A cult now has a nuclear weapon

Have been working on connecting stories in Galnet and the last few weeks have created a few very interesting connections.
Below is a bullet point output from the program I use along with an image, that I tried to keep track of key words




TLDR' cult may have nuclear weapon now because people did their CG back in December

Lucifer Device




⦁ Cult Requests Rare Commodities


3304-12-07

An obscure cult based in the Zlota system has requested a range of rare items for an arcane ceremony.
A handwritten statement from Barnabas Cole, leader of a group named the Children of Tothos, was submitted to the media:
"This is the rite that will unmask us and allow us to see the path – the path we will all take, together, toward freedom.
Zlota Federal Holdings, which is thought to have some connection to the cult, has requested Aganippe Rush, Motrona Experience Jelly and Onion Head to be delivered to Nusslein-Volhard Settlement in the Zlota system. It has also placed a kill order on all ships on its wanted list, to protect those delivering these rare commodities.
The initiative begins on the 6th of December 3304 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

3304-12-13

An initiative to deliver rare commodities to an esoteric cult in the Zlota system has concluded.
Independent traders provided Aganippe Rush, Motrona Experience Jelly and Onion Head for a ceremony to be performed by the Children of Tothos. Other pilots protected the rare goods from being taken by pirates.
Barnabas Cole, leader of the Children of Tothos, gave another handwritten message to the media:
"By helping us, you free yourselves. You will feel the light of our testament fill you, just as it fills the heavens.
The initiative was organised by Zlota Federal Holdings, which allegedly counts some high-ranking officials as cult members. Contributing pilots can now collect their rewards from Nusslein-Volhard Settlement in the Zlota system.

3305-02-08

A Federal Navy vessel has reported the discovery of an unregistered outpost with all occupants murdered, following a response to an automatic distress signal.
The incident is being investigated by the Federal Intelligence Agency. Senior Agent Rochelle Karim made the following statement:
"This remote lunar base was designed to prevent detection, and yet it has been located and invaded by unknown forces who chose to gun down its inhabitants. It appears access codes were used to bypass security systems, as there are no signs of forced entry."
"Initial findings suggest the outpost was dedicated to advanced nuclear research. This may have been a targeted attack in order to steal a power source, a weapon, or valuable data."
"We are conducting a thorough examination of the site, and expect to learn more soon."

The Federal Intelligence Agency has discovered that a nuclear weapon has been taken from an unregistered outpost.
Senior Agent Rochelle Karim made the following statement:
"Further examination of the outpost discovered last week confirms that it was home to unlicensed nuclear research. Personnel at the site were constructing a portable fusion warhead codenamed the Lucifer Device."
"One operational prototype was produced, but we have failed to locate it. Our assumption is that whoever invaded the base now possesses a movable bomb with a 300 megaton yield – enough to destroy an entire city."
"This investigation is a top priority and we are exploring all available leads."

3305-02-22

The Federal Intelligence Agency has traced the funding of an illegal nuclear research outpost to the Zlota system.
Senior Agent Rochelle Karim provided the following details:
"Having successfully decrypted the outpost's communications, we have determined that Zlota Federal Holdings was financing these unregistered research projects. Several of the organisation's principal figures were covertly redirecting public funds to construct portable nuclear weapons."
"We suspect that one of these individuals became greedy and arranged for the outpost to be raided, acquiring the prototype Lucifer Device to subsequently sell on the black market."
"The FIA is currently questioning the Zlota Executive Council to learn more. It is crucial that we locate the Lucifer Device, which poses a serious threat to public safety."

Or they're going to hit a major target hard, if they can smuggle in the weapon successfully. Economic? Industrial? Population center? Military? Symbolic?
 
Err.... Just putting this out there.

But

.............is there a funded mission, to deliver this device anywhere nice.

With something that size; I could start my own Big Bang.
 
Great work!
I've started investigating the Zlota system by looking at convoy signal sources and using a manifest scanner to look for anything suspicious and also have a FSD Interdictor handy. Nothing so far. There are two Installations to check as well.
.
Note that the group that funded the development might not be behind its theft, although whoever is clearly knew about it and had obtained access codes. I still think this could potentially be the work of the Project Equinox AI, Unit 1. The description in Galnet does read like something is meant to be findable in-game, so it would be a shame if it's only fluff.
.
The question of where to sell the Lucifer Device if you can find it is a different matter!
EDIT: as of 21:00 in-game time 22nd Feb, nothing relevant in cargo at either Installation. Checking surrounding systems for signs of the base has not yet found a candidate site but one Unregistered Comms Beacon has been found orbiting Novas A6. This apparently leads to Wright City, Elli, which was the target of a terrorist attack after a CG to deliver Toxandji Virocide. Here is the current text (a '.' separates 'words' judged from the gaps in the speech, it transmits on the hour):
05.11.3302.1605.9.18.5.22.15.12.20
So the first part seems to be the time, followed by 'I revolt'
