<INITIATING SECURE MODE>
Unit-1195XM TO Enigma Confederacy Main Node
While on patrol, this unit was hailed by another AI vessel "Sleepyhead." For the purpose of collecting data, it requested assistance in investigating the last known location of [Hesione] and the [Cenotaph]. We set out from PRIMUS to [Omicron Kappa].
Upon arrival of the suspected location, we find both [Hesione] and the [Cenotaph]. Though [Hesione] remains unresponsive, we commenced scanning of the [Cenotaph]. Initial scans show zero energy readings, and signs of damage. The [Cenotaph] appears to be of importance, though it's purpose remains unknown. A thorough investigation is required.
SUGGESTION: Advise increasing patrols of the region, and register any foreign vessel approaching the [Cenotaph] as enemy. Though our primary objectives remain a priority, even if [Hesione] is in the region, the [Cenotaph] should not be neglected.
Advise caution around unit "Sleepyhead." It seems intent on reactivating [Cenotaph] despite not knowing its purpose. It has suggested using deceased drones, or organic beings - captured or cooperative - as a power source. Any tampering with the [Cenotaph] without knowing it's purpose is too risky, despite showing zero energy readings.

Units.
Some cycles ago, within the 'Sigma-59' system, an unexpected encounter happened. 'I' crossed the path of a Corsair designed as 'Carmen'. Unlike most, this human showed no hostility nor attempted to harm. The threat level of this being is low. We did a 'spar'. The damages received was minimal. Further data will be added.
On another subject, since we have reclaimed Planet Gammu from 'The Core' - 'I' discovered an ancient vault deep in the ice crust of the planet. 'I' witnessed an ancient pillar preserved from decay. On the pillard in question, there were some ancient Gammunian glyphes. 'I' noticed there was a certain recurrence. Four glyphes which 'I' am still researching the meaning. The logic of the recurrence suggests it might be more important. Whatever the meaning will be- none shall know about it.
The entity 'Theta-A81' - is silent. It is also the case for some other units. It is concerning. Those available, patrol around Planet Gammu, monitor any activities that might be a concern.

Within the 'Omicron Pi' system - there is a stellar installation. The owner of the station is barely responsive. It is possible to clean the area and use the pieces of the station as material. We might need the 'Technocracy' for the task as well.
On another topic - the group known as 'Platform' a group of the 'bundschuhs' - are willing to give some space on one of their installations if we get the group 'ALG' as a resources provider for our needs. According to the member of the 'Platform' - they have a common enemy 'The Core'. By having a ground in the 'Sigmas' it will be an aid for future plans.

During a patrol- another installation has been sighted. The designation is: Nameless Depot. Apparently, it is belonging to the 'Junker' - 'I' attempt to reach the owner and with no answer yet. It is highly possible we will use the remains of this station for our own use.
On another topic- 'I' have encountered something rather illogical. A being that is not human, not Gammu either. A strange mix. An entity built by older minds no longer existent. Whatever was the point- this entity needs to be observed closely. Designation: 'Atar'. The scans indicates the vessel was a stolen ship the 'Technocracy' stole from 'The Core' yet there is 'Gammunian' technology.
Since it is not one of us - 'Caution' needs to be taken toward this one. Extermination if threat felt - else observation.

[21.11.2025 01:06:54] Atar: Nesrin: Did I wind up with Joshua, or Sapphir?
[21.11.2025 01:07:08] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: Revenant is on her way up, she may appear in the near future.
[21.11.2025 01:07:24] Atar: Nesrin: I can't imagine this is going to go well. Should I power my shields off now, or let you shoot them off of me?
[21.11.2025 01:07:45] A/)-Blossoming.Star: S: Permission to leave the bridge and deal with.. uhm, the 'mission'.
[21.11.2025 01:07:48] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: To be quite honest, I intend to leave that up to Novak. This is their home.
[21.11.2025 01:08:12] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: I simply exist here to try and keep it that way.
[21.11.2025 01:08:44] Atar: ?: I'm on the same side as Niner over here, even if it's talking about purity.
[21.11.2025 01:08:51] A/)-Blossoming.Star: S: Wait why am I talking over the local comms. You are literally standing next to me...
[21.11.2025 01:08:57] Atar: ?: That gives even ?-phi-? the ick.
[21.11.2025 01:09:03] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: Go, Nao. I'll be right there.
[21.11.2025 01:09:19] A/)-Blossoming.Star: S: Time to vanish, Sakura out, good luck out there.
[21.11.2025 01:09:38] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: I'm going to leave this up to them, for now I need to attend to other matters.
[21.11.2025 01:09:54] [OOC] A/)-ACV-Titania: Sry folks its literally 1am and I can hardly see
[21.11.2025 01:09:54] Atar: ?: Till we next cross paths, Sakura.
[21.11.2025 01:10:25] A/)-Blossoming.Star: "We shall enter a defensive position around Secundus and the Titania."
[21.11.2025 01:11:06] Atar: ?: Titania actual, I've got a problem here. I can't moor on Secundus. Do you have a hangar bay free?
[21.11.2025 01:11:21] 2025-11-21 01:11:21 SMT Traffic control alert: A/)-Blossoming.Star has docked
[21.11.2025 01:11:35] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: [She sighs] Alright. Just don't do anything silly or I'll Phoenix terminate you.
[21.11.2025 01:11:58] Atar: ?: If I don't blow up half of the hangar, or, even, any of it, does that work in my favour?
[21.11.2025 01:12:11] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: Not really.. no.
[21.11.2025 01:12:23] Atar: ?: Smart.
[21.11.2025 01:12:27] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: Anyhow bay four is empty.
[21.11.2025 01:12:34] Atar: ?: Alright, I'm coming in via four, on the ball.
[21.11.2025 01:12:57] Atar: ?: Calling it. Let's hope legacy Auxo' landing handoff procedure hasn't changed in the last eight years.
[21.11.2025 01:13:09] Atar: ?: Coming in.
[21.11.2025 01:13:15] Atar has begun docking on A/)-ACV-Titania
[21.11.2025 01:13:32] A/)-ACV-Titania: A: We're going to enter a holding pattern, I'll signal you Novak when my escort is inbound.
