Entry 5
Flew to a nearby planet and kept the system-generated name: Stacit IX.
It’s a pillar world, vast vertical formations stretching up and down like frozen scaffolding. The surface is dominated by synthetic fauna rather than organic life. Massive 8-meter walking structures roam slowly across the terrain, behaving less like creatures and more like mobile buildings. Between them move smaller constructs, around 1.3 meters tall, animal-like in shape, long legs, small body and a large round head, but clearly mechanical. I’ve seen similar forms before, years ago, but never often. Their rare encounters, possibly more common in red systems, but i don't visit those enough to confirm.
One of them broke my convergence record: 61.0 IEQ. That puts it unusually close to Korvax convergence thresholds, higher than anything I’ve logged before. Interesting, but unsettling in its own way.
Managed to acquire four new companions here: Guarditso, Gekkoop, Too-Too (the record holder), and the larger Ittia-Ittia. Each responds differently, but all feel… anchored to this place in a way organic creatures never quite are. Gekkoop and Ittia-Ittia are of the same spieces, but look completely different. One is a large walking tower, the other a gigantic ball similair to the trade stations. I wonder what my friends at the Anomaly will think off them. Noted the portal cordinates for possible reference in the future.
While surveying I also gathered materials: 400 units of Cadmium, a good stock of Sodium Nitrite, and several Glitched Separators, suitable for display in one of the Galaxia Cabins installations. Also extracted 14 Chewy Wires from the smaller fauna constructs.

Stacit IX feels cold in a way that goes beyond temperature. Everything here is structured, deliberate, and indifferent. There’s no sense of wandering or growth, only function. I do not belong here. Indeed, I count it a blessing that I did not wake up in this world all those years ago.
