Mouse Nell Gallente	Posted - 2010.07.19 02:20:00 - [1] (a recording of the shipwide broadcast made by Science Officer Mouse Nell) Ladies and gentlemen, we have orders from the top. Operation Flypaper is being handed off to another capable pilot. We're still operating at marginal restraint on comms about the details of that particular operation, but it's out of our hands now. Command seems to think that our particular talents are better suited for another line of work entirely, especially after the images we pulled a month ago. The operation we're being assigned to spearhead has... well, little secrecy involved because its an all or nothing longshot. One in a million, but odds I'd still place good ISK on. Operation Farseeker is a go. Command has reevaluated my "hairbrained and ludicous" theories and deemed them plausible. Probe data featuring a Nation armada tends to motivate them to get off their brass. This is a long term operation, weeks, possibly months, so we've refitted the fabbers to take fullerites as input so we won't be starving anytime soon. Anyone who wants off this boat is welcome to leave, no questions asked. If we make it back, you'll be welcome to rejoin, but I want noone on this boat who isn't 100% ready for this. Enough softfooting around though, the plan. The plan is simple. Using the sigint data we've acquired, as well as some documentation from CONCORD, namely the ISHAEKA reports, we're going to do the impossible. Ladies and gentlemen... We're heading to Jovian space. We're not the only ones, but theres a fat bonus to our paychecks if we're the first to make it there. You'll have some time to disembark if you want to leave, we need to get some supplies first. But once we're geared up, helm will take us on a random walk through w-space. We're looking for a specific locus, J235456. The belief is it may be a bridge to somewhere in Jovian space, assuming its not just a red herring of course. Either way, make preparations. Its going to be a long night. Mouse, out. I will science you right in the face.
Syekuda State Protectorate	Posted - 2010.07.19 02:32:00 - [2] And you wouldn't happen to have the exact location of where that wormhole links too right ? I want that fat paycheck -------------------------------------------------- Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. ISAAC ASIMOV
Victoria Stecker Amarr	Posted - 2010.07.19 03:19:00 - [3] Umm... isn't that the system that everyone thought was important at the beginning of the Nation invasions, and went on a wild hunt to find? And then when it was found, all that was there was a random buncha miners who hadn't heard anything about the Nation attacks because they'd been in W-space for so long? People camped out there waiting for a Sansha fleet to fly through to or from an attack... and nothing ever happened. Or maybe it was some other J##### wormhole, but the number looks familiar. Either way, have fun, don't die, all that jazz. - In the embrace of Hell, I am no longer afraid, for with His damned embrace, I have become that which I once most feared: Death.
Ikarus Gaul Gallente Eiffel Initiatives	Posted - 2010.07.19 03:20:00 - [4] I applaud your initiative. A longshot it might be, but access to that locus could change the strategic possibilities in combatting the threat posed by the Nation immensely. I wish you good hunting and a strong, if metaphorical, wind at your back. Drones are like puppies... disobedient and just as hard to housebreak.

Yeah, Vicky, that's the hole alright, good luck Mouse, but there weren't anythin there the first time we found it, I dinna think they'rll be anything there now. Life isn't about Waiting for the storm to pass. It's about standing in the rain.
khazak mokl Black Viper Nomads	Posted - 2010.07.19 13:46:00 - [6] Edited by: khazak mokl on 19/07/2010 13:55:55 we have been doing the same thing now for 2 days from a staging area. so far no luck but there are over 500 c5s so i am not holding my breath for immediate results
Borza Slavak Minmatar Mirkur Draug'Tyr Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2010.07.19 14:29:00 - [7] A laudable venture. Let's hope it succeeds. Stecker, J235456 was located and investigated previously but it was only a cursory search. Due to the nature of wormhole mechanics if that locus does have access to Jovian space as one possible outbound exit from the cycle of its permanent wormhole then long-term exploration would be required. Unless one was very lucky.
Ivvor	Posted - 2010.07.19 14:34:00 - [8] Personally I'd be more interested in knowing what can be found in the following three unusual systems: J1340+6, J1259+0 and J1226-0 A glitch in a locus signature detector, or something else entirely perhaps?

