Jumped in after the flower had already triggered systems shutdown ?
Ah gotcha, I see where the mutual misunderstanding's coming from. Luckily we're both right which is always a nice position to be in!
So when you're talking about a group you mean a particular shape/glyph if I'm now understanding correctly. (So there's 5 individual glyphs/patterns/shapes, so 5 groups)
When I'm talking about the 2 groups of 4 I'm referring to the basic grid which the patterns are set out on. I'm treating this as the same basic grid layout as seen on the relic and obelisks except with a single large triangle where a group of 10 small triangles are on the relic and obelisks.
So in the first pattern (Row 1, Column 1) from your post we have:
- large triangle at the bottom position
- both groups of 4 above the large triangle, both with the same activation pattern; On, Off, On, On
The second pattern (Row 1, Column 2) then has the same grid as the first but with the placement of the triangles upside down.
The second row then illustrates the point more. The basic grid is the same as in the first row but facing the other direction. We then have:
- Large triangle in the middle
- A group of 4 small triangles above the large triangle
- A group of 4 small triangles below the large triangle
In Column 1 the activation pattern for the small triangles are then (Reading from left to right):
- Top group; On, On, Off, On
- Bottom group; Off, On, On, On
And in Column 2 the activation pattern for the small triangles is the same as in Column 1 but upside down:
- Top group; Off, On, On, On
- Bottom group; On, On, Off, On
Row 3 Column 2 is the same as R1 C1.
Everyone got power back when the first ship left. The power loss is part of the scripted event sequence, so it makes sense that the loss goes away at the point where the ship starts to leave.
Note the second ship trying to get into position and not being able to due to the first ship being there. The collision detetection prevented the second ship feeding/refuelling/whatever until after the first ship buggered off.
I like buggy instances because they give you a look under the hood that you wouldn't otherwise get.
That was pretty cool, Cookie.
No-one commented double Argonauts in Pax video, above this huge mysterious something on the ground...
I was half expecting them to clip into each other and use their beams simultaneously. At least they didn't do that...
If there's one thing that English-coded aliens know how to do - it is to queue
since we are actively seeking knowledge on their language and figuring out how these glyphs work, I figured some cliff notes on the Guardians biology would help as well as some key notes that may help in finding their Homeworld which will also assist in solving the Glyphs:
Some thoughts:
- Similar to humans, but taller, more slender, skin tone was different shades of red.
- Bipedal - 2 legs, 2 arms
- faces are proportionally smaller then humans
- round eyes, darkened from evolution under a very bright sun
- very small nose due to evolution (vestigial)
- Ears formed tightly to the skull, different acoustic chambers
- 4 fingers, 4 joints in arms allowing a complex sign language
- small mouths, food needed to be cut into small pieces
- serrated edge on one part of the "forelimb" for hunting and cutting food
- blood that functions like ours, similar DNA and RNA, possible common ancestor to humans.
- similar environmental requirements as humans, Earth Like World
- Lower gravity then Earth, warmer then earth, jungle like regions, very hot very humid.
- Thick Skin, no fatty layer.
- Possible Dimming of the sun
- each glyph represents a word - but can allow for additional layers of meanings by including movement.
Some thoughts:
Guardians use of electromagnetic propulsion in space ship technology plus the gel cocoon for their pilots, and more importantly their distaste of technology and their incredible bio-engineering feats to me say the "flower ships" could be of Guardian Origin. The EMP drive could be what is disabling our technology, and the center of that unknown ship does look like a gel cocoon of sorts.
The glyph for moon incorporates the waxing and waning of the moon as seen from the guardian homeworld. There are a lot of variables involved which could alter how the moon looks when viewed from their homeworld such as the axial tilt of the planet, the rotation speed of the planet and the moon, and the orbit of both the moon and the planet. It could move a different direction then ours, from west to east, or from north to south for example.
So the guardian homeworld is an Earth Like World, similar to ours but with less gravity, near a very bright sun that may have dimmed over time with a moon

@Unbreakable and @Thatchinho, all out of rep but we seem to be on the same page. I'm out in the middle of nowhere following up on a fool's errand type idea so turning back toward the ruins now.
I think we need to gen up a glyph mapping project which should sort out at some level:
I think we need to gen up a glyph mapping project which should sort out at some level:
- Enumeration of all unique glyph combinations (I'm guessing that's a few hundred at most, maybe less due to, repeats)
- Catalog pertinent metadata for each glyph, site designation (Alpha, Beta Gamma), and anyy other relevant possibly relaveant information that creates a unique characterization of that gylphs environment.
- Look for repeats, cross reference with metadata to see what repeats there to create a glyph-environment correlation
- Cross reference with some of the language text to see if we can map a given L# obelisk with a particular glyph (e.g. gylphs near the L13 obelisk that triggers the moon reference)
- If we can crack one word it might lead to two, at which point a pattern may emerge allowing us to crack the whole thing
i was looking at the triangles thinking maybe its some crazy fluid motion like the ninja hand signs from naruto, but there always seems to be a larger triangle present in the glyphs. That leads me to believe with the 4 joints in the arm that they could easily form the larger triangle with 1 arm, leaving the other arm + 8 digits open for signing. I drew a crude picture with stick figures:
of course the life sized version is much larger, and redder, and the mouth probably has sharp teeth as most carnivores do...but this gives you a general idea.
note: the circles represent joints, there are supposed to be 2 more then humans have

The picture didn't come across for me (very tiny)...
updated with a direct link to the picture instead of an img link
Any news on how to get an alien encounter in Solo

The ||- on the left reminds me of the spectogram image.
Haha, fist shaped ships, they just punch your conda to death
Yes, it looks like that doesn't it. Perhaps the flowership anti-gravity field is limited in volume so the Courier wasn't affected? or perhaps it only triggers system shutdown on first entry?
