Pilots;
Agents of Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries and associated explorers have penetrated a new J-sig system through a Sleeper/Drifter-stabilized wormhole. The system, J174618, is dominated by a beacon identified as a 'Redoubt,' which we successfully infiltrated. Camera drone footage is included from General Stargazer, Haria Haritimado, Xindi Kraid, Jaret Victorian, and Lucas Raholan. The linked images were collected over the course of a long-duration mission and illustrate various unknown structures and structure configurations.
The foremost of these is an as-yet-unidentified structure known as a 'Redoubt Hive,' guarded by an as-yet-unseen Drifter identified as a 'Hikanta Tyrannos.' There is an associated 'Redoubt Vault,' which we were unable to penetrate. Pilot Haritimado reports that the vault required that it have an object placed into it to access the vault; we suspect that this is an access key possessed by the Drifters or Sleepers in this facility. Pilots Stargazer, Victorian, Raholan, and McGhee engaged the Tyrannos directly, but were unable to destroy the vessel despite spirited efforts.
Pilots will notice the appearance of the corpse of Hilen Tukoss. We regret to report that we were unable to retrieve his corpse for autopsy or investigation. Given the appearance of the wreckage and gas, we can only assume this structure is the one at which Tukoss's Buzzard was destroyed. We have no theory as to why his medclone failed to activate, or whether he could possibly have his mindstate captured by the Vigilant Tyrannos via an as-yet-unknown method of interdiction.
IKAME is dedicated to further investigation of this facility, and will be making another effort in coming days. We will provide more information as we attempt a second penetration of the primary system facility.
My thanks to the pilots who have contributed to this point, alphabetically listed: General Stargazer Haria Haritimado Jaret Victorian Lucas Raholan Luis Norelius Maxemillian Caldera Sebastian Melmoth Vaporizer McGhee Xindi Kraid

While I'm saddened by his loss, I'm glad we have some bit of closure on the Doctor.
Thank you for your efforts in probing these new systems. I look forward to further discoveries and research.

Many thanks for putting forth the effort and guts to take on the questions a lot of us had. Tukoss' loss is... very regrettable. Hopefully, though, the information you've gleamed and that further capsuleers will find will honor his loss. |

Ms. Priano did point out the fact that Dr. Tukoss' med clone failed to activate, apparently.
So, I made a decision to self destruct my capsule right near his body... In retrospect this was kind of ********, but... My medclonde did activate.
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

I can only start by commending Makoto for her excellent expedition leadership as well as all other fleet members for their dedication to our efforts that, with god blessing will bring better understand on what we face. The experience of being involved in such a expedition that will help spread light on this currently unknown entity called the Drifter forces of which are currently posing a very real, and very urgent threat to our entire cluster.
The discovery of Dr Tukoss's remains throws greater shadow over this upcoming storm we face.
May god protect us all when it comes

It is unfortunate that I was unable to attend the exploratory group; I am very interested to see the outcome and consequences of us having found the Hives and Dr. Tukoss.
I'll be closely following this, and I hope to involve myself more deeply.
"Great Work!" to all involved.

Before anyone goes into maximum-panic mode, I would like remind everyone here that Hillen Tukoss explicitly confirmed he utilized backup clones to handle situations where he might be killed and the neural burner-capsule-clone system be unavailable or nonfunctional.
It's more likely that a backup has not triggered since his death was not confirmed, to avoid CONCORD retaliation associated with multiple active clone usage. Hopefully the efforts of these brave pilots will result in a confirmation of either his death or survival, one way or another. |

Having been a subject of CONCORD's hesitation to double-activate a clone, this makes perfect sense.
Given their recent behavior, it is also likely that they don't want to re-activate his clone.

That's a brave - if foolish - thing you did, pilot Victorian. You've spared me the effort and risk of performing that same experiment.
Dr. Tukoss' sacrifice should serve as a reminder to all of us - both of the dangers inherent in pushing the boundaries of science, and the imperative to do just that. His memory is honored.

It's possible that his body was to badly damaged by the engagement to be suitable for harvesting... or they thought he would make a good proverbial "head on a spike" to ward off unwanted visitors. Or both.

I am currently broadcasing from J055520, the system containing the Sentinel complex. You can find images here.
Finding Tukoss' body at least gives us some closure. I've found exactly the same thing at this Sentinel complex, albeit slightly renamed to a "Sentinel Hive" and a "Sentinel Vault", I couldn't penetrate the defensive systems, and several Drifters did try to kill me, but I did escape intact.
I'm glad we're all working together here.
Thanks for the assistance: Rob Kaichin, and Monkey 13th.

Could you confirm how many jumps the explorers had to take b4 for making to J174618 from the U-Knw entrance ?
Was there any sight of the massive drifter force covered in Hilen's footage ?
The loss of Hilen Tukoss is sad new. Hopefully we will avenge his loss against this superior and mysterious drifter force.
There are more mysteries to these unidentified wormholes now that capsuleer's can enter it.
-How are they connected ?
-Do all unidentified wormholes in new eden have access to the same cluster of wormholes ? Is this how the "caroline star" anomaly was visible all over new eden ?
-Could the sansha have knowledge of these wormholes before they had appeared to the capsuleers ?
-was Thera part of this cluster and actually got severed from the cluster due to the supernova ?
-By reverse engineering drifter technology we can now influence structures using the entosis module . We merely have stolen this technology, what if the owners of this technology start influencing our structures and use it for their own mass production? They seem to attack capsuleers with the entosis technology already .
I hope DED/SOE have some reassuring news.

Hmmm, they didn't take the Jove bodies? Either they would bring the Jove disease with them or they simply don't want them. The classification of one of the structures as a Hive concerns me. Is this coincidence or is it possible we are dealing with some as yet unknown form of sentient drones? Either way we still do not know if the Drifters are hostile towards us or not as yet. |

Given that all Sleeper and Drifter forces violently engaged us upon the moment we arrived I feel that attempting communication would have proved a waste of time and resources

How very dare they. Shooting at people popping up in their armed camp. Anyone would think they felt threatened. Next time stay cloaked and try hailing them perhaps? |

You know, we did try to communicate with them when they showed up in our space, multiple times. Ended up shooting each other, so I guess they don't want to talk to us.
Mr. Wessette,
Was there any sight of the massive drifter force covered in Hilen's footage ?
No, not near the Hive, and not in the system. I can note, though, that Sleeper Drones, Circadian Seekers and Drifters were working together, guarding the complexes.
-How are they connected?
The system had some wormhole connections. Some of them were to k-space, some - to Anoikis. C2 connection, if I remember correct.
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

We go in their space and people say it's okay for them to shoot us. But when they come in our space, people demand that we don't shoot them. No matter what, apparently we are always the aggressors and the drifters are always the victims.
Whose side are you on?

They have never yet fired upon me when I've gone past them numerous times at several gates. In open space they have been completely neutral towards me and therefore I have no reason to assume they are aggressive as yet. However should a group of 'explorers' turn up at a station of mine and begin poking around without permission I'd take a pretty dim view of it...
I have taken no side yet as I have yet to determine the intentions of the Drifters. Should they prove dangerous to innocent civilians of the Empires then I will act against them. Until then I stock up in case. |
