In an effort to better understand the Unknowns, the Special Task Force on Unknown Ship Activity is enlisting the aid of volunteers to track the movements of these alien ships. The Task Force is organizing the "Alien Watch" event this weekend as part of its ongoing research into the alien presence.The Task Force is asking volunteers to report to informational kiosks located throughout the galaxy this weekend to receive instructions on how to participate. Those pilots who are willing to donate their time will be asked to equip a device that will allow them to track the engine signatures of Unknown ships for a short time.
Once they've registered at an informational kiosk, participants will be given further details and a route to follow. Pilots who wish to participate can register at informational kiosks in the following locations:
- Saturn (outside Net-7 Sol)
- Jupiter (outside Jove's Fury)
- Mars (outside Arx Magister)
- Earth (outside Earth Station)
- Endriago Planet (outside Porvenir Mons)
- Zweihander Planet (outside Jagerstadt City)
- Aganju (outside Kinshasa-Mbali)
- Dahin Planet (outside Tokai Saikutsu)
Pilots will be asked to fly a pre-determined route to scan for alien activity. When they have completed the survey of their assigned route, participants can upload their data at collection kiosks.
A Task Force spokesman described the event as "a peaceful investigation of Unknown ships throughout many systems." The spokesman added, "We presume the Unknowns are linked to the Maelstroms, but we'd like to research this supposition and gather more data. They seem to be moving with a purpose, so we'd like to find out where they're going."
The Alien Watch event is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Pacific Earth Time this Saturday, January 18, and will continue until 10 p.m. on Sunday, January 19. Once the collected data is analyzed, Net-7 will publish the results galaxy-wide.
