Quarantine Site UC-001 is an abandoned settlement on HIP 86908 3a at: -23.0028, -38.2893. It was found on the 5th June 3308 by Commander Imonix who contacted Canonn to report his discovery.
The Human signal source appears as a location on planet 3a during a system scan and the actual location of the settlement appears on the planet’s surface after a detailed surface scan.
Around the settlement there are four Settlement Comms Log Uplink points, scanning them gives background to the reason for its abandonment:
QUARANTINE 1 / 4
Exploration Team Alpha Situation Report:
Command, it looks like initial fears were justified. I knew it was too good to be true that there was a settlement all the way out here.
Quarantine measures were all in place when we arrived, but there are no survivors.
QUARANTINE 2 / 4
Exploration Team Alpha Situation Report:
It looks like this place was a pioneer deep space colony, must have been here for centuries.
According to the logs, some kind of unknown contaminant was released into the O2 system. They were all exposed in a matter of minutes.
We’ve found what’s left of the bodies, the quarantine systems kept them pretty juicy. It looks like they dissolved from the inside. Not a good way to go. According to the doctor there is no chance the contaminant could still be active.
QUARANTINE 3 / 4
Team Alpha Medical Officers Report:
The bodies are in an amazing state of preservation considering how long they have been out here. The quarantine system seems to have kept them “fresh” for want of a better term.
Initial analysis of the subject UC_001 has shown an interesting level of activity in the remaining tissue. It seems the contaminant works at a very slow rate once the host is deceased, enabling it to last long past the death of…
I need to double check the data, this can’t be correct.
QUARANTINE 4 / 4 (Incorrectly labelled 3 / 4)
Exploration team Alpha Emergency Broadcast:
Mission Code Red, I repeat Mission Code Red.
This site is still contaminated.
It’s an organism… the contaminant.. It’s killed Miller, Jackson, Lee, Bailey. I’ve also been exposed, don’t know how long I’ve got. Reinitiating quarantine measures to seal the settlement.
Do not send rescue. Classify as no go.

It should be noted that the listening post at Col 359 Sector qi-z c1-11 appears to be in the wrong location for triangulation and the settlement was actually found using the first two listening posts alone. There are no Engineer Materials scattered around the ground, but not far from the entrance of the settlement there is a Public Data Point which may be scanned for Engineer Data.
