Good Afternoon, Capsuleers.

I thank you for your

warm reception since my last contact.

I’m happy to inform you all that a resource drop has been successfully set up in Site One, in order to accept the

previously mentioned materials.

I have watched with admiration as you have taken to Anoikis, with particular interest paid to colonization of

Once initial work has been completed, I can return full time to assisting in curating the project that you have so generously contributed over the past four years.

Your contributions to the project so far have

Oh, and for the benefit of anyone else who might be reading...

This inspires all kinds of confidence.

No wait... that's not it.

Hang on, I got this...

... distrust? Yeah, that was it.

This inspires all kinds of distrust and suspicion. I'd be very interested in seeing psych evaluations from the eggers that actually deliver incredibly rare and expensive artifacts as those in question to this guy, because that'd take an incredibly non-standard mentality compared to your average capsuleer.

Okay, followup, I've done some digging, and it seems there is no record of any systems with the designations 31000000-31000006, the IDs begin at 31000007 with known systems in Anoikis. We're missing six systems, and not only that, but it seems our friend Hilen here knows about them.

I don't like that second layer of digital data in his messages. Screams of rogue AI infestation.

It is glad to hear from you again Dr. Tukoss.

As for the requested items, the items have already been collected and are safely kept at a station within Eram system.

Once we get the approval from the greater community at the Arek'Jaalan Project, the collected items will be transferred to the specified resource drop.

In the meantime, we would be grateful if you would be kind enough to let us know as to the purpose of requesting these items.

Secretive wormhole scientists aren't typically known for cordially welcoming us into their luxury apartments at1620, the 341 block, 7th district, Futikuuna City, Malkalen V with a glass of cognac in hand and the offer to enjoy the fine sunset views over the bay.

Yeah...

This does not sound like any human being. This is a machine. It talks like that other drone unit that sometimes appears. Unit-whatever.

I think whoever Tukoss may have once been, he isn't anymore.

And since it is looking for body parts... and since there has been a change in sleeper behavior according to recent research... I get the feeling that the sleepers are trying to impersonate human beings.


Don't give it anything. Don't trust it.

Whatever they were they are machines now and this thing is talking like a machine. Whatever it wants can't be good.

We would note that pilot Tukoss' vocal and literary patterns appear to have developed major differences since our last encounter.
Investigation underway.

Maybe he found the Helios pilots

We Return.
