Again, it's late. And I have to say that I did more research today than the biggest workload of research I had done in a single week when I was an actual University student.

I went back to Antemaersa and form-fitted myself into the spirit-like form of Captain Bornan once again and went to what speculated and then confirmed was a repository located on Cresca Minor IV, called the Great Storage of the Freedom Rangers. Going through the texts there was tedious to say the least, but I finally found the missing link between this haphazardly-organized group and the Three Stars. Each Three-Star daemon, as it turned out, was collectively cast by about 150 second-generation daemons, and was done so in secret. The Three Stars were purposely placed in a system far, far away from this one in order to cement Freedom Ranger standing across the Arturian Universe but to do so secretly, in order to avoid catching the attention of the Administrators or Prefects.

The kicker is that no one Member, not even Theodore Young, was behind this intent. This, as far as I can see, was simply an algorithmic anomaly generated by accident by a collection of standalone daemons initially cast by Member-backed avatars but designed to carry on their own despite Member absence.

I brought this concern up to Julian Mackwell and the figure behind the quest leader: Derek Comb. I proposed that we should abolish the practice of allowing standalone daemons across the Arturian Realm if these sorts of things were going to throw off the balance of dynamics. But they both disagreed with me. However, they were throwing dozens of ideas toward each other upon which none were agreed upon.

So I turned the conversation toward what to do in the short term. Again, there has been quite an exchange of ideas, but we have yet to come to a consensus.
