TripTik117 Expedition Highlights
Visit a Secret Drone Hive that holds a damaged drone mind among drifting ruins and a glowing ring.
Introduction
A lone drone mind drifts among the remnants of a collapsed hive. Strange signals pulse from its broken form, while mechanical fragments and a glowing ring hint at patterns beyond understanding. Danger may be near.
Site needs to be scanned down. Signature name: Secret Drone Hive Cosmic Signature HDT-750.
Locations
There is a damaged drone mind clinging to the side of a barren rock here, its spines flickering with faint signals, as if fragments of thought are struggling to escape. Suspended in the emptiness of space, it seems almost aware of the void around it, its purpose and needs obscured, leaving a lingering question: why does it linger here, abandoned yet not lifeless? Hostile Drone Patrols may be nearbym approach carefully. This also serves as a Gallente COSMOS site.
The surrounding field is scattered with remnants of smaller drone structures and twisted metal, drifting slowly like cosmic debris. A ruined hive nearby resembles a deserted mining complex. Beyond it, a concentric ring glows with a faint blue aura around a central mechanical cylinder, while smaller mechanical parasites float silently, drifting in patterns that seem deliberate yet incomprehensible. The whole site feels alive and frozen all at once a cold, cryptic reminder of machinery suspended between purpose and decay, a whisper of intelligence lost to the void.
Among the signals, the drone mind emits fragments of strange, repetitive gibberish, hinting at some alien logic:

You can start a conversation with the drone mind. A chat window will open do not accept, decline, delay, or track the mission. Copy the binary code directly from the window and paste it into the provided binary translator tool, then simply exit out of the window. Cloaky ships can interact safely from 99 km, avoiding any hostile drones.
