Just seen on reddit, someone noted that there is a similar drawing of a circle with a line halfway across it in the new independence day film, any relation?

CMDR such a postulate is just trash in here without a picture to back it up. Go fetch and return when you have something for us ;-)
 
This. Jaque is talking about the UAs. So UAs seem to be a beacon so they can find you. Fits with my hypothesis that UAs are distress beacons, sent by an alien ship crashlanded in the Pleiades.

The probes seem to search for the ship.

Also MB said that being stuffed with UA's didnt help Jaques to jump either. That's why I'm flying around with 7 UA's on board for few weeks right now. I'm heading to pleiades now to see If I can summon THEM :D
 
I like to imagine it like UAs are the nerves, but UPs are the sense.


Imagine you're walking along and a bug lands on your skin. Your nerves (UAs) go ''there's something here!'' and then your eyes (UPs) turn and focus on it. They directly feed information to your brain (Aliens) and it decides whether the hand comes in to smash or brush it away.

sounds a bit over-interpreted for me, but as we don't know otherwise it's possible.

From Jaques message:
...the artifacts caused some kind of overload.... They sing, the artifacts.... when you're out there they sing and then they will find you.
That noise.... it's still in my head ...

I don't think with "they" he means the probes.
To the antares (if she's real) and Halsey kind of the same thing happened. And Halsey claimed to have seen the aliens.

Good man! :D
We need Video footage.
 
Anyway there is not that much to hear in the UP audio: two kinds of SCREAMS/HOWLS and in the middle some PURRS like it is snoring. That is.

So I've just grabbed the audio of Mhyre's fresh 10min surface UP recording - file here to save anyone else the trouble (it's mono 44.1kHz for $reasons but since it's a capture of a Youtube video I doubt that matters):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97547545/up-10min-ground.wav

Myhre, if you want me to remove this or want to replace it with your raw audio let me know and I'll remove it.

Looking at it in Audacity in various views, I'm not sure there's structure there. The purrs between the howls look awfully, awfully regular in spectrum mode e.g.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97547545/up-spec.png

I like the theory that the diagram is a key to translate the audio for no reason other than gut instinct (bad science I know), and maybe audio in space, or the UA audio, or some other signal may decode it, but I can't see it at first glance. My attempt to transcribe hi/lo by ear failed - I don't have the skill I'm afraid.
 
Jacque's actual wording, which I have added some Bold, Italics and Underlining to, that people usually condense is;

''They sing, the artefacts. I thought that was some crack pot ranting, but when you're out there they sing and then they find you.''


A few interesting things to focus on;

Italics is 'They' as in the UAs. They sing to you, they chitter and chirp and howl. Similarly to how the UPs also 'Sing' when idling. Beautiful sounds that are appealing to our ears. This is important in their function, maybe not in the sense that there is a hidden message for us to find, but that the audio is clearly indicative of their current nature.

Underlined is something worth focusing on too. 'Out There'. Does out there refer to Space generally speaking, a location IN space (eg: Out there in the Pleiades) or 'Out There' as in Witchspace?
There's no way to figure this out solely from what he has said, but it does show that there is an important singing behaviour when you are somewhere specific. Namely wherever 'Out There' is.

As for the Bold ,The only reason I have bolded this is because while it is very likely that it only refers to the other 'They's that I have otherwise Italicised. It is possible, however, that it is a secondary 'They'. Meaning the singing of the probes draws another 'They' to your location.


In conclusion: Jacques words give us little to solve but some interesting points to ponder. Seemingly, if you have a bulk of UA's in a certain place in space, they will sing and disrupt your FSD. Throwing you through, what appears to be, specific coordinates in space (As Jacques puts it; ''Nebulae, Black Holes'' etc) via an extended trip to Witchspace, and then dump you... far, far away?

My question that this all raises for me is; Where exactly was Jacques when he initiated this jump/When the UAs triggered this jump? I know this isn't unknown info, I'm just not sure where I'd find it.

First they sing, then the posts will find you :)

Haha, you might as well start saying;

''I know what Kerrash is going to post next. I won't spoil it but I have tried to push you in the right direction.'' :p :D

I am digging for hints.

One thing that keeps coming to mind for me is that I have no personally played a game where the developers are actually taking part in ages. This happens with MUDs or some kind of DnD game, but most MMOs tend to end down the Korean path. That is, the Developers just sits back and make sure the cash keeps coming. Add all references to Skinner Boxes into this and you've got 99% of online gaming content.

Elite's different. This is very much more in line with 2004 and younger games: Where Devs actually had a care for their game and community.

I think it could have gone either way.


Tending to lean toward FD being the Dungeon Master you always want to have. This being true, then ya... there are hints and we missed them. Or we have them and we aren't getting that we do. Probably lots of both.

This is why I have had this thought a billion times:
FDev = The Dark Wheel.
"The makers of creation" (maybe not correctly citated" as Jasmina Halsey formulated it...
 
Not sure how to connect it, but the arch markings in the top-right of spectogram reminded me of gravity well marking on the HUD...

Gliese 1269 is the system Jaques started from, I went there the other day and there was plenty of npc traffic but no stations or anything. I didn't have a really good look around but I plan on going back there with some UA to see if anything stands out.

You make a solid point with Jaques, what he says cam be interpreted many ways. I first thought both "they"s were referring to the UA, but it could just as likely be the probes or the architects/creators/thargoids.

I'm still waiting for my UA's to sing, or at least to yell at me "stop honking that damn horn in my face!"
 
Kerrash Landing #154

Thx... so... Dan says: "Two of the lines (in the picture from the UP) appear to be vaguely pointing to Merope... and then you reverse engineer it *excited voice now* and then everybody knows exactly where and when it's gonna happen".

So... we need to find out where the lines point seen from Merope? (Reverse direction)

I have said it before and I will say it again. I don't think we have the right recording yet!

Myhre's recording is exelent qualiy, but it lacks two significant features to be sure.

First, I think we need to start the recording by disco scanning the UP. This is to ensure that it is actually active.

Second, thwe recording should be minimum 13min. long, to ensure one full loop of the 6min + total transmission.

After we have this recording, we can analyze the purrs and make sure it loops. If it does not loop, we can asume that only the first 6min after the disco scan is valid data. If it loops, we need to find a start character ('---'?).

When we have determined that we actually have a message, we can start to worry about the content of it.
