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

This sound I have had also several times one time i did jump from Apurui to Namon, or to other systems in the bubble i think it is related to a out of malfunction in the fuel scoop

I am searching through EAFOTS sector at the moment.
Some minutes ago it is the second time I heard this strange sound right after entering a system. This time I had some recording software ready.

I jumped into the system with thrust set to zero. Music was muted. Immediately I noticed a strange sound right in front of me. But there was nothing to see.
I started the recording and waited a little bit. Then I checked my left panel and made two turns with my head (EDTracker). As you can hear, the sound was in front of me. After that I tried a 'honk'. After that you can hear some sorting of shutting down sound.

Strange... What is this?

If you apply a steady pressure to a piece of ice it will melt though. Try pushing a fork against a piece of ice, it will slowly penetrate.

For the destruction of the crystal lattice of atoms during melting should be separated from each other: at high pressure, this requires a large energy of thermal motion, which must comply and higher melting point.

Cinetic energy of the meteorit transforms in heat IMHO ... like snowflakes hitting the ground melt.

I must have missed the part where Kahina and the Children of Raxxla shared any information regarding the Rift.
I've seen them repeatedly ask explorers to do all the legwork, but nothing about what they've discovered.
You'd rather give the data to a secretive personality cult that uses violence and intimidation to support their leader?

Just like the Fed Navy & Patreus!

- - - Updated - - -

Pretty much my purpose for this trip - checking the fringes, I may not even go to the beacons themselves, seeing as there are enough recordings and photos that I'll not gain anything from it anyways...

Z...

I do wonder if the fact that both Reorte & Riedquat have the same z coordinate is significant- how does that match against the beacon's z coordinate? Perhaps the mystery is around that height?

Edit: ok, just checked EDSM, EAFOTS EU-R C4-1 is located at -5805.78125 / 129.875 / -5969.875.
So z= 129.875; Reorte has coordinates of 75.75 / 48.75 / 75.15625, so z= 48.75. So to test this hypothesis someone needs to check systems around 81ly *below* EAFOTS EU-R C4-1.

Just checked the other Eafots beacon positions, z=99.5, 151.8, & EAFOTS LZ-H B10-0 D1 hasn't been submitted to EDSM yet. So I think down might be the way to go...

Well initially, I'm going to deliver exploration data to the Feds ;)

Subsequently, I'll be continuing to follow the mythological references in an attempt to tease some kind of meaning from them.
I have a number of leads to follow, once I get back to the Bubble.

The mythological references are hard to follow. I suspect there are several parallel stories, with their own mythology attached.

I think the Persephone Mythology relates to Kahina her self and her personal development.

Kore, the self absorbed and innocent maiden is the old Kahina, living with her family.

Persephone is Kore transformed after being abducted and violated. By her own choice she eats the pomegranate seeds and becomes queen of the underworld. In parallel, Kahina is abducted violated and rescued, but chooses to keep her association with the underworld(possibly the Dark Wheel).

The last aspect of the triple goddess Persephone is Hecate, the goddess of crossroads, entrance-ways, light, magic and witchcraft. Hecate is the Crone(literal meaning: Old woman).

I don't know if the Hecate aspect applies to Kahina.
 
if you hit a piece of ice with a hammer it (ice) does not turn into water.

If you hit it hard enough, it does. You're creating an enormous spike in pressure and the energy has to go somewhere. Some of the kinetic energy is transferred into heat.

If you touch the twisted metal at the impact zone of a car's bodywork or chassis just after a high speed crash, the metal is noticeably very hot, purely due to energy transfer. This is also why car crashes are *really loud*: energy converting.


Obviously there are craters on vacuum-clad ice worlds, as evidenced by our photographs of our solar system, and impact craters are left, but a lot of ice is going to be melted... or vapourised, more to the point. Even if the impact happened in an atmosphere, only a very low proportion of the ice is going to conveniently be heated up to within that relatively small window where it's in a liquid state. Most is going straight through that, past its boiling point. So it's not like a big puddle is going to just pour back in. Moot point anyway though, because if it's an airless [landable] world, the liquid water is going to then instantly boil due to the lack of pressure, from which it will then crystallise again. Liquid water does not exist in vacuum [for very long, anyway], because it instantly boils off because of the [lack of] pressure.

+1. And "Kore" would perfectly fit in with "Core" as seen in the Drew Premonition scrabble thing IMHO.

