Careless Pawing

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt atmospheric entry.png

According to a report from the crew of the [Root.GetName], their mission was a failure. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] allegedly took manual control of the probe sent to retrieve a sample from the cluster, resulting in a collision between drone and mineral cluster that, while mild, resulted in the mineral cluster breaking apart completely.

The crew is careful to note that the experience has left Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] somewhat shaken, and the mineral shards should still be of some value.

Gilded Cage

Evt satellite in orbit.png

The mineral construct is, for lack of a better term, a room.

Made out of the same type of minerals in common use in the [Root.Owner.GetName], the construct is a hollow icosidodecahedron. Resonance scans indicate that it is mostly hollow, and was likely inhabited at some point in time. Unlike its pristine exterior, the interior is in complete disarray, possibly the result of an intentional act of sabotage.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that this makes it difficult to learn anything of value from the construct's insides, but stresses that the engineering techniques involved in creating the outer shell, eminently capable of withstanding the stresses of deep space, must have been tremendously advanced.

The holographic data documents the terms and conditions for a trilateral trade treaty between three major alien powers that once dominated this quadrant of the galaxy. Context eludes us and the details are meaningless, but Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] feels that this find will prove invaluable to improving our own ability to communicate with alien forces.

Alien Barracks

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt habitable dig site.png

The silhouettes discernible from orbit are indeed buildings, and closer inspection reveal them to be of an obvious martial nature. While abandoned for some time - though very recently on a galactic timescale - Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] believes that secrets of alien tactics may yet be exhumed from beneath the dust that covers the decaying barracks and looted armories.

A Special Project may be issued to study the remains.

Alien Barracks

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt habitable dig site.png

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName]'s thorough xeno-historical analysis of the military installation on [From.From.GetName] has yielded few tangible results. The base was constructed before the planet turned completely barren, but it is unclear if its current inhospitality is the result of armed conflict or some more peaceful or even natural process.

What can be deduced of their strategies and tactics in armed conflict does not seem to have been far in advance of our own.

On the upside, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] claims to have drawn much inspiration from the alien remnants.

Checkered

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt ship in orbit 3.png

The unique topology of [From.GetName] neatly divides the planet into innumerable distinct biomes, micro-climates that interact only in subtle ways seemingly engineered to sustain neighboring climes. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] strongly suspects advanced terraforming techniques at work, but few clues remain regarding the process itself.

Its effects, however, remain plainly visible to [Root.GetLeaderName] and the [Root.GetName]'s crew.

Ancient Automata

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt overgrown city.png

One of the major areas of extreme verdancy on [From.GetName] is centered on an overgrown alien structure. Initially thought ruined, closer observations by the [Root.GetName] reveal that the building has mostly survived the crushing embrace of the planet's flora.

A special project has been issued to find a way into the structure.

Ancient Automata

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt excavation team.png

The overgrown structure - an alien mineral processing plant - on [From.From.GetName] was, prior to its abandonment in the distant past, mostly automated. Husks of artificial workers litter the floor, their organic components - for their bodies were largely of a biological nature, held upright by polymer endoskeletons - long since rotted away.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] speculates that it is the organic remains of these automatons that, soon liquefied and drained into the ground, provided an intense boost to soil nutrition and allowed the native flora to grow both abundant and resilient.

The plant can be reactivated but the automatons, fascinating as they may be to [Root.GetLeaderName], will never walk its halls again.

Hard Shoulder

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt landing ship.png

There is a ship idling on the plains of [From.GetName], its sensors reacting to the [Root.GetName] in orbit around the planet.

The [Root.GetName]'s crew have been unable to confirm exactly when the craft was abandoned - for it is abandoned - or who left it there, or where they are now. According to Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName], remotely activating the lightly armed ship would be trivial, should we wish to add it to our fleets.

Evt physics research.png

The desert [From.GetPlanetMoon] [From.GetName] turned out to be rather unremarkable.

While the crew monitored silent instruments, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] was idly eyeing the [Root.GetName]'s energy reserves. According to their report the [Root.GetName] was issued less than the standard amount of energy when it last left port, but is more likely that [Root.GetLeaderName]'s carefree approach to resource management is to blame for the deficit.

Regardless, the ship does need additional Energy Credits.

Pirate Exiles

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt small space battle.png

What was thought to be a cluster of minerals are the metal hulls of two alien corvettes, stealthily drifting through the asteroid belt.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] established contact, and the two ships are crewed by alleged former pirates, now cast out from their robber-clan. They have heard whispers that [Root.Owner.GetRulerTitle] [Root.Owner.GetRulerName] of the [Root.Owner.GetName] is a champion of the people, and seek asylum.

Grinding Lattice

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt ship in orbit 2.png

[From.GetName] is crisscrossed by overlapping mineral-composite bands that are elevated above the harsh surface by tall, flexible pylons. Clearly of alien origin and constantly agitated by atmospheric winds, the pylons sway and the overlapping bands rub together to produce sonic waves at, to [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesNamePlural], inaudible frequencies.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports some trouble isolating this audio from the natural background noise of the planet, but also notes that the mineral bands could, should we so choose, be broken down and efficiently recycled by the [Root.Owner.GetName].

Wooden Hegemony

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt alien nature.png

[From.GetName] is a tropical planet with a thriving biosphere. A close analysis of surface flora reveals an unexpected lack of diversity, as one particular family of tall trees dominate the ecosystem.

Though not harmful in and of themselves, their monocultural hegemony appears to have a detrimental effect on the survivability of the planet's small animals, and it would be difficult to efficiently cultivate food crops on the surface should colonization ever be attempted.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName], a xeno-biologist of some repute, has put together a plan for re-balancing this alien biosphere.

