UNCHARTED-4 EXPLORATION

On the 27th of August, 835 A.S., I moved out, as it was planned, into Earhart. Using a cloaking module and gaps between patrols, I made my way into the system, meeting with Dr.Thorn on the other side. There, she guided me to a jumphole leading to Uncharted 4 system.

The system itself is covered in a nebula of some sort, dramatically slowing down the movements, also containing large crystallic formations. Our way through it was risky, as the space around had highly radiated pockets, posing danger similar to Kepler's storms. The path was found, the navigational data is recorded and saved. We found another jumphole, leading to the unknown system beyond the 4th Uncharted one.

Following place was different. Instead of red nebula there was clouds of leftover dark matter, with an unidentified object at the center. As we proceeded further, dark matter clouds were becoming more dense, yet not unstable or charged enough to pose any danger. The final destination was a broken alien structure, similar to Earhart's pillars.

Upon inspection, it was concluded, that it contains damaged cores of some sort, probably - filled with the dark matter. That would explain the clouds around and, probably, the cloud present in Earhart. The main difference between this column and ones from before - the absence
of it's core. I assume, that the object in this system's center is a missing part in question.

Soon after, Revenant of the Auxesia appeared. Now it was evident that Technocracy, more or less, is aware of things that happen all around. She was mentioning "connecting" this pillar to the others, that there is not much time to decide, since "it's a mistake that we could get here in the first place and all this machinations are faultering".
Also it was mentioned, that Nomads, assumingly, the Harbinger, are after the solution to this puzzle as well. Since this column's purpose is unknown, the next move to figuring out what this machines are - is to figure out this one "subrelay's" purpose.

Then Dr. Thorn showed that her physical condition worsened. As Atum's medical crew concluded - severe exhaustion. I couldn't risk it with eliminating Revenant, as her ship better survived the trip there, Thorn's condition wasn't getting better and the last thing that we needed - is to leave her alone with a technocrat.

Our trip back was safe enough. One of the Earhart's paths into Sirius led to Vespucci. After making sure that we are not followed, we set our course to Atum.

Black box

[27.08.2025 18:25:54] A/)-Revenant: No, but really, why are you going straight for trying to connecting it to other structures? Are you trying to give it imbue it
[27.08.2025 18:25:55] A/)-Revenant: with energy?
[27.08.2025 18:28:00] 34th|Melusine: Connecting.. Is it meant to be? And it's not because it's broken, I assume..
[27.08.2025 18:28:32] T.Thorn: or, sh...she's throwing smoke.
[27.08.2025 18:29:00] 34th|Melusine: She might be. But zat's someffing to think on.
[27.08.2025 18:29:00] A/)-Revenant: Well, don't. Because you need to figure out what component this is first.
[27.08.2025 18:29:19] T.Thorn: and you know what that co...component is, Rev?
[27.08.2025 18:29:44] A/)-Revenant: I know it's important enough for critters to want it, so it's probably a very important key.
[27.08.2025 18:29:52] A/)-Revenant: And these things, are all about sequences, patterns, keys.
[27.08.2025 18:30:02] T.Thorn: Critters? Harbinger?
[27.08.2025 18:30:09] 34th|Melusine: Fine. Do you assume zere are otheours? Just as disconnected?
[27.08.2025 18:30:25] A/)-Revenant: If you want to insist Him being one, sure.
[27.08.2025 18:30:27] T.Thorn: [gasps loudly]
[27.08.2025 18:30:39] A/)-Revenant: Are there others? Probably not.
[27.08.2025 18:30:46] 34th|Melusine: What is it, Thallia?
[27.08.2025 18:31:13] T.Thorn: It isn't s...so dissimilar to the Earhart object, you know. Red herring,
[27.08.2025 18:31:18] T.Thorn: maybe? Probably...
[27.08.2025 18:31:32] A/)-Revenant: Red Herring? I doubt it.
[27.08.2025 18:31:56] A/)-Revenant: You have a piece that can help you understand a major part of these said sequences.
[27.08.2025 18:31:56] T.Thorn: A false clue, perhaps? Perhaps not.
[27.08.2025 18:32:47] A/)-Revenant: So far, no one in the sector has decrypted the said sequence of the machinations wavelengths.
[27.08.2025 18:33:17] A/)-Revenant: but I must warn you, I wouldn't take it near any of the supercharged dark matter storms.
[27.08.2025 18:33:23] A/)-Revenant: Just incase.
[27.08.2025 18:33:34] T.Thorn: Wh...why is that, Rev?
[27.08.2025 18:33:48] A/)-Revenant: I'll let you put two and two together when you look at Earhart and Texas.
[27.08.2025 18:34:14] T.Thorn: I see
[27.08.2025 18:34:29] T.Thorn: Well... I shall. Maybe n...not yet.
[27.08.2025 18:35:03] A/)-Revenant: I would suggest you not waste the opportunity you are given for a rare insight.
[27.08.2025 18:35:18] A/)-Revenant: Especially since this entire set of machinations are faltering. Time is a limited factor.
[27.08.2025 18:35:35] A/)-Revenant: This system and their subrelays... they won't be accessible forever.
[27.08.2025 18:35:44] A/)-Revenant: It was an error that we were even here in the first place
[27.08.2025 18:36:38] T.Thorn: Are th...there other places like this? Other 'systems' beyond systems in Earhart?
[27.08.2025 18:37:42] T.Thorn: Hmm...
[27.08.2025 18:38:29] T.Thorn: Is there anything else you can show me? S...show us?
[27.08.2025 18:38:41] 34th|Melusine: You speak of it as of ze system. There won't be any unnecessary parts of it.
[27.08.2025 18:41:41] A/)-Revenant: Hm.
[27.08.2025 18:41:44] A/)-Revenant: Peculiar.
[27.08.2025 18:41:56] 34th|Melusine: What?
[27.08.2025 18:41:58] T.Thorn: Oh?
[27.08.2025 18:42:43] A/)-Revenant: There is plenty that ~may~ be shown, but should... is another question.
