I doubt its a qr code
I ** hope its not! I could do the binary one when I had a a chart but I aint a coder / programmer or anything like that with zero knowledge of anything that that may involve.
but I have a vague memory of someone doing one before, whether in game or not I have no memory, but some code-cracking thing somewhere at some point that drew a QR code that led to a website.

I'm pretty sure she never mentions the LP. Are you thinking of the bit where she says they're using the beacon to send info back to Azimuth?
"Our transport ship's long gone by now, but Taylor's using the beacon to transmit our findings back to the company in the Chukchan system."
Is there some chemistry and taxonomy specialist? Some strings looks similar to content in some documents about proteins and genes but it is probably just coincidence they are using sequences not common in human language. Do we see part of Thargoid life building blocks?
I am, are you taking it to mean the Beacon at the Outpost?
tied in with 'top of the line encryption' it seemed to be the LP to me. Plus my tinfoil below but thats separate and can be chucked at any point if proven one way or anoither.
Tinfoil 'evidence' for LP being the Beacon.
the Adamastor was sent on a roundabout trip. Not straight to CSN and files a flight log for 370LY towards *. Assuming that the LP is the beacon this suggests that somebody is deliberately obfuscating the direction. Messages from CSN are sent 'south', messages from Chukchan are sent 'SouthEast', anybdoy following the trail from Chukchan would have a hard time (as we are even after finding the LP), anybody following the broadcast into Chukchan would lead to the same LP. On way back the Adamstor was either travelling in a straight line West for X LY then turning South to Chukchan or was heading elsewhere. So anybody following the line back into Chukchan would end up far to the West of the suvey site. All directions and vectors point far away from the target site. Someone is deliberately pointing people away from the right site.
So a message broadcast straight from CSN to Chukchan would lead straight back to source.
Like I say thats all tinfoil readings and tinfoil 'evidence' to back it up but it made sense. Does imply LPs are 2 way communicators though....
* Edit: I shortened Barnards Star to the 2 initials and got censored
But that would also suggest that the transmission from the survey site to the LP was either unencrypted (unlikely given the message) or was encrypted at the base somehow with the same (similar) top of the line encryption the LP was using. Further, given the distances involved, I find it hard to believe that the transmission would be via tightbeam and not a general broadcast requiring the encryption to be broken by any interceptor. So, a general broadcast would reveal the source but not the destination, whereas a tightbeam (if even possible) would have very little risk of being intercepted by chance anyway.
Of course obfuscating the actual flight plan by filing one and using encrypted messages at LPs is totally reasonable especially if at that point the Adamastor was also flying radio silent (though I suppose Azimuth could have just handed the captain an encrypted pad and said “open this two days from now”).
Yeah, I'm taking it that the beacon refers to the transmission apparatus. The sentence seems set up to be referring to what they're doing locally. If there was no LP, then the sentence would still make complete sense, which indicates to me that that's how it's meant anyway.
As regards the Tinfoil
A couple of things we also know or can infer:
- They were transmitting their findings back via the beacon (however we interpret that) on an ongoing basis (presumably since the departure of the transport ship which is sometime shortly after 13th Oct) until...
- On 27th they receive an instruction from Azimuth to stop transmitting and that the Adamastor is on its way
- It appears to have been them transmitting that they'd discovered the wreckage of the alien ship which lead to B.
- All transmissions must have been FTL
- As it's FTL transmission, we don't really know how that works or what it means in terms of interceptability or deduction of source of location if it is interceptable.
So just to come back to a few points from your post...
Yeah, those who are in the know at Azimuth are doing so.
We don't know this, see points D and E. (Not saying what you said is definitely not correct, just that we don't know whether it is correct or not.)
As a general point, I think it's also worth bearing in mind that there would probably have been a massive info lockdown internally within Azimuth once the discovery of the alien ship was reported.
In sheron sytem you have the mega ship GCS SARASVATI... is it from an older story ?
1st log refers to in-built encryption so probably the same. Phones do it now.
Whilst I think the listening post message may be redundant (as I assume it just served to re-direct the Adamastor to Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1), it is annoying that it has not been resolved yet.
I assume the message will include relative information from Synuefe XE-y c17-7 to the target geographical installation on MDR PJ-P b6-1 and just perhaps this can be used as a key.
(and we all know what assumption did...)
Having played with the listening post message a bit, I'm at the stage where I'm just seeing what I want now. I can see "body 3" and "long:-" but too much gibberish. The absence of the (commonly used) letter "a" in the message suggests a substitution at some level rather than a plaintext re-arrangement. Outside my comfort zone. The inclusion of spaces and punctuation in the ciphertext is interesting.
As for now, I think I'll go back to playing the game.

Has anyone made a binary solution for what is missing from the "COALSACK ***ULA" and things that were assumed message?
Could that be useful?

Logs from the Sarasvati were post war.
they also paste an halloween event here.but nothing like the binary code on FB. and this 4 days ago.

I would love to see something like this in the future.
If anyone's still interested (or it's bugging them we haven't solved the listening post data yet) here is the message expressed in corresponding ascii/unicode 8 values:*

StuBaDub: You are missing dot after BTJ-Y
Interesting. Anyone know if that's an abandoned base that is already known about?
