Greetings General. If you remember earlier, you launched a formal request into the foundation and colonization of Cygna Prime and her sister planets. I have taken the liberty in investigating the subject matter as I myself have found it rather, odd. What I discovered however is alarming and strange. 14 years ago, the UNSC Washington was sent on a deep space expedition in search of new habitable planets for the colonization effort. Its coarse was the Cygna cluster. The Washington’s scans revealed nothing, there was no habitable planets reported in the cluster. There was something else though, the Washington had identified an unknown signal of some sort and command dispatched them to investigate the signal. upon entry into the system the signal was coming from the crew reported some sort of electrical field. As if all of them had lost conciseness there is a small-time hiccup in the ships logs from when they arrived in the system and reported their findings. There report showed that there was an unusual quasar star that was giving off unusual radiation patterns but the signal was a bust at least that’s what they said. Why this is relevant however is because Cygna prime happens to be located where this unknown quasar star supposedly was. This can mean a number of things. One is the massive energy distortion that the crew noted caused problems with the scanners on board the Washington. Another is that the crew on board the vessel was for some reason driven to falsify the recordings of the ships systems to cover up the planets discover. While it is unlikely we cannot rule out the planet and its golden star were not present in the system when the Washington appeared either. This entire endeavor is wired, with so much focus on the planet it is important that I track down the crew stationed aboard the Washington at this time. If you so happen to come across any information regarding this subject please inform me immediately, otherwise ill contact you when I know more myself. Until next time.
