Chosen from a pool of hundreds of applicants, archaeologist Lorenzo Chernov proposed the exploration of a secluded debris field he discovered in the Idris system.\n\nHere are excerpts from his logs.\n\nBEGIN RECORDS:\n2948.02.17_05:48 SET\nOk, here we go. Day one of exploring. Wonder what I should call this place. If this was an official UEE Archaeological Society expedition, it\u2019d probably get something generic, like \u2018Debris Field 8514J-Idris system\u2019. At least I\u2019ve landed on a name for this new salvage ship. This one feels like Amaira to me. I\u2019d like to give a big shout out to the folks at Drake for letting me try it out. Of course, they did have a bunch of stipulations, including that I record this audio log to track my adventures and what I like about the ship, what could be improved, and so on.\n\nPlus, if this debris field is truly more than just a bunch of modern scrap, like I believe it is, then they\u2019ll also get credit for making this mission happen. Definitely couldn\u2019t run this op without Amaira\u2019s help. No way I could afford to outfit the expedition with a Reclaimer, let alone the cost of crewing one.\n\nI finished a general set of scans yesterday, so there\u2019s a clear picture of how all the pieces were found. Analyzing them last night, I noticed a few larger pieces of detritus near the middle. They look like parts of a fuselage, maybe even a cockpit. They might be my best bet to determine what ships were involved, and more importantly, what era this wreckage is from. The debris is really dense around those pieces, so EVAing to them could be problematic. The last thing I want to do is upset the balance of materials and create a collision cascade. As Professor Haley used to say, \u201cbetter to take your time than ruin the find.\u201d\n\nFirst thing this morning, I charted a path through the wreckage, but it\u2019s going to take some work to get there. My initial estimate is that there are probably ten to fifteen ships here. Plus, there\u2019s most likely additional material from vessels that were involved, but made it to safety.\n\nEven though the picture isn\u2019t clear yet, I get a gnawing feeling that this isn\u2019t just the fallout of some racer kids gone stupid. Or a deal gone bad.\n\nThen again, I\u2019ve said that before\u2026\n\nAll right, Amaira let\u2019s get to work.\n\n2948.02.28_20:34 SET\nAmaira and I just returned from another run to Tanys. Sold the latest round of scrap and resupplied. Gotta remember to take the next load to a different shop. The desk jockey at Dumper\u2019s remembered me and made conversation. Hopefully I didn\u2019t say too much. Hate to have half the scrappers in the system turn up looking to score. I will say it was nice to talk to someone instead of just rambling into this thing all day long.\n\nI probably didn\u2019t need to leave Tanys heading in the wrong direction before making a series of random jumps back here. Mom always said I was overly cautious.\n\nThat applies here too. I\u2019m doing everything by the book. EVAing over to every piece of debris, carefully scanning and cataloging it, and then determining if it\u2019s worth saving or salvaging. So far, there\u2019s been a lot less worth holding onto than I hoped. Nothing I\u2019ve kept is actually important, just material sample for later analysis.\n\nOh wait, I almost forget, the Dumper\u2019s clerk did mention something interesting. I guess the composition of the alloys I brought in last time was a bit unusual. I tried to play it cool and not press her for too many details, but that\u2019s gotta be a good sign, right? I know ship manufacturers have adjusted their specs over the centuries thanks to technological advances, changes to their supply chain, or a whole bunch of other factors. A part of me wants to send a piece of debris for further analysis, but it\u2019ll have to wait. I\u2019m already cutting my budget pretty thin. The stuff I\u2019m scrapping has been just enough to stay stocked on essentials and keep Amaira functional.\n\nHonestly, I really couldn\u2019t have done any of this without Amaira. So far I\u2019ve got nothing but positive feedback on the Vulture. The tractor beam is super sticky, and the industrial-grade scraper chews through materials like a charm. Living quarters are even comfortable enough to make me forget I\u2019m floating in some long-forgotten part of Idris, surrounded by a dozen or so ships that dueled to the death.\n\nThere is the smell, though. Not that it\u2019s terrible, but if you folks at Drake do listen to this, couldn\u2019t hurt to think about upgrading the O2 scrubbers a bit. Then again, maybe I\u2019m just a little bit riper than average.\n\nTime to grab a few hours of shut-eye, and get back to it.\n\n2948.03.03_13:23 SET\nDamn it, that did not go as planned.\n\nWell, the good news is I was right. That big piece was definitely from a cockpit, looked like it was from an early Aegis ship too. Some of the control panel was still intact. Haven\u2019t seen many like it, so I EVAed over for a better look.\n\nThat\u2019s when I saw a piece of debris unlike any other, distinctly designed to look like a big feather. At that moment, I forgot all about the cockpit. That distinctive piece meant a Prowler was part of the wreckage.