Abandoned megaship Zurara

Next waypoint reached.After some neutron jumping I arrived at Syreadiae JX-F c0. The system is famous because an abandoned megaship was discovered here.
First I docked and restocked Hippalus on the nearby carrier KTL Frontier Sanctuary [J2W-5XF] which serves as safeheaven for visiting explorers.
Then I visited the Zurara megaship.
Zurara's history dates back to 3270 when a secret initiative was undertaken by the mysterious Club. Zurara was constructed and sent to Formidine Rift to mark potential safe-heaven Earth Like Worlds that could serve as asylum in case of another Thargoid incursion.
The logs of the Zurara describe the story that sleeper agents disabled the ship and killed all the crew in order to keep the project secret.
One thing puzzled me though. The logs of the mega ship describe that the sabotage led to disabling the core reactor and leaving the ship a derelict wreckage. The additional logs left on the ship indicate that the life support systems were offline at that time. But nowe the ship seems to be alive - the engines are glowing and rings are turning. It looks like that the derelict wreckage was brought to life again - at least partially after it had been discovered. Probably it was done to ease the exploration of the interior of the vessel, but no logs exist on who did that, and when. Maybe someone is secretly doing investigation and interferes with the ship?
