AUDIO; un: strange, after group 3 and all of the existing juicy network info posts. approx 2am.
I broke into the FNRR tonight.
[ Putting that out there with his whole chest so nobody has to waste time asking after circumstances. ]
I was intercepted by Dr. Kaeya Sseran, a senior researcher with the Ghost Matter Division, who as it turns out is working with Zandr. She describes him as one of the most brilliant scientists of their generation.
Kaeya and Zandr worked together in the division back when it was still headed by both Dr. Breezr and Dr. Adrih. It was created at the behest of Commander Brennon to find a way to synthesize ghost matter after they discovered twenty or so years ago that the particle as it naturally occurred was created in the atmosphere at a slower rate than they were harvesting it for their guns, meaning their supply would inevitably run out.
They had no luck creating a synthetic particle until Dr Breezr introduced the ‘conduit’, the orb. With its help Breezr and Adrih synthesized a particle in secret. It had the benefit of duplicating itself at a much faster rate than already existing ghost matter, and mutating any ghost matter particle it contacted to carry its same qualities. Including the mutation that produces the autoimmune effects this Complex is plagued with today.
Brennon wanted it introduced to the atmosphere to revitalize the supply. Dr Adrih, knowing what this would mean for the Galaxy, told Zandr, and together they planned to escape with sensitive documents and the only sample of the synthesized, mutated particle.
Zandr made it out with the documents. Brennon caught Dr Adrih, murdered him, took the sample, and Dr Breezr reversed one of the ghost matter harvesters and distributed the particle into the atmosphere.
[ There’s seething silence from him for a moment to let that sink in. Because there we have it: the orb’s involvement in the suffering of Ndiera, the undeniable fact that senior members of the Federation knowingly created the current situation in order to maintain their control, no matter the cost. ]
Zandr and Kaeya are working on an anti-matter to eradicate ghost matter entirely. Once they achieve it, they’ll need access codes for the harvesters in order to reverse them and disseminate the new particle into the atmosphere, codes that are kept on the station where senior Federation staff stay.
There’s work to do. I’ve promised her help, and the help of anyone else I know who’ll offer it. I’ll be meeting her again next week and can fill her in on any offers or suggestions then.
[ He’s about to sign off his 2am infodump there, but actually this is quite important - ]
I didn’t check, but I assume Zandr must still have the orb. It returned his powers to him a few months ago at Kaeya’s accidental request while she was holding onto it in advance of their plan to have him take it from the FNRR, which he then did.
[ Those powers returned at a cost to her, of course, but as far as he can tell what exactly that cost was doesn’t need to be everyone’s business unless she chooses for it to be. ]
He was caught on purpose, so he could escape and cast doubt on the infallibility of the Federation.
That’s about all I know. If you have questions, I’ll do my best to answer.
[ And with that he finally does end his broadcast. ]
( ooc: an infoshare from Stephen’s search request! I think he’s covered everything important but if you spot anything in there I haven’t covered that you want your character to know pls do hop in for a thread or hit me up oocly for a handwave! It’s all fair game - and please feel free to use this post to have characters discuss amongst themselves! )

This matches up with what Zandr's told us so far about working on a solution to what the orb did here.
