Pilots,
The expeditionary group composed of pilots from CAIN, FCORD, IKAME, JLAB, SFRIM, and other independent explorers, has completed its penetration of all five Drifter Hives over the span of roughly a week-and-a-half of operations. Following the discovery of the remains of Dr. Hilen Tukoss and the completion of our investigation, we are declassifying and publishing pertinent materials. Foremost among these is the study of TukossGÇÖs remains.
Enclosed is a summary of neural tissue analysis based on a sample provided by pilot Lucas Raholan, whose Stratios was the sole combat vessel to survive the first encounter with the Hikanta Tyrannos vessel guarding the Redoubt Hive. Raholan, as you all know by this point, was unable to retrieve the corpse during the operation, but did pass closely enough to retrieve a sample of his cerebral cortex before retreating. Raholan, further, agreed to share this sample with the Zainou Biotech research group in Isseras. Dr. Celes TenebraeGÇÖs report is linked here.
Tenebrae wrote:... This tissue has a great many characteristics in common with capsuleer neural tissues recovered from hard vacuum, and the pattern of tissue damage indicates the subject underwent at least an attempted neural burning at the time of death.
This neural burning appears to have been non-standard when judged by the extent of damage to the tissue.
Augmetic debris present in the remains bears partially legible nano-engravings that indicate at least three separate implanted systems were comprised of technologies known to be developed by the Sisters of Eve corporation.
DNA testing was certainly not standard in this case due to the near total cellular damage to the sample tissue. Of the sequences that were present, a very significant match rating was attained on their comparison to Zainou's records of Dr. Tukoss.
Please note that what follows is from analysis of a small sample, and more data may be provided if we are ever able to locate and retrieve the remains of Tukoss. Similarly, it may be that Zainou Biotech or CONCORD authorities declare the data confidential. In this case, further releases will likely come from a duly appointed authority.
In light of these findings, Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries believes that there is a high likelihood that Hilen TukossGÇÖs capsule triggered its transneural burning scanner. The apparent failure of TukossGÇÖs medical clone to activate indicates negligence or malfeasance on the part of Eifyr & Co., or intervention via unknown means by the Vigilant Tyrannos.
IKAME petitions the Directive Enforcement Division to audit Eifyr & Co. clone facility records, with the objective of identifying anomalous activity during the suspected periods of Hilen TukossGÇÖs broadcast, and identifying the status of TukossGÇÖs medical clone contracts with Eifyr & Co. Our counterparts at Zainou Biotech will gladly assist with the medical element of this investigation.
On behalf of the expeditionary group, Makoto Priano CEO, Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries, Ltd.

I begin by wishing to commend the investigations carried out by Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries, Ltd. into the fate of the late Dr Hilen Tukoss; his loss is unfortunate for the cluster as the growing Drifter menace grows seemingly larger every day. Had Eifyr chosen not to selfishly conceal his warning for their own benefit at the wider cost of the clusters security, we may have been better prepared to face such a threat.
With the release of this report and the analysis into Hilen's cerebral cortex, I have taken the remains back into my possession for safe archiving and storage befitting the late doctor. In regards to CONCORDS GÇÿrequestGÇÖ for it to be handed over to them, I must refuse such a request from an organisation that clearly makes no attempt to even respond to the threat posed by the Vigilant Tyrannos, an organisation so incompetent they failed to stop even the Minmatar terrorists they called GÇÿEldersGÇÖ from running rampage and whose edicts have lead to a state of forever war between empires causing untold numbers of deaths, all while still purporting to stand for the protection of peace. Such a group is not one I care to trust or even believe can stand against a foe with clear technological superiority.
They are welcome to our published results from our own investigation of which they observed taking place; however, HilenGÇÖs remains wonGÇÖt be ending up in one of their classified vaults to never be seen again.
May God guide us, Lucas Raholan

Certainly an option that warrants investigation. I would assume we'd need to retrieve debris from Tukoss's craft for that analysis, and I'm not sure how much remained by the time we revisited the Redoubt and learned that Tukoss's corpse was missing.

I applaud you for your stance on this. CONCORD has proven itself to be a ineffective and potentially corrupt entity and I am glad that the remains will be kept safe in your hands. I do hold a concern that they may not be satisfied with your lack of compliance however. If you find yourself requiring firepower for defensive purposes, my blasters will be yours.
To IKAME and all related entities that assisted on this mission - Thank you for your dedication in this en devour, and your will to seek the truth.
Let us hope that an investigation into Eifyr & Co will turn up more answers.

