Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

i wonder if takurua 1 is bugged ? velli is another one, im on my way to interact with the pirate site ( and potential loot) seems to be the best bet atm, sothis and algamest were clear of any anamolous <1000ly from planetary body searches. theres a nebula about 220ly away leb or something 2 systems nothing of note so velli is next stop pending other information sources that may come up

I think some of the ships at the Takurua anomaly de-spawn early and it's just a bug. I managed to get one of the prisoners to pop for me earlier, he hilariously attacked me over 4 tonnes of consumer tech, and while I was handing him his butt two authority ships turned up, he said something about "they've found us" and he legged it. I didn't have a wake scanner so I couldn't follow.

Previously I saw one if the pirates but he despawned after about 3 seconds.

Have a theory they spawn more consistently just after the hour. No good data to base that on yet.

Takurua , velli and 8 or so other locations currently. Its becoming quite a complex hunt, well it gives us plenty of things to follow until galnet, or MB drop one of those random smoke bombs

 

[iamgingerbear]

the station is called foothold orbital, are there any "daring" stations anywhere ?

Not on the nav panel, no. I'll scan the planets to see if anything shows up.
something to keep in mind, both the pirates are part of the sirius corp, at least so far on my two drops in with them spawning.
I'm going to fit weapons and threaten them a little to see if they squeal, can't go stealthy in my conda, too big and runs too hot for silent running.

Have a theory they spawn more consistently just after the hour. No good data to base that on yet.

Noticing that at the moment, dropped in 2 or 3 times now after heading to foothold and back, nothing showing up. perhaps the window is 00 - 15. I'll head back just before that to check.

They said nothing new under fire, seems to be a dead end since I've killed about ten of them, not all sirius corp ships either so that isn't anything. Thought that maybe "Daring" was a code word but typing it in the chat led to no reaction. from the escapees.

Back to the planet on the front page, perhaps sending out local bubble explorers with edsm to map as many systems as possible and then see what comes up

Archaeological Excavation Trench Report

Dear Cannon Research Group.

CMDR Derek Trotter here.

Just thought you would like to know that myself and my brother (Rodney) have finished a exploratory trench next to one of the super structures on the main circular feature at the N end of the alien site at Synufe.

It is interesting to note that the obsidian-like stone/metal structures seem to be free standing, that is to say our initial small trench seemed to indicate no buried super-structure. The rock outline vviewed from above suggests buried super structures but this isnt suported by our trench. It appears the rock/terrain features are weathered rock and the black-obsidian alien structures are positioned and deposited within/onto the super structure.

I hope this helps your efforts. Should you require further excavations please feel free to call upon my modest skills set.

Yours

D. Trotter

An interesting article, i wonder if the search for salomes crashed pod has tied in with this in anyway. I guess the anaysis of takurua and velli ( and other potential spots) may tie in with it

Are you referring to the numbers beacons? (Unregistered comms beacons.)

And in which case, how many exactly, and where are they? There's no mention of these at the top of the thread and I'm trying to piece everything together. Indeed, I've discovered the information in that post is unreliable (transmit times are wrong for some beacons mentioned).

 

[dynamicbob]

takurua and velli are the ones im aware of, sol / gateway / achenar are others i believe. Theres others but i havent had time to look back through them

Managed to get a good shot of the ruins when the sun was at an angle. It is very apparent that there is a strong technological vibe to the whole site.

The "landing pad" area looks like a huge saucer shaped craft has left indentations in the earth from the pressure. Same goes for other areas of the ruins, that weren't as apparent before.

Takurua
Play
1. (personal noun) Sirius, the Dog Star - one of the brightest stars in the sky and found in Kāhui Takurua (Canis Major).


hi..maybe relevant......Takurua was obviously a Maori name to me....and look...Sirius, so much like a lot of other hints

Just like Sothis, It's an alternative name for Sirius. Sothis is the ancient Egyptian name for Sirius.

Robigo is a roman goddess that demands a dog sacrifice. 'The Romans celebrated the heliacal setting of Sirius around April 25, sacrificing a dog, along with incense, wine, and a sheep, to the goddess Robigo so that the star's emanations would not cause wheat rust on wheat crops that year'. (Kahina visited Earth around April 25 in 3301).

Ceos is also connected to Sirius and sacrifices.
'The inhabitants of the island of Ceos in the Aegean Sea would offer sacrifices to Sirius and Zeus to bring cooling breezes, and would await the reappearance of the star in summer. If it rose clear, it would portend good fortune; if it was misty or faint then it foretold (or emanated) pestilence.'

Are there other systems without a sirius corporation presense that may have ancient or indirect links as system names (how about velli)

 

[Han_Zen]

Before all of you stop working on nonogram:
6,4,9 may also be: "Formidine rift sector"

I have no idea how you got that, but I do believe the nonogram is Rift related.

Ok a venus link (Vidia-velli) is alternative name for venus.

Might be stating the obvious here, but has anyone tried to scan the relics in every possible order? I'm lead to believe there's 4. Rather than go straight from A to D, maby D to A etc would have some other effect?

Really well captured Cmdr ! +rep

I have visited the site twice, but rather unsuccessfuly, mainly due to SRV fuel bugs, and/or wrong time. I was going to try and capture a HQ definition image, like you have managed to do. Regarding the thin line structures in grid (e.g. bottom centre, within the hexagon), what are they? Raised channels?

Velli 6 Message:

Beacon was previouly decoded as "ENIGMAS"

Outpost in that system had a galnet message that was had the following cipher text: "VAOOC - QCSFTAFGGFUOTPBKAJASFTCPB - QOFBAT 7 - UBTLSAFTABCBD"

Using the Keyed Caesar the decoded text read: "VELLI - PIRATEASSAULTONFEDERATION - PLANET 7 - UNTHREATENING"

Can you give more info on this as I have to put it on the FrontPage? Could be good to know the beacon original message that was then decoded to ENIGMAS.

The encoded message from the Lankano system reads: CONDANI - PROVOCATIONHAZARD - AB 1 = MILITARYCHECKPOINT

Same here: what I knew about this system was a message decoded to CRYHAVOC. where is from this new encoded massage you talk about?

Thanks to both.

Well another lucky observation that led to a test.

Some of the ancient artifacts and all of the relics don't show up on the wavescanner.
Exactly 3 artifacts are not on the scanner: 2 x orbs and 1x cascet all three in the big circle structure.
(borrowed and updated map + screenies of the 3 artifacts)

- confirmation needed (tested 2 instances)
- ideas needed, why only these 3 artifacts and the relics?

Perhaps this is a mistake. It is necessary to write a bug report.
