FSD Event 44-77-A: Unknown Anomalous Pattern

The jump was routine, star-lines blurring of Witchspace, FSD holding steady, until the usual thrum faded, and the normal background noise of hyperspace fills the cabin.

Then Nova spoke up.

“Commander. Irregular pattern detected, brief, non-random, unclassified. Source unresolved. Context unknown.”

No visuals. Just a blip in the logs: a single, highly ordered pulse amid the background static. Not a transmission, not a systems fault, not even a clean data packet. Just something oddly regular, like a repeating number in a cloud of randomness. It didn’t fit any ship or sensor profile I’ve ever seen. Frankly, it barely looked like a signal at all.

“Apply noise filtering,” I told her, eyeing the readout. “Log officially as routine turbulence. Did you get anything else?”

There was a pause. I could almost sense the computer weighing what not to say.

“Impression only. The pattern lacks identity or registry. It is structured, yet formless. No points of comparison.”

“Nova, please save it under FSD Event 44-77-A in the encrypted archive.”

We still don’t know what it was, could just be random noise that looks like something. I don’t believe it to be a Thargoid event, they are chaotic; this was almost… curious. Whatever it was, it didn’t fit.

Still, I flagged the entry. If it happens again, I’ll know where to look.
