The Q-Pedd Catalyst
Daily Mission Briefing
Scientists experimenting with robotic A.I. "companions" made an unfortunate error in the bots' affection algorithms, causing these "Q-Pedds" to rebel and flee in nearby science transport ships. The Q-Pedds took much of the related equipment with them. To those that may detect any roaming Q-Pedd ships: seizing back this equipment is of great importance.
During the 2016 and 2015 Q-Pedd Event, the following temporary effects applied to the entire Galaxy:
* Daily rewards for both minerals and research provide 50% more than before. * Cybernetic (Vygoid, Zolazin) and robotic-proficient (Drannik) races receive a 5% boost to their racial bonus * Due to Hyperluminal radiation, Time Manipulators cost 35 energy to use.
Mission Dialogue
We believe we may have discovered a catalyst for the malfunctions the Q-Pedd's have been experiencing... hyperluminal radiation. Our expert on this planetary phenomenon, Dr. Grahr, will brief you.
Dr. Grahr: Thank you for coming.
Hello Dr. Grahr. What can you tell me about this update on the Q-Pedds?
Dr. Grahr: During this time of the cycle, gas giants begin to reflect amplified frequencies of hyperluminal noise. It affects a wide range of electronics... The Q-Pedds seem sensitive to it.
And this has been the reason behind their malfunctioning ?
Dr. Grahr: That's the growing theory.
So, we can fix them?
Dr. Grahr: If we can get closer readings of the noise from new scans, we should be able to alter future models with hyperluminal shielding... assuming this is the root cause.
What type of gas giants should we be scanning for?
Dr. Grahr: The red and purple varieties... coincidentally the same hues as the Q-Pedd design.
Very good. We'll see what we can find.
End Transmission.
