish'Tar, it appears to be some kind of 'evolved' form of the Marduk, though I've only encountered it through means of combat.
Anyway.
I'll be in the area, if you wish, we can meet at Freeport 11, I brought some extra supplies. Although it may seem like I'll need to apply them to a comrade... They've uh... taken a 'trip' to Nauru it seems. Oh well.
If you wish to meet with me, you may do so. I can, within my bounds, leave Zeta at this point... I'll be heading to Freeport 11 anyway to pick up additional supplies and rations.
