If anyone is interested in checking out an ammonia world I found several months ago. SYNUEFE FC-S D5-72 7. Not in the nebula, but thought it might be worth checking.

So here's what I've deduced so far about the new transmission. Not saying any of it is likely even close to right, just my own thoughts and ideas. Twist them as you like.
In the 5m30s sample posted earlier there are many little bursts of chirping noises. For sake of establishing convention, I'll call each of these bursts a character. I've noticed that each character starts with two quick, high-pitched chirps (what I've dubbed the Initializers) and ends with a slightly longer, much lower pitched chirp (which I'm calling the Terminator). This is true of every single character. Between the initializers and the Terminator, there are always three tones. The exception to this rule is what I'm calling the "anomolous character" It has the initializers and terminator, but it's middle section is five chirps instead of three tones, and the five chirps are always three lower, and two higher. I've highlighted all these features in the following image:
Now, there are five total sequences of characters in the sample. The first 4 are quite short, only about 8 or 9 characters. The 5th sequence though, which sounds like the first clip posted, is much longer, and has many more "space" characters than the other sequences. As for individual characters, It seems to me like they could be binary. My first thought was morse, and so I tried converting High and Low Pitches to dots and dashes, and tried reversing them too. This would always get me the Letters R, K, O, S, G, U, D, and W in some combination. I realized soon enough that these letters were all just inversions of each other. Morse for R is .-., while morse for K is -.-, U is ..-, and G is --., and so on... So Morse seems to be out the window, but binary... that seems far more believable. AND if our original theories on the Probe's Discovery Scanner Honk Spectrogram are true, then this matches nicely with the --| and -|- type symbols from before.
The only complications are this:
1) I Don't know if the three tones of each character are explicitly 2 pitches, or if there's a third or fourth here and there. It SOUNDS like there's just a high and a low pitch, but I could be wrong...
2) THe anomolous character. IF this is binary, and the characters are numbers, then i suppose the anomoly COULD be a decimal. But again, I'm totally shooting in the dark here. I honestly have no idea what that bit could be.
ANYWAYS, I transcribed most of the 5m30s recording, getting only about half way through the last bit before giving up, not sure anymore if it was just two pitches or three, or four!? Here is what I Deciphered.
1 is high pitch, 0 is low pitch, underscore "_" is a space in a sequence (Not a long gap, just a quick pause), and ? is the anomoly
Sequence - Transcription - Base ten interpretation
1 - 110 000 101 100 ??? 110 000 010 111 - 6054.6027
2 - 110 ___ 101 100 110 ??? 100 000 101 - 6 546.405
3 - 101 ___ 110 001 010 010 ??? 100 110 111 - 5 6122.467
4 - 100 ___ 101 101 111 110 ??? 100 110 111 - 4 5576.467
5 - 011 ___ 101 111 000 ___ 101 110 000 010 110 101 100 ??? 110 000 010 111 ___ 110 101 101 ___ 110 011 ..... This sequence continues, but I didn't complete it as by this point I feel like I'm grasping at straws...
SO. There's my insane ramblings out of the way. Make of that data what you will, keeping in mind that I may have grossly misinterpreted the pitches as binary and that even if i'm right, I might have the 1's and 0's reversed... Probably just flailing wildly here, but maybe someone else will make something of it. In the meantime, I'ma go get me a Probe.

Here's a transcription of Mykl Atrum's recording of the FFUP signal- the new one you get when you look at it from the end that points to Merope.
as little interpretation as possible- I tried to just write what I heard as the different sounds in the signal. Anyone who has heard it knows it's a crunchier fuzzier signal than the others, with echo, reverb, wobbly frequency shifts etc. I'm sure other people have other takes on it and I encourage people to post them.

sections = sounds after each howl
. = the fast dits before each set of three longer tones
h = high tone
l = low tone
# = rising flangey sounding chirp tone, as heard after the 4th triplet tone in the file
section 1 - 4 has 1 # sound per section
section 5 has 3 of them

I think there should be some data, maybe with amonia words, in Maia station. I brought everything I have found there.
I've been calling them Tweets.
Maintenance in 15 minutes 
NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo............________
NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo............________
tones or notes something like that should be fine
sorry insane pet peeve mode activated
they do sound like a particular bird near me. It's really unnerving to walk out the door and hear this tiny finch going eep eep eep ..... eep eep eep
While Ammonia world sounds rather logical, maybe at one point we should test water worlds and earth-like planets just to rule out that thy are not spawning there. (maybe they just search for life?).
Well, that is exactly just the opposite of what happened. I've been checking water/elw/water based life/ammonia based life worlds for weeks up to yesterday, then I introduced the ammonia world just today.
Wait, remember one of the previous live streams was stated that the probes only sing near planets with life. We may encounter an increased chance to find probes near planets with life.
Requesting data on systems with ammonia worlds, for:
* California Nebula
* Witches Head Nebula
* Running Man Nebula
* Orion Nebula
* Seagull Nebula
* DoINeedToContinueNebula
If you're sitting on data spillit. Please. Or go check it out and let us know
* Sadr
* Veil N.E
* Veil N.W
* Elephant's Trunk
* Pelican and North American

It would appear there is a infill of the shell of the UAs, it is 0-135LY from merope, so far nothing reported outside of this area of space

its a <135Ly infill from merope, i doubt you will find any in this system unless its in that 0-135Ly from merope and around an ammonia world range
Theory: UAs are cartographic scouts, launched evenly in every possible directions 140 years ago from Merope 5C by someone looking for ammonia worlds. UPs are the recon element, launched to check possible targets. What are they looking for?. Thargoids?.
So, UAs and UPs are not of thargoid origin, and maybe thargoids wiped out Merope 5C before our arrival.
