Something disturbing I noticed today while observing the Jovian structure in Eystur.

A capsule was destroyed, and a Circadian Seeker seemed to retrieve the body. I was not completely sure at first, so when a second capsuleer destroyed his own capsule to recreate the event, I recorded everything in detail.


Corpse Collection

This new behaviour is extremely unsettling, and raises many questions about what they may have in store for us.

The Circadian's behavior was very deliberate. All of the Circadians which warped in on that cycle passed overhead and travelled to wrecks near the structure (some of them their own, as created by one M. Barrel Roll and clouds of drones). Initially, the Circadians appeared to have no particular interest in one more body. However, this one turned around and drifted (ah ha ha) back to collect his prize even after all of his companions departed. The Circadians come into physical contact with the corpses, not trusting the task to the beams they use on the Jovian structures.

Confirming that this is the case. Went and hunted some of them down in the Odilis constellation and discovered an Unidentified Wormhole with sleeper structures outside of it.

There was a lone seeker, so I decided to engage it - few more waves came in before I was over-powered. They're quite... vengeful. Followed me to the station and are currently waiting outside for me to undock.

Here's what I found in the cargo:
