Just a small update from over here in Black Rise. The structure in Onnamon has vanished. The structure in Uchomida, however, remains.

There are a few software packages (free?) that are used in astrometry that takes hundreds of photo stills and stacks them to make a higher resolution, brighter, & more colorful picture of a star. Taking the info from each photo taken over time and adding it each successive layer.

This might be able to be used to "build" a clearer, more complete picture of the structure since it appears to have a shimmering effect on its surface in addition to the energy bolts dancing over its surface.

Just an idea.

What... the... Loki...

Circadian Sleepers just showed up without the structure in Andrub. Three cruisers... circling the station at the second planet.

They're not scanning, they're circling. Like a gate camp. I'm pursuing one under maximum tank in my ship, in case they open fire. If they do, I'm getting out. Wait, no... they just warped out. They didn't scan once. They were waiting. On what?

Experiment Proposal:

Purpose: To determine a connection to the tower and the Circadian Sleepers.

Equipment Used: A starship fit for high-damage. Circadian Sleepers, One semi-cloaked indentified Structure.
Suggest a system with few planets, a dead end system as well.

Step 1. Kill all the Circadian Sleepers in a system.

Step 2. Keep a team of indivduals stationed at both the gates, the unidentified structure, belts, stations, or asteroids and a star. The fewer celestial objects, the better. Wormhole entryways should also be closely monitored. Suggest shifts to prevent boredom and lapse of attention.

Step 3. Team at unidentified structure will scan for changes. Hunter teams will keep system free of Circadian Seekers.

Step 4: Observe results over a 24 hour period.

Fundimental Questions:

1. Are the two interdependant or even related?

2. What happens when the seekers influence is removed?

3. How are the seekers entering system? Are they warping in, entering system via wormholes, undocking from the towers, or just using the gate network in new and creative ways?

The object in Onnamon has now re-appeared about 297km off the Academy station at Planet I.

BRCE: Mission Statement!

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. I just got the same kind of chill as seeing a Titan or supercarrier jump in on my barge. These things are MOVING? And moving onto grid?

....You people keep going in circles over this ****. Everyone knows they show up without the structures. Everyone knows (or should) they arent related, nor are they magically related to wormholes. We SHOULD be tracking the structures' movements. But hey, no one listens to me. So let the **** show continue.

As for structure movements, the one in Weraroix disappeared yesterday without a trace. No structure, no dust cloud.
I had it bookmarked just for that case, so when it went away, I got into an intie and was flying around the bookmark hoping to bump into something. Nothing within 50km.

Today it reappeared exactly at the same spot it was before.

Just had confirmation that they DO act oddly when in the presence of isogen-rich ores. Someone in Amatten was scanned several times while mining plagioclase, and then the seeker that scanned the ship promptly beamed information into deep space towards the structure, after which both the seekers and the structure vanished.

Interesting.
I've tried just isogen in cargo hold, and that didn't do nuthin'. Will try some ore.

EDIT: Wait, but plag shouldn't have iso in itUgh

Did it vanish overnight, though? It isn't an immediate reaction, apparently.

I don't see it beaming anything into deep space...

Should not be related.
I was monitoring 2 structures. Both vanished roughy at the same time (not sure exactly, but I found out the same day), and I believe only one I was feeding iso.

EDIT: I also danced around the Aeter one with iso in cargo yesterday and was scanned by seekers. It's still there.

Last few images. The scan beam is directed into empty space, suggesting it's been set to transmit.

............................................

Send this to the mailing list ASAP. If this is occuring in other systems, we need to know which, what ore's they scanned, if it happened near our celestial bodies, and the most important..possibly most important part....class of stars.

EDIT: That could either be a transmission given that its sphere is out in space...or it's scanning something cloaked. It ALMOST looks like it's scanning something cloaked.

Sooo.
I took a venture and mined some omber (contains isogen) and plag (may contain nuts... Errr... doesn't contain isogen).
Then I warped to the structure and waited for the seekers (by the way, the ship computer was very insistent that the structure is, in fact, not an asteroid).
After several minutes of an empty survey scanner and stubborn mining lasers the seekers showed up.

Sooo...
Apparently, a seeker can scan at least 2 targets at the same time.
Apparently, they have no special interest in the ores.
Apparently, seekers aren't roids either.

No ****. We need to know how they ACT near roids. Cause so far, they've only done their little scan empty space thing in belts.

Okay, I followed a group of seekers around till they landed in a belt.
Well, they just scanned roids without any seeming preference. Nothing else.

No random scanning into space?

Nope. Only roids. Some of them were small so it could seem like they were scanning in random direction if you look from afar, but nonetheless there were roids, and no scanning empty space.

EDIT: apparently not interested in sleeper cache loot either.
