The Galnet article is the epilogue from a story by Drew, it's related to the rift not UPs (at least not directly, who knows what webs are weaved in the background).
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
Very interesting, I particularly like the part mentioned in the key of Solomon regarding the planetary hours and appropriate times for invocation. I need to read a bit more. Thanks for posting this!
I really hate it when people make posts like the one I'm about to, but I just can't help myself.
Has anyone tried to take a UP to an ammonia world and honk it there? I know UPs are in short supply these days but if the UA is searching for ships or types of ships it's possible the UP is probing for planets or types of planets.

Galactic News: Curious Developments in Tionisla
05 AUG 3302
For the first time in over a hundred years, a new ship has been added to the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard. Established in the 3100s, the mausoleum was originally a resting place for the rich and famous, but in the economic slump that befell the Old Worlds during that period, the graveyard fell into disuse.
With the graveyard having fallen into disrepair and many of its relics vandalised or looted, it came as something of a surprise when the Tionisla government received a request to inter a recently deceased Commander.
Despite the unusual circumstances, the government of Tionisla processed the application with surprising swiftness, prompting speculation that the individual may have been some kind of celebrity.
Just before the vessel was moved to its final resting place, an onboard beacon briefly activated, transmitting a repeating sequence of curious characters. This continued for a few minutes until a power failure silenced it. The message read "OTSEAFOTSEAF" The significance of the transmission, if any, is unclear.
"I wouldn't worry about it," said Grace Mayweather of the Tionisla government. "We see this sort of thing all the time. It's just a last bit of mischief from the recently deceased. Tricks, codes – sometimes even traps for the unwary. People go mad trying to work these things out, but they never mean anything."
The identity of the Commander in question is not known, but the ship was identified as an antique Cobra Mk III with the unusual hull registry of 'Cor meum et animam'.

The Formidine Rift guys seem to be well on top of the Galnet article - best pursued there.
Not related to UAs in my opinion.

Before I go madly into testing it, (and sorry if that has been tried / excluded, I could not find it) :
Before, the UA was giving us morse code in 4-tuples and 6-tuples corresponding to triangles and lines.
What if the UP is trying to teach us new drawing rules with the UP audio drawing/circle ?
Because the UP 6 min signal still looks like morse to me, only not in 6-tuple / 4-tuple as the UA before, but
more like pairs, triplets, 4-tuples, 6-tuples and occasional singlets.
-= about heart and soul stuff =-
It's very very likely to be a formidine rift clue. (I mean, latin stuff, old cobra mkIII like the old lady and so on...)

Except why would it only use the purrs when the UA used the morse? Does this mean the UA purrs also have a meaning?
Ah, I didn't know about this, and couldn't find a link to such on the first page here. Thanks!
I'm looking at the chirps, not the purrs. IIRC the chirps where the morse signal carrier before. (working with kloopey's awesome stuff).

No problem I don't think Riz had time to add it to the front page before he went away for his rest and relaxation, but you've done a commendable amount of work looking at your doc, so it would be good to pool it all together.
So I don't know if someone wants to continue my work (haven't had much time to do much on ED), but I keep feeling the probes might be in the merope system itself (I figure the UP is very similar to our voyagers)
The other day I just flew towards the nebula from merope and once I hit around 2 million light seconds I started getting signals. Of the 4 I examined all were degraded with various survey caches, but I don't feel like I got anything up to about the 2 million mark. Who knows if I kept going (was going to stop around 3 mil).
That might just be typical behavior though if you start getting out that far.

I'm completely unfamiliar with Formadine Rift but the Tionisla article is very interesting.
Might go take a look once I'm back from my 10k LY round trip for Palin lol

There are no Morse chirps in the UP. The only chirps are the same 4 or 5, static ones, found on the UA as well, randomly showing, among the true Morse Ones. Those are decoration.
I know them very well, and catalogued them very long ago, during the UA decoding. On the UP they are exactly the same. Decoration.
Ok thx. So all kloopey's stuff is worthless (just decorating random morse-like sequences stuff every 8-10 seconds). Good to know.
(Unless I am confusing purrs and chirps, not 100% clear which are which).

I'm just going to come out and say it. I know there are some who are catching on. All others can disregard this if they choose.
The probe image is a pentacle of sorts for finding out the correct alignment of 5c and 5. With the correct alignment, timing and positioning, one can see the images on the surface of Merope 5c and most likely drop a probe to read the full message.
A day on Merope 5c is 6.6 days real time. So it's not wonder people aren't seeing them as well the window is relatively small. The sparkling HUD may also be an indicator of being in the right location/lighting.
Some will say "how can you test this crazy man?"
If we can turn the image into a sort of clock then we'll be able to find the exact time of alignment to perform the "ritual" (dropping the probe). Based upon when I first saw images on the surface (Sunday evening/Monday morning) Saturday should also have a "ritual" window.
It's been hinted at for ages now. Section PR5 row 2 seats 5&6 *perfect viewing height* dead center ice.
A key of sorts...the key of Solomon.
The images I found...
The radiation on the probe image represents illumination from Merope 5.
What better way to fool a group of people who are highly scientific than to make the puzzle something arcane/occult in nature.
Perhaps there is a solution in the code but I believe the ultimate solution involves Merope 5c and Merope5. Michael Brookes did state that some aspects involve the surface.
So if you agree we have work to do before Saturday. I have coordinates to the general area I saw images, which last I checked was too dark to see anything, but at least it's a starting point.

Wait. I don't know what you are referring to. The purrs are those snoring like sounds, that sped up seem like tuba sound. Among these purrs, there are some chirping sounds, I'm talking about them. Those are well known since the UA, where already catalogued, and are static, always the same sound files repeating randomly. The purrs, OTC, are dynamically generated. Always changing. Still undecoded. If they have any meaning at all.

I would like to correlate this correctly.
You say that the chirps on the UA have no deeper meaning and it is the same for the UP, correct?
The UA also had purrs (tuba sound on high play speed) and I could not find any hint that they had some deeper meaning. Are these also just decoration?
But you are open to the assumption that the purrs have some meaning for the UP, correct?
Why should the purrs on the UP have meaning, but not on the UA and at the same time, why should the chirps have no meaning on both?
