The Pyrrha system was player-named, so there's highly unlikely to be any connection there, unless Frontier retrospectively added one.There was her daughter - Pyrrha. Far system in Colonia if I'm right.
They are not clones, they are Raxxlan lizard people living with humans wearing same human model skin suit...There was such a mess of female characters built between Oolite and Reclamation/Premonition that I wouldn't be surprised if DW/FD ended putting them all in the same clone sack.

In Premonition in the holofac vid played at Salomé’s trial it is the spiky-haired woman, not Rebecca, who represented TDW and was talking to Thorn & Lestenio. Might be Elyssia Fields but thought she would have been dead by this time since she was in the original novella. Doesn’t preclude Rebecca being a member of TDW but is not evidence of that. Need to find a description of Elyssia’s hairstyle. Any other named character with spiky hair?
I interpreted the books as Rebecca was a part of the Club. It could have been that the Club and TDW were associated in the Dynasty plot since I think DW said they were often antagonistic to each other, which implies occasionally they are not and may work together at times. Don’t know, rambling, awakened too early by restless pets, need more coffee.....
I’d say 99% it’s Elyssia. Drew hinted very heavily at the time. ‘Those who know the old lore will know who she is’ or something similar to that IIRC.You know what? I hadn't noticed that. I guess when I read Premonition I must have skimmed over that since I was so familiar with the short-story version. Thanks!
Elyssia was a clone. I think the best explanation is that the spikey-haired woman is a subsequent clone.
Given that Rebecca was not the person talking to Thorn & Lestenio, I agree.
Rebecca was definitely employed by The Club at one point. I think she was more of a tool not a member.
Yep.I think they are all the same model as Elyssia. The description of the old lady from Reclamation made me believe she was actually Elyssia, long before Premonition.
Yep.
Plus technically that makes them all a clone of one of the original flight crew from the Teorge colonisation ship. I do wonder just how far back things go.
Managed to track down the post from Drew that I was talking about. It says lore, not old lore, but pretty much right other than that.I believe that Drew's old Q&A page regarding Reclamation refused to identify if "the old lady" was Rebecca or Elyssia.

In Chapter 6 of Premonition, when Salome meets the spiky haired lady and the old lady on the Cor Meum Et Animam, there’s the following about the spiky haired lady:
“There was something odd about the way she moved; it was almost mechanical, almost too precise to be human.”
Which tallies with Elyssia being cybernetically enhanced.
Salome also observes that the spiky haired lady is completely unchanged since their last encounter. That’s then in contrast with her observation of the old lady:
“The old lady from the hospital! But even older … so much older!”
The spiky haired lady is also very protective of the old lady. That could imply a daughter-mother type protection, but the spiky haired lady goes on to compare Salome’s belligerence with that shown by the old lady when she (the spiky lady) first recruited her.
It’s all very strongly suggestive that the spiky haired lady is older than the old lady, and aging at a much lesser rate.
When the Feds assault the ship the spiky haired lady withstands a lot of firepower and then is revealed as being cybernetically enhanced.
“She staggered back, shook her head and kept coming, firing her own weapon and taking out another of his men.
‘Lethal force!’ he yelled, jabbing at his own sidearm and resetting the ammunition selector. This time it would kill …
He fired, hitting the woman again. She was thrown backwards this time, her mag-boots’ grip on the flooring broken. She landed heavily against a bulkhead.
And then got back to her feet.
The commander stared in dismay. The left side of her face was oozing blood now, and her right arm was twisted at an awkward angle. Her chest was blackened and burnt from the blast, clothing torn, ripped and smouldering. In places her skin was gone completely, revealing …
Metal.
Cybernetics!
She was bringing the gun back up again.”
Given it all, I’ve got to go with it being a very high probability that the spiky haired lady is Elyssia.
Other thing some guy in a german forum wrote that when using the fss on a BH after 10-15 seconds one can hear words. Didn‘t try that as of yet. Do we have any knowledge on that?
Enterable with an active map room. Some are collapsed and non enterable. I was just thinking since Omphalos is mentioned and Delphi has been renamed at the same time, the thargoid base is really the only thing there that would point us ‘somewhere’. The Omphalos rift is supposedly housed at Raxxla, and the only other Omphalos connection we know of is Delphi. Thinking maybe Delphi will at least point us in a beginning direction if there’s coordnance to be had from the base there.
It’s something Drew said in his lore questions thread. See a few posts back:Sounds logical and believable, though wasn’t aware Elyssia was cybernetically enhanced. Is that from the original novella? Dont remember it.
Wondering now if there might be a link to Jaques???? Who I think is the only other character known to be cybernetically enhanced.