Been in 2 of the above systems recently and had no joy. nothing unusual that we saw but maybe we missed stufz. Just seems weird why they have a unusual locust unless its to seperate them from the rest in some way that isnt yet apparent.
Julianus Soter Gallente Moira. Rote Kapelle	Posted - 2010.07.19 22:09:00 - [10] Ms. Nell, the J235456 was discovered over a month ago after a long and arduous effort to contact various w-space exploration groups, and our own independent investigations. I personally entered the system, along with Ms. Alterana, Morwen Lagann, and several others. We made an extensive sweep of the system, and there was little there but some Sleeper facilities, abandoned stations, and an active capsuleer exploration detatchment, who, as Ms. Alterana states, had no idea that the Sansha had been in the system at all. What is it that you intend to find? I'm curious.
Saikoyu Amarr Rho Dynamics	Posted - 2010.07.19 22:51:00 - [11] Ms. Nell, I wish you luck with your search, if you are still going though with it. Also, if you are, I would direct you here if you are interested in earning some amount of isk during your journey. It might not be the bonus you refer to if you find Jovian space, but it is something. Please contact me if you have questions. Rho Dynamics recruitment
Herzog Wolfhammer Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2010.07.20 00:45:00 - [12] My exploration vessel, Remnant, is waiting for launch. You have my probe launcher.
Razor Blue VR Corp	Posted - 2010.07.20 01:42:00 - [13] ...And my railguns.
Sylorin Caldari MMZ Laboratories LLC	Posted - 2010.07.20 06:54:00 - [14] System J104517 was explored earlier today by our ships. There was a very large Sleeper population spread out over about twenty different locations, but we found nothing else that could assist your search. Drop us a line if we can be of any further assistance. *The opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the opinions of MMZ Labs, LLC
Herzog Wolfhammer Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2010.07.20 07:40:00 - [15] This is going to be an easy one. Anyone who goes into WH space needs to know about this mission. Report all findings. Period. The question I have is, is this going to take an expanded probe launcher? Are we strictly looking for Worm Holes or are the Sansha assets actually scannable? I have heard they created dead spaces where they jumped, but don't recall whether it was their worm hole or their ships that were probed. An expanded launcher is a heavy load on a ships main computer system, and needs augmentation.
Borza Slavak Minmatar Mirkur Draug'Tyr Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2010.07.20 10:27:00 - [16] Originally by: Julianus Soter Ms. Nell, the J235456 was discovered over a month ago after a long and arduous effort to contact various w-space exploration groups, and our own independent investigations.

What is it that you intend to find? I'm curious. 'Static' wormhole exits from w-space tend to link to other w-space and k-space systems from a set pool. It is hypothesised by Ms. Nell and myself that one of the cycle of exits from the system in question could lead to Directorate space. This would be very difficult to ascertain without a long-term exploration of the J235456 system. It would have been highly unlikely for the previous fairly short search to give a result if this is the case. Yes, it's a long-shot, but worth checking.
Shpenat	Posted - 2010.07.20 11:19:00 - [17] I would like to join you on your mission yet I am recently bound to Gallente space by other duties. I will however instruct one of my offspring to join you as soon as I teach her to use scanner probes.
Nikilaiki Ruutarhara Caldari Project Daedalid	Posted - 2010.07.20 12:51:00 - [18] I would suggest not seeking a path into Jove space. You will not find it where you are looking, but if you stumble upon something I tell you now; it will not end favorably. This is not a threat. It is a warning.
Mouse Nell Gallente	Posted - 2010.07.20 12:59:00 - [19] Originally by: Borza Slavak Originally by: Julianus Soter Ms. Nell, the J235456 was discovered over a month ago after a long and arduous effort to contact various w-space exploration groups, and our own independent investigations.

