Researching these Baxter-Type Anomalies seems like a task that few pilots and fewer researchers dedicate time to doing. While I was out gaining updated data on Omicron Lost, a scientist by the name of von Braun made himself known. Operating a Corvo-Class vessel, he was also interested in these anomalies. The pilot of the Endeavour has a strained relationship with von Braun, akin to my own with Rex. Perhaps I should meet them in person and compare our notes. Below is a recording of our conversation.

Code:
[11.05.2022 11:39:25] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: Travis, please stop banging your head on the console. It's not sanitary or healthy.
[11.05.2022 11:39:53] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr Braun: Ah, another anomaly.
[11.05.2022 11:40:15] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: Perplexing these things...popping up everywhere.
[11.05.2022 11:40:32] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: You research these Baxter-Type Anomalies too?
[11.05.2022 11:40:57] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: Mmm, yes. I have a...theory as to what they are and why they're popping up.
[11.05.2022 11:41:10] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: Coorelates with the Dark Matter storms we've been seeing more of.
[11.05.2022 11:41:18] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: I hope I'm wrong.
[11.05.2022 11:41:20] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Mind if you share your theory? I have one of my own.
[11.05.2022 11:41:33] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: It relates, I believe, to the Nomads.
[11.05.2022 11:41:53] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: How, I'm not sure as of yet, that's why I need to get more data to verify my data points.
[11.05.2022 11:42:21] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: The Doc thinks that the Nomads are gonna invade again. Or something like that.
[11.05.2022 11:42:27] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: My theory is based on data gathered from all other Anomaly sightings.
[11.05.2022 11:43:21] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: All solid bodies in space have a gravitational pull, correct?
[11.05.2022 11:43:27] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: True.
[11.05.2022 11:43:50] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Every system I have seen these anomalies in, they have a giant sun.
[11.05.2022 11:44:18] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: My theory is that the sun, and the gravitational pull of these solid objects create a field.
[11.05.2022 11:44:40] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: This field is where the conditions are perfect for these anomalies to spawn to life.
[11.05.2022 11:44:50] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: Except, according to my data, this system holds a White Dwarf.
[11.05.2022 11:45:10] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: How do you explain the anomaly, if you'll pardon the pun, in your theorm?
[11.05.2022 11:45:42] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Reduction of one side is to increase the other. Planet Moros is quite a large object.
[11.05.2022 11:46:15] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: That is a fair point, however I need point out that while Planet Moros is indeed large, it pales in comparison to...
[11.05.2022 11:46:23] LDRS-Endeavour: ...the gravometric field of a star.
[11.05.2022 11:46:53] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: Your theory is interesting. I'll do some research on it and see if it bears any fruit.
[11.05.2022 11:47:18] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: The field of the star is disturbed by the fields generated by every solid object.
[11.05.2022 11:47:26] LDRS-Endeavour: Dr. Braun: If gravometric fields have some sway over this...and Dark Matter makes up most of the universe...hmmm...
[11.05.2022 11:47:45] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: He's gone, Arcturus. He's in his head again.
[11.05.2022 11:47:48] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: This field we sit in, every asteroid, every rock. Possibly makes the best conditions.
[11.05.2022 11:48:23] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: You've got him theorizing again. He's already wandered off. He lacks...social qualities that most people have you see.
[11.05.2022 11:48:32] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: You may call me Albert. Being called Arcturus gives me a weird feeling.
[11.05.2022 11:48:52] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Will do. As I was saying, don't take it to offense. He's...an odd man.
[11.05.2022 11:49:12] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: That makes two of us. My assistant here is quite upset. He stays quiet most times.
[11.05.2022 11:49:55] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Well, then I should let you get going? The doctor wished to return to the research station for some Orange Juice...
[11.05.2022 11:49:59] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Wish I was joking.
[11.05.2022 11:50:07] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Orange... juice. Interesting.
[11.05.2022 11:50:14] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Like I said...
[11.05.2022 11:50:17] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: He's an odd man.
[11.05.2022 11:50:32] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Seems we are both flying the same way.
[11.05.2022 11:50:39] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I would like to continue our chat.
[11.05.2022 11:50:48] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: I'll form up on you. I need to hit the head.
[11.05.2022 11:51:09] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: I'll be right back.
[11.05.2022 11:51:25] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Are you not going to research the other anomalies? Scans show you have enough resources.
