Enjoy your holiday, Commander. We'll be fine. You will be one of the first to know if anything major happens

I'm sure about that!
Anyway, to sum up: The UP transmission could be the real message (HI and LOW purrs in groups of three, as we already know, like -|-), and the drawing could be the KEY to decode the transmission.
In this way, it is not important if those glyphs are binary, morse or whatever; they become just MARKERS, signposts, and each of them representing each of the four quadrants. We'll be obtaining sequences of quadrants, this way.
We still need to decide what each quadrant means, however.

was on Merope 5c last night, when reviewing video that was taken I got this :-http://imgur.com/rrsAWs7 http://imgur.com/rrsAWs7
It was just seconds after I had used ad scanner
Because if there is no video it did not happen here is shorted version of the video I took. The interesting bit is from about 5.30mims. I except that this is probably a glitch, but what the hey!.

Hello everyone again,
I spent quite a few hours doing fresh audio recordings of the Unknown Probe in various locations last night. I will be exporting and uploading all my audio for everyone to download shortly.
BUT FIRST! I made a discovery last night. It seems that the Unknown Probe gets triggered in the presence of an Unknown Artefact that has received a signal from a Discovery Scanner.
The procedure is as follow:
1) Find a free floating Unknown Artefact (haven't tried with a scooped artefact, my hold was already full with two probes).
2) Use the (Advanced) Discovery Scanner around the Unknown Artefact.
3) Release the Unknown Probe.
The Unknown Probe will then release the EMP, reproducing the same effect as the regular EMP (disabling the HUD), however no audio is heard inside the ship. I have tried it several times, and no audio ever came through that way. I have tried a few different ways to trigger the EMP again, but it seems that the Unknown Artefact relays the signal of the Discovery Scanner to the Unknown Probe whenever it shows up (though quite poorly since no audio is heard). Scooping and releasing the Unknown Probe again does not trigger the effect, meaning you need to use the discovery scanner and then release the probe.
I have tried to use the discovery scanner then release the probe without the presence of an artefact, and the effect did not come up. Is this a bug, or a real discovery? Watch the video and decide!

I have also uploaded 10 minutes of the Unknown Probe on the surface of Merope 5 C. It seems to sing rapidly on the surface, "crying" every 50 seconds or so. I also recorded the free floating Unknown Artefact for 10 minutes after an Unknown Probe has been triggered close to it. Both videos below:

Hey Mhyre I've already discovered that as well, and reported it few days ago: I think it's a bug however. From my developer perspective it really seem a bug, being UA and UP similar, then sharing some code for sure
I was going to report it to FD, but then I thought it was not that relevant.It happened a couple times before me giving you the UP.

I am going to slap the next person who overlays the round thing on a random round object and remarks that it fits. With a frozen trout (I bought several in preparation).

Oh? I found it to be really weird. The one thing I wonder is if I didn't get the audio because I was too far? I never moved after releasing the UP while it was triggering, probably because I didn't want to bump into it.
Will begin some basic work on the UP 10 minute clip now. Can't promise much, I'm not even an amateur, but let's see.
What's the name of the program for getting spectograms out of audio?
Audacity is one (free)
I have no idea I'm afraid. I'm only using Audacity to mess with the speed/tempo etc. Basic stuff.
However the UP definitely sounds like it is 'singing'. Makes me think of Jacques.
''They sing... and then they find you.''
Perhaps a cryptic warning that the 'singing' UP is the last step before arrival?
Additional: For the record, if any FDev see this, the sound you have created for this singing is so hauntingly beautiful, I adore it. I'm really hoping that hidden away inside it somewhere are lyrics I can learn

Thanks for that CMDR!
If you speed up the UP audio, it'll be easier and faster to transcribe
But perhaps you know it already.

Well, let me explain:
I suspect there is some shared variable between UP and UA they forgot to "separate".
So, if you scan the UA that variables becomes true, and then when you deploy the UP, it finds that variable already true, and it activates immediately.
That's just me wearing the developer hat, anyway.

I honestly have no idea what I am doing so I am going to work very hard to stop high expectations of me, haha.
The only thing my untrained ear can tell you is that it is definitely slowed down, which is probably no news to anyone. Still I have 4 days off so I have time to play with it
This is the direction I've been optimistically pushing, but with no success. The first problem is that the purrs aren't in groups of three, they're in long sequences of 9-18 and not divisible by 3 as often as they are.
Secondly is High | or - ?
Either way, you end up with |-| and |-- which don't have matching quadrants.
Interesting stuff. We're 100% sure that the UP isn't just EMPing because of the UAs honk?
Also, what happens to a UA if it's inside the EMP range?
