Removed Mission ‘spacial review’:
Dark Wheel Seeks Diplomats For Discreet Delivery
Obfuscated In The Outer Rim (Answering The Call Of Adventure)
The Silent Song Of The Spheres
Discrete Redistribution Agent Desired
This in a 3D spacial review of the missions posted on page one of this thread by
@Macros Black, with the intention of assessing if there were any patterns to their location.
All 4 mission systems combined
Highlighted primary areas of interest
The Miltonian axis and the path of Jacques - overlayed
The first leg of the Brookes Tours - overlayed
The Brookes Tours - overlayed
The Greek Fates, Norse Norns, Fortunes and Thetis signal - overlayed
Starship One crash location & The Morrigans - overlayed
Other locations similar to Starship One involving mysterious disappearances of ships and Gan Romero - overlayed
Assessments:
It is
highly likely there is a shared relationship between these mission systems, advocating several
focal groups or hotspots. In many instances these occur within the exact same systems repeatedly
corroborating that these missions all had a shared relationship or function.
It is
highly likely that the majority of mission systems when combined, form in a
bubble around Sol, this mirrors my ‘Older Gods’ theory where this zone is marked by deities named after ‘Storm gods’
corroborating my calculations.
It is
highly likely that the majority of those systems form a
hotspot upon the axis I calculated as being a path towards the Empyrean based upon the path of Jacques and that of Satan from Paradise Lost,
corroborating my calculations.
It is
likely that a quantity of systems are focused within an area of space likewise denoted by the
Brookes Tours, denoting an intelligence hotspot with my ‘Lost Realms’ zone,
corroborating my calculations.
There is a
realistic possibility that given the other correlations identified above, that a quantity of systems are focused within an area of space likewise denoted by those for the Greek Fates, Norse Norns, The Fortunes and not least the Thetis signal and the system (in red) for Tiamat,
corroborating my calculations this area is likely the apex of the zone of Chaos.
There is a
realistic possibility given the other correlations observed above, that a quantity of 3 systems are focused within a relatively small area of space likewise denoted by the last known location of the Starship One journey,
corroborating my calculations that this area is linked narratively.
Assumptions:
Given the similarities to my
independent research which advocates a
Miltonian architecture existing in game an educated assumption is these original (removed) missions corroborates that architecture and that these missions intent was the draw out the boundaries of certain zones, or to simply
focus player’s attention on certain zones.
In 2916 when these missions were identified as bugged Brookes confirmed: “major update to how you interact with the missions, and how the missions are generated, so they make better
situational sense” this when considered against the mapping indicates this situational aspect was potentially locational.
New data from these missions adds a
particular hotspot very close to my ‘Lost Realms’ zone, this along with the introduction of the
Brookes Tours; I assume advocates a
directional hotspot and that the area has or ‘had’ greater relevance which
warrants exploration.
This directional data intersects the
path of Jacques, indicating an intelligence void, which is of
interest. An educated assumption is this void is of importance to the story of Jacques leaving the underworld; potentially this advocates either the ‘path’ itself is of importance or something exists in this area?
This same directional data ends upon an area populated by systems named after
goddesses of the Apples (relatively close to
Avalon), below this area is the system
Michel (French for Michael) and
Sopedu - (Guardian of the East).
An educated assumption is the
Brookes Tours serves more than a memorial but was utilised by FD as a
directional clue, given that my previous research established this hypothesis, the additional corroborating evidence from the removed missions
raises this likelihood.
An educated assumption is that given the confirmation from Brookes that these missions ought to have originated around one location namely SD, and that these star appear repeatedly across all missions from origin and destination, that ‘some’ of these missions ‘origin’ locations actually spawned in the ‘destination’ locations and this was the identified bug.
An educated assumption is that these areas linked to the removed missions were originally part of a
narrative which like the missions has since been
removed. This is based upon the knowledge that the Trinkets of Hidden Fortune were linked to these missions and FD also confirmed that ‘story’ was removed; hence any locations attributed to these missions and likewise Trinkets have a
potential of being redundant, except we here there is an overlap with existing game narratives or clues.

Intelligence gaps:
It is an unknown how much
player behaviour influenced these missions spawning where they did, equally there is the ever present element of
bias interpreting this data through backcasting; likewise we do not actually know how or if
errors occurred in these missions, nor ultimately why the missions were removed, nor if their ‘directional’ nature identified above is accurate or was in fact potentially
shifted as part of said unknown error.
It is an unknown if the missions worked alongside existing content
already set in game or it was to be linked to future narrative content
never applied.
Recommendations:
An exploration of the
directional zone and then the applicable identified area within proximity to the
Brookes Tours, as well as the intelligence void within path of
Jacques is encouraged as the data correlates and thus ought to present a higher probability of return.
It’s plausible all other areas identified by the removed missions are narratively redundant until further evidence presents itself, until then such data only corroborates my Miltonian Cosmology theory.