\n\nThink I went woozy for a second before my rational brain began wondering about the cost to get the feather piece analyzed. There\u2019s always a chance it\u2019s a replica, since Esperia makes theirs so damn close to the real deal.\n\nIn my excitement, I redirected around the cockpit, completely forgetting that I hadn\u2019t cleared the other side. For a second, I took my eyes off where I was going to change my suit\u2019s scanner settings. Suddenly, I felt this dark presence above me. I looked up and slammed face first into a giant piece of metal debris.\n\nIt scared the hell out of me. I even thought I was partially blinded, only to later realize I\u2019d cracked my faceplate. Luckily, the seal held. Needless to say, I overreacted. Course corrected back the way I came way too hard and way too fast. That slammed me into the cockpit piece, sending it spinning swiftly away, down the path I\u2019d conveniently spent clearing these past weeks.\n\nEverything inside of me wanted to take off after it. But that second collision really messed up my helmet. Guess I should\u2019ve splurged for a better one, because this one started beeping about a \u2018critical failure\u2019, forcing me back here to patch it before it was too late.\n\nI really messed up that last walk. That chunk of the cockpit is lost to the void and I didn\u2019t even get a good scan of it. Still, I can\u2019t stop smiling.\n\nI think I\u2019ve found a lost battle site from the First Tevarin War.\n\n2948.03.03_22:09 SET\nIt took some work, but I got that piece of the Prowler into the hold. I don\u2019t want to lose it, but it\u2019s also taking up more space than I\u2019d like. Keeping it back there will definitely cut into my bottom line when Amaira and I make runs to Tanys. Might have to find a place around here to leave it when heading back to civilization. It\u2019s not an ideal solution, but I don\u2019t want anyone to see it and start wondering why it\u2019s not being scrapped. If I can swing the credits, it\u2019d be worth setting up a mooring drone as a temporary fix. Then I could safely float any other large finds until I\u2019m ready to hire a transport.\n\nDespite the cockpit debacle earlier, I\u2019d say today was a success. Tomorrow, I\u2019ll start clearing a path to the piece that looks like it\u2019s from a fuselage. Maybe I\u2019ll find a few more pieces of the Prowler, if I\u2019m lucky.\n\n2948.03.08_01:36 SET\nWell, I finally made it to that large piece of debris. It was definitely part of a fuselage. Spent hours inspecting it, but couldn\u2019t find any maker\u2019s marks. A part of me wanted to save it for further analysis, but to be honest, I really need the creds from the scrap. My trips to Tanys are becoming less and less frequent as I spend more time inspecting the stuff I\u2019ve found. It\u2019s becoming harder and harder to decide what\u2019s worth saving and what\u2019s safe to feed to the Vulture. Hell, it would\u2019ve been nice if Drake had thrown in some supplies to save me the trouble, but I guess they wanted to see how she handled on the day-to-day.\n\nAnyway, I felt bad having Amaira cut it into pieces, though I made sure it was properly scanned and cataloged before doing so. Despite the heartache, gotta say the scraping laser\u2019s been a joy. Gonna take the scrap to Tanys tomorrow then come back here and keep searching.\n\n2948.03.15_18:47 SET\nAnother day with nothing to report. Everything I came across was scrap. I figured by now I would have part of a component or something, anything, that could tell me more about what happened here. This is getting pretty darn frustrating.\n\nEvery day I stare at the Prowler piece and wonder when I\u2019m going to find more. My working theory is that the rest of it was blown into unidentifiably small bits. Either way, based on the accumulated amount of wreckage I\u2019ve found, if this is a lost battle site, then it\u2019s pretty clear who came out on top.\n\nTo be honest, the lack of debris from Tevarin ships worries me. There\u2019s a lingering fear that maybe this was just a random skirmish between gangs and one of them happened to have a new Prowler. I hope that\u2019s not the case, but every day I don\u2019t find something significant, I grow a little more worried that I\u2019ve been wasting my time picking through random debris from a week ago.\n\nI\u2019m understanding why so many of my colleagues prefer digging planetside. The dating is so much easier.\n\n2948.03.19_05:22 SET\nToday was\u2026 well, technically yesterday, was the day I\u2019ve been waiting for. After weeks of slowly shifting through random debris, I finally found something undeniably significant \u2013 a black box.\n\nI rushed it back to Amaira and immediately started my examination. When the date of the last log popped up, I\u2026 ok, I\u2019ll admit it, I freaked out. I screamed. I jumped around until I was out of breath. The last recorded date on it was October 1, 2544.