Evt alien nature.png

Balance has been restored - or perhaps achieved for the first time - as large swathes of the dominant perennials have been rendered infertile by targeted radiation emissions from the [Root.GetName]. Additional specimens have been reduced to ash to further hasten the arrival of a truer equilibrium.

Evt alien nature.png

The inelegant elimination of wide swathes of the dominant trees on [From.From.GetName] have had unintended consequences.

The small animals that previously suffered under the perennial tyranny of the trees are growing both more plentiful and more aggressive - some would say savage. The isolated ashen fields that used to be home to lush forests now play host to heated territory battles.

Head in the Sand

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt landing ship.png

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the waves seen rippling across the sandy seas of [From.GetName] are, bizarrely enough, the result of active ship thrusters.

An alien vessel lies buried in the sand nose-down, its sputtering propulsion systems weakly agitating the dunes above. It appears to have been down there for some time, slowly driving itself deeper into the desert dunes. The [Root.GetName] lacks the means to excavate the struggling ship, and [Root.GetLeaderName] recommends sending a military vessel to [From.GetName] to unearth it.

It is empty. Almost stripped bare, in fact.

Its crew must have abandoned ship before it was left to burrow into the particulate surface of [From.From.GetName], and they took most of the ship's non-critical internals with them. The engineers of the [Root.GetFleetName] have managed to essentially hotwire the vessel, and have replenished its dwindling energy stores.

A cobbled-together comms repeater has been inexpertly strapped to [From.GetName].

Initial analysis indicates that the messages relayed are not of a particularly strategically sensitive nature, but rather private inter-ship communications between individual crewmembers.

Down the Drain

Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

Evt black hole.png

The readings originate from a small metal pod; Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has determined it to be a lifeboat of ancient and alien make.

Evidently caught on the outskirts of the black hole's gravity well aeons ago, at an angle just short of a slingshot maneuver - whether this was the intent or happenstance is difficult to judge - and the pod's automated thrusters have been fighting its descent to the event horizon ever since. It is now too close to the horizon to salvage.

[Root.GetLeaderName]'s report ends abruptly, and the crew of the [Root.GetName] communicate that the Science Officer appears shaken and deeply troubled by the tragic fate of the lifeboat.

Peddling Radiation

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt black hole.png

The readings picked up in the this system come, somewhat surprisingly, from the [From.GetName] itself.

As black holes go it is fairly small, which could account for some of the unexpected radiation leaking from its event horizon. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] believes that the black hole is on its way to bleeding out and will eventually disappear entirely; though it is difficult to say whether this process would be complete before the heat death of the universe. Some gravitational upset in the hole's youth has rendered it, to quote [Root.GetLeaderName], wobbly, further increasing the flow of energy from its event horizon.

There are structures on [From.GetName], though most are less than ruins and more akin to rubble. The [Root.GetName]'s initial pass over the planet reveals only one building that can be considered intact, seemingly spared whatever calamity robbed [From.GetName] of its buildings and builders alike.

This is the source of the noise.

Not only is the building intact, reports Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName], but it is active.

It is a production facility of some sort, turning plasticine polymers into mute objects of uncertain, but possibly ornamental, purpose. The raw materials and end product are largely uninteresting to the [Root.Owner.GetName], but we could doubtlessly stand to learn something from the automated manufacturing process itself.

Evt satellite in orbit.png

An emergency transmission buoy floats in gentle orbit around [From.GetName]. Its outer casing is heavily damaged, seemingly by glancing weapons fire or a powerful explosion.

It might be a [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] model for civilian ships - designed to be ejected as an emergency measure should the comms systems fail - but the extent of the damage makes it impossible to know for certain.

The situation with the kidnapping Ransomeer pirates, as well as the pirate band itself, has come to an end. Some questions remain, mainly relating to the much larger piratical navy the captives claim to have seen through portholes shortly after their capture. But, considering the circumstances, it can safely be assumed that the threat appeared to be much greater than it actually was.

Of Transmissions Past

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt alien ruins.png

As expected, the [Root.GetName] has located the source of the transmission emanating from [From.GetName].

While the planet is otherwise seemingly untouched by alien hands, a lone monolith of some sleek off-white mineral stands atop a hill in the southern hemisphere. It is from within this monument that the signal emerges, the enclosure clearly built for longevity rather than resonance.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has gone out of their way to establish the parameters for a Special Project that would decode the information the signal carries.

We believed the monolith to be only a protective housing for the transmitter, but we were wrong.

The transmitter, once isolated, turned out to be useless on its own. Something about the internal structure of the now-razed monolith made it work, and we have no hope of restoring its function.

Of Transmissions Decoded

Outliner top 500px.png


Evt alien ruins.png

Science Officer [From.GetLeaderName] reports that the signal broadcast by the transmission beacon on [From.From.GetName] has been decoded.

It is a memorial message, decrying the loss of hundreds of lives in a battle millennia past. A stalwart alliance apparently fell victim to treachery and deceit, and a massive fleet wiped itself out before the enemy had even arrived, as ally turned on ally.

Apparently these desiccated hulks were left in place as floating grave-markers, the crews having been destroyed by surgical strikes to weak points in their ships' hulls.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the [From.GetPlanetMoon] [From.GetName] was indeed once home to a somewhat advanced civilization, although one that brought about its own end before escaping [From.GetPlanetMoon]bound existence. By analyzing the few fragments that could be recovered from the ancient wireless information depots on the surface, the crew of the [Root.GetName] have pieced together the narrative of the civilization's demise.

At some point in the distant past, an ideological schism developed over the definitions of the philosophies we today know as collectivism and individualism. While the relevance of these philosophies seems highly questionable to the people of the [Root.Owner.GetName], this civilization evidently tore itself apart over the question of which moral stances should be attributed to which ideology.
