Two more cryptic communication fragments have been turned in to researchers, according to cryptographer Ome Dziga. The fragments were sent anonymously to Dziga's research facility, and appear to be genuine, Dziga said. In addition, Dziga said her cryptography team will be placing temporary "Encryption Transmission Satellites" in the Earth, Jupiter and Mars sectors this weekend, so that pilots and other interested parties may voluntarily submit their fragment collections to the encryption team.
The newly delivered fragments were apparently sent in an unmarked data package that gave no indication as to its source. Attempts to trace the sender have been unsuccessful.
"Of course, we view anything with suspicion if we don't know where it came from or who sent it, but at first glance these fragments do appear to be authentic. We will run a full series of tests to be certain that these fragments match the characteristics of the others, but for now we will be acting on the assumption that these fragments do, in fact, belong in the growing collection.
"On a side note, I should also let the public know that we've recently seen an increase in the number of fragments being reported. This is most likely due to increased public awareness about the fragments. However, I would also point out that the appearance of new, unique fragments seems to be slowing and the overall recovery of fragments has dropped significantly in the past weeks."