\n\nThat\u2019s right, not only is this wreckage from the First Tevarin War, it\u2019s actually from the Battle of Idris IV. The infamous Operation Nemesis that was almost a complete disaster until a young Ivar Messer turned the tides of the battle and arguably the entire war.\n\nOnce I calmed down, I dug through the logs to figure out why these ships ended up all the way out here. From what I can tell, this spot became a rallying point. These ships fell back here to regroup after surviving the surprise attack by the Tevarin\u2019s planetary defense system. I\u2019m not exactly sure what happened once they were all here, but it obviously didn\u2019t turn out well for them.\n\nI really should get to sleep, but there are still so many things to figure out. Like, should I report the discovery right away, or wait until I\u2019m done examining the entire debris field? Feels weird to walk away in the middle of exploring it, but I could probably land some grants to hire a proper crew. That would make examining the rest of the debris so much easier, but probably take months to organize. Not sure if I can handle waiting that long before finding out what else is out here\u2026\n\nI should really send my Mom a comm too. She\u2019s gonna lose it when she finds out I was right. Maybe I should take Amaira back to Tanys tomorrow and send it via a secure comm to ensure it doesn\u2019t get hacked. What\u2026 a\u2026 day!!\n\nLorenzo Chernov\u2019s discovery brought further clarity to the fog of war surrounding the Battle of Idris IV. Careful examination of the discovered black box revealed that the wreckage was mainly members of the 12th Squadron. Their fate was previously unknown, though many historians assumed they had been destroyed by Tevarin planetary defenses. This site proved they had survived the initial assault and were in the midst of planning a counterstrike when they came under attack from Tevarin forces.\n\nThough the Prowler debris proved to be authentic, no other Tevarin ship pieces were found. While the site clarified the fate of the 12th Squadron, it is hoped that further research may reveal how they were so handily wiped out in this small corner of space. The recovered ship remains have been transferred to the Naval Museum on MacArthur, where plans are in progress for them to be placed on display.","de_DE":"In Erwartung der Ver\u00f6ffentlichung des Geiers hat sich Drake Interplanetary mit Discovered abgestimmt, um eine Reihe von erfahrenen Aasfressern fr\u00fche Modelle f\u00fcr Tests im Feld zur Verf\u00fcgung zu stellen. Der Arch\u00e4ologe Lorenzo Chernov, ausgew\u00e4hlt aus einem Pool von Hunderten von Bewerbern, schlug die Erforschung eines abgelegenen Schuttfeldes vor, das er im Idris-System entdeckte.\n\nHier sind Ausz\u00fcge aus seinen Aufzeichnungen.\n\nANFANG DER AUFZEICHNUNGEN:\n2948.02.17_05:48 GESETZT\nOk, los geht's. Tag eins des Erkundens. Ich frage mich, wie ich diesen Ort nennen soll. Wenn dies eine offizielle Expedition der UEE Archaeological Society w\u00e4re, w\u00fcrde sie wahrscheinlich etwas Allgemeines bekommen, wie z.B.'Debris Field 8514J-Idris System'. Wenigstens bin ich auf einem Namen f\u00fcr dieses neue Bergungsschiff gelandet. Ich glaube, sie nennen es offiziell den Geier, aber dieser hier f\u00fchlt sich f\u00fcr mich wie Amaira an. Ich m\u00f6chte den Leuten in Drake einen gro\u00dfen Applaus aussprechen, weil sie mich es ausprobieren lie\u00dfen. Nat\u00fcrlich hatten sie eine Reihe von Bedingungen, darunter, dass ich dieses Audiolog aufnehme, um meine Abenteuer zu verfolgen und was mir an dem Schiff gef\u00e4llt, was verbessert werden k\u00f6nnte und so weiter.\n\nPlus, wenn dieses Schuttfeld wirklich mehr als nur ein Haufen moderner Schrotte ist, wie ich glaube, dann werden sie auch Anerkennung daf\u00fcr erhalten, dass sie diese Mission verwirklicht haben. Ohne Amairas Hilfe k\u00f6nnte diese Operation definitiv nicht stattfinden. Ich konnte es mir nicht leisten, die Expedition mit einem Reclaimer auszustatten, geschweige denn mit den Kosten f\u00fcr die Besatzung.\n\nIch habe gestern eine allgemeine Reihe von Scans abgeschlossen, so dass es ein klares Bild davon gibt, wie alle St\u00fccke gefunden wurden. Als ich sie gestern Abend analysierte, bemerkte ich ein paar gr\u00f6\u00dfere St\u00fccke von Detritus in der N\u00e4he der Mitte. Sie sehen aus wie Teile eines Rumpfes, vielleicht sogar ein Cockpit. Sie k\u00f6nnten meine beste Wahl sein, um festzustellen, welche Schiffe beteiligt waren, und vor allem, aus welcher Zeit dieses Wrack stammt. Die Ablagerungen um diese Teile herum sind wirklich dicht, so dass es problematisch sein k\u00f6nnte, sie zu bearbeiten. Das Letzte, was ich tun m\u00f6chte, ist, das Gleichgewicht der Materialien zu st\u00f6ren und eine Kollisionskaskade zu erzeugen. Wie Professor Haley immer sagte: \"Nimm dir lieber Zeit, als den Fund zu ruinieren.\"\n\nAls erstes habe ich heute Morgen einen Weg durch das Wrack gezeichnet, aber es wird einige Arbeit erfordern, um dorthin zu gelangen. Meine erste Sch\u00e4tzung ist, dass es hier wahrscheinlich zehn bis f\u00fcnfzehn Schiffe gibt. Au\u00dferdem gibt es h\u00f6chstwahrscheinlich zus\u00e4tzliches Material von Schiffen, die beteiligt waren, es aber in Sicherheit gebracht haben.