What do we think about the title of the message? Could provide appropriate context for interpreting the rest of it.

"WA-RN- SITE ONE"

Or perhaps:

"WA-TCH- SITE ONE"

Confirmed.


I'm doing a sweep of a sweep of Eram, but except for "Doctor Borkstar," I'm not finding anything.


Not yet.

Remember: Eram 5-2 was AJ's home before Site One was built.

Someone please test the acceleration gate.

I have not visited Site One. If there is an acceleration gate, that might be the translation of this portion:

The gate still registers on my sensors as a Large Collidable Object called "Under Construction" and approaching it triggers a message that it's closed for public use.

It doesn't work.

Huh. Guess that's why they wanted those Jovian bits.

Is the collection bin where the Jovian Parts were deposited still in Site One?

I think biochemical should be biomechanical. That is how I read it at first (though I do not argue that it could be read that way), and would fit the Drifters and/or Sleepers better imo.

edit: Title: WATCH SITE ONE! seems legit. I have attempted a reconstruction of the corrupted message body. I hope this helps.

Quick note. Any place with square brackets are something I had to add. I used this very sparingly and only in places is was absolutely obvious and required to replace data that was clearly lost or corrupted. Ex: the only word in my language that starts with "estro" is "estrogen" and its various forms. From context Dr Tukoss clearly was not discussing female sex hormones. So I made the obvious choice and added a "d". Added a comma for correct grammar. Added the possibility of the negative case when it was not clear. And removed an extra blank space at the end of the first paragraph.

Analysis: Dr Tukoss has escaped in a Sleeper ship of some kind and is making his way to Eram Site One. He should arrive in the next couple of weeks. We will be able to identify his ship. It may be classified as a Heavy Interdiction Cruiser (HIC). He should be outfitted for an EVA, (Extra-Vehicular Activity).

Also, The Sleeper has Awakened!

If, given the authenticity of the transmission:

...suggests that both:

Contingent upon the accurate decryption if the original transmission, the cascading interplay of variables, not the least of which is the authenticity of the transmission itself, lends itself to deep speculation. A fascinating exercise.

I should point out here that it was noted by members of Arek'Jaalan that C-Seekers no longer warp to S1. For 5 days now, approximately.

We're looking at a possibly tragic misunderstanding, either way.

If he's coming, maybe he'll have a month to paint, "It's me! Don't shoot!" on the hull in large-enough letters.

... assuming he's found a large cache of fullerene-friendly paint.

If history truly repeats itself and this goes anything like the first request we received from "Tukoss" then I see this ending in nothing but more misery.

Here's hoping for some sense in people this time.

That's another aspect at play here: How do we know this is the real Tukoss and not another imposter? How do we know any of these messages came from the "real" Tukoss?

We don't.

Even if we recover the physical man, we may never know whether it is the "real" Tukoss we have.

Then again, we might expect an impostor to be able to provide clearer directions. The question in that scenario would probably be not, "What is he trying to say?" but, "Should we listen?"
