Actually, he was not UC. He's part of the Federal Astrocartography department...
I think that's the thing based on Mars, being the Federation's capital and all. I don't think the other powers/independents would stand for UC if it was there.

Ok, so sub-"breeds", so did the mycoid virus hit them both? Did INRA wipe out both "Breeds"? (just to be on the safe side). If so, then the Alliance trying to deliver a cure to the friendly side, but being stopped by INRA makes sense, as does the Alliance actually making a cure.
These are just hypothetical questions, I don't expect a cannon answer.
They were a different group. They were the ones who had Dark Wheel members assassinated.
I think FD have indicated that the INRA biological attack on the Thargoids did not happen in the E D universe.
JR was a member of the Dark Wheel. They didn't have him killed. The Dark Wheel we're looking for Raxxla. JR found it and when he did there were people already there and they had JR assassinated.

The vaccine delivery on the other hand, probably never happened.
I'm pretty sure we are in trouble because we have disabled the only force that kept the 'new Thargoids' at bay.
These 'third race' or ''Kalaxian' thargoids are now advancing because we stopped the 'old Thargoids' or Oresrians or whatever, from flying.
Just point me towards a planet. I'll take care of the rest myself.
You are probably right. I never quite understood if these guys were a separate group or a faction of the Dark Wheel? Lets presume they are a separate group. They are the guys we are looking for.
Need to stop at a station and reload no rep. Here's some iron and anomalous wake scans for you.
The truth will come via multiple routes! (Did you know that radio was invented by 3 different people-an Italian called Marconi, a Russion called Popov, and a Yorkshireman called Emley who left a large mast in place on't moors)
Someone reported from looking at the logfiles (not strictly file dipping so he was let off with an admonition and a reduced biscuit ration for a week) that the hyperdictions have an attached count which appeared to increment if the flower ships were shot at. A little meta thinking suggests that's a clear indication of FD setting us up to either start the next war, or tick off potential allies against the real threat. One thing I like about FD is the subtlety they exhibit at times; one thing I dislike about FD is the subtley, cos sometimes they are just toooo subtle!

Ta! Re-read it a few days back so it's all very fresh at the moment!
And yeah, definitely prime candidates for it. In the version where the whole thing is a fabrication, I'd say it's them behind it even more than in other versions. A classic piece of multi-layered misdirection which would serve their purposes very nicely.

Ah, out of rep, but any mention of Emley Moor needs a virtual +2.
Universal Cartographics comes across to me more as a protocol for transmitting and receiving exploration data, rather than an organisation as such.
Every faction has their own - and gets influence for submissions to it - and there's no visible data sharing between them - whatever 'Universal' refers to, it's not meaning 'single authoritative system'. Both CoR and FA data sales in the competing CGs were through UC.
It's possible that the Pilots Federation were responsible for the protocol design, or that the conspirators have built in back doors, of course.

Anti-Dark Wheel (White wheel ? Pale Wheel ? Cheese Wheel ?) is a clique in Pilot's Federation.
Han_Zen is a member of Pilot's Federation.
Han_Zen claims to not know who makes up Cheese Wheel.
QED Han_Zen is a member of Cheese Wheel.
Get him boys, it's sandwich time.
These are not the wheels you are looking for.... whoosh...
Ah, you are a member of the infamous "Training Wheel" sub-branch then.
In light of this weekend's discoveries and confirmations, there are a lot of unanswered questions surrounding Colonia.
What we have out at Colonia is a settlement of ~1.5 million people (plus another million or so in pending settlements) - with ELWs aplenty to take in billions more even without terraforming; the limiting factor would be infrastructure - much further from Sol than the Dynasty project's bolt-holes.
Was Jaques' misjump planned by the conspiracy? If so, how far back - were the Fuel Rats in on it too? If not, what do the conspiracy think of a new exodus site further out than their original plans and in somewhat better state? Either way, when the threat to the bubble arrives, will they try to take over Colonia? Or are they there already? Did Jaques discover something on his previous trips outside the bubble and independently conclude an Exodus was required - or has a man of his age and connections been part of the conspiracy all along? Is there anything special about Eol Prou and the Colonia Nebula? And who are the "No Look Here Gang" and what do they have to hide?
Quite some time ago I was intrigued by the possibility that he 'knew things'. He's the only sentient being alive that we know of with first hand knowledge of events the last couple hundred years. Sadly he'd gone on walk about and when he finally did return last year he wasn't talking.
Need a "Ask Jacques" a question CG. Bring him enough Lavian Brandy and he'll tell us something interesting.