\n\nAuch wenn das Bild noch nicht klar ist, habe ich das nagende Gef\u00fchl, dass dies nicht nur der Nachteil einiger dumm gewordener Rennfahrer-Kinder ist. Oder ein schlecht gelaufener Deal.\n\nAndererseits habe ich das schon einmal gesagt.....\n\nIn Ordnung, Amaira, lass uns an die Arbeit gehen.\n\n2948.02.28_20:34 GESETZT\nAmaira und ich sind gerade von einem anderen Lauf zu Tanys zur\u00fcckgekehrt. Verkaufte die neueste Runde Schrott und wurde wieder geliefert. Man muss daran denken, die n\u00e4chste Ladung in einen anderen Laden zu bringen. Der Schreibtischjockey bei Dumper's erinnerte sich an mich und f\u00fchrte Gespr\u00e4che. Hoffentlich habe ich nicht zu viel gesagt. Ich hasse es, wenn die H\u00e4lfte der Abwrackpratzen im System auftaucht und nach Punkten sucht. Ich werde sagen, dass es sch\u00f6n war, mit jemandem zu reden, anstatt den ganzen Tag lang in diese Sache einzutauchen.\n\nIch musste Tanys wahrscheinlich nicht in die falsche Richtung gehen lassen, bevor ich eine Reihe von zuf\u00e4lligen Spr\u00fcngen hier hinten machte. Mom hat immer gesagt, dass ich \u00fcberm\u00e4\u00dfig vorsichtig bin.\n\nDas gilt auch hier. Ich mache alles nach Vorschrift. Wir gehen auf jedes St\u00fcck Tr\u00fcmmerst\u00fcck \u00fcber, scannen und katalogisieren es sorgf\u00e4ltig und bestimmen dann, ob es sich lohnt, es zu retten oder zu bergen. Bisher gab es viel weniger, an denen man sich festhalten konnte, als ich gehofft hatte. Nichts, was ich aufbewahrt habe, ist eigentlich wichtig, nur Materialprobe f\u00fcr die sp\u00e4tere Analyse.\n\nOh, warte, ich verga\u00df fast, der Angestellte des Dumpers hat etwas Interessantes erw\u00e4hnt. Ich sch\u00e4tze, die Zusammensetzung der Legierungen, die ich letztes Mal mitgebracht habe, war etwas ungew\u00f6hnlich. Ich habe versucht, es cool zu spielen und sie nicht f\u00fcr zu viele Details zu dr\u00e4ngen, aber das muss ein gutes Zeichen sein, oder? Ich wei\u00df, dass die Schiffshersteller ihre Spezifikationen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte dank des technologischen Fortschritts, der Ver\u00e4nderungen in ihrer Lieferkette oder einer ganzen Reihe anderer Faktoren angepasst haben. Ein Teil von mir will ein St\u00fcck Tr\u00fcmmer zur weiteren Analyse schicken, aber es muss warten. Ich k\u00fcrze bereits mein Budget ziemlich d\u00fcnn. Das Zeug, das ich verschrotte, war gerade genug, um mit dem Notwendigsten versorgt zu bleiben und Amaira funktionsf\u00e4hig zu halten.\n\nEhrlich gesagt, ohne Amaira h\u00e4tte ich das alles wirklich nicht geschafft. Bis jetzt habe ich nichts anderes als positives Feedback \u00fcber den Geier. Der Traktorstrahl ist super klebrig, und der industrietaugliche Schaber kaut wie ein Zauber durch Materialien. Die Wohnr\u00e4ume sind sogar so komfortabel, dass ich vergessen werde, dass ich in einem l\u00e4ngst vergessenen Teil von Idris treibe, umgeben von etwa einem Dutzend Schiffen, die auf den Tod hinarbeiten.\n\nDa ist jedoch der Geruch. Nicht, dass es schrecklich w\u00e4re, aber wenn Sie Leute bei Drake das h\u00f6ren, k\u00f6nnte es nicht schaden, dar\u00fcber nachzudenken, die O2-W\u00e4scher ein wenig aufzur\u00fcsten. Andererseits bin ich vielleicht nur etwas reifer als der Durchschnitt.\n\nZeit, sich ein paar Stunden mit geschlossenen Augen zu schnappen und weiterzumachen.\n\n2948.03.03.03_13:23 SATZ\nVerdammt, das lief nicht wie geplant.\n\nNun, die gute Nachricht ist, dass ich Recht hatte. Dieses gro\u00dfe St\u00fcck war definitiv aus einem Cockpit, es sah aus wie von einem fr\u00fchen Aegis-Schiff. Einige der Bedienfelder waren noch intakt. Ich habe noch nicht viele davon gesehen, also habe ich mich f\u00fcr einen besseren Blick umgezogen.\n\nDa sah ich ein St\u00fcck Tr\u00fcmmer, wie kein anderes, das eindeutig so gestaltet war, dass es wie eine gro\u00dfe Feder aussah. In diesem Moment habe ich das Cockpit ganz vergessen. Dieses markante St\u00fcck bedeutete, dass ein Prowler Teil des Wracks war.\n\nDenken Sie, dass ich f\u00fcr eine Sekunde benommen wurde, bevor mein rationales Gehirn anfing, sich \u00fcber die Kosten zu wundern, um das Federst\u00fcck analysieren zu lassen. Es besteht immer die M\u00f6glichkeit, dass es sich um eine Nachbildung handelt, da Esperia ihre so nah am echten Deal macht.\n\nIn meiner Aufregung leitete ich um das Cockpit herum und verga\u00df v\u00f6llig, dass ich die andere Seite nicht ger\u00e4umt hatte. F\u00fcr eine Sekunde lie\u00df ich die Augen los, wo ich die Scanner-Einstellungen meines Anzugs \u00e4ndern wollte. Pl\u00f6tzlich sp\u00fcrte ich diese dunkle Pr\u00e4senz \u00fcber mir. Ich blickte auf und schlug mit dem Gesicht zuerst in ein riesiges St\u00fcck Metallr\u00fcckstand.\n\nEs hat mich zu Tode erschreckt. Ich dachte sogar, ich w\u00e4re teilweise geblendet, nur um sp\u00e4ter zu merken, dass ich mir die Frontplatte gebrochen hatte. Gl\u00fccklicherweise hielt das Siegel. Unn\u00f6tig zu sagen, dass ich \u00fcberreagiert habe. Kurs korrigiert zur\u00fcck auf dem Weg, auf dem ich viel zu hart und viel zu schnell kam. Das schlug mich in das Cockpitteil und schickte es schnell weg, auf dem Weg, den ich in den letzten Wochen bequem aufger\u00e4umt hatte.