[Spoilers] How does one communicate with the stalkers?

[Regularity]

So I talked to the Talonian. He says, "Look for a group of Arkadians who start their hail with a random sequence of binary digits. I will transfer the cryptographic key to so you your translator maybe respond if you are able to locate them."

So far I've spoken to the Stalkers in guild space harassing CXTA traders, and the ones in the far south-west corner of the map, and neither seem to be able to communicate properly. Is there another stalker group somewhere I'm missing or is this a bug of some kind?

Idk I'm currently flying about the entire unexplored parts of my map trying to find new sectors for this lol

Hi @Regularity & @9 Moons Lyja

So if you've reached the point in the game where the Talonian is asking you for things, you're extremely close.

The "CXTA Stalkers" Stalkers, "Void" Stalkers, and "Collapsar" Stalkers are not the ones you want (their binary hail isn't random).

also
If you've explored through the space near the Collapsar (where you got the Strangelets) then you may have picked up two clues: Some binary identifiers, and a wall etching which looks like a map

(REAL) spoiler: the New Reliquary is at index 28 of those listed locations ; the Watch Tower anomaly will take you there, and is the one star on that etched map which you may not have found yet.

Well, that explains it. I already checked out that location the moment I found it much earlier in the storyline, but it was empty. I don't know if it's an oversight or poor design that the game only wants you to visit it after the end of the storyline -- but seems to give no indication of this fact. Unless I'm failing to read between the lines somewhere.

I swear by Finagle that the other polyhedron exists and that you can find it. :)

This quest line is breaking my brain I feel like I must be missing something very obvious. I see converting a location number ie 28 to decimal but where the frell are these system numbers?
