We've located Hogan Depot on HIP 7158 A2B and accessed the audio logs that we could. There were 3 here at this INRA installation.
According to the audio entries, the workers here were told that they were receiving pesticides, which were dropped off, and picked up later. The workers were told not to ask questions, but according to the first entry, as the one worker put it, with the amount they had in storage, an outbreak of astronomical proportions would have to be expected.
There was a visit from some of the top brass from INRA. One of the guys had been judged as some sort of military figure. From the worker's entry, apparently whatever is going on here, INRA isn't running the show.
After some time the delivery ships stopped dropping off supplies, but the pick up ships kept arriving until the facility was emptied. The worker said he talked to a pilot at the docks and during their conversation, the pilot revealed that this was part of an anti-Thargoid weapons project. The pilot told the worker that the destination for the supplies was LP 389-95 7.
More questions than answers at this point. From what we have retrieved so far, I can come to a partial conclusion that the workers and scientists in these INRA facilities were only told what they needed to know, and perhaps out of fear, cooperated without question. There has only been one instance in which a predecessor had been "reassigned" to a different division, no doubt, probably asked too many questions and was a victim of an unfortunate accident.
While I have no actual evidence to prove the latter part of that statement, my gut tells me that the Federation and perhaps even the Empire, would stop at nothing to cut any loss with an employee who may have loose lips. So I guess the old Earth adage still holds true.
Like all the other INRA facilities, this one is barren. No life signs, no power. Completely abandoned, like the Ghost Towns of the Old West...not even a tumbleweed to be found here.
Perhaps we will find more answers in LP 389-95 7.
