Signals from the black.

Turns out that you can make stacks of credits by providing high security but also luxury transport of high profile passengers. The universe is a dangerous place and businessmen, politicians, and CEOs, all want secure travel arrangements to conduct their business. I have been literally making millions of credits using my federal Corvette to ferry these guys around the galaxy. They even tip you more if they see some actual combat. Though I have been finding that there are a lot of dumb pilots out there. Who interdicts a combat corvette with a viper anyway??
Now on to why I am here in this system.... Got a lead on more guardian tech from Liz Ryder she says Ram Tah got some signals from this sector and asked a bunch of pilots to come and investigate. Liz remembers me talking about being interested in guardian tech/weapons so here I am... Ohh and did I ever find something. Got ot the system and scanned it. Sure enough a large station sized object is broadcasting a signal. No idea why it is all of the sudden doing this or why no one ever spotted it before. It is big.
Anyway I approached it with caution, remembering the automated defenses I had seen at other guardian sites. When my nose was not bit off by some crazy drone I got more bold. Turns out there are 3 pylons like at the guardian sites you can charge up with energy emissions. The station then opens up (scary btw when you are right next to it), and reveals a data point like at the Guardian sites dirt side. I scanned it and got coordinates for a planet side location, another possible Guardian site? Well I am ever the explorer and a Guardian tech nut so I will have to go take a look. Also of note there was a Guardian relic that was released from the station after I scanned the data node. It looks like the relics you find at the sites but is different. I am going to pick it up and take it with me. I am curious to know if it will fit in the slot where I have put guardian relics before to activate the data nodes. Either it will do something or blow up the whole planet. Either way should be fun.

Ok so there is a site where the guardian station/beacon thingy said there was. It looks like a fairly standard site with the usual set of obelisks, pylons, and guardian parts, and of course guardian drones. Killed all the drones as normal, did the same rigmarole and activated the data node. but this time I put the key rather than a relic in the slot. Fit perfect like the Guardian xenos knew what they were doing. And I scanned the node. I got something new. A fragment of what looks like a small ship blueprint. Ohh this is exciting. I cant wait to get this to a technology broker and see if they can make heads tails or tentacles out of it. Kinda disappointed that I didn't blow up the whole planet though... Maybe I have been in the black too long...
