The Quest To Find Raxxla

Well the original goal-posts, from the time and state of game when teases were made about Raxxla being in-game and findable, would be a max of triple-Elite (CQC not launched yet), and nothing planetary (Horizons not launched yet).

Also remember Horizons is still an add-on, so base game players couldn't find Raxxla if it was needed, and the assumption is all CMDRs can find Raxxla, which again means no planetary stuff is required.

"For those with eyes to see" or something like this was the line about Raxxla earlier. Just some absolutely random fact about the animal 'eagle': " The eagle eye is among the strongest in the animal kingdom, with an eyesight estimated at 4 to 8 times stronger than that of the average human." -iPatrickDev on Reddit.

I see two scenarios here. One, following the lead previously suggested by Stonn Mrogg, heading to the Eagle nebulae to see what we can see - or perhaps the Eagle Eye is a reference to the program of the same name in Delphi, designed to locate Thargoids.

Furthermore, in Delphi there exists a Thargoid structure. Since Delphi is almost definitely related to the Raxxla story by viture of being the center of the 'world' in Greek mythology, and it is a hotspot for Thargoid activity, being Aegis' headquarters, can we assume the Thargoid/Guardian storylines and the Raxxla storylines are intertwined?

As for eagle nebula - there's a series of white-stars there (11 groups, placed on 11 planes from Sol), i get it how they are an artifact of how the galaxy forge works with real data, still they look even more strange, than cupid's arrow.
Have anyone tried already to draw those 11 separate planes with stars as dots on a plane, may something be coded there in plain sight? Like, some symbols, that could be decoded and point some other place?

Well, I'm out at M17 SECTOR UJ-Z D16 where I estimate is halfway between the Aquila Dark Region and the Eagle Nebula. Now that I'm here...

What am I looking for? lol

I know it's all conjecture but I don't have anything good. Especially about what an Omphalos Rift should look like. Any good foil-covered ideas?

edit-

I guess more to say, should I be probin every body? Was there something about eight moons and ammonia I caught somewhere? I feel like the FSS by itself is gonna let me down maybe.

Omphalos,
"An omphalos is a religious stone artifact, or baetylus. In Ancient Greek, the word ὀμφᾰλός (omphalós) means "navel". In Greek lore, Zeus sent two eagles across the world to meet at its center, the "navel" of the world."
Possibly implying it's an object. Fingers crossed the FSS does it's job and notifies when you find something as unique as this.

Rift,
/rift/
a crack, split, or break in something.
"the wind had torn open a rift in the clouds"
synonyms: crack, fault, flaw, split, break, breach, fissure, fracture, cleft, crevice, cavity, opening
"a deep rift in the ice"

Intresting thing about Omphalos in Delphi - in russian wiki it says, that it was surrounded by two golden eagles, in english - there's no such info.
Though, it might be Omphalos from Jerusalem, and not Deplhi..

I think there is quite a bit of omphalos symbolism in the Robotic Avian.

Small planet at the bottom, axis with up and down markers and a big winged creature at the top.

Aquila, Cygnus and Draco would be likely candidates as winged beasts of the sky.

The eye of Aquila (the eagle) constellation is Altair. It is close to RA 20, more like RA 19.
But there are a few stars at RA 20' 50'', which would be left/west/in the direction Aquila is "looking"

RA (20')XX' (50'')L'' A (primary?)

It’s killing me not to know where you are headed. Please report back what you find though!!

What are the current leads?

From what I understand, mostly thanks to CMDR GURU, the strongest lead is in the Heart and Soul nebula. We've confirmed the parent's woe, and now must try to find the meaning of 'The Lover's Woe'.

I don't know how to investigate Eagle Eye in Delphi, nor do I think the 'between two eagles' lead between eagle and aquila nebulae is valid. Seems like way too large an area to search, unless it's something exactly in between the two, maybe a couple of systems. Either way, I'm heading rimward.

---

"On Cupid's bow how are my heartstrings bent,
That see my wrack, and yet embrace the same?
When most I glory, then I feel most shame:
I willing run, yet while I run, repent."

He seeks love but it causes distress - the lover's woe.


"My best wits still their own disgrace invent:"

By trying/thinking very hard, he sabotages himself.

"My very ink turns straight to Stella's name;
And yet my words, as them my pen doth frame,
Avise themselves that they are vainly spent."

By trying to define the best things about his love through the words of men, those words mean nothing. They come not from emotion, evidenced by the final line of the sonnet.

"For though she pass all things, yet what is all
That unto me, who fare like him that both
Looks to the skies and in a ditch doth fall?"

Her beauty is beyond all things, and he's left standing like an idiot with his head in the clouds. He's the guy who walks into poles while daydreaming. Otherwise, it could mean that it would be futile to chase a woman like that while he is so incompetent.

Oh let me prop my mind, yet in his growth,
And not in Nature, for best fruits unfit:
"Scholar," saith Love, "bend hitherward your wit."

Stop thinking logically, and think emotionally.


And the only thing emotional in ED is the Heart and Soul Nebula. I see a lot of clues pointing towards Heart and Soul, but nothing specific within or any lead forward. Either I'm missing something or we just need to scour that area.

Last thing - I still have no idea what/who the whisperer in witch-space, the deepest siren of the void is.
