Shortly into the Thetis's ninth generation, passengers began reporting whispering sounds coming from comms units. The sounds, a digital signal being picked up by the ship's comms array, drove passengers homicidally insane, resulting in the loss of whole decks. The signal was found to have originated from an uninhabited planet that the Thetis had passed 15 lightyears earlier. A crew member who accidentally heard the signal described it as a whisper that said "kill them all". The crew were unable to stop the signal's spread through the comms network, and the killings continued, with those affected also writing words in an unknown script on the walls in blood. The final log is a garbled transmission of the signal.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/683l0d/generation_ship_thetis_found_madness_and_ghosts/ reddit: Generation Ship Thetis found.

In 3309, reports emerged of a "mass psychological disturbance" amongst naval crews operating in the Shamash system<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/653931572510be86cc0bfedb</ref>. The detection of an anomalous multi-frequency signal in the star system indicates this may be a repeat of the phenomenon that afflicted the Thetis. | |||
