Intergalactic Summit

An update, pilots.

As part of our increased focus on the Nexus anomaly and its attendant structures, ARC pilots initiated sequence transfers in all Hives simultaneously this evening at approximately 0215 hours. Interestingly, an Artemis Tyrannos clone did not engage Coordinator Lagann as she initiated a transfer with the repository in Sentinel Hive, which is suggestive.

We will continue to monitor the anomalies to see if this results in any change, and will be attempting other means of experimenting with the anomaly and its attendant structures.

Interested researchers are advised to contact Director of Analytics Jaret Victorian as we redouble our research efforts.

You're just jealous that they like me more than you.

Edit: More seriously - I was engaged by one Apollo Tyrannos that happened to be patrolling the 'Split' room of the Sentinel complex as I entered with the Vengeful Seraph. I destroyed the vessel, engaged in quick salvage operations, and then proceeded directly to the Nexus, ignoring the two Circadian Seekers and the handful of Emergent Patrollers that were also present. Once inside the Nexus, I was greeted by two more Circadian Seekers, who engaged me as I landed.

I also ignored those two, and after a brief pause to refit my vessel, began moving toward the Repository beacon within the Nexus. After I arrived and set up nearby to wait for the situation to clear in the other Hives (Alizabeth, in Redoubt, had company and was not clear to engage safely), Artemis Tyrannos entered the Nexus but did not engage. I had deployed drones to engage the Circadian Seekers that had followed me to the Repository, and recalled them to avoid them catching Artemis' interest. Judging by overview telemetry, she had not taken any interest in them to begin with, nor did she take any in my vessel, which was in plain sight and actively engaged with two Seekers.

Once the situation cleared in the other Hives, we accessed the Repositories and input the appropriate sequences together.

No effects were immediately noticeable, but it is possible it is not an instantaneous result, if there is one at all. In my case, Artemis' behavior did not change when I input the sequences in full view of her, and she did not attempt to interdict me as I departed the Hive.

That Artemis failed to engage Lagann's ship while in a Hive system in proximity to the Nexus repository itself is quite suggestive.

I think it would be fair to assume at this point that the Drifters themselves have enabled the easy access to the Nexus and its associated sequences, by disabling gate locks and providing transit points to the Nexus.

Contact through an official channel is always the most appropriate way to do things; I've sent a message and look forward to working closely with you and the others again, should you desire any contributions I may provide, Director.

"(Insert deity name here)! Not her again! Screw it! If she doesn't yellowbox me in the next one minute, I'm going to pretend I didn't see her!"

A little bit of history:

We first discovered the Nexus anomaly last November, in a previously abandoned part of the deadspace complex with no easy access. It was then in the configuration we called the 'Space Urchin,' as noted above.

Very soon after, we discovered that the structure had, uh, spontaneously disassembled into the S-shape, which we assume is a product of interaction between the structure and the anomaly around it.

One important question we have is whether the structure existed some time ago but was cloaked, whether it's a new construction, or whether it was relocated in some fashion, possibly via a massive wormhole or spatial rift.

Please note here the initial discovery release, and here the discoveries of this March.

Good evening, pilots.

October the 3rd was a very eventful day for the members of NAG as the first conference meeting was held over the galnet.

Several topics of interest were discussed - such as the framework, the planned roadmap and the project's objectives.

Nevyn Kumamato took the lead discussing the massive Device (or what is left of it) located in the middle of the area and potential scenarios of its collapse. Particular interest was taken in the lightnings that are present throughout the debris field - it was decided to map the discharges to see if there is a discernable pattern.

Makoto Priano introduced our specialists to the samples of boosters which we were able to retrieve from Hives during the operations.

While the work is already underway, we are still on the lookout for more scientists. As the saying goes - "one head is good but two are better". The more opinions we amass the better the result will be. Interested parties are welcome to message me, Jaret Victorian, via evemail service.

In the other news, we will be hosting the first Talk session on "Arataka Communications Router" this Friday, October the 7th, at 21:00 NEST with the topic of "NAG - Q&A and General Discussion". Everyone is invited!

Turelus, there's never a finer opportunity to become involved. While some discoveries have been made while you're away, we are by no means near done unraveling their implications for New Eden, nor even what they necessarily mean in the broad strokes.
