Sirus corporation has no limits to what they are willing to do but we need to remember that they have only one goal. Credits.

If there are no credits to be made, they will not lift a finger.

They have a history of coorporating with INRA. SiCor. produced the Mycoid and the vaccine (why the vaccine?).

Why was there no mention of military fuel in the GalNet article about Sirius corporation?

Don't belive anything until officially denied ;-)

That's the old arms dealer trick. If you're skilled enough to sell to both sides then you double your profits time and time again.

Also what do we have on this Li Yong Rui guy? The latest bioputs him being around in the higher echelons of SiCO for quite a long time... He's gotta know a lot more stuff than we're led on to believe yet somehow the suspicions seem to fall on Winters (rightfully so) but not much on him directly.

Could SiCor be selling to both sides? As in, thargoids and humans? What could the Thargoids need? UAs?

Sorry this is kinda off topic lol

whatever happens to the UA, at least we have the Wedding news to look forward to.
There are way to many Empire Powers anyway ;-D

Is anyone else reminded of the Babylon5 plot with this unfolding story?

and why are all the destroyed ships (Antares, Starship 1, and the shuttle) person carriers? don't we have a 'dedicated' person carrier ship available?

and will the Thargoids show up ?

and generally WHY ? :-D
(fun times)

they mentioned fuel in the July 24 article:
Throughout the years, fuel and drive production has remained their core business, although judicious expansion into other markets has driven its astronomical growth.

it's... really hard to say. From what we know, mixed with a bit of imagination, the UA may be an artefact of a past era (imagine that, an artefact being an artefact) from the thargoid war some 300 years ago.

The thargoids could be entirely responsible for Antares & SS1 but that doesnt nessicarily imply Antares or SS1 had a UA on board.

The UA and the misjumps could be two separate things that both point to Thargoids.

It would be really cool if the Thargoids showed up for the wedding. Just sayin. Not being manipulated by anyone, just being all Thargoid- like and aggressive.

Thargoid 1: "This punch tastes worse than Klaxian thorax wine! <spits on floor/>"

Thargoid 2: "They could have at least served some of that Hutton Orbital crap! In a proper mug! <crushes glass of wine/>"

Thargoid 1: "That's the final
straw! I've had enough of this secret peace nonsense! Stuck on Quy, not allowed out, not even to go on a nice little fishing trip to Merlin. <looksDowncast/> Accused of being the pawns of INRA, or the pawns of the Dark Wheel, or some other lame pinkskin 'secret' organisation or 'Power'. Time to show them who really has the claws around here! You take the Emperor, the Federation one looks very appetizing in that business suit, leave her to me. What's her name again? I always like to know at least the name of my prey before devouring it."

Thargoid 2: "Dammit! Who invited the Oresrians? Don't they know there is enough bloody confusion about who we are already? And not a single appetizing morsel from the Alliance? And look - look over there - they've even invited that Senator Wager thing! [distant howl of anger - 'That's Wagar - Senator Wagar I'll have you know!'] "

Thargoid 1: "Did you hear that? The Emperor was just telling the Federation thing that we are just going to be another so-called 'Power'? P--s on that I say! I'm not going to spend the rest of my life space-trucking INRA videotapes from Polaris to Soontill for something called 'merits'! You think they could at least have had 'demerits ' or something for nasty alien races like us! What sort of design is that? Crush them now!"

Rui is spending quite a lot on exploration data. There is something out there he wants. If he wants it, it's profitable. He will stop at nothing to make sure it's not found by anyone else.

Sirius corporation went from rich to ultra rich by suplying mil. Fuel to both sides in the war between the feds and the imps.
That war was prolonged several decades because Sirius corporation limited the suplys to the side that was about to win.

This was not mentioned by GalNet. GalNet may very well be Sirius controlled.

The timing of the galnet post about the shuttle accident is just tooooo coincidental to be anything except a hint.

I still think the UA is an experimental warp drive but now I suspect that Sirius Corp is heavily involved in making the things. A famous quote from detective fiction is "follow the money" - An awful lot of money trails in this galaxy lead to Sirius Corp, who would make a LOT of money out of a new warp drive.

A few posts back someone said that various politicians couldn't be involved, coz of their insistence on investigating the accident with SS1. I would very gently issue a reminder that what politicians say they are doing is not always what they are actually doing.

No regrets. I'm sure the thargoid powers give out awesome modules.

scientist 1: How are we gunna fool the civilians?

scientist 2: Uhm... lets... wrap some paper mache around one of these canisters of toxic waste, put a cd player in there that just plays the same slowed down tuba sounds, and throw in a NAV beacon for morse. The best part is? It wont make a lick of sense!

scientist 1: Genius! My kid has a tuba, I'll fire up fruityloops and make a track. We've got to find some T9s too, make it look legit

scientist 2: Yeah, they're never gunna figure this out.

Scientist 1: word. lets put some sea creatures in there to really throw them off too. what do we have lying around?

Scientist 2: [redacted]