It would have been highly unlikely for the previous fairly short search to give a result if this is the case. Yes, it's a long-shot, but worth checking. It is as Borza says, there is the idea that a static bridge could be formed. To answer the other questions, I am carrying an expanded launcher, just in case, and what I INTEND to do is spend the next month-ish in WH space trying to find Directorate territory, while someone in K-space figures out what really needs to be done to end the attacks. I fully expect to miss out on the full resolution of the Nation incursions. What I hope to do is the impossible, finding Directorate space. I'm no admiral, nor pirate or even really what most would call a "combat specialist". And we've hit the proverbial dead end, with combat being the main option of getting through this, one incursion at a time. Could be that any of the great ideas being slung around could work, find us a way to shut down the Nation threat. Could be I'm wasting my time chasing bad ideas or red herrings. But its better than nothing, and I'm full well tired of sitting around waiting for something to happen. Exploration is something I AM good at, and unless Nation can be defeated by superior production of exhumer-class ships, this seems like the best thing I can do to be useful. Its a long shot, yes. But its proactive, rather than reactive. And Anyone that wants to help, the help is more than welcome. If, as you say, there was a hapless mining corp camped in that system, perhaps you could forward me their info, so I could get guided in. That would make what comes after this all the easier. Or perhaps someone more technically inclined than the good admiral can examine the bits pulled from various wreckages to see if the data module and the data stream are perhaps... compatible. If I could be less vague about that last bit, I would be, but for the life of me i can't remember what the two things were called. Anyways. Back to it for me. Fly sage, live dangerously. I will science you right in the face.
Acer Rubrum Revenue Marine	Posted - 2010.07.20 23:11:00 - [20] Edited by: Acer Rubrum on 20/07/2010 23:13:22 On behalf of Revenue Marine, New Eden's premier purveyor of fine and exotic goods, I am pleased to commit our most skilled exploration pilot. If his dedicated Proteus scan ship cannot find this wormhole, I assure you, it cannot be found. One thing I should mention, however, is that if we happen to find this no-doubt profitable trade route to Jove space, we might just keep it for ourselves. To the victor go the spoils, and all that jazz. Good luck and fly safe. --- Revenue Marine: Because drugs are cool and you aren't. Follow us across space.
Sibylla Aldanar	Posted - 2010.07.21 02:49:00 - [21] Edited by: Sibylla Aldanar on 21/07/2010 02:52:02 Edited by: Sibylla Aldanar on 21/07/2010 02:50:44 If you do find a wormhole into the Jove Empire and enter their sovereign space, how sure are you that you will be safe? For all we know they might attack you to prevent any Jovian secrets from leaking out. Furthermore, what are you going to do if the wormhole leading back into Anoikis suddenly collapses? It is not like you have unlimited resources at your disposal to wait for a wormhole back into Anoikis to appear. With that said, I still wish you good luck on your astral journey into the domain of the enigmatic Jove.
Herzog Wolfhammer Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2010.07.21 04:24:00 - [22] Ugh. An expanded launcher. Two CPUs in the lows and hardly a defense system to speak of. OK Mouse, you called it. I will set out from Villore tonight. Done this many times before, but a specific system? I suspect my effort, like the Stain mission, is in vain, but if anyone can find this "bridge", it's Mouse. Got a manager in Villore already hurting from his last lost bet, I will make sure he makes another bad one. Hopefully someone with the capability to jump friends into this system will be the one who finds it. I would hate to find that fleet alone, and I don't suspect the Sansha are that sort to let their pants down, if they even bother to wear any.

Anyone know what shes talking about?
Acer Rubrum Revenue Marine	Posted - 2010.07.21 23:25:00 - [24] Perhaps I'm giving away too good of an idea, but has anyone thought to start a search in the Stain region for wormholes that connect to Jove space? Maybe the actual WH system itself is irrelevant, but what is relevant is what it connects -- Stain to Jove space. We know a few things here: 1. The Nation is based in the Stain region 2. The Nation was in a WH (J235456) 3. The Nation is in 3-CE1R If we want to get to No. 3 ourselves, perhaps we need to start at No. 1. --- Revenue Marine: Because drugs are cool and you aren't.

