Lunarisse Aspenstar Societas Imperialis Sceptri Coronaeque 11	Posted - 2013.10.15 12:56:00 - [1] - Quote Those of you who know me, know I hate mysteries. I've been trying to sort this one out for about two weeks to no avail so I thought I'd "crowdsource" it to coin a phrase. When transiting through Null from Providence back to Empire space, I received the following, weak but intelligible radio message that goes as follows: **SNIP FROM: 00EA:A9FA658F TIME SENT: 5239B1E0 PRI: CRIT MESSAGE: #2 PWR TIE CKT TRIP...#2 TIE BUS LATCHED OFF...RETRY CNT EXCEEDED...STBY BUS LATCHED OFF...EMERG BTY DISCH... SNIP**** It sounded like an emergency message but I couldn't place who sent it or from where. Another apsuleer reported receiving it when she was in a Wormhole. Oddly enough I was scanning at the time and was also near a Wormhole message. But that's far as I've gotten in sorting this out. Perhaps someone with technical knowledge could decipher this?

Looks like an emergency beacon activated by a loss of power or a disconnected system due to a mechanical failure, and automated attempts to rectify the situation have failed. The only other (semi-)notable thing I've gotten out of this so far is that it was sent roughly a month ago - specifically, on September 18th (a Wednesday) at 14:00 New Eden standard time.

Amann Karris Yulai Enclave 34	Posted - 2013.10.15 16:40:00 - [5] - Quote Quote: #2 PWR TIE CKT TRIP Number Two Power Tie Circuit Trip. A circuit breaker was tripped. Quote: #2 TIE BUS LATCHED OFF The circuit was latched. Quote: RETRY CNT EXCEEDED Attempts to reconnect the circuit were unsuccessful. Quote: STBY BUS LATCHED OFF Standby circuit latched. Quote: EMERG BTY DISCH... Most likely "Emergency Battery Discharge." I am not an engineer, but the above was the result of 10 minutes of research on GalNet. I would concur with Morwen Lagann's interpretation of the data. The final entry suggests an attempt to switch to battery power after repeated attempts to restore power. Identifying the source and sender are a bit more tricky, and that seems to be the intent here. Identifying any wormhole signatures near this (or subsequent) incidents could help eliminate some possibilities.
Pieter Tuulinen Pyre Falcon Defence Cadre XV-01A Pyre Falcon Defence Combine 1923	Posted - 2013.10.15 18:56:00 - [6] - Quote Some of this is disturbingly familiar to the pages and pages of logs my Caracal produced during it's slow death from power failure. To me this reads as a subsystem of a damaged larger whole that has tripped due to deterioration and loss of power.
Tarunik Raqalth'Qui Anomalous Existence 133	Posted - 2013.10.16 12:07:00 - [7] - Quote This does make me suspect a power failure as well, likely a very serious one if the emergency batteries/accumulators are discharging. Pinpointing the source would be difficult though, as it likely has taken multiple wormhole 'hops' to reach the recipients. Perhaps the source-address stated in the message could be of use though?
Kyllsa Siikanen Gradient Electus Matari 51	Posted - 2013.10.16 12:10:00 - [8] - Quote I had a snowmachine with a very strange transmission for several years; Gallentean made trash! 4 forward. Seriously? 1 and 2 were geared so low as to be useless, and 3 was far too high for anything resembling uneven ground. GÇ£Crying is all right in its own way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.GÇ¥-á GÇò C.S. Lewis-á
Ollie Rundle The Synenose Accord Celestial Imperative 79	Posted - 2013.10.16 13:29:00 - [9] - Quote Ms. Aspenstar, I've got three inquiries to make. I hope you'll humour me. You said you were travelling from null back to Empire space - were you in null-security space at the time you received the transmission? It sounds like you were close to a wormhole at the time, could you clarify whether this is true? If you had scanned the wormhole down did you try to enter and if so what system did it drop you into? Do you happen to know what the w-space system the 'other capsuleer' who claimed to have received this transmission was in at the time? O.

Do you happen to know what the w-space system the 'other capsuleer' who claimed to have received this transmission was in at the time? I am able to answer two of your queries to some degree. 1) I was in Providence region enroute to empire space, (2) Having done some scanning in the area, there were wormhole signatures and my interface showed I was close to one of the wormholes but did I not enter, I leave that to more intrepid souls! Not realizing the potential correlation, I did not take notes as to any specifics of the signature or wormhole. (3) I do not know the answer to this.

I hope these facts help someone shed further light on this.

Kel hound Lycosa Syndicate Surely You're Joking 57	Posted - 2013.10.18 07:11:00 - [13] - Quote I had my lab run the user ID through their systems, it looked familiar and the lab monkeys did turn up something interesting: Quote: +¬Oº¦µûÅ Now, to me, that looks very similar to the konji system commonly used by us wormholer's. They are used to help ID friendlys on D-scan. While its not a perfect system it might tell you a little bit more about whoever sent it if you can ID it as such. For the record I'll include the full lab results so ya'll can check our work.