\n\nAlles in mir wollte danach abheben. Aber diese zweite Kollision hat meinen Helm wirklich durcheinander gebracht. Ich sch\u00e4tze, ich h\u00e4tte f\u00fcr einen besseren pl\u00e4tschern sollen, denn dieser fing an, \u00fcber einen \"kritischen Fehler\" zu piepen und zwang mich hierher zur\u00fcck, ihn zu patchen, bevor es zu sp\u00e4t war.\n\nIch habe den letzten Spaziergang wirklich vermasselt. Dieser Teil des Cockpits ist f\u00fcr die Leere verloren und ich habe nicht einmal einen guten Scan davon bekommen. Trotzdem kann ich nicht aufh\u00f6ren zu l\u00e4cheln.\n\nIch glaube, ich habe einen verlorenen Kampfplatz aus dem Ersten Tevarinkrieg gefunden.\n\n2948.03.03.03_22:09 GESETZT\nEs brauchte etwas Arbeit, aber ich habe das St\u00fcck des Prowlers in den Laderaum gebracht. Ich will es nicht verlieren, aber es nimmt auch mehr Platz ein, als ich m\u00f6chte. Es dort hinten zu behalten, wird definitiv in mein Endergebnis einflie\u00dfen, wenn Amaira und ich nach Tanys laufen. M\u00f6glicherweise m\u00fcssen wir hier einen Platz finden, um ihn zu verlassen, wenn wir in die Zivilisation zur\u00fcckkehren. Es ist keine ideale L\u00f6sung, aber ich m\u00f6chte nicht, dass jemand sie sieht und sich fragt, warum sie nicht verschrottet wird. Wenn ich die Credits schwingen kann, lohnt es sich, eine Mooring-Drohne als tempor\u00e4re L\u00f6sung einzurichten. Dann konnte ich alle anderen gro\u00dfen Funde sicher schweben lassen, bis ich bereit bin, einen Transport zu mieten.\n\nTrotz des Cockpit-Debakels vorhin, w\u00fcrde ich sagen, dass der heutige Tag ein Erfolg war. Morgen fange ich an, einen Weg zu dem St\u00fcck zu ebnen, das aussieht, als w\u00e4re es aus einem Rumpf. Vielleicht finde ich noch ein paar weitere St\u00fccke des Prowlers, wenn ich Gl\u00fcck habe.\n\n2948.03.08.08_01:36 GESETZT\nNun, ich habe es endlich bis zu diesem gro\u00dfen St\u00fcck Schutt geschafft. Es war definitiv Teil eines Rumpfes. Ich habe Stunden damit verbracht, es zu inspizieren, konnte aber keine Spuren eines Herstellers finden. Ein Teil von mir wollte es f\u00fcr weitere Analysen aufheben, aber um ehrlich zu sein, brauche ich wirklich die Creds aus dem Schrott. Meine Reisen nach Tanys werden immer seltener, da ich mehr Zeit damit verbringe, die gefundenen Dinge zu untersuchen. Es wird immer schwieriger zu entscheiden, was es wert ist, gerettet zu werden und was sicher an den Geier verf\u00fcttert werden kann. Verdammt, es w\u00e4re sch\u00f6n gewesen, wenn Drake ein paar Vorr\u00e4te hineingeworfen h\u00e4tte, um mir den \u00c4rger zu ersparen, aber ich sch\u00e4tze, sie wollten sehen, wie sie sich im Alltag verh\u00e4lt.\n\nWie auch immer, ich f\u00fchlte mich schlecht, weil Amaira es in St\u00fccke geschnitten hatte, obwohl ich daf\u00fcr gesorgt habe, dass es vorher richtig gescannt und katalogisiert wurde. Trotz des Herzschmerzes, muss ich sagen, dass der Kratzlaser eine Freude war. Wir werden morgen den Schrott zu Tanys bringen, dann kommen wir hierher zur\u00fcck und suchen weiter.\n\n2948.03.15_18:47 GESETZT\nEin weiterer Tag, an dem es nichts zu berichten gibt. Alles, was ich fand, war Schrott. Ich dachte mir, dass ich inzwischen einen Teil eines Bauteils oder so haben w\u00fcrde, irgendetwas, das mir mehr dar\u00fcber sagen k\u00f6nnte, was hier passiert ist. Das wird ziemlich verflixt frustrierend.\n\nJeden Tag starre ich auf die Prowler-St\u00fccke und frage mich, wann ich mehr finden werde. Meine Arbeitstheorie ist, dass der Rest davon in unerkennbare kleine St\u00fccke geblasen wurde. So oder so, basierend auf der angesammelten Menge an Tr\u00fcmmern, die ich gefunden habe, wenn dies ein verlorener Kampfplatz ist, dann ist es ziemlich klar, wer an der Spitze stand.\n\nUm ehrlich zu sein, der Mangel an Tr\u00fcmmern von Tevarin-Schiffen bereitet mir Sorgen. Es gibt eine anhaltende Angst, dass dies vielleicht nur ein zuf\u00e4lliges Gefecht zwischen Banden war und eine von ihnen zuf\u00e4llig einen neuen Prowler hatte. Ich hoffe, dass das nicht der Fall ist, aber jeden Tag finde ich etwas Bedeutendes nicht, ich werde ein wenig besorgter, dass ich meine Zeit damit verschwendet habe, durch zuf\u00e4llige Tr\u00fcmmer von vor einer Woche zu kommissionieren.\n\nIch verstehe, warum so viele meiner Kollegen es vorziehen, auf dem Planeten zu graben. Das Dating ist so viel einfacher.\n\n2948.03.19_05:22 GESETZT\nHeute war... nun, technisch gesehen gestern, war der Tag, auf den ich gewartet habe. Nach Wochen, in denen ich mich langsam durch zuf\u00e4llige Tr\u00fcmmer bewegte, fand ich schlie\u00dflich etwas unbestreitbar Wichtiges - eine Blackbox.\n\nIch eilte zur\u00fcck zu Amaira und begann sofort mit meiner Untersuchung. Als das Datum des letzten Protokolls auftauchte, ich.... ok, ich gebe es zu, ich bin ausgerastet. Ich schrie. Ich sprang herum, bis ich au\u00dfer Atem war. Das letzte aufgezeichnete Datum war der 1. Oktober 2544.\n\nDas ist richtig, nicht nur dieses Wrack aus dem Ersten Tevarinkrieg, sondern auch aus der Schlacht von Idris IV. Die ber\u00fcchtigte Operation Nemesis, die fast eine komplette Katastrophe war, bis ein junger Ivar Messer die Gezeiten der Schlacht und wohl den gesamten Krieg umkehrte.