There must some kind of connection, but the missing Liaququ system is strange.
Liaququ system is featured in both FE2 and FFE. ED would never just forget a system like that.

I just updated the wiki, again, with the last few pages' information regarding sightings (three new confirmed systems to search, for instance), added to the time timeline, plus kerrash's mention...
http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Artefact
It would be really really helpful if EVERYONE could update the wiki if they discover something, hear of a sighting, see one...anything. You don't even need to log in if you can't be bothered to sign up, the only rules are:
- Keep it 'factual', no conjecture or opinion.
- Only add something if you can back it up with a source, or better still, evidence
Now I am back at work, its hard for me to keep up and read every single post, and I am actually trying to, but if folks posted their findings on the wiki, it would get updated more often and great ideas and sightings wouldn't get lost in this thread.
TL;DR The wiki doesn't update itself automagically, you have to do it.

There's a New California in Liabeze near Achenar. Could try that one?
I'll try that one for you shortly Derthek.
I've been thinking about Kerrash's hints and what we know so far, etc. The latest mention that we are really close in his latest vid was posted 16hrs ago, so probably recorded with the last 48. What exactly were we doing/thinking then? A month ago he was telling us to keep doing what we were doing. Where were we then?
Other hints are that SAP8 is involved. That we should listen to them. That not everyone will get it. It's hidden in plain sight (Galnet?). That the outbreaks are linked (by way of body language/facial expression in vid).
I think the link is pretty overt between outbreaks and ua. They give off spores. The outbreak systems give us a bubble of space to look for the epicentre (I'll check galaxy map soon when I'm on)
We know that SAP8 alters the purrs sound slightly, and Bitstorm's excellent work on the phasing tells us that the presence of SAP8 is altering this phasing somehow - there is an interaction.
The leviathan stuff in interesting, there's too much correlation there to not be deliberate.
I'd like to know more about the whale sounds/honks - nothing on the wiki to say they've really been ruled out and I don't recall reading here anything conclusive on those. They do have a tonality to them and differing length of note. And they coincide with the lighting up. It may be more than just for cool visual and sound fx. On the subject of ciphers, has base 12 been ruled out?
Also, the beak/petal structure on the top looks obvious that it should open if conditions are right. Could SAP8 be nudged gently onto the beaky thing?
I strongly feel that we have to take this somewhere, along with SAP8. There just don't seem to be many more ways we can try interacting with it. Maybe to plague epicentre, or the source, or to the New California connection.
And again, I think we should look carefully at what we were doing and thinking at the times Kerrash's encouragements went out.
Sorry if all this is obvious but I thought a focused recap might be useful. Feel free to add/subtract from the list.

No change using linear or logarithmic, or even with sensor disabled in the module list.
Nice idea, but no joy.
I can't try the turret targeting idea because it's locked into forward only on my screen (no turrets).
Figured as much. Thnx any way, I'll update
Please do id you have the time.
Go as close as you can and ideally over the ocean.
Get a recording of the drop, so we can check the Morse.
Edit: listen to the planet as well, in case it answers the call

Zenith, tell me your CMDR name, I'll come where you are: I want to see that thing with my eyes, if you please
Thats a good idea.
I looked where they are a few hours ago, and it wasnt that far from eachother.
Maybe some kind of triangulation shows us a system that is equally far apart from them?

It's Cmdr Zenith Ddraiglas and I added you back a night or 2 ago.
Currently heading in the direction of Polaris.
So, the cryptic links to New California(s) are interesting, but the wings trailer suggests that our intrepid Ishmael picks up his UA in the California sector.
Have we been there with it? I mean - the only UAs we find are in convoys - but presumably they must come from somewhere...
Seems to me to be that one of the 'nicest' things to do would be to take it back where it belongs.
There's talk on the old thread about going there (p215/216) - but I'm not sure it was ever actually done with a UA on board, and observations made.
I suppose I'm saying, why think cryptic?

You're in for a treat
it's much louder than the videos make it seem. When it was in my ship I had never been more afraid that I couldn't look behind me. Pretty sure my ship is haunted.
Two quick questions on stuff done with the UA:
1. I know it got taken to the system closest to Polaris by someone. Wiki says "(Note that a UA has been taken to the nearest system to Polaris in 1.2 without any observable differences)." Is there actually a recording of this anywhere/what it sounded like?
Says no observable differences, but it'd be nice if there was a recording so that others could verify there's no differences. (E.g there were probably no differences to the observer at the time, but if they weren't looking for the right thing, it may have seemed like there was no difference)
2. I know I'm a broken record here, but has anyone tried anything with Trinkets of Hidden Fortune and the UA at the same time yet (or even trinkets, SAP 8's and the UA all at once)? There seems to be a lot of love for trying things with the SAP8's, but none for the Trinkets, despite the fact both are as tricky to access, both item descriptions seem to refer to "things inside" them, and both feature in missions related to the Dark Wheel. Again, I feel like a broken record, but this seems to be something being very overlooked despite an abundance of testing with SAP8's. Trinkets can be got from said missions, or in some ships in USS's
Sadly, I'm still unable to play for another 3 weeks, so I can't go UA hunting or contribute to this.

There is nothing directly at its coordinates - although as mentioned earlier a couple of the four systems you were interested in are sort of close to where it should be, so it is possible one of those is the "new" Liaququ. This seems to have happened with another old system which is believed to exist under a different name in ED (although according to my source, it kept the same coordinates).

If the UAs are the cause of the outbreak, then why haven't there been outbreaks in the numerous systems (and within the, at least one, station) where our UA carriers have released them?
The outbreaks are being scripted by FD to give a story for a bunch of CGs, and possibly more besides. If you make the UAs the cause, then you place the outbreaks in the hands of the players who carry them - which clearly hasn't happened.
Sorry but I just don't buy it, I think it's a dead end.
It's more likely (but still quite unlikely) the UAs could be part of the solution to the outbreak - but if they are we'd have to wait for FD to add that state to the story I think.
Good idea. Very neighbourly.
Perhaps a multi-ship ferrying of the UA back to the Regor region might be a possibility, given that it won't rely upon finding the right planet in a dangerously finite span of time, simply 'hitting the wall' of that entire region of locked-off space and hoping something on the other side in the next system is listening for the purring of its lost cat-whale artefact-pet.
(Only without the glibness in the way I phrased that.)
Hey Jmanis
I was there with the UA outside of Polaris. Having spent 3 hours with the UA I can say that it sounded no different than usual. Obviously, this was back in 1.2 and there is a possibility something may have been hidden in the audio that we missed, but for what it's worth we did our best to find any distinctions with our ears.

They are close, and inside their triangle is the previous (first) outbreak star, BD-02 4304. There look to be a couple of other stars in the triangle, Alrai sector KC-V C2-10, BD-05 4401 & HR 6372, maybe hopping between these systems will cause something to happen (hoping for a drop in to Witch space as per Elite...).
Hello good work on these last 2 UA's. I am interested in these items they are a strange bunch. How many more have you guys found I seen on the wikia page there are only 2 left. What are you guys planning to do with them next? Seems like you tried everything so far. Well except letting them finish their life cycles. About that finish or explode part. I have seen videos of these things exploding and they do seem to do something strange after the exploding. Looks like something is happening. But on the wikia page it says pretty much nothing happens. Maybe should edit that page little better. Another thing that seems wrong on the wikia page the Theory disproved has the let them finish what they do is in there. Since you guys havnt let the UA's do what i guess they do you cant say its been disproved. This morse code stuff is really neat thou. I cant figure out why its doing that. But the whale sounds are far out.
