Weird Findings on an unassuming Moon...
03 Oct 2021Thales de Almeida
On my current exploratory expedition to an unamusing star system somewhat close to the Bubble, following my inquisitive and slightly compulsive nature of letting no stone unturned mindset, I came across some weird markings on the surface of an unassuming, uninteresting moon orbiting an equally underwhelming gas giant.By complete happenstance, as I was preparing for landing procedures, I noticed what looked like tracks left by a giant wheel of sorts, but this thought lasted seconds since I had to double-check the altimeter to make sure I wasn't too close to the surface of the moon. And then this reasoning stops making much sense. I was at an altitude of 4,5 Km from the surface, Yet the "tire track" was really visible and well defined on the surface of this small, empty, devoid of any interesting aspect satellite.
I immediately felt a rush of adrenaline rushing through my veins because in all my time exploring the vast emptiness of the space outside the Bubble, I had never seen anything like that, and I don't recall ever hearing about such "tracks" being left by Thargoids or Guardians, and these marks are way too perfectly straight to be a natural, geological formation, or at least it is the result of some geological property impossibly absurd and rare, which, in any case, proved it could be a unique finding with my name attached to it.
Now, I'm not a very ambitious, egocentric, and vain person, but as we all know, the life of an explorer isn't the most profitable one, given that we have to go to the other side of the galaxy and back to afford upgrades on our ships and to not have to worry about Credits every day. So this finding's location will be kept a secret for as long as I'm out on this expedition. I doubt this discovery, be it whatever it really is, has some extreme repercussion to it, so this aspect of the morals of keeping this information a secret is off the table.
To end this article, I want to share some of my thoughts regarding this finding, what it could be, theories, and some extra information about it. First, as I landed close to it, It became clear that it wasn't tracks of a wheeled vehicle like it looked from the upper atmosphere (yes, it is visible from altitudes close to 30km as I tested it after landing the ship on the surface), unless this "vehicle" is big and strong enough to carve the rocks on the surface to rearrange them into "rows" of small rocks aligned perfectly in a straight line. Yes, the tracks are rocks, no bigger than an SRV, aligned perfectly into a straight line. The "tracks", or how I prefer to call them "planetary zipper", run across the entire moon surface up to a point where they meet two other lines in a triangular vertice. I landed on this "vertice", and I'm not sure if I was hearing something normal or there was a weird background noise near this vertice, but anything is possible.
I strongly believe I was under a lot of emotional and sensorial confusion due to the aforementioned "Rush of adrenaline", so I believe this background noise is just the astronomical white noise I never noticed before this encounter with the "planetary zipper".
I strongly believe, although I'm not properly equipped or instructed to determine this sort of geological findings, this is a freak geological formation. Several outlandish and ridiculous ideas and theories popped up on my mind about this formation, yes, I'm only a human that spends too much time by itself on the vastness of empty space, hearing about Xenos, about
how thargoids were once unknown and that guardian ruins were once weird geological findings on old surface scanners, so yes, I had weird theories.
I have pictures to prove my claims if anyone is interested in this, but, again, given that I'm still far from the bubble and humanity's oldest trait is opportunism, I'll refrain from sharing its location in the best way I can. Although I know some people could find it through alternative means, I now have this article written and published on this public and known platform as proof of the authenticity of future claims regarding who discovered this pointless (so far at least) "Planetary Zipper".