\n\nSobald ich mich beruhigt hatte, grub ich die Logs durch, um herauszufinden, warum diese Schiffe den ganzen Weg hierher gelandet sind. Soweit ich das beurteilen kann, wurde dieser Ort zu einem Sammelpunkt. Diese Schiffe fielen hierher zur\u00fcck, um sich neu zu sammeln, nachdem sie den \u00dcberraschungsangriff des planetarischen Verteidigungssystems der Tevarin \u00fcberlebt hatten. Ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher, was passiert ist, als sie alle hier waren, aber es ist offensichtlich nicht gut f\u00fcr sie ausgegangen.\n\nIch sollte wirklich schlafen gehen, aber es gibt noch so viele Dinge zu kl\u00e4ren. Soll ich die Entdeckung sofort melden oder warten, bis ich das gesamte Schuttfeld untersucht habe? Es f\u00fchlt sich seltsam an, mitten in der Erkundung wegzugehen, aber ich k\u00f6nnte wahrscheinlich ein paar Zusch\u00fcsse bekommen, um eine richtige Crew einzustellen. Das w\u00fcrde die Untersuchung des Restes der Tr\u00fcmmer so viel einfacher machen, aber wahrscheinlich Monate dauern, um sie zu organisieren. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich damit umgehen kann, so lange zu warten, bevor ich herausfinde, was es sonst noch gibt....\n\nIch sollte meiner Mutter wirklich auch einen Comm schicken. Sie wird es verlieren, wenn sie herausfindet, dass ich Recht hatte. Vielleicht sollte ich Amaira morgen zu Tanys zur\u00fcckbringen und \u00fcber eine sichere Verbindung senden, um sicherzustellen, dass sie nicht gehackt wird. Was.... ein.... Tag!!!!\n\nDie Entdeckung von Lorenzo Chernov brachte weitere Klarheit in den Nebel des Krieges um die Schlacht bei Idris IV. Eine sorgf\u00e4ltige Untersuchung der entdeckten Black Box ergab, dass das Wrack haupts\u00e4chlich Mitglieder der 12. Staffel waren. Ihr Schicksal war bisher unbekannt, obwohl viele Historiker annahmen, dass sie von der planetarischen Verteidigung der Tevarin zerst\u00f6rt worden waren. Dieser Ort bewies, dass sie den ersten Angriff \u00fcberlebt hatten und mitten in der Planung eines Gegenangriffs waren, als sie von den Tevarin-Kr\u00e4ften angegriffen wurden.\n\nObwohl sich die Prowler-Tr\u00fcmmer als authentisch erwiesen, wurden keine weiteren Tevarin-Schiffsteile gefunden. W\u00e4hrend der Standort das Schicksal der 12. Staffel gekl\u00e4rt hat, ist zu hoffen, dass weitere Forschungen zeigen werden, wie sie in dieser kleinen Ecke des Raumes so geschickt ausgel\u00f6scht wurden. Die geborgenen Schiffsreste wurden an das Marinemuseum in MacArthur \u00fcbergeben, wo geplant ist, sie zur Schau zu stellen.","zh_CN":"In anticipation of the release of a new version of the Vulture, Drake Interplanetary has coordinated with Discovered to provide a number of experienced scavengers early models to test in the field. Chosen from a pool of hundreds of applicants, archaeologist Lorenzo Chernov proposed the exploration of a secluded debris field he discovered in the Idris system.\n\nHere are excerpts from his logs.\n\nBEGIN RECORDS:\n2948.02.17_05:48 SET\nOk, here we go. Day one of exploring. Wonder what I should call this place. If this was an official UEE Archaeological Society expedition, it\u2019d probably get something generic, like \u2018Debris Field 8514J-Idris system\u2019. At least I\u2019ve landed on a name for this new salvage ship. This one feels like Amaira to me. I\u2019d like to give a big shout out to the folks at Drake for letting me try it out. Of course, they did have a bunch of stipulations, including that I record this audio log to track my adventures and what I like about the ship, what could be improved, and so on.\n\nPlus, if this debris field is truly more than just a bunch of modern scrap, like I believe it is, then they\u2019ll also get credit for making this mission happen. Definitely couldn\u2019t run this op without Amaira\u2019s help. No way I could afford to outfit the expedition with a Reclaimer, let alone the cost of crewing one.\n\nI finished a general set of scans yesterday, so there\u2019s a clear picture of how all the pieces were found. Analyzing them last night, I noticed a few larger pieces of detritus near the middle. They look like parts of a fuselage, maybe even a cockpit. They might be my best bet to determine what ships were involved, and more importantly, what era this wreckage is from. The debris is really dense around those pieces, so EVAing to them could be problematic. The last thing I want to do is upset the balance of materials and create a collision cascade. As Professor Haley used to say, \u201cbetter to take your time than ruin the find.\u201d\n\nFirst thing this morning, I charted a path through the wreckage, but it\u2019s going to take some work to get there. My initial estimate is that there are probably ten to fifteen ships here. Plus, there\u2019s most likely additional material from vessels that were involved, but made it to safety.\n\nEven though the picture isn\u2019t clear yet, I get a gnawing feeling that this isn\u2019t just the fallout of some racer kids gone stupid. Or a deal gone bad.\n\nThen again, I\u2019ve said that before\u2026\n\nAll right, Amaira let\u2019s get to work.