Premier,

I hope you are receiving this. Even our FnordNet transponders are suffering due to the current storm.

However, I have one item of interest which your scientists may find of interest. Our FnordNet sensors in Dauphine have picked up something unusual, possibly linked to the storm.

As you may know, we have an interest in the Privas "Formation" near Briancon in Dauphine. We believe it is somehow linked to quite a few ancient Terran legends about contact with extraterrestrials from the vicinity of Sirius. Whether this "contact" was actually physcial, or of some transmission generated from Sirius, is yet to be determined.

However, our sensors near the Privas formation seem to indicate an increased radiation flux from the "apexes" of the four outer bodies. This increase began about the same time as the ion storm, and seems to be on the order of 15% in magnitude.

We will continue to monitor the Artifact, and inform you of any further developments.

Mal
