Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

[CmdrZaratan]

So, at the moment, we have these beacons:
- Sol (invitation to the following two)
- Eravate, Lave (nonogram)
- Lakland ("CRYHAVOK")
- Takurua (not yet recorded)
Caucuma "Dangerous"

is that all of them?

The Takurua one was covered in another thread. I believe the code key you get from that one is "GETUMBOYS", but I haven't confirmed that one myself.

The short keys from these other satellites will most likely be used to decode longer messages in stations in the local systems to the satellites. At least that's what they did in beta. There may be more hoops to jump through to get the full coded message now we're live.

 

[John Rhys]

Ah - yes. I saw the "GETUMBOYS" on reddit.

 

[CMDR Poet Starwind]

Thanks for the recording.

Translates to "CRYHAVOK". Check local stations for a news article with a code in it.

as in "ranging for revenge, with Ate by his side come hot from hell, shall in these confines with a Monarch's voice cry "Havok!" and let slip the dogs of war." ?

 

[SpocksOddSocks]

I have decoded it. It repeats, "CRYHAVOK"

"3 18 25 8 1 22 15 11" is the numerical pairings.

And let slip the dogs of war...

Dogs of war... hmm

Yeah, that's too simple.

You know, I'm starting to think that if the devs were to start putting snippets of some long time unsolved real world mathematical problems into the game, a solution to it would crop up on this thread within 2 months.

 

[JamyThegreat]

By the way, would be nice to mark all those systems on the map, just in case of some uncanny coincidence with ruins' map.
And another question: how do "X-ray" and "Yankee" at the beginning of Lave and Eravate messages fit in? I mean, if there is X and Y, there's got to be Z somewhere?

I think they're representing vertical and horizontal on the nanograph

Oh, I see. Though, one would get correct system map anyway, as long as dimensions are correct.

Not co-ordinates on the system/gal map, the code that follows both is coding for a nanograph, check first page of this thread.

Yes, I understand, I was just saying that even if we transpose the nonogram, we can still make sense out of it.

It's better in the original Klingon.

Sirius /QUOTE]

Sadly it probably will be too simple but at least we came to the same conclusion! that has to count for something, right?

 

[JamyThegreat]

Yes, I understand, I was just saying that even if we transpose the nonogram, we can still make sense out of it.

How so? We have a diagram of the system we're looking for but no further clues or theories as to where we can find it

Of course, I meant exactly that.
I'm still scratching my head over the damn thing, probably will have to give up until tomorrow.

 

[MacAllister]

Can anyone confirm that the Obelisks on Synuefe xr-h d11-102, that you scan for data, are changing locations?
Different pillars seem to be activating in each of the stonehenges from the last time I was here.

 

[thebullfrog]

Been in and out a few times today, and it's different ones that activate every time for me.

Ah!

Likewise! This is thing hurting my brain [???]

Steve just sent another message with the revised code.

To save you having to listen to the number station again here is the number sequence

{"ver":[[0],[6],[1,1,1,5,5,5,5,5],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,3,1,1,1,1,3],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],[1,1,9,9,9,1,1,9,1,1,7],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,3,1,1,1,1,3],[6,1,5,5,5,5,5],[0],[1,1,1,1,1],[0],[1,1,1,1],[0],[1,1,1,1],[0],[1,1,1],[1,1,1,1,1,1],[1,1],[1,1,1,1],[1],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]],"hor":[[0],[6],[1,1,1],[1,1],[1,1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1],[1,1,1,1],[6],[1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1,1,1],[0],[1,1,1],[5],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[5,1,1],[1],[1,1],[1],[5,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[5],[1],[0],[1],[5],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[5],[1],[0],[3],[1,1],[1,1,1,1,1,1],[1,1],[3],[0],[1],[5],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[5],[1],[0],[5],[1,1],[1,1],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],[1,1],[1,1],[5],[0],[1],[3],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[3],[1],[0]]}

I agree that this is consistent.

However there are 5,121 possible solutions to the bottom-left part of the puzzle, depending which way you arrange the asteroid belt.

I have collated them all here

perhaps a simple search protocol of nearby systems to see if the next clue perhaps is closer and its a much more simple process than previous puzzles

Some of your solutions have two in a row which is not a legal solution. At least I think that's what I'm looking at

Anyone fancying cyphering through these?

Nearby to which system though? Different messages in different systems across the bubble...
