Internal UMC report

Our Jericho “friend” who has been to the anomaly and seen the glyphs has figured out the location they point towards. The reasons why someone was able to intercept the message and forward all the ciphers to the mercenaries are unknown. Since information about the messages has been made public, the truth should be hidden behind various meaningless riddles as soon as possible. It might even be worth giving away the full set of red herrings to some journalist.

Now to the results of deciphering the messages. Our engineers have thoroughly investigated each part of the message and came to the following conclusions:

The line about bleary light meant the evolution of stars. So we needed to find two stars with approximately the same parameters, but different stages of existence. The parameters of the star in the Pandora system and an anomaly in the same system were taken as samples. Among the objects that matched these parameters and were associated with Aliens or Precursors were Mezza, Pallas, and (with low probability) Solaris.

Subsequent clues revealed that some of the previous parts of the message were misguidance. According to our findings, it was the words about stellar evolution that were to mislead the recipient of the message.

An expert in the field of toponymy offered the following solution to the riddle: an area of the Solaris system known as the “Orange Giant”. The star Solaris is similar to the Pandora anomaly in its emission spectrum, and the Orange Giant is the future phase of that star.

Based on these findings, we are planning to investigate the Solaris system. Several pilots have already been appointed to this mission. The best position for a communications station in the system has not yet been determined. The main difficulty of the upcoming operation is that we will have to hide our true interests. For that reason, it is not advisable to use Sentinel platforms. Also, according to preliminary reports, unknown signatures similar to Ellydium ships have been spotted in the system. Additional forces are required to investigate the details.