I hope these facts help someone shed further light on this. That system is a Class 5 with a static to other C5 space. So its static wormhole wouldn't have been to known space, though it is possible a "wandering" wormhole connected it to known space. If your wormhole friend received the transmission at around the same time you did, and the system she was in had a wandering connection to nearby known space, she would likely have gotten the transmission through the wormhole. You could possibly triangulate the source of the signal given your location at the time and the location of any wandering hole between J161609 and known space. You should probably contact your wormhole friend to see if she has copies of that system's sigboard for that day, if one was kept. That information might be quite useful.

Lunarisse Aspenstar Societas Imperialis Sceptri Coronaeque 24	Posted - 2013.12.14 05:58:00 - [15] - Quote Well, it's a shot in the dark and perhaps too late.. but I did send this message after the foregoing thread..... Re: Distress Call From: Lunarisse Aspenstar Sent: 2013.12.14 05:40 To: Last Known Coordinates of Signal Hello Unknown spaceperson. I received a strange distress call on this radio wave length so I am responding to see if it is received. You seem to have been stuck in a wormhole I am assuming since I wasin Providence when I heard your signal and another capsuleer was in WH system "J161609" at the time she received the strange transmission. The transmission received, said, i think: Quote: 2 PWR TIE CKT TRIP Number Two Power Tie Circuit Trip. A circuit breaker was tripped. Quote: #2 TIE BUS LATCHED OFF The circuit was latched. Quote: RETRY CNT EXCEEDED Attempts to reconnect the circuit were unsuccessful. Quote: STBY BUS LATCHED OFF Standby circuit latched. Quote: EMERG BTY DISCH... Most likely "Emergency Battery Discharge." Can yuo advise where you are, if known, and the model of ship? if not too late, perhaps we can send help. Lunarisse Aspenstar

Oddly enough I was scanning at the time and was also near a Wormhole message. But that's far as I've gotten in sorting this out. Perhaps someone with technical knowledge could decipher this? Whatever this is from, its a power system failure. First, it has at least two main power supplies. Judging by this, the number one supply was already non functional when the second circuit tripped. The fact that it says trip, not damaged, indicates that it can be reset, which it tried to do automatically, an unknown number of times, and failed. The power bus (a glorified circuit breaker) is physically open, so I would wager that there is no crew or drone to reset it. The standby bus is open as well... I can't say why, but a power surge could do it, or just lack of maintenance. That leaves a backup battery of some sort, which is discharging to provide at least enough power for the transmitter. If it's powering anything else, I can't say. Obviously, whatever this is, is on its last gasp, and once the battery is dead, so is the source. Assessment complete. I hope it helps. It should be simple to triangulate a position for the source if the signal is continuous or repetitive.
Tarunik Raqalth'Qui Anomalous Existence 134	Posted - 2013.12.22 22:35:00 - [17] - Quote I spoke with Miss Aspenstar recently, and she brought this message specifically to my attention. After several database searches, I was able to correlate the identifier in the message with that of an Anathema-class frigate that has gone missing for an extended period of time....hopefully, someone with more in-depth knowledge of Amarrian power systems than I can speak up regarding possible repair methods or solutions.
Blaise Cadelanne The Synenose Accord Celestial Imperative 32	Posted - 2013.12.23 17:56:00 - [18] - Quote I ran the location information from this transmission through my science team, and this is the data that we were able to calculate using Galnet research and some of our contacts at the University of Caile: // Unknown Location Input: 00EA:A9FA658F // Calculated as possible hexadecimal encryption: // Decrypted to Possible Binary: 10101001111110100110010110001111 // Further analysis shows possible ASCII encryption // Decrypted to Possible ASCII: +¬: -¬+¦e-Å // Further analysis shows possible GalNet HTML code encryption // Decrypted to Possible HTML: +¬: -¬+¦e-Å *FINAL ASSESSMENT : Possible W-Space Identifier corresponding to a Anathema-class frigate.* *TACTICAL ASSESSMENT: Power failure of main capacitor. Backup Batteries currently engaged to maintain emergency systems. I hope that this is helpful for further investigation. Based on the assessment this ship doesn't have much time.

When the Vector of Hope became an engineering casualty about six months back, I was faced with the choice of removing myself from the ship's systems and condemning the crew of the shattered cruiser to die in deep space, or hang in there with them, helping them get the damn thing limping back towards home. This pilot may be in the same position. I believe an Anathema has a couple of crew.

Riesuleah Hadah Anomalous Existence Surely You're Joking 0	Posted - 2014.01.05 20:43:00 - [28] - Quote I....would like to thank everyone for their assistance. As it so happened....I was the pilot whose Anathema experienced the power failure that resulted in the distress call mentioned here. After quite a bit of head-scratching, and with the help of some of those who responded, my crew was able to jury-rig the power circuits to get enough online to allow me to probe my way back to known space. Fortunately, God provides, as my very first attempt at probing after the temporary repairs found me two exits directly to low-security space, from which I was able to limp my ship back to be drydocked for more....permanent work, as well as investigation of the original failure.
Lunarisse Aspenstar Societas Imperialis Sceptri Coronaeque 76	Posted - 2014.01.09 02:23:00 - [29] - Quote Pilot Hadah, I am glad our "crowd-sourcing" was able to assist you. I am also glad to see this mystery resolved. May God Bless your future travels.