[11.05.2022 11:52:27] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Alright, I'm back.
[11.05.2022 11:52:46] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Honestly, the doctor wanted to research them but he's...long gone.
[11.05.2022 11:52:51] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Talking to himself again.
[11.05.2022 11:53:04] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Then we'll return to Omicron Kappa.
[11.05.2022 11:53:17] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Acknowledged. Formed up on your vessel.
[11.05.2022 11:55:40] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: How is it I have not met you before?
[11.05.2022 11:56:38] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: I don't want to see him behind the command console of a ship either.
[11.05.2022 11:57:02] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: With those damned things around, he's liable to ask them to take a sample of their ships and get blasted.
[11.05.2022 11:58:10] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Despite this, your ship is out from drydock and flying through the Omicrons, no less.
[11.05.2022 11:58:28] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: I have a...history out here.
[11.05.2022 11:58:40] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Let's just say I'm running away from it and leave it at that.
[11.05.2022 11:58:59] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Understood.
[11.05.2022 11:59:25] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I will be focused on compiling my research notes to concern myself with your past.
[11.05.2022 11:59:36] LDRS-Endeavour: *Travis Laughs*
[11.05.2022 11:59:49] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Well, thanks for that I suppose. I guess really I've come to sort of care for the crazy bugger.
[11.05.2022 11:59:58] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Like a crazy grand-dad.
[11.05.2022 12:01:17] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I may need to meet him. Can we compare notes? I have hypothesis to test.
[11.05.2022 12:01:30] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: You can...try.
[11.05.2022 12:01:54] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: What is your field?
[11.05.2022 12:01:57] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: As I said, he lacks social decorum. He might seem...hostile but he just wants to focus on his theories.
[11.05.2022 12:02:01] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: I'm just a pilot.
[11.05.2022 12:02:31] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Just like flying things I guess. I have some engineering background from college but never pursued it.
[11.05.2022 12:02:49] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: What sub-field in engineering?
[11.05.2022 12:03:03] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Would you be surprised that it was all about engines?
[11.05.2022 12:03:12] LDRS-Endeavour: *Travis laughs*
[11.05.2022 12:03:32] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: No. I'm not susprised. Seems to be a popular choice.
[11.05.2022 12:03:40] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Not those big boys or anything, Hyperdrives scare the bejesus out of me.
[11.05.2022 12:03:59] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Something about ripping holes in space/time just doesn't seem natural.
[11.05.2022 12:04:20] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: The company I work for wouldn't be a great place for you.
[11.05.2022 12:04:43] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Eh. I'm not really looking for employment at the moment. The Doc might, but where he goes, I go.
[11.05.2022 12:04:53] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I will be right back, the crew here knows the equipment I need.
[11.05.2022 12:05:09] 2022-05-11 12:05:09 SMT Traffic control alert: '\S/'Arcturus has requested to dock
[11.05.2022 12:05:31] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Much better when we are equipped properly.
[11.05.2022 12:06:08] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: True. Just got some nonsense on here. Doctor had no idea what he was doing when he put this ship together.
[11.05.2022 12:06:18] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Had to get it sorted when he brought me onboard.
[11.05.2022 12:06:29] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Your vessel is not a standard Corvo schematic?
[11.05.2022 12:06:41] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: The chassis is sure, I was more speaking about the loadout.
[11.05.2022 12:06:56] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Would you believe the man insisted on some sort of crazy prototype weapons? Ship doesn't even have a mount for that.
[11.05.2022 12:07:25] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I have no comment on weapons. As you can see, I have none, bar one.
[11.05.2022 12:07:48] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Some prefer it that way. I can get out of any scrape behind the "wheel" so to speak. Don't really even need em.
[11.05.2022 12:07:54] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Just some extra insurance I suppose.
[11.05.2022 12:08:10] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Ready to fly?
[11.05.2022 12:08:33] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: The Doc is demanding we dock for the evening. Your theories have him all in a tizzy.
[11.05.2022 12:08:50] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Do tell him Albert McKenzie of the Starfliers wishes to meet him.
[11.05.2022 12:09:12] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Just send him a communication. His name is Doctor Claude von Braun.
[11.05.2022 12:09:24] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Von Braun... noted.
[11.05.2022 12:09:33] LDRS-Endeavour: Travis: Docking. Save travels Albert.
[11.05.2022 12:09:39] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Godspeed.
