UA Mystery thread 4 - The Canonn

I know lots of people are accepting this theory, but nobody has attempted to explain how Warkushanui came out top of the list.
I remember in one of the earlier threads there was talk of using hafnium to somehow control the damage done by UAs. Now I am aware it didn't help in a cargo hold, but maybe it would at a station?
Anyone seen a hafnium convoy in weeks?

Warkushanui Scour Test : Session 1
Warkushanui - Mainly as close to Gerucha as I can get.
SSS x 11 (Pirate + SysSec x2, Pirate x4, HE Convoy x 2, Halfnium Convoy x 1, Medical Convoy x 1, No Show x 1)
USS x 8 (Crap Pirates x 6, Trader x2)
WSS x 14 (Junk x 9, Lone Ship x 5)
SW x 3 (OEP x 2, OEP Multiple x 1)
Still Scouring, may not bother with USS for much longer

Rizal did say that all the UA sounds were heavily analyzed, but I'm still hearing different parts of its sound. So for me its cool. Kobal pointed out the tones(Example here https://youtu.be/Y6fUMTqVYkU?t=2m40s )
If you listen to the whole thing, these tones sound around the short growls leading to the big honk. They don't repeat. Not saying anything is or isn't there. It was new to me
I'm not denigrating or criticising your approach because you've come to your discovery independently. You've shown you've got a good ear and we need good ears listening.
The notes/tones within the howls was discussed by a number of us back in May.
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=142912
The bottom line was that there are 2 similar but distinctly different howls if you listen carefully. The reason or purpose hadn't been worked out, but it was noticed that they alternate every audio sequence.
If you can elaborate on what you've already done and maybe use that thread for clues to follow or pitfalls to avoid, all of us will be very grateful for anything new you can add.
I've got another 18 from goemon on my ship to bank, I need to arrange to meet with delmonte and outspan this weekend to add to stockpile.
Nearly got them all now
The original plan was to have them all on one ship and do various UA tests, but with the latest developments looks like we will be also selling them at one of the affected stations
What about Sothis Crystalline Gold? I hope you're taking it with you as well.
Something in my brain is telling me that that Metal could be of some use against the UA damage... and it's a new rare item, introduced recently...

HIP 22347, ~141Ly
Hyades Y0-A C18, 143.56Ly
HIP 12278, 135.83Ly (4 UAs, one per visit in system)
Aries FW-W D1-78, 139.08Ly (2 UAs, one per visit)
27 Arietis, 141.16Ly
??forgot??, 139.06Ly
No UAs found for a brief searching:
HIP 23423, 154.75Ly
HIP 23085, 150.3Ly
HIP 11797, 153.05Ly

Aries YK-0 B6-2, 136.63Ly
All UAs pointed to Merope. 10 UAs sold at same undisclosed station.
Almost all non-UA strong signal sources had "medical convoy" with cargo: performance enhancers (5t), proginetor cells (5-8t), scientific research (1t), occupied escape pod (4t)

Warkushanui is somehow different it seems.
The second report about the issues writes:
"As the technical problems in Warkushanui intensify, some commentators have drawn attention to the fact that the number of anomalous extraterrestrial objects (or AEOs) discovered in the system has recently increased."
Also the issues seem to affect all stations in the system.

and thus endeth the Canonn. We shone briefly, but oh so Bright. No regrets
It's Bond Hub that has the black market. Thompson should be safe for now.
Is there a list of all the [rare] commodities that have been sold in at Gaiman Dock, 49 Arietis, or at other malfunctioning stations in an attempt to find a 'cure'? We need to find the cure for this quickly, regardless of what caused it, and a list of what has been tried would be invaluable (including salvage items). Should such a list go in an update to one of the summary posts in this thread or the Canonn website?
I would guess that we will only discover the result through a Galnet article telling us what worked and there's no knowing how long that could take to materialise after the correct cargo is sold (if selling the correct cargo is the way it is to be cured, like is was for the Cerberus plague). Is there another way it might be cured? Might completing certain missions at these stations help? (I some 'repair our station' and donation missions at Gaiman Dock yesterday after delivering my cargo of rares and wonder if it might at least buy them a bit of time).
To reiterate the list of rares I have so far delivered to Gaiman Dock (without requiring anyone so search back to where I list them in post 51), they are:
AZ Cancri Formula 42
Havasupai Dream Catcher
HIP Organophosphates
Xihe Biomorphic Companions
Jaradharre Puzzle Box
Toxandji Virocide

That's only because everyone tried to be on the first page!
I'm aiming for page 10.

Sorry if I'm mistaken- isn't it logical to assume that black markets store their goods in a different place than the regular commodities marked uses?
If so, selling rare goods to the vanilla market might not work- the black marked needs to deposit the "cure" in the same place as they would have placed the UAs, for the object to have an effect.

Oh I accept that UA are the culprits, I just dont see the logic that Selling UAs is the culprit.
Wow!
I have been taking a long break from all of this for studies and i am amazed by all of your work, especially the work on this community/group and thats really what matters
I wonder how far the power of "well we cant stop now" will take us, what will CIRG (is that a thing?) look like in 2 years? Who knows, maybe it will be an order of spacefaring monks carrying these threads printed out and bound in tomes, reciting posts as prayers and psalms. Maybe a splinter faction will have formed from the "one clue"-ism movement, cutting out their eyes (ingame somehow) and casting aside all but water worlds, listening for answers in submarine-spaceships (maybe we will have those by then).
edit: you are an awesome bunch!

Just catching up on the Canonn, it's very exiting stuff.
I wonder (having not visited it yet) - the Merope system, does it have any planetary bodies in it?
If so, do you think perhaps the Devs are planning that in 1.5 when we can land on them, there'll be something more related to this mystery to discover on one of those planets' surfaces?
I'm heading out that way in my Explorer Asp at the moment, might try and bag my first UA - always been scared of dropping into SSS's in the Asp though (unshielded, no weapons) because of the convoy/ambush threat - are these no longer around?

Yep, thats my most solid theory ATM. UA Listening Post on a Moon in Merope.
As long as you are in the shell (135-145ly from Merope) you should be safe enough. Shieldless and Chaffless isnt really a sensible option any more (if it ever was)

<tinfoilhat on="true">
"discovered" is an interesting phrasing, guessing most of the UA has been sold there. Is there really free floating UA's in the system, ready for discovery, or is selling in this case the same as discovery?
</tinfoilhat>
Based on the Galnet articles.
First report from 49 Ari: "First they take those alien pods there, and then there's a complete technical breakdown"
No report of UAs discovered in the system there.