Are there any Neutron Stars in the rift? If we are not searching for a POI then maybe we are looking for a way to create a rift/portal?

The new neutron star Supercharging FSD stresses them 'beyond operating limits' perhaps performing a jump like this in a weak area of space causes something weird to happen? Maybe if you have meta-alloys or a UA on board for the extra weirdness.....
 
Can you please give me accurate coordinates of PLAA AEC IZ-N C20-1 (HAWKIN) and
PRU AESCS DL-W C15-37 (CONFLUX) from flight logs? I'm trying some calculations. These systems are not in EDSM and I don't have access to the game now. Thank you!

The Core hint is multi-faceted. It connected with several things, I think.

As for the Rift mystery, it's most likely related to the mythology of Cassiopeia.

That story is basically about crime, failure to perform sacrifice and subsequent punishment.

As Andromeda somehow relates to the Duval royal family, it's possible that the horrors of the rift are related to their crimes. The Duvals have of course committed countless crimes, but the genocide on Achenar 6D will top the list.

So it once again proves my point that the surface of the icy planets should be covered with craters as well as the rest of the planets with a solid composition. Am I right?

Depends on a few things according to the horizon program I watched yesterday about a moon in the solar system called enceladus. The moon is covered in water ice but half of it is covered in craters and half is smooth. Under the smooth ice there's activity that causes the water to boil and erupt as water vapour and then refreze.

They are both in EDSM, but the autofill function is a bit slower these days:

If you're looking for the circumcenter of the Gap/Conflux/Rift triangle, it's quite boring. Been there. :)

Mostly, but not quite 'as well as', assuming identical siesmology (which is going to be the main significant factor between two planets being bombarded, because active siesmology = regular re-featuring of landscape). If the ice is a crust over liquid, cratering will heal over more rapidly as the surface evolves.
 
There are a lot of neutron stars on the route from H&S to the bubble. Use them excessively (your preference, of course) and invest in the AFMU. It does cut down on the monotony of buckeyballing it to and fro. There are quite a few that let you get to "transfer routes" (1 - 9 jumps to next neut). With my modded asp, 191.73ly cuts out about 4 jumps at a time.

Thank you very much Kuroshio! I'm still trying calculate interesting lines of view - understand why beacons are placed to some systems. For example Conflux is near of line from Rift beacons to Sagitarius A* but not precisely enough to see intention of gamemasters. But who said it is beacons systems sector ... I still think there is something interesting to found in each of that 3 sectors (Rift, Conflux, Hawkin) and with new coordinates some places will be exactly in line. Similar situation is with bubble. Line from Rift to Hawkin is so near of bubble I went yesterday check it with exploration ship. Few hundreds ly from bubble and there are still systems with untagged distant stars.

Another thing with Persephone is that she is represented with the tarot card No II The High Priestess/Priestess of the Silver Star.
02.jpg


"The High Priestess is also known as Persephone, Isis, the Corn Maiden and Artemis. She sits at the gate before the great Mystery, as indicated by the Tree of Life in the background. She sits between the darkness and the light, represented by the pillars of Solomon’s temple(built by Hiram, whom shares name with Drew's late father and is represented in Prism with Hiram's anchorage), which suggests it is she who is the mediator of the passage into the depth of reality. The tapestry hung between the pillars keeps the casual onlookers out and allows only those initiated to enter. The pomegranates on the tapestry are sacred to Persephone. They are a symbol of duty (because Persephone ate a pomegranate seed in the underworld which forced her to return every year). The blue robe the Priestess is wearing is a symbol of knowledge. She is wearing the crown of Isis symbolising the Triple Goddess. The solar cross on her breast is a symbol of balance between male and female.
In her lap, she holds the half-revealed and half-concealed Torah, representative of the exoteric and the esoteric teachings and higher knowledge. The moon under her left foot shows her dominion over pure intuition. The palm indicates fertility of the mind and the cube on which she sits is the earth. The planet associated with the High Priestess is the Moon."

On the Tree of life, The High Priestess is the path of Gimel(a Camel that can carry enough water to cross the abyss). The longest and most dangerous path form Beauty(the Sun++) through the Knowledge(Sirius/Sothis and winged serpents), across the abyss to The Crown and Limitless light. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_Qabalah#/media/File:Tree_of_Life_2009_large.png

This stuff is mostly beyond my comprehension. I hope someone can make use of it. :D
