Starfinders, I have a task of great significance. I’ve received reports of a strange occurrence on Aucturn. I know ‘strange things on Aucturn’ sounds redundant, but these reports detail something unusual for Aucturn: an event potent enough to bypass the planet-wide illusion that blocks our sensors. Scanners and eyewitnesses in orbit confirm a protracted display of colored flashes over Aucturn’s eastern hemisphere just below the equator, likely some sort of supernatural discharge massive enough to be seen from space through Aucturn’s bizarre atmosphere. Some of the more superstitious witnesses are calling it divine intervention, although that seems a stretch for a planet known to invite hallucinations."
“When the light show subsided, our scanners became opaque again, but even then the illusions were… off. Contrasting images overlapping each other, like a vidscreen trying to display two different streams at once. Whatever happened down there, it’s had a real impact on the planet itself. I ask that you fly to Aucturn, dock at Grindhold’s spaceport, and learn what you can about this occurrence. Whatever it was, I know it’s important. Aucturn is a hostile location even under normal circumstances, so be careful and be prepared.”
"Any questions?"