Hm. On the matter of Lord Raholan's response to CONCORD, I'll simply say this: the remains, retrieved by Raholan, are his to dispose of as he desires. While he did not comply with the letter of CONCORD's wishes, he has certainly allowed analysis by a foremost biotech firm with unique ability to identify the remains of Tukoss. CONCORD will hopefully be satisfied with having a witness present, and having the verification they desired.

So. The Vigilant Tyrannos blows up Tukoss's Buzzard months or perhaps even years ago in unknown, inaccessible space, with his presumed death and final broadcast concealed by Eifyr & Co. for reasons unknown, and your first response is that this Zainou conspiracy is a plausible one and must be considered. Why would Eifyr & Co. conceal this supposed intransigence on Zainou's part?
Now, obviously, Tukoss was disassociated, and his desertion remains a point of some issue. However, beyond that, do you have the slightest bit of proof or cause for suspicion? Because I've had a 'law of logical parsimony' argument with another conspiracy theorist here, and it's a bit tiresome to have hacks crying that the most probable, simplest solutions must clearly be discounted in favor of their pet conspiracy.
Maker. I should be investing in tinfoil, at this rate.

I think a more logical conspiracy theory would be that upon destruction of the buzzard, that the Drifters retrieved Dr. Tukoss's capsule and cloned him remotely, planting a corpse to create the appearance of his permanent demise so that we would stop searching. That would then open the subject to a host of more complex questions however, but its worth considering taking into account their current behaviors.

Scherezad-haani, absolutely do continue with the submission. And you really oughtn't give me the honorific 'doctor,' as I'm not one; just a surveyor, once you get down to it.
As for conspiracy theories, well-- essentially, yes. Everyone wants to be the one to discover some new mystery, or all the better be the one to solve it. This often means you'll get a handful of Capsuleers engaging in wild speculation whenever something newsworthy happens.

On the second question, Tenebrae summed it up as thus: "If it's not Tukoss, it's his brother," based on the genetic match. In all honesty, I have faith this is a corpse of Tukoss.

Do not be discouraged by alternate theories, and do not allow their presence to suppress any knowledge you have on the subject. Asking questions is part of human curiosity, and as long as we keep asking them, the truth will surface and disprove the ones that are wrong, regardless of how much tinfoil is fielded.

Given the altered physiology of these samples, how likely is it that this is indeed the corpse of Hilen Tukoss? I'm not an expert on the specifics of the neural burn process, but to my understanding it does a high-speed network walk from the implant stem into the midbrain, and then through to the neocortex via the hippocampus. From there the burn wave walks from inside to out, then back inwards, terminating near the various sensory bulbs. Neurotoxin concentration decreases roughly linearly along this path.
The neocortical structure of a typical humanlike brain is formed of a set of pattern-matching columns six layers deep, composed of several hundred neurons per column. Two layers tend to form strong intercolumnar connections, while the other layers remain within the column. This can be seen in the excessive neurotoxin concentrations on Plates 44 and 47 - they're comparisons of similar slices I've worked on from normal human brains that had undergone a burn process. Compare then to 12 and 34 to see the differences. As you can see, the plates from the normal samples have two layers which show heavier damage due to the increased communication of the burn wave through these areas, while the rest of the columns show relatively less. Our affected plates of the sample in question show widespread damage.
Would this disrupt the burn process? Yes, I'd have to suggest that it's not an unreasonable hypothesis to make, though experiments should be run to clarify whether this is actually the case or not. I'd suggest that the more chaotic burn wave transit through the neural structure would self-disrupt, especially along the corpus callosum. Again - that is only a guess.
Note, as well - the normal burn process is also not failsafe, and could easily be disrupted. I do think that this brain configuration would be somewhat more problem prone, but I have no idea on how much more so. With a research grant, this is well within the scope of our labs at LDRBC to investigate!

You know, Scherezad, Ishukone and Zainou naturally have an interest in the interplay between burn scanners and novel clone architecture. We'll have to take this to some associates off-forum.
That said, my understanding during your and Tenebrae's analysis was that the burn was abnormally powerful or accurate...? Tissue damage increases proportionally with the effect of the burn scan itself, if I'm recalling correctly...?

Oh yes, particularly with anything to do with brains, it would seem.
Test some Sebiestor brains ? Ooooo, the test subjects must have all been conspiring with each other to manipulate the results, says the IGS.
Rather a silly response, if you ask me.
That said, there are a lot of rather odd circumstances surrounding this whole affair, which tends to promote the formation of conspiracy theories.
The solution, as it always is in Science, is to cram your brain into the cracks of the universe, and lever them apart with the power of scientific thought, revealing what is underneath.

