ALIEN PLOT THICKENS
14 Nov 2016Scaramanga
After my last log book entry, it hit me that the system shown below had a white star. So, I screened out all stars that were not right in the Heart nebula including this system and planet: HEART SECTOR AA-4 E61
The planet shown caught my eye. Exploring with my SRV I found something disturbing. A burned out SRV, still smoking, and several cargo canisters. One of which was nerve agent. Who takes nerve agents to this part of space?
Further exploring revealed two downed nav beacons, one Imperial and one Federation. No sign of assailants or ship wreckage.
Did aliens make a preemptive strike? Or was it something else. Was the Commander just unlucky?
I landed on a few other planets and nothing of note was found.
Commander Morgana Devil gave me interesting insights into her theories on alien discovery. We spent at least an hour plotting the 'straight line' from Reorte to Riedquat, and we pinpointed four systems. She also believes that aliens are going to be a signal source rather than on a planet. It all makes sense to me.
So, now we've teamed up to find intelligent, non-human life. I only hope that we find the alien life before a trigger-happy Commander starts a war.
