After months of research, scientists working for the Canonn Interstellar Research Group observed a change in the transmissions emanating from the so-called 'unknown artefacts', also known as 'anomalous extraterrestrial objects' (or AEOs). Now the organisation believes it has decoded at least part of these strange transmissions. Startlingly, the messages appear to contain schematic diagrams of the ships being used to study the objects.

The breakthrough came when Commander Mike Juliett Kilo was inspired to channel a pre-recorded AEO signal into an antique scanner display system he happened to be transporting. „I was prepared to see an alien face or Thargoid warship,“ he said. „I certainly didn't expect to see a Vulture, especially as I was flying one at the time! It sent shivers down my spine.“

As the number of AEOs encountered in the Aries Dark region increases, the debate over the objects continues.
