############TRANSMISSION BEGINS############
///PILOT [22][Y3amEttIFV9k8eoT0VfziJ][1]/// Hello? Ah.. I do hope this message goes through. I've been stuck in Eris for too long. The boredom got to me and since I happened to acquire some chrono-gears I've been playing around with the passage of time... ... Look, I know it wasn't a good idea. It did cause some sort of anomaly. As soon as I started putting on Translocators, my dashboard showed all sorts of readings and warnings I haven't ever seen before, in spaces I thought were empty. I wonder how much more of the empty space is going to jump out at me telling me I've done something wrong? It really is impossible to tell with this dim light... Hell, why do I even have this thing here? Uhh, in any case. When I powered the Translocators on, the ship made this incredible noise. The air was vibrating but the dashboard was completely still. I made sure to put those things so far away from the command module as well.. The whole ship must have entered a state similar to superfluidity, where the whole thing acted as a single object. When I pushed the accelerator, the noise was gone and all the little spots in the distance that I could and couldn't see suddenly appeared to be incredibly close, as if the distance itself contracted. The whole sector, in its infinite size, squished until all of the ships, stations, asteroids and specks of light were within reach. Haha, who knew there were so many of them? Anyway, so after a short while of this, everything outside simply ceased to exist and I found myself gazing into nothingness. I couldn't even see Eris. I somehow kept getting transmissions though, so I hope this message will have no trouble getting through. Ah, I even hard-reset the configuration, which I thought had no chance in failing. Unfortunately, Eris only flickered before my eyes for a moment before disappearing again. And also, the space outside became visible, but it moved in a chaotic and disorientating way, only to disappear once again, although I'm glad I don't have to look at that at least. And so, I'm still trapped in this void... Or maybe I should say I was freed from the material world? It's definitely a more positive outlook. I feel that maybe if I just reached out a bit further from the cockpit I could see the whole sector, and then I wouldn't feel so lonely... At least other than these annoying transmissions I keep getting from ships I can't even see that are threatening me. I just hope that Eris wasn't going faster than the speed of light. ... Although now that I think about it, how Translocators work is a complete mystery, as far as I know anyway. It's quite possible - in fact, no. I'm almost certain that's what was causing the anomaly. It's possible the Translocators had to create one in order to make Eris go at those speeds.
I'm sending a simulated configuration of my ship at the end of the message to whoever picks up this transmission.
//INSTRUCTIONS// - MOVE TRANSLOCATORS #1 AND #2 TO THE BACK OF THE VESSEL (FURTHEST CHRONO GEAR) - FULL THROTTLE UNTIL SHIP DISAPPEARS - HARD-RESETTING THE SHIP CAN LEAD TO DIZZINESS

//STNCMD [00][stncmd. ecoli.net]/// We hear you, pilot. We have relayed your message to associate stations in the direction of this transmission (assuming you have not jumped off to another sector). Our stations will send repurposed info buoys to detach your ship's translocator modules. Be advised that our info buoys are not unguarded. Also, if you are really incapable of detecting the Eris, our buoys may be unable to detect it themselves. In any case, our stations have already sent the info buoys. Be prepared to lose a lot of parts. |

///PILOT [22][e][1]/// Whew, I'm glad there's someone out here listening to my transmissions.
Although I must be unlucky since it was this kind of station I reached.
Sorry, but sending your info buoys was a waste.
When I hard-reset the configuration of Eris, I lost the translocators. Actually I lost everything but the command module, but the anomaly persisted.
I've been picking up your info buoys' transmissions, but that's about it..
Looks like I'm going to be stuck here for a while. |

///STNCMD [00][stncmd. ecoli.net]/// ...well done, sir. You have broken Eris. Good work. |

HA! I was right! I made a hypothesis about what would happen if too many translocators were added onto the Eris. Congratulations, you have officially broken reality.  |

Just a question: Are any ships targeting you?

///STNCMD [00][stncmd.ecoli.net]/// Just a question: Are any ships targeting you? Yes, ships keep targeting and threatening me, as they usually do. But I can't see them and they're not able to actually attacking me or doing any damage to Eris me from what I can hear. I imagine that I'm only appearing on their radar for a tiny amount of time before disappearing again. |

This is highly worrying. If the Eris is beginning to malfunction there is no telling what can happen from here. We need to evacuate all of the SCHD-installed ships as soon as possible and get them offline. We launched last night heading towards the general area of the Nemesis in an attempt to retrieve it and bring it back to Earth. We did pull out something - after I took over the terminal, triggered the Clone Drive and managed to gather all Kilo-level parts - but whether it is the actual Nemesis is in doubt. I highly recommend someone with the resources to venture to this sector and retrieve the Eris - without killing anyone or anything unnecessarily, if you could.

Tell me the coordinates of the sector.....the Predecessor has thousands of liters of oxygen and Juliett Mk-II Boosters capable of 20% of lightspeed. Oh, and it can't phase through, considering it's the size of a Complex. Auburn, authorization, please? |

Unfortunately I don't know the Eris' sector. The only reason I knew Sector 255, where the Nemesis was when the Sakura reached it, is because I have had much more experience piloting the Nemesis. Not sure what it is, given that it is all dead space, but I've grown to be quite familiar with the sector and its surroundings.
You may want to try...3...24, or maybe 334. If neither of those work, head 351. The Eris is about on the other side of the outer regions...that's all I know. Unfortunately I am not a high-enough authorization to approve such a mission. I'm guaranteeing though that you should be able to get in and out of there without much trouble - unless the SCHD kicks off for whatever reason. Be careful, fellow captain.

Alright...I'll get around to it as soon as possible. And, wait- did the Eris just teleport between two regions of space that are completely isolated? That's.....interesting. |
