Also, I sense we may have to record each obelisk and overlay the pattern, it's a hunch i'm working on but need a whole single message to start :)

I was thinking the same thing exactly: what if the full message comes out from all the overlapped obelisks sounds? ;)

1 Hour recording on the FP.

Its still nagging at me that the Delta pattern is the key. Delta is listed as Language data, and why was it so important to have just Delta on the data gathering CG?

I could be a mile off here, but could the Delta pattern be easier to decode and point us in the direction of how to decode the other patterns and/or the ruins?

Just a thought, can't check at the minute, as I'm stuck at work.

You could be right!

We should not forget that we were given a big hint on the descriptions:

Pattern Alpha Desc: Data captured from obelisks found at ancient ruins. This data pattern is distinctive and has been designated as 'Pattern Alpha'. There are many theories as to what this data might represent. Com Log: Ancient Biological Data
Pattern Beta Desc: Information recorded from obelisks found at ancient ruins. This data pattern is distinctive, and has been designated as 'Pattern Beta'. The meaning of this pattern has not yet been determined. Com Log: Ancient Cultural Data
Pattern Delta Desc: Captured from obelisks found at ancient ruins, this data pattern is distinctive, and has been designated as 'Pattern Delta'. The meaning of this data type is not yet known. Com Log: Ancient Language Data
Pattern Epsilon: Downloaded from obelisks found at ancient ruins, this data pattern is distinctive, and has been designated as 'Pattern Epsilon'. As yet, the pattern's meaning is unknown. Com Log: Ancient Technological Data
Pattern Gamma Desc: Unknown data extracted from obelisks found at ancient ruins, this data pattern is distinctive, and has been designated as 'Pattern Gamma'. The secrets of this information have yet to be unlocked. Com Log: Ancient Historical Data

BUT THE FACT THAT EACH OBELISK IS GIVING RANDOM PATTERN DATA IS NOT HELPING AT ALL....

For people doing recordings, once you have finished it may benefit to scan the obelisk and note which pattern it was!

the ancient language will be important because it will give us a clue if they were human, alien or even AI

OK Commanders - I've taken a look at the longer sample, it's a different pattern! - Which means we need a 90m recording from each obelisk - This pattern is offset from the previous recording, so we need to know which obelisk these recordings are coming from.

Unfortunately this pattern was not long enough to loop, so I think we need 90m recordings

After looking a lot (too much) at the obelisk patterns, I don't think they are random, because :

  • The whole sequence is really a loop. Each state differs at most by 5 switchings, most by only 1 or 2.
  • They are rather long pauses ~10 frames between some parts of the sequence.
  • The sequence is rather "long" with 96 states, enough for a message, and contrary to the barcode thing, it loops. There is the marking on the relic and the ones on the base of the pillar. IMO way to much stuff to be a red herring.

I am currently testing some hypothesis that at the very least might help discard some possibilities.

The whole sequence might just be a linear-feedback shift register producing a maddening red-herring. But that would be really nasty XD.

I mean that Nature abhors a vacuum (с) and few "dead triangles" in patterns is very illogical.
Yes it can be several (96!) words with "dead triangles" but ... need time to think...

I'm with everyone else on the importance of the Delta Pattern - This being the Language Pattern - So it's vital we get this 90m recording to further the research on the Obelisk code! - I have a feeling it will be the key that goes with the other patterns (The Translator) pattern.

Unfortunately you cannot scan the Obelisk before you record so we need to record 90m then scan, if it's not delta keep it anyway as we will need this later anyway!

I think Delta Pattern was selected because it is grade 4 engineer material...
May be i'm too sceptic but in all this alien things i want to find that is important and where is red-herring.
Red-herring ... :D sometime nice to taste new words.

Before recording hours and hours of these things check if there are any overlapping segments across any of the recordings so far, I suspect you'll find none though

Just Checking In

I arrived at IC 2606 Sector PS-J B9-10 last night.

Currently I am aimlessly flying around planet 3 (because it has a massive Crater that is grren from very high up, though as you get closer you hardly notice the Tint at all, or anything else for that matter, No POI's either.

Although i Did save an Orca being hassled by 3 eagles, 2 sidewinders and a viper MKIV, as i jumped in to the Distress call (Threat 3) he said "I hope your here to help" which i thought was quite funny, as though his day could indeed get worse.

My Beams made short work of the pirates but the NPC had jumped already. Other than that not found a thing, I shall keep wasting my time, circling this Icy ball of emptiness in case i happen to discover something actually worth reading about.
