Chapter 1 - Searching for answers
05 Mar 2021Rsimpson500
My father is out there somewhere, I just know it. Maybe he's dead, maybe he's floating in a statis pod, but I need to know. For 20 years I've been searching for answers, ever since that terrible week when my mother Aspasia was killed and my father Marcus vanished. 10 years at Universal Cartographics, using my access to sift data and learn more about where my parents had been exploring and what they were doing.
5 years researcing the Guardians and Thargoids, looking for answers - what was my mother researching, why was she ambushed by a Thargoid Scout?
And the last 5 years getting out there myself, searching Guardian ruins - in the Arsaidh Nebula, the Skaudai Nebula and the Regor Sector.
I've found sites my mother visited, and it's clear that she was looking for Guardian weapons technology - so much of her work pre-dated Ram Tah. Was she being watched by the Thargoids? Did they kill her to stop her research bearing fruit? Perhaps. It's now clear my father was helping her. Whilst she spent time on Guardian sites and doing research, he was off on long-distance exploration missions searching for new Guardian sites, with astrophotography and pure exploration as a cover story.
The sites in Arsaidh and Skaudai - I now think that he never found them. My visits there were not wasted, at least I've narrowed the field. But now I need to head outwards again. I'm heading for the Eta Carinae sites and beyond. Perhaps I can find some trace of him there and work out where he went next?
