Yes, but that’s not an uncommon sentiment. 
I used to think that capsuleers could just whisk away their families and the ones they care about, and put them far out of touch of anyone who meant them harm. How wrong was I. Especially when becoming what I am is what made them beyond my reach. Mostly.
I mean, my family is my Clan, and the majority of my Clan works for the RSS. Sooooo… whisking them away? Not exactly on the plan.

Ah–
To be clear, ma’am, if it’s me you’re being polite to please don’t concern yourself. I’m pretty aware my scribblings aren’t the most professional writing, and actually I wrote with the assumption in mind that someone would probably start up something new with more formal findings than a few snapshots and musings. I wasn’t going to take any offense.
That said they’re of course welcome here. So, you know, either way.

Most of mine enjoy a nice position in the upper echelon of SuVee, while two of my siblings are in the Navy, and my younger brother is in the Protectorate now.
The family didn’t really appreciate my choices and achievements, and especially not how I became a capsuleer. And that’s how I was unpersoned from the family.
Well, I admit, that just sucks. My Clan pooled our funds to send a small number of us who tested compatible off to different capsule programs, and they’ve gotten the lion’s share of my income ever since.
It’s not all bad. Hey, at least two of my sister’s still occasionally talk to me! And at least we can both be glad our respective families are doing pretty darn well.
Though, I do worry for my younger brother. The Protectorate is a dangerous job. There is something I could do… but that’s a can of worms I’m hesitant to open, if you catch my drift. He would not like it, but sometimes we have to do the hard things for their own good.
I still maintain that this was a mistake.

The third day’s sampling has been processed. Initial analysis continues to confirm no apparent change in frequency of discharge. For prior data, please review this post.
Day 3:
The above are initially-filtered reads on acquisition from camera drone. The calibration is consistent with day 2 - 70 and 90 percent signal filtration to isolate spikes in energetic density. The data remains noisy both due to debris around the station and the non-zero lengths of the discharge events. The raw data still has some additional analytical opportunities presenting, but at present we see nothing of note here.
edit: I’d like to add that the cyan for blue discharge and the purple for red discharge is completely the fault of the person who’s doing the initial data processing. She’s an absolute wizard, but also clearly has a cruel sense of humor.

Please see the attached day 4 sampling. Please note that while frequency of strikes remains constant, the intensity appears to have marginally increased. This is consistent enough that it raised debate in the analytics team. However, recent camera drone firmware updates are a confounding factor. Due to this concern, however, observation will continue. If intensity continues to climb even after the firmware update, we’ll do a full debrief with observers, review with processing and analytics, and let you all know.
Additionally, I had a work with the data wizard over cyan for blue and magenta for red. She informs me she left the output on default colors, and said, “data is data.”
Well.
Edit: I’ve taken a moment to confer with the observation lead. They state that due to the inability of camera drones to establish a standard locus on the EDENCOM facility (whether due to CONCORD Capsuleer overrides or specific effects in theather), camera drone placement varies marginally. They didn’t have an impression of increased intensity during recent observation. We’ll continue the discussion in analytics.

Day five observations follow. I’m still getting briefed by analytics on any changes in methodology for today’s processing, but either way analytics believes an intensity increase is a material possibility, instead of idle supposition. This will merit more study, of course. I’ll see about posting raw video and data output instead of graphs to Galnet for analysis by the greater community; more word once I have it.
I should add: analytics responded to the YC124.06.29 sample with, “Definite background shift in red/blue channels.” We were still uncertain if this was an artifact of camera drone position variation or firmware updates. Today, “This needs verification …, but we may be seeing an intensity increase.”
Currently bulldozing legal.

Day six as follows.
Additionally, I’ve confirmed clearance to release data. Due to some proprietary elements, the raw footage and histogram outputs are available at request instead of via publicly available Galnet link. Please contact me directly for access. ARC requests that any processing of data provided by ARC be shared freely with the public, or else shared with ARC if proprietary processes or important results merit a brief delay in full release.

I do.
This is what actual scientific work looks like, Ms. Estalia: a collection of boring data from which useful patterns might or might not emerge.
I don’t have the patience for this kind of thing as a rule, but I love, so much, that there are people who do.

Basically anyone with the slightest interest in the research and situation. Granted, I’d probably prefer it via a different data feed than the IGS and better raw data exports, but those are nits to be picked.
While there obviously reasons to take these graphs with a pinch of salt, given the sources, it’s well worth caring about.

We have an upsurge of Triglavian activity in system along with the appearance of a potentially abyssal related anomaly and some sort of discovery significant enough for both the Federation and the State to suspend the Yulai Accords.
Everything about this is kinda important, Arwen… We need all the information we can get.

Can’t wait for everyone pulling random non-facts out of this that suit their purposes and gets nothing actually done. I’ve seen that trick before.
