Salutations. This is Pathfinder-1, Dante Flintlocke, reporting.

I apologize in advance for the duplicate reports. As a Pathfinder, I feel that this is something that needs to be reported ASAP.

After upgrading my star-chart of Copernicus and heading through Liberty, I decided I would take an alternate path and instead head through Ontario as my charts of that system are critically outdated as well. I will have a more comprehensive report on your desk as soon as I have compiled a detailed report of the systems. However, during my chart of the Ontario system, a planet at Bravo-2 in the system--Planet Sudbury from internal records--was exhibiting unusual readings. At first, I believed it to be a malfunction in my sensor array as it was just configured. However, preliminary scans of the planet point to a hyperspatial signal coming from the surface of the planet or just under it's crust.

Attached you will find an image from orbit of the planet. However, due to there being a number of large wrecked ships in orbit, this lead me to believe that this signal may be hazardous to human craft or that they were attacked en-route to investigate the same signals as myself. I departed the area after taking my passive scans and images and departed the system via the California route. On the way to our exit, we took a lap around Fort Ramsay under a stealth field and noted that a jump hole to Inverness appears to have opened coinciding with whatever it is on the planet becoming active. I may not be an egghead scientist like the rest of you, but the coincidence is a little on the nose here.

Attached you will find images of items of interest in Copernicus with their coordinates attached. I recommend we deploy survey vessels to these locations--pending security review--for further study and analysis.

Flintlocke out.

ADDITION: On our exit from Ontario, our scanners picked up what appeared to be a Vagrant signature. The system may already be attracting an alien element.

Why are you reading this? Don't you have something else you'd rather be doing? Why are you still reading this? Go out and explore, trade, fight, pirate, or even die thanks to SLRC autopilot. You're still here? What do you want, a poem? Fine. Roses are red, violets are blue, I lose the game, and so did you.
