Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 10 - The Canonn

I think this is concrete evidence that the Thargoids are hostile to the Gaurdians

Don't ever become a scientist. Jumping to a conclusion with a data set of 1, and not doing the obvious next test, eg what does it do with anything else is just nuts.

I mean by that logic, how do you know it didn't react like that because there was a commander there who's name started with P?

Perhaps showing the territory of two distinct alien factions (yellow vs blue) in the distant past? :O

Thargoids versus guardians.....

 

[Factabulous]

More 'folklore' than 'verified method' methinks
RNG is what it is.

I am tempted to do a science tomorrow and see if it was me getting good RNG, or others not showing the correct level of zen-like calm [alien]

I suppose if I am just lucky with UP RNG I can set up a stall outside the wreck and sell 'em to CMDRs on their way in - for a reasonable price

Watch it from 5m50s

Thank you to the Commanders doing this!

EDIT: Is it possible to record the ambient sounds while the base is openly hostile? It could reveal a picture.

I think it is worthy of note that the mechanism even accepts their tech, it does not seem to accept anything else I tried to throw into it, even other stuff I found lying around the base! How interesting.

I might go on a journey to obtain unusual things to put in the mechanism, relics and such.

People shouldnt jump to "tharg vs guard" until it's verified only guardian items cause that reaction. Also I am of the belief the map is probably not of another galaxy but that's just personal opinion about how devs would develop the mystery. I also want to point out there are quite a few "stars" below the 2 arms like they're way above/below the plane. I'd be interested to see an aerial view when the site is rejecting an item. Seems it's pumping something up or down. Can the top open?

Totally agreed.
The holographic previews before dropping the items in suggest that two must be the UP and the UA.
The third is open.

The UL gives the 'galaxy' representation and the stereograph data.
Anything else will likely provoke the hostile response but is worth investigating.

The third option worth investigation are the other new Unknown Items.

Was being rude absolutely necessary? I agree with your points, but you really didn't have to preface your comments with this junk.

Its a game. Simmer down tonto

I'll chime in here to say that I tried depositing other items in the chutes - like their own tech samples - and it didn't take. There's a reason the machine accepted the Guardian relic and went ape-poop over it.

 

[Bit.Slade]

Saw this earlier and it made me laugh. It really does seem like the alien is giving Malic the stink eye in that video.

And it may very well be entirely Guardian related. But not checking is potty.

 

[Thatchinho]

However this might happen with any item that isnt the link.....can someone test this before we say they dont like or have seen the guardians?

And no im not hating just quoted your message

Actual & virtual +rep for sound thinking & not jumping to conclusions.

 

[Sterlino]

I have tried to enter with SRV from the top but the spikes are too dense.

i succesfully entered the top area, there is a point where you can enter.

well... i was there with the UP in the cargo, nothing happened.
i went there without the UA thought... i wonder if there could be any difference or not.

 

[VR Morgan Grimes]

Try it with one of those Leathery eggs from Ridley Scott in Zaonce

Your the second hater now, keep on coming.

 

[Thatchinho]

Yup. This could do with being tested. This might be the result of anything it is not expecting being used, as opposed to a Guardian technology specific reaction.

& +rep here and to anyone else who had the same thought.

 

[Erid]

It's time to look closer!

[knowles2]

Has anyone tried overlaying the holo map with the galaxy map to see if any stars align?

 

[Squid Gumbo]

Tbh i tjink the other two pod holes behind the link hole gives (or is suposed to give) uas and ups, having them in your cargo hold just makes the structure "think" you are a thargoid due to their imprint. Maybe justaybe anyways

I'm along those lines as well. Just as with the Thargoids that jump in to scan ships and then leave immediately after. Activating the artifacts could send out a collection signal for the mats gathered by scavengers...or any other kind of signal. Even an alarm possibly

 

[KineticImpulser]

LordZoltan is tracking with me... anyone care to weigh in on my next leaps?

[I--] = 4 = Unknown Device = that big map thing that got activated

filled circle = objective complete
hollow circle = next objective

This is a set of instructions. FOR HUMANS TO FOLLOW.

Okay, I know I'm thinking too hard about this, but I find it compelling (it doesn't mean it's right though, I know, but it's fun!)

...[words]


And this actually leads us to be able to make a prediction about whatever '| - -' is, if we are indeed intended to interpret that also as a labelled 'thing':

Whatever it is, is unique: it doesn't have any parts common to UAs, UPs or ULs - and the Unknown Device would appear to fit that bill.

My $0.02 on the spectrographs:

-The symbol next to the UA icon corresponds to this [--|] which corresponds to line from the edge to the center which implies "direction" which corresponds to the UA behavior pointing to Merope.
-The symbol next to the UP icon corresponds to this [-||] which corresponds to the waves from the dot/dash to the edge which implies "distance" which corresponds to the UP behavior giving the distance from Merope to COL 70.
-The symbol next to the UL icon corresponds to this [-|-] which corresponds to the curve connecting the UP to the UL which implies "connection" which corresponds to the UL behavior linking the two other items to activate the UD
-The symbol [|--] doesn't have a corresponding drawing directly on the 2nd spectrograph... it has 6. On the top and bottom circles, dual lines extend from the solar system diagrams (and the UL icon) to the edges and beyond to the center. This appears to imply triangulation (linking 3 distances and locations to find a direction).
-The globe in the center corresponds to the globe at the bottom of the second spectrograph. This implies it is the location from which the 4 "Unknowns" can be located and activated. In other words, it's the starting point of the 2nd spectrograph and the end point of the 1st.
-The two waves on the 1st spectrograph seems to correspond to the baseline distance between Merope and COL 70, which implies that the three waves are 1.5 times the baseline distance. Which seems to imply that the target system is 1306.53 LY from the three base systems.
-Alternatively, we may need to unlock the COL 70 permit, wing up 4 pilots, send a UP to COL 70, send a UA to Merope, put a UL in orbit around HIP 14909, honk everything and have a CMDR watching the map. But this seems pretty convoluted.

I don't think this is possible. If you zoom out in the galaxy map you can't really see individual stars. The star density is just way too high. I mean I am sure the stars in the chamber map probably represent individual specific stars, but I don't see how we could possibly do a matching overlay to identify individual stars.
