Yes, Jaques was found but not the way FD intended.
Buried in local news feeds are messages like this:
Fusang Herald and Ngolibardu Herald - 24 June
Wendigo Herald - 24 June
Edenapel Herald (and Kala) - 24 June
When Cmdr Cly figured out how to find Jaques using the Galaxy Map, he went there and found a whole bunch of log entries in the Jaques system Herald:
Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 Herald - 03 June
Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 Herald - 07 June
Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 Herald - 13 June
Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 Herald - 16 June
Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 Herald - 21 June
Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 Herald - 24 June
We can see how the Fusang Herald item from 24 June matches the 13 June Jaques Herald item:
The start of the second paragraph is the garbled message fragment:
....y...hope ......one ...piece ...all...gether ...help
'My only hope is that someone can piece all this together and send help.'
How does the rest of the Fusang message either help to reconstruct that message or provide some other clue?
The Wendigo Herald message matches the 3 June Jacques Herald message:
Artefact ...Threw me...witch space...No idea...ong I was....time..fluctu...ent...ture all togeth...remember...ferent syst...only for....sec. n..bul..one...then gone....sing...Artefacts...find you.
The Artefacts caused some kind of overload in my engines, threw me into witch space. I've no idea how long I was in there, time seemed to fluctuate. Past, present, future...all mingling together. I remember appearing in different systems, but only for a few seconds. Nebulas, blackholes...there one minute then gone. Logs storing key location data. They sing, the artefacts. I thought that was some crack pot ranting, but when you're out there they sing and then they find you.
How does the Wendigo Hex code provide a clue?
Why look at a mystery that has already been solved?
To get an idea of just how hard FD make it to locate a system that could be anywhere in the galaxy.
We have the answer to the mystery - we know the clues are hidden in the local news - let's figure out the chain of clues and how they give us the answer.
If you want to help, please look at the local news from the start of June at every station you go to and post any entries similar to the Fusang Herald one.
Please post a screenshot of the news item and the distance of the system to Jacques in Eol Prou RS-T d3-94
I don't know if the 'System Herald' is FD's consistent news outlet for mysterious signals but if it is then that will be a clue that this news item is more interesting than the usual stuff.
