" The rest were marched into the cargo holds at gunpoint."
Sileo's code .. doesn't look like the same as we used for 1/3/4
Still getting my brain around it
Python:
data = "eeiaeLnunKmttel-m,nryeg-ecoeel-nn-,...."
result = ""
j=0
key="eadhbbea---"
pattern=(5,2,1,7,12,0,8,3,6,11,15,9,4,14,13,10)
data2 = list(data)
for i in range(len(data2)):
try:
result += data2[pattern[j]]
j=j+1
if j >= len(pattern):
j = 0
data2 = data2[16:]
except:
pass
print(result)Edit: Actually that is the same, just looks different to my version .. which I'm still not seeing the correct results from
Edit2: Ah - back to 0-15 from 1-16

Emergency Log. (LOG 1)
This is lieutenant Kelemen, deputy... acting security chief on the Hesperus. l have to report that the ship has been overtaken by enemy soldiers. Most of the crew are either dead or in hiding, like us. lt's Pharmasapien. Has to be. They had sIeeper agents onboard, including some of my own trooas. How the hell did they avoid our checks? They must have been waiting all this time, but today they just... opened fire. Cut down most of security first, including Major Umaru, then the bridge crew. The rest were marched into the cargo holds at gunpoint. In an hour, they controlled the Hesperus. Private Velasco and l managed to gather about half of the science team, and we made it to the aft engineering levels without being spotted. I've disabled the sensor suite so they'll have to search for us in person, which should buy us a few hours. I've fought Pharmasapien mercenaries before. infiltration is their speciality, but this is the biggest operation they've ever pulled. Unless... maybe the same thing happened to the Adamastor?
Makes sense. if they attacked either them or us using ships, proximity sensors wound have automatically sent a distress signal to Azimuth. Pharmarapien must know about our probes then, and that they found signs of nonhuman artefacts. And that means they'll kill anyone to get to them first. The scientists are asking me what's our next step. That's easy we survive. But l don't have a clue how. How can l save these people? Blank

Lieutenant Kelemen, emergency log, final entry. We've managed to move around undetected for several hours now, although it feels like the ship is deserted. The cargo holds had hundreds of people imprisoned there, we could hear their shouts ringing through the corridors, but suddenly they all went quiet. Did Pharmasapien... my God, those psychopaths! We have a plan to jump ship. Velasco has volunteered to use explosive charges to create a distraction, while l lead everyone to the launch bays. l've ordered her to rejoin us and not be a hero. l can't afford to lose her. They haven't managed to block my command codes yet, so l'll be able to get full control of all the secondary exploration craft. A few of the scientists have piloting experience, fortunately. Some of them even want to continue the mission, saying there are systems within range that may contain alien artefacts. Let's see if we get out alive first. l'm going to encrypt these logs in the central computer, so Pharmasapien won't detect them. But Azimuth will, and at least they'll know what happened... assuming they ever manage to retake the Hesperus. blank
Log 3
Recording.. This is Junior Engineer O'Neill. I 've just come back into the ship and found everyone poisoned.. Gassed. They're lying on the floor with their eyes and mouths all.. oh my god.. something's killed them all!
I was out on the hull. We've been searching for non-human signals using Azimuth's data to try and locate what they were looking for. Thr chief started wondering if the sensor arrays were damaged, so I went out to check. Lost all Comms. Came back through the airlock and found.. Can't risk taking my suit off - this poison gas it's probably still in the air. I might be the only one left alive unless anyone else is suited. have to go looking, there has to be someone else!
Wait.. was this done deliberately? I know some of the Azimuth crew managed to escape. Have they got back on board?
Is this them retaking their ship? I should encode this log in case they patch into my suit comms and track me. They might already know where I am. But I'm just an engineer. That's all I'll tell them. I'll tell them that Pharmasapien only brought my team along to keep the Hesperus operational after they took over that's all. They won't kill me too. They're not murderers. They're not like us.
LOG 4:
I've found out what's happened. The original crew didn't come back, it's just one woman who did this. I'm looking at her body right now, poisoned like all the others. She's wearing a security uniform, ID badge says 'Velasco'. She must have been left behind. And she killed everyone on board. I;m in the life support control centre. I realised how someone could have fed gas to all the living compartments, by feeding it through the primary atmosphere processors. And I was right. I can see the chemical tanks marked toxic... they're from the scientists storage hold - I think being piped into the ventilation network. That's how she did it. Wiped out every living thing - Including herself. Everyone but me. I could tear this all down, but I can't decontaminate the entire ship. There'll be pockets of these chemicals lingering everywhere, and just a few breaths would be enough to... My suit's running low on air. We have spare tanks, but how many? How long can I stay here? How do I... What do I do now? What do I do?

So the question is where is Kelemen? Did he escape with others and in which case where to and is it somewhere local to find?
Full Recap if you want to follow the story of the Hesperus!

So Velasco fought back with gas and wiped out the invading squads? Brutal.
Yeah the engineer mentioned he knows that some ecaped (log 3).
I had a quick look last night. The Metatron cube has some references to gateways two of which are the galaxy centre and Sirius. It also linked to 'the 7 sisters of Pleiades some of which we know as real stars. Maia is one of the seven sisters along with other well known stars systems in that sector.
I'm in no way saying this is relevant in anyway,. It did help me get to sleep lol
It's time for the salvation army to check and map everything around. Maybe there's a ship again hidden in a belt.
"A few of the scientists have piloting experience, fortunately. Some of them even want to continue the mission, saying there are systems within range that may contain alien artefacts. Let's see if we get out alive first."
"I know some of the Azimuth crew managed to escape."

"I know some of the Azimuth crew managed to escape."
the plot thickens
Kelemen is dead i guess. This is 200 Years ago. But maybe they settle down somewhere and the children, childrens childrens are still there.
What if those that escaped formed the Scriveners Clan? They might have found more artifacts, ruins, etc and settled down in isolation to avoid being hunted down by Pharmasapien.
edit: damn if this turn out to be the case you heard it here first in the forum bois

That’d be a cool twist. Are dredgers self sufficient? From a game perspective I know we don’t need to eat/drink/sleep... but assuming NPCs would, there might be a base or supply depot or something around?
turns Cobra III around
from the wiki:
"The Dredger is a type of Bulk Cruiser Megaship. They scour the galaxy for salvage to sell or repurpose, and after stripping their quarry clean, they use the large intake and grinder mechanisms mounted on their bows to break up ships, structural fragments, and even asteroids into manageable pieces for further processing. Many Dredgers are run by insular clans who live aboard their ships and develop their own eccentric micro-cultures over the course of decades and centuries."
So yeah, apparently they are self-sufficient :O
No, my laptop wont run Discord any more, but from what @Ian Doncaster said earlier there are and have been other megaships and other POI in asteroid belts for quite some time
Who knows how much is out there? Frontier are good at keeping these sorts of things secret until somebody finds them or they need to give us a hint to move the story along for some reason. We do know sometimes when things have been added from Patch Notes, but not what or where or how much. Would be just like them to hide lots of things at the same time as one big 'secret' that they expect us to find quickly (Thargoids / Guardians) so we think we found it and we haven't even scratched the surface of what they might have put in at the same time.
Its partly why the game and some mysteries have lasted decades. Their official stance recently has been 'We cant comment on something that hasn't been found by Cmdrs'.
I don’t recall Thargoids being in this part of space but guess it’s time to map this area now.
