Someone with a UL needs to do some honking and space science with it - see if it points anywhere, see if it reacts to being honked; take it to Merope and see if it changes at all. Pretty much all the tests that have been done with the UA and UP need to be performed on the UL.

Can confirm the following:
UL does NOT point at Merope.
ADSing the UL does nothing.
Data Link Scanning the UL does nothing.
Can't check to see if it points to Col 70 system as the system is not selectable, although it kinda looks like it's orienting itself to point at something although I may need to double check with some gentle nudges.

Update
Having the UA, UP and UL all out at the same time doesn't seem to do anything.
Honking UP just pushes it away.
It did seem to make a weird noise when the UA finished making a noise, gunna double check that.

Absolutely - at first I was confused that there's only four orbits, then I checled the system map - we have 4 pairs of binaries in that system, and looking closely, that is what the map depicts. So this is a done-deal for me.

So the one on the right is possibly the permit locked Col system that we still can't get to...yet?

Just going to post this up with the theories as to what they are labelled on here. I've taken a couple of liberties, but I've also improved the contrast of the image:

I wonder whether the "source" of the UP, UA and UL at the bottom is HIP 14909 since we've had to put all three together to get this "map" in the first place.
It seems obvious that the top is the Thargoid homeworld, what with the presence of 2 Thargoid ships around it...

Putting this here since my previous posts were stuck in new user queue last night and I want to make sure it get's captured in case it's relevant in the future.

Last night several CMDRs here discovered listening posts in Merope, Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 and HIP 19072 were all broadcasting messages such as:
"Transmission Detected Gamma Level Encryption VJS-080-A...

Signal Match Detected in Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 and HIP 19072 systems.

...Unable to process signal. Signal Match Detected 111.29 lys Language parameters exceeded...

Signal Blocked at Source..."

Subhouse07 suggested that with three of these it may be possible to triangulate the system. I was able to find a spreadsheet calculator which solved for that equation (same thing GPS does) that I'll link later today when I'm home. The set of coordinates that produced matched the location of HIP 14909.

I think it might be meant to be read left to right:

UA + UL = UP

Or

--I + -I- = -II

If binary, then 001 + 010 = 011

(Edit: )

^ Exactly :)

It's a bit like some crypto methods where Alice and Bob exchange the result of XORing two pieces of data - they both know their half of the data, and by exchanging the XORed product of those with a key, they can both validate that they have the same key (that's massively simplified!).

Because if you have:

001 (UA) & 011 (UP)

You can synthesise the UL - as the little side-room factories do inside the chamber, simply by doing:

001 ^ 011 = 010

(^ being XOR for the purposes of this post)

Taking that to its logical conclusion - the unknown link contains parts which are found in either the UA or the UP, but not in both.

Requoting this, not for rep, but because it seemed to me that this new sonogram might provide context for the UP sonogram.

And it seems we might finally have the beginnings of an explanation for the top left and top-right quadrants of the UP sonogram (find spoiler in body labelled 'The drawing in the spectrogram') -

They are keyed '-I-' and '-II' respectively.

The implication being that the Unknown Link is responsible for whatever is represented by the top-left part, and the Unknown Probe does whatever is represented by the top right?

This is the order they need to be placed into the receptacles for it to begin working.

I also have a feeling that the Unknown Link gets the data from the other two UA/UP and might be useful later (Like syncing the data from both)

There is no specific order in how they are placed in the pedestals. Just need to match them up with the correct item.

That's all in the 'guide' (in my sig) for posterity - nice job CMDR o7