\n\n2948.02.28_20:34 SET\nAmaira and I just returned from another run to Tanys. Sold the latest round of scrap and resupplied. Gotta remember to take the next load to a different shop. The desk jockey at Dumper\u2019s remembered me and made conversation. Hopefully I didn\u2019t say too much. Hate to have half the scrappers in the system turn up looking to score. I will say it was nice to talk to someone instead of just rambling into this thing all day long.\n\nI probably didn\u2019t need to leave Tanys heading in the wrong direction before making a series of random jumps back here. Mom always said I was overly cautious.\n\nThat applies here too. I\u2019m doing everything by the book. EVAing over to every piece of debris, carefully scanning and cataloging it, and then determining if it\u2019s worth saving or salvaging. So far, there\u2019s been a lot less worth holding onto than I hoped. Nothing I\u2019ve kept is actually important, just material sample for later analysis.\n\nOh wait, I almost forget, the Dumper\u2019s clerk did mention something interesting. I guess the composition of the alloys I brought in last time was a bit unusual. I tried to play it cool and not press her for too many details, but that\u2019s gotta be a good sign, right? I know ship manufacturers have adjusted their specs over the centuries thanks to technological advances, changes to their supply chain, or a whole bunch of other factors. A part of me wants to send a piece of debris for further analysis, but it\u2019ll have to wait. I\u2019m already cutting my budget pretty thin. The stuff I\u2019m scrapping has been just enough to stay stocked on essentials and keep Amaira functional.\n\nHonestly, I really couldn\u2019t have done any of this without Amaira. So far I\u2019ve got nothing but positive feedback on the Vulture. The tractor beam is super sticky, and the industrial-grade scraper chews through materials like a charm. Living quarters are even comfortable enough to make me forget I\u2019m floating in some long-forgotten part of Idris, surrounded by a dozen or so ships that dueled to the death.\n\nThere is the smell, though. Not that it\u2019s terrible, but if you folks at Drake do listen to this, couldn\u2019t hurt to think about upgrading the O2 scrubbers a bit. Then again, maybe I\u2019m just a little bit riper than average.\n\nTime to grab a few hours of shut-eye, and get back to it.\n\n2948.03.03_13:23 SET\nDamn it, that did not go as planned.\n\nWell, the good news is I was right. That big piece was definitely from a cockpit, looked like it was from an early Aegis ship too. Some of the control panel was still intact. Haven\u2019t seen many like it, so I EVAed over for a better look.\n\nThat\u2019s when I saw a piece of debris unlike any other, distinctly designed to look like a big feather. At that moment, I forgot all about the cockpit. That distinctive piece meant a Prowler was part of the wreckage.\n\nThink I went woozy for a second before my rational brain began wondering about the cost to get the feather piece analyzed. There\u2019s always a chance it\u2019s a replica, since Esperia makes theirs so damn close to the real deal.\n\nIn my excitement, I redirected around the cockpit, completely forgetting that I hadn\u2019t cleared the other side. For a second, I took my eyes off where I was going to change my suit\u2019s scanner settings. Suddenly, I felt this dark presence above me. I looked up and slammed face first into a giant piece of metal debris.\n\nIt scared the hell out of me. I even thought I was partially blinded, only to later realize I\u2019d cracked my faceplate. Luckily, the seal held. Needless to say, I overreacted. Course corrected back the way I came way too hard and way too fast. That slammed me into the cockpit piece, sending it spinning swiftly away, down the path I\u2019d conveniently spent clearing these past weeks.\n\nEverything inside of me wanted to take off after it. But that second collision really messed up my helmet. Guess I should\u2019ve splurged for a better one, because this one started beeping about a \u2018critical failure\u2019, forcing me back here to patch it before it was too late.\n\nI really messed up that last walk. That chunk of the cockpit is lost to the void and I didn\u2019t even get a good scan of it. Still, I can\u2019t stop smiling.\n\nI think I\u2019ve found a lost battle site from the First Tevarin War.\n\n2948.03.03_22:09 SET\nIt took some work, but I got that piece of the Prowler into the hold. I don\u2019t want to lose it, but it\u2019s also taking up more space than I\u2019d like. Keeping it back there will definitely cut into my bottom line when Amaira and I make runs to Tanys. Might have to find a place around here to leave it when heading back to civilization. It\u2019s not an ideal solution, but I don\u2019t want anyone to see it and start wondering why it\u2019s not being scrapped. If I can swing the credits, it\u2019d be worth setting up a mooring drone as a temporary fix. Then I could safely float any other large finds until I\u2019m ready to hire a transport.\n\nDespite the cockpit debacle earlier, I\u2019d say today was a success. Tomorrow, I\u2019ll start clearing a path to the piece that looks like it\u2019s from a fuselage. Maybe I\u2019ll find a few more pieces of the Prowler, if I\u2019m lucky.