Mystery's continuation: New message from ''Salvation''

[Spacerschoice-00]

Went to the listening post from find the Hesperus in the Taurus dark region, I'm certain that those listening posts have nothing to do with the 17 beacons.

 

[Mrat13]

Kumo Crew, I presume? One of Archon Delaine's new stations is out that way.

No, detention facilty.

 

[Sublime]

Is this only in Horizons? I logged on today in EDO but never got those messages. I did complete the previous quest as well.

Edit: Nevermind, it’s there now, but there was no incoming message alert and it didn’t even show as unread. Oh well.

I got the message in Odyssey.

 

[Surdra]

Got my message in EDO. Had to relog for it to pop but it did.

We still at one beacon so far?

 

[Spacerschoice-00]

The spreadsheet is getting updated, check the tabs below.

I cannot get that to load on my set up. So not sure where we at.

Beacon 10 was found by The Shrike in Witch head sector OT-Q B5-0 and confirmed by other CMDRs.

The Spreadsheet will probably rest for some hours.
Spredsheet is getting updated soon, I guess 15-30 mins

 

[Barnaby Barnabus]

Hold on: The Alexandria goes missing, and only then do we get this egg hunt. I wonder if both are in the same place?

That would be a little much, but there does seem to be a good chance of a common thread between events. Lore seems to indicate the Hesperus was looking for "non-human artifacts" which would get the thargoid's attention much like the Alexandria just did.

But the Hesperus didn't attract the Thargoids, it attracted the Dredgers. Unless the two are linked.....

Beacon 01 - HIP 44101
Beacon 10 - Witch Head Sector OT-Q B5-0
Beacon 11 - Horsehead Sector CB-O b6-0
Beacon 12 - Flame Sector PI-T b3-0

They will probably be coming thick and fast now, speeding up as more are found.

 

[Phill P]

And as I say that, beacon 13 - NGC 1999 Sector HN-S B4-0

Is the content kinda similar between beacons? Screenshot before didn't really seem to contain any info of interest.

So far the messages have been identical except for the transmitter ID.

They all say AZB2/H002255/TX-B-[number] where [number] is the beacon number. H002255 is the ID of the Hesperus as noted by Ian and others in this thread.

So, these aren't clues rather it's building a trajectory to follow. So we could start at beacon 13?

According to information from the Cannon group, they are already looking for beacon 17. Beacon 16 is located at Col 69 Sector VK-E c12-10.

The Cannon group has done an incredible job.

I'm pretty sure Frontier has made a mistake with beacon 15 and 16 positioning, they don't follow the pre-established rules.

 

[CMDR Surdra]

Beacon 17 already found. (Not by me, I just happened to be nearby.)
COL 69 Sector LY-H C10-0 A

I'm at that 1, the text says 15

Edit: Guess I'll start near orion nebula

Current thinking is that 15 and 16 may be swapped in error but they are reserving judgement until all of them are found.

Hesperus was scuttled by sleeper agents from a rival biotech company. Dredgers merely found the derelict remains and scavenged what was left. It's a bit weird how far it drifted from its apparent "last known" position based on beacon #17 (Col 69 Sector LY-H C10-0), though. I'm not saying thargoids had anything to do with the ship's destruction, but the beacon-route's proximity to the horsehead nebula and the timing of the Alexandria disappearance makes me suspect a common thread.
