From the article: . Tricks, codes – sometimes even traps for the unwary. People go mad trying to work these things out, but they never mean anything


I think that is a hint for us to stop :)

But we are scientists, we never stop and going mad is one of the risks of the job! An we are already going slightly nutty around here anyway!

"'Cor meum et animam" Means "My Heart and Soul" in Latin.

The Code is "OTSEAFOTSEA" Which curiously resembles some of the ideas revolving around in the Canonn thread.

Gypsy out.

Drew Wagar mentioned this as being related somewhat to the Formidine rift (thus it's presence there).... I can't find *the* quote, but my understanding was this would be unrelated to UPs and stuff, but happy to be wrong there.

EDIT: here we go. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/4sg1fc/this_has_been_posted_to_facebook_drew_wagar/

Without wanting to dash all the enthusiasm, these comments were made in the context of a discussion about the Rift mystery from my book, they don't apply to the entire ED storyline - which is trundling along quite happily without any help from me.Engineers will help potential Rifters and that's what I was talking about.
Context is everything. No need to purchase more tinfoil at this stage. :) As you were.

I've noted in the Educating Ed video that the cloud left by the UP after destruction goes from green to Merope's surface color...

Might just be conincidence but OTSEAFOTSEAF draws a triangle using the morse code generator,

"My Heart and Soul"

May be those two nebulas are the top two points and the bottom one is the location of the rift or our next clue.

This would be way to easy through. An there no scale.

If you take it that "TSEAFO" stands for The South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation, I think it may be a red herring in our investigations.

However I actually think it refers to other mysteries out there , such as the dark wheel, the Formidine Rift and raxxala.:)

It's definitely not a south east Atlantic read herring. The Atlantic herring only lives in the north.

I still agree. Lets keep this mystery in the right thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...ant-to-know-about-the-Formidine-Rift-(Part-3)

Hello Commanders, been following this subject since “forever” and wanted to drop this idea here. As far as the UP investigation has progressed, it seems that the only UP’s in possession have been captured from military convoys. Having read the first page in detail again, it seems that no free floating UP has ever been discovered, or at least not reported. If this is in fact correct, then the question becomes where to look for them. However, another test has shown that when released from a cargo hold free floaters self-destruct in approximately 6 minutes, but do not self-destruct while on a planet surface. If a UP cannot survive longer than 6 minutes floating in space, does that not imply that they will not be found as free floaters? Should we be searching for a planet/moon/asteroid/ring system manufacturing base of some kind? Or, perhaps a cloaked ship in orbit around a planet or star? Anyway, just the idle thought from a 73 year old brain that should probably go back to bed!

About free floating UP-s: after the 2.1.05 update, I've been searching for them between Merope and the UA shell. I posted about this earlier in the thread, but received no replies from anyone. (Little wonder though.) Now that a player-submitted news article has appeared about this, I thought I'd share the sheet about what systems I've searched, and what signal sources I've found so far. You can find it here, and if anyone wishes to help out, let me know!

While there's quite a range of systems, I don't consider places where I've only run into just one SS so far as complete. After all, when within the UA shell, there have been times when I ran into two degraded SS-es first and only gotten an UA anomaly on the third try.
Also, italics note systems which have no bodies, only the solitary star.

UAs do the same and are found in space, any cargo dropped from ships decay
best to just consider it a game mechanic and not something specific to UAs/UPs
Edit: what jmanis said! :D

Marx you should have been and obviously can still add your findings here.

Interestingly, googling the latin phrase shows it appearing in "The Sworn Book of Honorious". From the wikipedia page for that book:

It is supposedly the product of a conference of magicians who decided to condense all their knowledge into one volume. In 93 chapters, it covers a large variety of topics, from how to save your soul from purgatory to the catching of thieves or finding of treasures. It has many instructions on how to conjure and command demons, to work other magical operations, and knowledge of what lies in Heaven among other highly sought information. Like many grimoires, it has lengthy dissertations for proper operation and seals to be used.
The book can be classified as a "Solomonic Grimoire" due to its heavy use of angelic powers and seals like those found in The Key of Solomon, and its own claim to "lay out the works of Solomon."

Sounds like this thread :)