Well done to the teams involved both in the exploration of these systems and for the investigation of this sample.
I do find the links to the Sisters of Eve intriguing. Given their presence within the system now known as Thera and now this it seems to indicate this group has more involvement in what is going on than one would expect of a simple aid agency. |

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, though I inherently do not trust either the Empire governments or major corporation boards. In both cases their main concern is self preservation and increase in profit (or Imperial power).
Several things trouble me with regards to this whole mess.
If the footage we saw was from a reasonable time ago then why was Tukoss' body still floating in space? We know the drifters are using biomass so why would they not have taken his? Why also would they leave sleeper bodies floating in hard vacuum rather than treating them with some respect and removing them?
We are assuming that the body found was indeed the body Tokoss was inhabiting in the footage. It could easily be a clone and even an old one at that. I have three corpses out there somewhere and any one of those could be dumped in a location to claim I was killed there. Naturally the DNA would be a perfect match.
Another point that concerns me is with respect to the drifters themselves. They are clearly powerful and we have evidence of a large fleet. We are being whipped up into a defensive (and greed driven in many cases) fervor with regards to the threat they pose. Yet they have not attacked en masse. Why would a large fleet with superior weaponry give up the advantage of surprise and numbers by dispersing their forces and simply popping up here and there? If they had intended to attack surely they would have done so decisively, in force and out of the void.
This would have made more sense as they could have utterly destroyed any fleet at anchor with little effort, and as a by-product harvested enormous amounts of biomass. They didn't. This along with Hilen's reference to them seeming to be in panic makes me wonder whether they are running from something. Or gathering for a defensive engagement.
Too many questions and not enough answers for me right now, I prefer to make decisions based on evidence rather than supposition. However I am extremely concerned about the rise in anti-drifter thinking. Yes we must be prepared should they prove to be hostile, but we must also hold in mind the possibility that they may be running from a greater threat. |

First of all I would like to congratulate dr. Tenebrae and dr. Scherezad on successfully performing the autopsy and producing a thorough report detailing it's outcome.
Before expressing my point of view, I would like the elaborate a little more on the "next step" in clone reactivation and any possibilities of failure the lie ahead.
Common knowledge is that FTL communication (on which the process of transneural burning scan results transfer is based) utilizes a quantum mechanics dichotomy known as the EPR paradox. Few however are aware that this kind of information transfer is very hard to temper with from the outside of the capsule. Given the nature of this phenomenon it is required that the fluid containing entangled Helium atoms is stored in complete isolation from the outside environment that implies immunity to interference from any external radiation. In this setup the capsule can be considered as an additional layer of protection.
However each information processing system, no matter how isolated or black-boxed, has to be considered as vulnerable when we add data IN/OUT routes in to the mix. In the case above scanner-router link and information encoding modules are Your potential breach gates. Those, in theory, could be compromised but such an act would require infiltrating the capsule layer AND altering the desired data stream. I need not mention, that any POD breach triggers the transfer process almost instantly hence a potential attacker would have nanoseconds at best to try and perform the hack.
Of course, to gain assurance, the capsule remains would have to be examined, but, based on the data we have, my conclusion would have to be that any kind of interference to the scanning or data transfer processes during or before dr. Tukoss's vessel destruction is highly improbable.
Please understand that I'm far off from supporting any conspiracy theories here. However, based on the above, I would consider accepting dr. Tukoss's death as premature.
P.S. In an off-line discussion Priano-san suggested on experimenting with recently acquired Entosis Link device to test if any potential communications system breaches could be exploited.

With the release of this report and the analysis into Hilen's cerebral cortex, I have taken the remains back into my possession for safe archiving and storage befitting the late doctor. In regards to CONCORDS GÇÿrequestGÇÖ for it to be handed over to them, I must refuse such a request from an organisation that clearly makes no attempt to even respond to the threat posed by the Vigilant Tyrannos, an organisation so incompetent they failed to stop even the Minmatar terrorists they called GÇÿEldersGÇÖ from running rampage and whose edicts have lead to a state of forever war between empires causing untold numbers of deaths, all while still purporting to stand for the protection of peace. Such a group is not one I care to trust or even believe can stand against a foe with clear technological superiority.
They are welcome to our published results from our own investigation of which they observed taking place; however, HilenGÇÖs remains wonGÇÖt be ending up in one of their classified vaults to never be seen again.
In the event Concord chooses to abandon all pretenses and attempts to take the artifact, I can offer you safe haven in both Nullsec and certain wormhole systems; they will not dare to pursue you into these regions. Additionally, if you require firepower, my guns stand with you. It is the tyranny of Concord which drove me to leave Empire space for the lawless wilds of Tenerifs.
Regardless, I wish you luck in your quest! |
