Two Drifter Battleships and four Circadian Seekers are now present in Eram; There are no Structures or Wormholes present in the system.

Seeing Tukoss's alert, this seems important: remain vigilant.

UPDATE:

A Pilot has attacked them and then proceeded to fly to site one.

The circadians and drifters followed her there, destroyed her ship, and returned to the Elgoi gate, where they remain now.

They are watching the gate.

This is an intriguing development. It seems like the Drifters are starting to take offensive positions.. Question is where is the Republic Security Forces or the Republic Navy?

Elsewhere probably. RSS pretty much does what they feel like doing and never tells anyone about it. Republic Navy does not exist. Do you mean the Republic Fleet?

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

Fascinating, and also worrisome.

Mr. Anteovnucci, were you following the discussions at the Yulai symposium? If so, what were your thoughts? And if it comes to it, would you fire on the Tyrannos?

I've been at the symposium these past few days, so I'll be returning to site one within the next 24h or so.

Are those drifters still on the gate?

Though I could not attend the Symposium itself, reports of what was shown have led me to an opinion; even in the SCOPE broadcast on the event, we see the Circadians seemingly extracting something from the damaged structures, now revealed to be "Jove Observatories". If they are in opposition to the Jove and are on the side of the Tyrannos, I have more reason than ever to be suspicious and attempt to stop them. However, my corporation wishes to be wary and not engage them until we know for certain that they are not somehow allied with the Jovian Directorate, which we clam loyalty to.

Additionally, we see the Circadians abducting a corpse in the broadcast; if they are taking bodies from us, perhaps they are doing the same thing with Jovian bodies and modifying them- this is a long shot, but they wouldn't be taking bodies without a very good reason to do so.

To answer; I personally believe the Tyrannos to be in opposition to the Jovian Directorate, providing more than enough reason to want to stop their advance.

No drifters or seekers spotted in Eram 14:00 to 15:00.

Returning to home port.

Would be worthwhile to keep eyes on any wormholes that pop up near there.

I may move to Eram later today

Drifter Battleships were spotted in Eram previously. Particularly after the last message from Dr. Tukoss. It was noted that they no longer visit Site One after his message.

They (when in Eram) seem to pay particular attention to Vullat system gate. This holo was taken on 2nd of March. This is quite interesting, as one of our cultural references was set up in Eystur. And, most importantly, there were three unID Wormholes in Eystur. One of them is online right now (Picture 1 and Picture 2).

Oh, and look at this. What could this possibly mean?

This is worrying ...

As the presence of unknown objects continues to grow, with no attempt to make contact with us, I am becoming more and more sure that there is something cataclysmic about to happen.

And as a Sebiestor, I will be returning to my home space to prepare for it's defence.

I do wonder whether we are simply being swept up into a war between two much more powerful peoples. I for one will endeavour to fight for the Jove ... if it comes to that!

If it's a war between the Jove and the Sleepers I say we let it play out and tell the victor to take his toys with him when they are done. We have enough problems without ancheint races fighting over God knows what. If the don't leave I say we make them leave.

Darkness is more then absence of light, it is ignorance and corruption. I will be the Bulwark from such things that you may live in the light. Pray so my arms do not grow weary and my footing remain sure.

If you are brave, join me in the dark.

There may be sibling rivalry within whichever numeral of Jovian Empire we are currently on, but it is not as straightforward as a war between Sleepers and Jove. The "Circadian" Sleepers act in concert with Drifter ships. The pylons anchoring unidentified wormholes are of Sleeper origin, and Drifter battleships will defend them.
