Time and fate are fickle things yet intentions can prove durable and ardent. At long last, I've been able to bring to bear the extensive sensor suite needed to carry out an analysis of the emitted field from site ONT-1. The Aletheia has all the subtlety of a bulldozer, sure, but I shan't regret it's ability to employ and support more faculties for research than the Solace could ever handle.

... and with it, progress. Bringing the Aletheia to bear in proximity of the anomalous site, myself and the crew dedicated ourselves to collecting as much data from the emissions as we could. Several probes were employed and, before their destruction, were able to return an uncorrupted connection for ten or so minutes at a time. Collating the data into a continuous time series has revealed a most perplexing and fascinating question.

At irregular intervals, the strength of magnetic forces within the emitted beam fluctuates. As the field intensifies, the polarity of the field inverses. More fascinating still is that this seemingly irregular behaviour periodically repeats. The implications of this are intriguing and concerning in equal measure. Is this is a consequence of an erratic yet repeating influence of the astmospheric collation below? Perhaps the energetic field on the surface exhibits it's own magnetic field that interacts constructively with the anomaly above in a predictable fashion? Maybe it is an intentional, designed feature of whatever has been activated within the ruins below. If an intended creation, what is it's purpose? Could it be a message of some sort? A signal? Perhaps a method employed to regulate the anomalies emissions into the tight-beam that now cascades across the stars?

Answers to such questions continue to prove elusive, and so the work continues.
