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.

[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.

Halpie called me while I was in Leeds. I wasn't mapping, but I was exploring.
He told me to go to Freeport 14 in Inverness and meet him there. I have no idea where Inverness is...
[...Ten Hours Later...]
Halpie wasn't at Freeport 14. I got there but his ship was gone. Out of sheer boredom I did a quick survey of the System. I didn't scan anything, or use the mapping gear, just a quick once around to assess the threats and opportunities...
I didn't realise at the time that I was doing something wrong. Halpie... No, Mr Halpert, got a little disappointed with me later on. I didn't know that we weren't supposed to explore around Inverness. Thankfully I wasn't mapping it at all, so I think I scraped by on a technicality. However, I found a Nomad base... It was enormous. They shot at me, I ran. Sadly, due to how fast everything happened and the thick dust, I do not know the co-ordinates that the base was. Also, they took out my camera again.

If there is one thing I dislike about this ship, it's how flimsy the camera mounting is...

When I got back to Freeport 14 I received a comm from Halp... Mr Halpert to head to Holman Station. Thankfully, I knew how to get there this time. I was just so excited to see Mr Halpert again, I kinda slipped up and forgot my honorifics. I was careful to call him "Sir" for the rest of the trip, just to be safe.

He was talking to a man named William. William was a friendly person, he sounded a bit older than me, but not too much so. It's a pity that we stuck to voice comms, I wonder what he looked like... I bet he's ok, not too hot, not too ugly. He got along well with Mr Halpert, so that's a good thing.

Mr Halpert asked if I'd seen anywhere interesting, but I hadn't. He then suggested somewhere in the Taus... I was born in the Taus and was convinced there wasn't anything to surprise me... But I was wrong.
First Hal... Mr Halpert surprised me by telling me there used to be more bases in Tau-23. I tried hard, but I can't remember them at all. I bet it was a really long time ago.

Then he took us to this jumphole that I have never seen before, I swear this wasn't here last time I flew by...
We jumped through and ended up in a very pretty red , blue and purple system. It was a binary system with a gas giant and multiple smaller planetoids/moons in orbit. Mr Halpert warned us not to go too far...

Yet, Mr Halpert was able to scan the planetoids and discovered they were named. I couldn't make out the names in my computer. So I think Mr Halpert had explored the system by himself earlier. William said he detected weird lifesigns and the conversation turned to Nomads, so I mentioned about the base I found.
Mr Halpert told me it was a forbidden system and berated me for exploring Inverness. When I signed up, it said that I was not to take on contract work in certain systems, but not that they were forbidden.

I later heard from Mr Leon that there are reasons for these to be forbidden and that he is updating the terms of employment. This is to prevent further misunderstandings as we might annoy certain militaries if we persist. Fair enough then.

I've also been warned never to go to that system in the Taus again. Mr Halpert apparently showed it to me so that my curiosity wouldn't get the better of me, some time down the track. I also found that that Mr Halpert WAS the one I heard about in the rumours, who went to Alaska.

Flying around Pennsylvania, well, around Liberty in general, bumped into an Auxo vessel near a wreck. Almost pegged him for a pirate and ran but I noticed those purple lights. No pirate is that colourful. Had a chat, mentioned I had some free time and the Auxo offered me a task to complete. Support the Zoners in Liberty, specifically, Erie. As a lone pilot I'm not able to do much. But hey, the Auxo gave me some pointers so we'll see what we can try accomplish. I'm looking to transport fuel to Erie. Time to recruit some extra pilots.


