So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)

You have to look at the context. By mentioning trouble and Thargoids in the same sentence suggests something similar in nature.

The story i believe deeper than just alien ( or whatever ) discovery.

I think there are many political implications in the rift mystery but think its something that is trouble in the same nature as Thargoids.

Not gonna argue there. You have your interpretation and the tough process you base that interpretation on and that's absolutely fine in my book, even if my opinion differs . My point is that we know so little about the nature of the mystery we should be really vary of misquoting or twisting the precious little clues we have.

If we are not cautious we can find ourselves looking for space AI anteaters (ever got licked by one? Much worse than some space bugs) and entirely miss the rouge group of stars coming on us from the depths of void :)

Ahh of course, when i said in the same context as Thargoids i meant in the sense of something dangerous and threatening not in the Alien bug sense.

It could be anything but it has a threatening manner.

Im looking at historical myth and legend right now to try and find something that can connect the clues.

Something thematic that relates to what we know and ties in closely. A central core to the story, its nice to know also that Drew has read enjoyed all the books that I have read and enjoyed.

This makes me believe I have an idea on where this is heading and its the same old story of humanity.

Its trying to find the details and piece them together thats difficult.

Salome's story seems key to many happenings in the overall game narrative but the rift mystery is the old ladys. Salome was just a pawn in that but right now she holds all the cards and anything she did from returning from the rift is where there may be clues.
 
... gonna gang post and respond to J2

:O So close! It should actually be "JO2" - that was my rate/rank in the U.S. Navy. I was a Journalist 2nd Class which is abbreviated as "JO2" which I then did a "Star Wars" style phonetic rendering (OB1=Obiwan, C-3PO=See-Threepio, JO2=Jaiotu) :)

Probably is more about Lincoln and re-reading that Galnet doesn't really fit Salome in other details other than we know she's gone. Considering her embarrassing behaviour she'd be treated like Fergie, let's pretend she doesn't exist, and would never be described as important or close in any way. Is the Emperor married with children, she's got to be watching her back. What plays could Petreus be making to get to the throne. Need a murder board to keep track of all them,,,Trello?

My hunch is that the controversial figure that was arrested is Harold Duval, Hegist's 'insane' son who was heir-apparent to the throne before his daddy threw him under the bus. Arissa may be trying to tie up some loose ends and, last I heard, she and Denton were growing close to each other.

Whoever has been arrested is under 'house arrest' in Achenar. That's Harold's home, not Kahina's. If she were placed under house arrest you'd expect her to be back in Prism. Of course the article may simply be using the term 'house arrest' more loosely to indicate that the person arrested is not being held in a traditional prison.

Alessia's revelations...

  • Salomé discovered something between Tionisla and Cemiess (possibly someone doesn't want her to divulge what she found - hence her arrest?).
  • Whatever it is its linked to the Formidine Rift and the discoveries made in the Pleiades.
  • It is also connected to the Scutum-Sagittarii Conflux and Hawking's Gap.

So, is this Alessia person just a player roleplaying, or a sanctioned part of the story?

She's a sanctioned part of the story and is roleplayed in game, but takes a minor background role as far as we're aware. She has accompanied Salomé at in-game events in the past - the launch of the CoR listening posts in May was the last time she appeared in game at an event.

You'll find things. That's rather the problem: We have so little that it is fairly easy to tie in pretty much anything, especially if you widen scope from Greek mythology to world mythologies.

/headdesk.

Two more huge regions of space? That we had no prior reason to expect anything unusual in?
 
who are the cmdrs who thoroughly scan the eafots sector? i did not take a look at the galmap in edd for a while and was surprised that there are now a couple of dense cubes within the sector. amazing work that puts my crazy zig zagging to shame.

Wow ! The Scutum-Sagittarii Conflux is not so far from Colonia !

And Drew is heading to Colonia... But as a participant in the Colonia Nebula Project... or so we're lead to believe ;) :D

Edit : Actually the Conflux is around 11,000 LYs from Colonia, about half between the bubble and Jaques, but you have to cross it to reach Colonia. I don't think its a coincidence that its going to be one of the most traveled regions in the galaxy once the colony is built so it makes sense that whatever is waiting for unwary travelers will lurk out there!

Fully agree with this and I did mention the same several pages back. We need to be mindful of the text, and context with which each clue has been given. This mystery is esoteric enough as it is, without us inferring further meaning from misinterpreted text :)

English words, with their multiple meanings, can already leave so much to interpretation, without us introducing further changes of wording (or even subtle differences in punctuation!)

There's an expedition on the go, in case you missed it, with details here.

Tell me about it, a lot if thee things are connected and then skewed. For example Greek to Roman mythology to Judaism and christianity.

This is why im now looking at Thematical ideoligies.

and i found an ammonia world with almost 9.5g. crazy big ball of acid brrrr.


[url]http://i.imgur.com/MScnAqjm.png[/URL]

I saw a lot of Ammonia-Carbon planets.

Did that one have red seas, i found ones with green seas and others with red seas.

I found quite a few around Eafots border towards the rift.

It seems that area has a lot of Carbon-Ammonia worlds sone with an atmosphere and some without.

My plotting wasnt as in depth as yours I relied on bookmarks.
