Thargoid Sighting
28 May 2022Cupco
28th May 3308. Continuing my survey of Thargoid points of interest in the Pleiades Sector. While investigating Comms Facility 89563 in the HR 1172 system encountered a Thargoid ship that also seemed to be investigating the site. Nearly crapped my pants. My Anaconda is outfitted for exploration and therefore has no weapons. Thankfully I have a double engineered FSD drive and was able high-tail it out of there before it could get a lock on me. To this point I was of the belief that Thargoid ships could only be encountered in open space during hyperdictions and when you seek them out. Nope, guess they hang out on planet surfaces as well. Will have to consider this if I am going to continue visiting these sites.I returned to the Comms Facility a few minutes later and there was no trace of the Thargoid vessel. Maybe it was as scared as I was. In any case I managed to download the log entries scattered around the site and picked up a few materials. Should help if I need to manufacture better defences against these beasts. I will now continue doing some exobiology in the area to fill out my codex. More than halfway done with the IOS. Maybe there will be some kind of reward for suffering through the monotony. This encounter definitely broke up said monotony for better or worse.