The Nation was in a WH (J235456) 3. The Nation is in 3-CE1R If we want to get to No. 3 ourselves, perhaps we need to start at No. 1. Your analysis is flawed. 1. CONCORD investigations in Stain showed abandoned and/or defunct manufacturing facilities in Stain. 2. The attacks in J235456 seem in-line with the attacks conducted in Empire space. 3. Traces on Sansha's Nation pilots were performed after the first series of attacks in Empire space. The traces led to 3-CE1R. This points to the following conclusions. 1. The Nation vessels currently involved in the incursion were most likely built in Stain. 2. These vessels are now located in 3-CE1R. 3. These attacks have originated in 3-CE1R since the beginning. This would be the reason for the CONCORD blackout on information. This would also show that CONCORD knew about the origin of the attacks previous to the first attack in Empire space. Another point of interest is the ISHAEKA reports, noting a shift from continuous broadcast methods to user-specific burst communications. This speaks to a very specific shift in both methodology and implementation of certain innate characteristics of Nation technology. The timing of such a shift cannot be ignored either. In short, we believe Nation was preparing to interact with Jove technology. In this case, user-specific communications would guarantee easy termination of infected subjects. We wonder; is this a repeating cycle? Master, I am sorry. Tell us Kuvakei, did you solve the problem, or improve upon the interface to a point where it is no longer a concern?

Is there stuff recovered from the sansha battles that are being examined or is someone hording the info for private use? Khaz
Akuma Kenatsuki Caldari A Lite in the Darkness	Posted - 2010.07.22 15:22:00 - [27] Let me know if you need more ships. ALID may be small, but We're willing to commit as many resources as possible to this endeavor. We're already scanning when and where we can, but have yet to find anything useful...
Tykari Gallente AOE Enterprise	Posted - 2010.07.22 17:42:00 - [28] I applaud your bold effort. With the current situation being as it is we need answers. If someone can make to it Directorate controlled space perhaps we may get them. The presence of the Sansha fleet in Jove space leaves behind an uneasy feeling. And the continued silence of the Jove while not surprising considering their normal attitude simply will not do. I wish you and your crew a swift and safe journey. ------ In my memories is still see the waves. The light and the energy pulsing, forming shapes so complex and beautiful. It is a tale none will ever believe.
Mouse Nell Gallente	Posted - 2010.07.23 03:08:00 - [29] Apologies for the late reply. Local interference makes it difficult sometimes to get a connection to IGS. The node and datastream I was referring to were the PDW-09FX tactical subroutines and the PDW-09FX Data Shell, recovered by SYNE forces. One was was apparently recovered from a Nation pilot deep in a Catch drug lab, and the other was rumored to have been from ex-CONCORD agent Endoma's wreck when she was outed and slagged. They are presently in the possession of Soter, who was kind enough to give me those neocom datalinks, but not so kind as to let me poke at them before heading back to w-space. As for the Necessity of an expanded launcher... I don't know if one would be needed, but I use one just in case. Its a tight fit in the ship I'm currently boating around in, but I think its worth it for my particular style of scanning. Also, for everyone wanting to help probe down w-space, i only say: Thank you. Many hands will make light work, and at present I don't really care if I'm the one who finds it, so long as its found. My crew is unhappy with that sentiment, as they are looking forward to that fat bonus for their paychecks. But if SOMEONE finds a route to J-space through w-space, I'd say my theories are proven at least, with reproducible results. For those who wish to help, but don't want to spend weeks sifting through w-space on a quixotic quest, then perhaps assistance with an old and cold lead would be more up your alley. There was a Scope report some time ago about Nation transmissions entering Gallente space. I've been told it was, as well, followed up on by SYNE command and their various capable pilots, but at this point we are hurting for a lack of intelligence. Going over old leads may just give us info missed the first time. I will science you right in the face.
khazak mokl Black Viper Nomads	Posted - 2010.07.23 06:39:00 - [30] Thanks for the reply mouse. It opened up another avenue to look over. 10 seconds of research gave me a link to a site where in 2009 dropbear reffered to a hidden story but booster production has never been my area. Seems like the hints have been here along time for those looking.
