Life Carries On
I have reestablished my observation posts within the Labyrinth to monitor the spatial anomalies and gather more data to compare with the Talocan structures. I have Three observation stations at various locations reporting back to a data collection station near the Sun.

The collation point has an Anema Bluechip in case anything untoward should occur. At least that should retain all the data, provided I can secure it from the site.
With these in place I should be able to get a good continuous feed of data and, as various ships pass through see the changes that entail.
I then intend to locate some of the Talocan Static gates and set up a similar group of units and compare.
This should enable me to answer some of the questions on the possible links between the two anomalies and further see if there are potential links between the Talocan and Takmahl.

I find myself also thinking of the words of Dr Valate, that maybe the Takmahl came across the remains of the Talocan and this is what drove them to their levels so quickly. However, in turn she postulates that could have Talocan or sleepers have returned to destroy the Takmahl.
I have been thinking of the events surrounding the rise and fall of the warped empire of Sansha Kuvakei. Are their parallels there to the sudden rise and fall. Could this give a hint to the fate of the Takmahl? Could this even be a lead into my search for the Scepter and Crown?

Prisoner of the mundane
JI have not progressed the project. For the past few weeks I have been caught in running the Societies industrial program. The production of ships and items enables us to take on our better works. This makes it Important Works and I do enjoy such. However, it does keep me from the project.
Further the events of the last wee while have further taken my attention. The strange goings on with Hilen Tukoss and the Arek'jaalan project was one thing. Then the discovery of the bright star being called Catherine's Star. I recall this just before the reappearance of of the Empress and her deliverance of the Empire from the depredation of the tribals
All these events have me pouring over news ACN, galnet forums and archives. What this means and what may become have me enthralled.
Lastly the events in the war zone have been the final distraction. The liberation of Huola by our forces is truly magnificent. I recall a discussion with Alexa about the horror that those living in the conditions on planet deal with. I find myself thinking of what I can do to ease the pain they endure.
By God there are so many things I should be doing but I stead I am sitting reading Galnet and crunching production numbers. What to do.

Strive and Providence will provide
The abstract of Project Theseus |
A post from a past member of the Arek'Jaalan group had posted seeking to reactivate the research group. Furthermore Dr Valate had posted that she was prepared for taking up her role as archivist again. This had given me the opening I have been praying for.
Then shortly after the Empire issued a request for Capsuleers to obtain various items from Sleeper stations and their ships. I had a number of these from my time living in Anoikis and surged back into wormholes to obtain what more I could. Contributing to the cause.
I then had another meeting with the Directors of the Society seeking to be able to reestablish contact with Dr Valate in context of the restart of Arek'Jaalan and the links to the sleeper race. In light of the Empires call and the obvious inference that new lines of research and technology may be forthcoming It was approved!
I now have to recontact her and hope my abrupt break off has not caused any ructions.
A night at the Museum
The Museum Arcana- A site of the Takmahl |
I have again ventured in to the ancient site of the Museum Arcana, supervised under the watchful eyes of the Theology Council. While they watch over the sort of documents and artefacts that are dragged from the ruins of the area they do not step in when one researcher attacks another As such I was able to rely on the assistance of another capsuleer called Grease PaYN. I swear that the other races seem to have the most peculiar names.
After several hours of collection I had a wide range of data for further investigation. There were a number of items the Theology Council impounded but, on the surface they did not seem to hold any data on what i sought.
I have had several weeks to review that data and have learnt quite a bit about the society and culture of the Takmahl but no mention of the artefacts I am looking for. One of the papers I recovered from "Site One" of the Arek'Jaalan project mentions a site near the sun in Aphi which has a site believed to be of significance. It is called "the Labyrinth" Apparantly it is a vast site consisting of multiple connected gates through which a particulart path must be taken to reach the primary location. I feel this is the next logical step in my search, however there is a complication.
The archivist of the project which produced the paper is none other than Dr Valate, of whom I have had to cut myself off due to her associations with the Sabik. I must look into this site in more depth but the paper I obtained for the archives at Site One does not sufficient information for me to be comfortable with an attempt. I need to find greater information
I just hope this is not the end of my search.

Strength through Unity, Unity through Faith
I have had the meeting with my superiors in the Society. It went better than I had thought. It is not my search they have questioned but rather my dealings with Dr Valate. The texts she has sent me are classified as heretical by the Theology Council. This has the potential to raise issues for the Society and for myself.
I have been lucky in that Ms Aspenstar was once a Paladin in service to the Council dealing in just these kinds of issues. With her counsel on how these would be perceived and acted on I know this is accurate and not driven by over reaction. As a result I have turned over the text to the Theology Council for destruction. I have also publicly decried these texts on the Intergalactic Summit so any of the Councils watchers can see.
This does mean I do not have access to what it held but that is a small price to pay. I am sure through direct investigation of the sites in Araz I can discover information without being tainted by their teachings. I had hoped the council would see such ancient writings as beyond that but such is the way of things. However the Council has defended the Empire for this long with it's approach so who am I to question that!
I shall soon launch another expedition into the Museum Arcana and see what I can learn. From hereon I shall ensure to not lose sight of the responsibility I bear to protect the faith in all respects.
