It has taken us some time but it has finally been found. By monitoring the more unusual traffic in the Omicron Delta system, we have found the jump hole to the elusive 'Omicron Pi'.

Visual Data

Recent conflict in New Moscow's sector denied the opportunity to bring heavier equipment. With the anticipation and urgency of our cause, I decided to take an initial delve in my Insurgent.

What greeted me was a system of stark beauty. The contrast of the intense White Giant at, presumably the centre, to the darkness of space beyond. There were no stars, no nebula, no stellar landmarks by which I could determine a relative location. Omicron Pi appears to be a truly isolated system.

Lacking in the proper equipment or shielding for the delve to last long, I headed for the nearest plantary body. Comrades, you will not have seen such a beautiful sphere of purples, blues and whites. I have uploaded a recording. It makes for a poor fascimile, but it shall have to suffice.

Visual Data

Detecting a break in the storms of the planetary body, I was surprised to find that there appeared to be an entry point through the outer storms into a calmer atmosphere. Forgive my rashness, comrades, but I dove in for a look.

Bear witness to what was found.

Visual Data

Through the radiation distortion. Do you see it? Tovaryshi, we must prepare a survey operation as soon as possible. It was impossible for me to gather any detailed data on the object. Needless to say, it was particularly large. Notice the protrusions from it's centre? The regularity of the curvature? It is clearly an manufactured object of some kind, and not one of human origin.

Visual Data

It is imperative under the Commune's operational directive that we ascertain the origin, nature and purpose of this object to the fullest extent. We must determine whether it should be considered a threat to humanity, and the Coalition. We must learn all that we can for the betterment of the People.

Whilst I was preparing to leave and return home, an intriguing craft approached. Transmitting the ident 'Unit-9467F', it claimed to be intercepting me and proceeded to threaten me with termination lest I assist it in some manner. On scanning the vessel and parsing the manner in which it communicated, it became clear the vessel was some kind of artifical unit. It reminds me of the occassional artificial-intelligence unit detected in other Omicron sectors. What was strikingly different was how... territorial it behaved, especially in its demand to not enter a designated area of the system.

[28.12.2023 23:06:49] C47|Pimakhova: "The North sector? May you provide me a grid numerical for that borderline?"
[28.12.2023 23:09:31] EC]-Unit-9467F:: [::: You are limited the south sector - The limit is ''Alpha - Six to H - Six :::]
[28.12.2023 23:09:56] C47|Pimakhova: "Understood. Thank you for your understanding, Unit 9467F. I wish you a safe future."

Most intriguing. There clearly is something important to this unit entity there, something it does not wish for us to learn about. Tovaryshi, when the council next convenes I propose we discuss the addition of artifical intelligence units to our mandate. Behind what we may have written off as a benign collection of constructs may lay something malignant. I hope that it is not, yet we best keep our vigilance.