Code:
[11.05.2023 10:03:19] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Back off, pirate.
[11.05.2023 10:04:13] A/)-Sybaris: Hail.
[11.05.2023 10:04:16] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Oh, not a pirate.
[11.05.2023 10:04:27] A/)-Sybaris: You would indeed be mistaken.
[11.05.2023 10:04:54] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Been a while, this ship got a little rusty.
[11.05.2023 10:05:04] A/)-Sybaris: Are you looking for something?
[11.05.2023 10:05:31] '\S/'Pulsar: *chuckles* A luxurious planet to live on with no House rules would be a start.
[11.05.2023 10:06:19] A/)-Sybaris: It seems all the Zoner worlds are compromised with such... ideas being tainted by the Houses.
[11.05.2023 10:06:56] '\S/'Pulsar: They got the right idea living inbetween the populated areas.
[11.05.2023 10:07:12] A/)-Sybaris: Are you not assisting the uprising in Penny'?
[11.05.2023 10:08:01] '\S/'Pulsar: I support in spirit, but take a look at me, I can't do anything except fly in circles.
[11.05.2023 10:08:39] '\S/'Pulsar: Of which I've been doing recently. Another station here, another pilot there. Nothing has changed.
[11.05.2023 10:10:03] A/)-Sybaris: You can do much more.
[11.05.2023 10:10:09] A/)-Sybaris: Information, setting up supply lines...
[11.05.2023 10:10:32] '\S/'Pulsar: A scout?
[11.05.2023 10:11:09] A/)-Sybaris: More or less.
[11.05.2023 10:11:14] A/)-Sybaris: You can find new traders and supporters.
[11.05.2023 10:11:21] A/)-Sybaris: But... make sure the Xenos aren't involved.
[11.05.2023 10:11:34] A/)-Sybaris: The snakes are trying to wiggle in to local power.
[11.05.2023 10:11:55] '\S/'Pulsar: Well they've already shot down one of us quite some time ago.
[11.05.2023 10:12:12] '\S/'Pulsar: So if you're asking if I like them, the answer is no.
[11.05.2023 10:13:42] '\S/'Pulsar: You know what? Let's do it this way...
[11.05.2023 10:13:54] A/)-Sybaris: I'd be wary of the Xenos, they house the Order.
[11.05.2023 10:13:59] A/)-Sybaris: More or less acts as their slaves.
[11.05.2023 10:14:16] '\S/'Pulsar: Fantastic.
[11.05.2023 10:14:54] '\S/'Pulsar: You want a guy who can walk a certain line, and I'm a guy who find themselves as a free bird.
[11.05.2023 10:15:18] A/)-Sybaris: It's your choice, ultimately.
[11.05.2023 10:15:34] '\S/'Pulsar: Everyone else is either missing or rift-jumped into the unknown.
[11.05.2023 10:15:40] '\S/'Pulsar: Also, I'm bored.
[11.05.2023 10:15:41] A/)-Sybaris: Hm.
[11.05.2023 10:16:03] A/)-Sybaris: A shame you outsiders always seem to disappear.
[11.05.2023 10:16:10] A/)-Sybaris: I grow quite fond of the curious, heh.
[11.05.2023 10:16:24] A/)-Sybaris: Seems like y'all are always destined to disappear.
[11.05.2023 10:16:36] A/)-Sybaris: One group shows, fades out. Rinse, repeat.
[11.05.2023 10:16:36] '\S/'Pulsar: Leon did speak highly of your co-operation.
[11.05.2023 10:16:49] A/)-Sybaris: Did he go missing too?
[11.05.2023 10:17:09] '\S/'Pulsar: I haven't seen him in ages. Once we left Kepler, that was it.
[11.05.2023 10:17:13] A/)-Sybaris: Ah.
[11.05.2023 10:17:20] A/)-Sybaris: Unfortunate.
[11.05.2023 10:17:49] '\S/'Pulsar: Could still be around, saw Albert quite some time ago, using a new Zoner ship or something.
[11.05.2023 10:18:03] A/)-Sybaris: Is the Starfliers group disbanded then?
[11.05.2023 10:18:04] '\S/'Pulsar: But us explorers, time's up.
[11.05.2023 10:18:45] '\S/'Pulsar: Better to ask Leon, if you can find him or reach him. All I know is that no new pilots share our mentality or goals.
[11.05.2023 10:18:58] A/)-Sybaris: Concerning.
[11.05.2023 10:19:22] '\S/'Pulsar: Which is why I find myself free. So what's first with helping the Zoners?
[11.05.2023 10:20:07] A/)-Sybaris: Well, best to try to ease off their dependence from the Order and the Xenos, 'cause they're gonna end up controlling them.
[11.05.2023 10:20:25] A/)-Sybaris: Overheard something about the Xenos going unhinged, breaking NFZ, so forth. Wonder if they're gonna mess things up.
[11.05.2023 10:21:33] '\S/'Pulsar: In laymens terms, please. Keep it real simple.
[11.05.2023 10:21:45] A/)-Sybaris: Mmm...
[11.05.2023 10:21:57] A/)-Sybaris: Find people who can support Erie, without them being associated with other groups.
[11.05.2023 10:22:37] '\S/'Pulsar: Rally supporters for the Zoners.
[11.05.2023 10:22:54] A/)-Sybaris: Yeah. An underground movement.
[11.05.2023 10:22:58] A/)-Sybaris: Can't let Liberty know.
[11.05.2023 10:23:32] '\S/'Pulsar: Uh... huh.
[11.05.2023 10:23:40] A/)-Sybaris: Plenty of Freelancers that go around.
[11.05.2023 10:24:08] '\S/'Pulsar: Yeah, see getting a bunch of single pilots together isn't gonna cut this one.
[11.05.2023 10:24:19] A/)-Sybaris: You don't have to group them up.
[11.05.2023 10:24:22] A/)-Sybaris: Just give them tasks.
[11.05.2023 10:24:26] A/)-Sybaris: "Deliver fuel to here... " so forth.
[11.05.2023 10:24:36] A/)-Sybaris: Or ask them about their interests.
[11.05.2023 10:24:38] A/)-Sybaris: Gauge their feelings.