\n\n2948.03.08_01:36 SET\nWell, I finally made it to that large piece of debris. It was definitely part of a fuselage. Spent hours inspecting it, but couldn\u2019t find any maker\u2019s marks. A part of me wanted to save it for further analysis, but to be honest, I really need the creds from the scrap. My trips to Tanys are becoming less and less frequent as I spend more time inspecting the stuff I\u2019ve found. It\u2019s becoming harder and harder to decide what\u2019s worth saving and what\u2019s safe to feed to the Vulture. Hell, it would\u2019ve been nice if Drake had thrown in some supplies to save me the trouble, but I guess they wanted to see how she handled on the day-to-day.\n\nAnyway, I felt bad having Amaira cut it into pieces, though I made sure it was properly scanned and cataloged before doing so. Despite the heartache, gotta say the scraping laser\u2019s been a joy. Gonna take the scrap to Tanys tomorrow then come back here and keep searching.\n\n2948.03.15_18:47 SET\nAnother day with nothing to report. Everything I came across was scrap. I figured by now I would have part of a component or something, anything, that could tell me more about what happened here. This is getting pretty darn frustrating.\n\nEvery day I stare at the Prowler piece and wonder when I\u2019m going to find more. My working theory is that the rest of it was blown into unidentifiably small bits. Either way, based on the accumulated amount of wreckage I\u2019ve found, if this is a lost battle site, then it\u2019s pretty clear who came out on top.\n\nTo be honest, the lack of debris from Tevarin ships worries me. There\u2019s a lingering fear that maybe this was just a random skirmish between gangs and one of them happened to have a new Prowler. I hope that\u2019s not the case, but every day I don\u2019t find something significant, I grow a little more worried that I\u2019ve been wasting my time picking through random debris from a week ago.\n\nI\u2019m understanding why so many of my colleagues prefer digging planetside. The dating is so much easier.\n\n2948.03.19_05:22 SET\nToday was\u2026 well, technically yesterday, was the day I\u2019ve been waiting for. After weeks of slowly shifting through random debris, I finally found something undeniably significant \u2013 a black box.\n\nI rushed it back to Amaira and immediately started my examination. When the date of the last log popped up, I\u2026 ok, I\u2019ll admit it, I freaked out. I screamed. I jumped around until I was out of breath. The last recorded date on it was October 1, 2544.\n\nThat\u2019s right, not only is this wreckage from the First Tevarin War, it\u2019s actually from the Battle of Idris IV. The infamous Operation Nemesis that was almost a complete disaster until a young Ivar Messer turned the tides of the battle and arguably the entire war.\n\nOnce I calmed down, I dug through the logs to figure out why these ships ended up all the way out here. From what I can tell, this spot became a rallying point. These ships fell back here to regroup after surviving the surprise attack by the Tevarin\u2019s planetary defense system. I\u2019m not exactly sure what happened once they were all here, but it obviously didn\u2019t turn out well for them.\n\nI really should get to sleep, but there are still so many things to figure out. Like, should I report the discovery right away, or wait until I\u2019m done examining the entire debris field? Feels weird to walk away in the middle of exploring it, but I could probably land some grants to hire a proper crew. That would make examining the rest of the debris so much easier, but probably take months to organize. Not sure if I can handle waiting that long before finding out what else is out here\u2026\n\nI should really send my Mom a comm too. She\u2019s gonna lose it when she finds out I was right. Maybe I should take Amaira back to Tanys tomorrow and send it via a secure comm to ensure it doesn\u2019t get hacked. What\u2026 a\u2026 day!!\n\nLorenzo Chernov\u2019s discovery brought further clarity to the fog of war surrounding the Battle of Idris IV. Careful examination of the discovered black box revealed that the wreckage was mainly members of the 12th Squadron. Their fate was previously unknown, though many historians assumed they had been destroyed by Tevarin planetary defenses. This site proved they had survived the initial assault and were in the midst of planning a counterstrike when they came under attack from Tevarin forces.\n\nThough the Prowler debris proved to be authentic, no other Tevarin ship pieces were found. While the site clarified the fate of the 12th Squadron, it is hoped that further research may reveal how they were so handily wiped out in this small corner of space. The recovered ship remains have been transferred to the Naval Museum on MacArthur, where plans are in progress for them to be placed on display."},"links_count":0,"comment_count":33,"created_at":"2018-07-18T00:00:00+00:00","created_at_human":"7 years ago"},"meta":{"processed_at":"2026-04-25 05:18:56","valid_relations":["images","links","translations"],"prev_id":16672,"next_id":16677}}
