Intergalactic Summit

I say shoot it and see what happens... for science.

These Circadian Sleepers seem to have a very simple program - scan anything in range. They have scanned the warp-in beacon of the unidentified structure, my ship, my Sister probes, trade ships at a station, asteroids and various cargo cans I dropped with different items. Nothing triggered any reaction. So far.

You know. I've seen a lot of sleepers and a lot of sites. And one thing I can't help but realize, is the possibility that these cloaked structures were around the entire time. And these unarmed sleepers are here to do something about them, fix them or whatever, and are as geared for combat as a repair drone.

From our perspective these structures just appeared, but like that strange star, the light of which defies physics, what "appears" is not necessarily obedient to the concept of "where" and for how long.

If this is a network, then there is a pattern.

The bloody things are in Stain, as well. I've seen two of them out here. Very ominous feel about them...

I don't like it. Not one bit.

nothing shot back?

I was in Stoure in the Solitude region on business, and as I approached the Stoure IX - Moon 1 - Poteque Pharmaceuticals Biotech Research Center station I witnessed something rather disturbing - the Sleeper drones had come right up to the station and were doing... scanning? Well, whatever it is that these Circadians do to things. There were both CONCORD and local Federal police units orbiting the station as well, but they didn't seem to know quite how to deal with the situation. The station's harbour control was functioning as normal, trade ships were arriving and leaving as normal and nothing seemed to be wrong. But the Sleepers were still scanning the station when I left.

Reporting another sighting of an Unidentified Structure, this time in Nakri, Zemont. 295,000km from Nakri I. Sleepers jumped in minutes after I arrived to investigate.

As odd as this may sound, I find it worrisome that a normally hostile entity is not shooting back...

I'll put aside my regular trash talk in light of something I've just learned. How many days have you watched it?

I ask because Scope Works has received reports of these structures appearing and disappearing within a few days. Max range of movement was two systems. As of yet they have not appeared in the same system twice. Note this is NOT for every structure, but a few have been confirmed to move. Specifically, the one in question moved from Hjoramold to Nakugard.

If they ALL do this, we may want to look at two things.

1. Pattern of motion relative to the cluster. Might they be moving toward a central point?
2. Movement toward suspect celestial bodies discussed elsewhere, namely A0 Type stars

If EITHER of these are the case, we have a lot bigger things to worry about than the next Presidential election or some silly Empire proxy war.

If these things do show one of the above patterns, perhaps the Circadian variants should be immediately considered a threat, and shoot on sight. Scope Works is currently spread across two regions of space and will monitor the numerous structures around both stations we currently stay at and report back if we find anything.

In the meantime, I suggest you all treat those new Sleepers with extreme caution.

EDIT: We've confirmation that structures reappeared in both Hjoramold AND Nakugard.

This is why we're friends.
