According to some the name we are looking for, in a T-9, is already here. It's just a matter of whether or not this particular character has anything of value to say to us.

I just had visions of everyone turning up at Cail...then the NPC turns up at Caill , or Cailla... (Yes, I was searching for Cail so I could be there too, and then these others popped up).
 
It hasn't begun yet. It begins in 25 minutes in Cail. Though it seems as though the REAL event might be in Apademak at 9pm in-game time.

Thank God for that, I have time to make a bacon butty and get some coffee :D

I had assumed that the clues etc would begin to drop today though, rather than kicking off early yesterday. I know it's a long and ongoing process etc, was just how I interpreted what the message said. Not to worry.
 
Someone on the good ol' subreddit posted this:

I'm personally not 100% but hey, anything is handy right about now! I'll leave it up to you guys to decide as my PC is knackered and I can't check for myself. :)

To be honest it fits the kind of mystery we have. ''One of my friends always lies''

I feel like this is going to be similar to that logic puzzle. ''There are two paths with two guardians. One speaks only lies, the other speaks only truths. One path leads to paradise, the other to hell. You may ask only one guardian ONE question. HOW do you figure out which guardian is lying so you can determine the path to paradise?''
 
So I get up and check the thread before heading out to PRE Logistics Gamma for this anticipated content since 'the hunt begins on the 28th'.

And discover that it actually began at 3am on 27th.


Hmmm.

Memo to FD: Buy a calendar.
I did this as well. Was on to the 6th clue and then discovered all the messages had been found and decoded already. What enormous fun! :(
 
I wonder if Cmdr Logan Kohl being in Cali in the Type 9 at the prescribed time, just serves to confirm we decoded the message correctly, and we need to wait for the next step
 
Just got wiped out in Cail. Took less than 5 seconds. And to make it worse, by <redacted>.

Not to worry, everybody can just play this content designed for the community in splendid isolation in solo because that's clearly the way that the developers want you to do it, rather than it being a collaborative experience in-game.

I mean that must be the explanation right? Because the bookies stopped taking bets on whether the usual suspects would turn up to kill exploration and science ships about two minutes after it was announced.
 
Little off topic, but i have been out in the Rift for months. Sold my data to Maia and took my first planet base mission. System was Pleiades Sector IH-V c2-16.
Question: Is it normal that system have two capital ships, three convoys and a lot of traffic in so remote place?

Everything's peaceful here on Xbox @ Cail. Never ever saw as many CMDRs in one instance on Xbox before - and all are nice to each other. Respect !

"The system has a single M-class star." - wow, that narrows it down! Now we only have to search about 2 billion systems. What are we waiting for? ;)

eta: I wonder if this is something to do with the old "one door leads to heaven, the other to hell" riddle.

I think Kohl and the exchange are REAL, but the hint that he is red carrying fish means ignore his information.