I'm sure you are all aware right now, something big is about to happen within Liberty. There was an open transmission from Nicole Hayes. They are... or were... a Captain in the ranks of the Navy, at least with the information they had presented in their open transmission.

My message to all of you today is a request. Let me make something clear, we under normal circumstances don't get involves in battles, skirmishes or fleet wars of any sort. This situation Hayes has presented is not normal. The Zoners of Pennsylvania are up against Liberty and knowing what we do about their forces, obliteration of the Zoner population is something I'm not happy about.

I have reached out to Hayes, offering them safe haven with me for the time being. With this storm rolling into Pennsylvania shortly, my request to all Starfliers is this:

Please help the Zoners. If any of their ships, transports or fighters get destroyed, or their pilots eject, tractor in everyone you see from that battlefield and bring them to a medical centre. Preferably outside of Liberty. The Navy may see us as a target while we fly around rescuing stranded pilots, I am not going to ignore this fact. We will be shot at, as we'll be seen helping the Zoners.

I understand this is a huge ask. My view on the use of weapons remains unchanged, but I ask you help them by keeping them alive. If these pilots and crew members are captured, we can only imagine what Liberty may do to prisoners. Relocate to Bethlehem Station, gather as much courage and sleep as you can. Very soon, the blue and red colours will march in and that will be our time to help.

Well, today turned into a super weird day. I was running around with Leon aboard the '\S/NX-01 doing some jump drive tests. After landing in Omega 41, we stopped at Freeport 5 for refueling. After we got done, a strange contact appeared on our scope. A closer look revealed it to be a Nomad. It surprisingly didn't open fire, but I am glad. It was curious as to what we were doing. Leon revealed that he talked to another Nomad called Eris a while back. I was surprised to hear that, but glad. We kept asking each other questions, despite my objections to not doing such, though I would rather ask a Nomad questions than to die by one. Eventually, we left, heading for Cortez. Apparently, it is our new home.

It was very recently that the Liberty Government and Navy changed the laws around to allow public access to Omicron Nu. Figured I'd take my Bustard out to see the system again, as it has been a while. Flying around the northern end of the system, came across a core ship by the name of Celtic. Unsure of what their purpose was in the system, but I left them be next to Rarotonga and flew towards the alien-looking structure to see if anything was there. I stopped as an unknown signal appeared on radar, thinking it was a glitch I kept moving, though it did not disappear.

I saw a warship in the distance that looked slightly unusualy, though from where I was positioned I could not make out where it came from. The ship in question told me to leave, as it was dangerous to linger around the graveyard. I took the Captain's advice and flew to Rarotonga where I decided to tell Celtic about my encounter.
After a good conversation, a Gallic Warship decloaked infront of us and opened fire at Celtic! The ship had tentacles and purple highlights all over, I decided to turn tail and run as I was sure I was next, then all of a sudden this... ship bid me farewell and retreated to god knows where. I hope Celtic's crew is okay.

Much Needed Process Changes


Recently, Leon has reintroduced the "Albatross"-Class transports into our research company. I do not know the reason why they were removed from the company to begin with, however this time the idea behind it is to serve as an assistant to the "Corvo"-Class fleet we have. With the help of another Starflier pilot by the name of William, we had successfully scanned three separate systems within Liberty. One in Colorado, above Denver. The next in New York, beside Baltimore and the last above Houston in Texas. All three scans had no issues and the process change to have a transport assist me helps a great deal in accomplishing this task faster. I may need to congratulate Leon on this change, it is for the better

The Texas Incident is now Off Limits


There was a communication from the Liberty Navy First Armada some time ago, requesting researchers to take part in surveys and analysis regarding The Texas Incident. Being buried in my own work, I accepted that I was late and could not participate in sharing knowledge and analysis data regarding the event. Preparing to head out with the team in the Arcturus, I met with two 46th fleet ships. One of which was the "Osiris"-Class designated the Akhetaten. Wanting to make sure I was safe and secure, the two Navy pilots refused to escort me to the epicenter of the incident, cautioning me not to go there myself. I instead asked for any other points of interest I could research and perform scans on, all the answers they gave did not fit within our operations.

I flew out to Bretonia, as our collective data suggests we have not taken part in any expeditions within that House.

Strange robotic lifeforms


Bonjour!

I would rate my first move outside of Gallic and former Gallic space as - unique! I have run into my first Sirians besides Starfliers. I couldn't understand them, they seemed to be automatons. [HIVE]<ANTECRON> and [HIVE]<TREACON>{D}. I am unsure that they were depressed or programmed badly, as when in Omicron Beta I followed them to a strange planet guarded by a powerful minefield. They seemed to study it carefully, and then out of nowhere just ended their robot existence by flying straight into the mines, both exploding in strange unison! Were they robotic lovers wishing for a poetic end? Was that simply a malfunction in their programming? Has their existence finished its cycle? Or were they simply trying to pass the mines to get to their home planet? We might never find out.



Bon vol, Pilotes.
