With the revelations from the Zroni's temple we have obtained the coordinates of a scientific complex. Orbital scans could not detect any resonance from their Memory Crystal, we will need to go down to the surface to learn more.

Stage 1 · difficulty 3

Zroni Research Station

Console: event ancrel.9

Description

It was strangely difficult to triangulate the Archive on … - but once we did it was easy to see why it had been so elusive: the crystal has been shattered, and contains no records that we can access. However, hope persists as we have detected a faint signal somewhere nearby.

Stage 2 · difficulty 4

Zroni Research Station

Console: event ancrel.10

Description

A much smaller psionic crystal has been located in some kind of laboratory. The Zroni who recorded their findings within were extremely frustrated: their research had been ridiculed by their peers, and was largely discredited. They believed that the Zroni were no longer the only entities in the Shroud, and that the collective fears and desires of their entire race were coalescing into distinct, sapient entities.

Yearning to grow stronger, these entities had begun to subtly influence the emotions and thoughts of suitable Zroni: slowly causing their behaviors to become more extreme. This may have directly caused the Zroni civil war.

We also discovered a location reference for one of the Zroni's core worlds.
