Alien Site: Scanned Messages

[IndigoWyrd]

Discovered these scanned messages at alien site. Site resembles enormous barnacle. Theorize this may be an alien "shipyard" where artichoke ships are "grown".
Organic growths in area produce meta-alloys. Scavengers appear to be some form of life. They do not appear interested in SRVs or ships in proximity. Scanned messages are recovered scanning Unknown Uplinks. Message seem to generate every so many Uplinks scanned - perhaps 2 or 3 form a message.

Good job on getting all those different scan results.

What they mean? TBA

But carbon, RNA, organic material, sounds like life form material. Are these massive structure organic, sentient? TBA

Was there earlier, worth the trip.

Usually TBA means To Be announced. For example many stores etc. may have products mentioned on their store page online but because there is no release date for that product its release day is marked as TBA or same with price. Especially many video game publishers use TBA in their marketing material instead of release day/price if they announce the game but don't have release day/price for it yet.

Is undersea coral organic/alive? That's what the alien structures remind me of including the Unknown Ship. Kind of reminds me of the Nephilim in Wing Commander Prophecy, another bug-like alien race with similar looking "chitinous" ships.

From Wikipedia:

"TBA"

To Be Announced, placeholder, "Details may have been determined, but are not yet ready to be announced."

Electroactive conjugated block polymers analysed....

Reminds me of the old Simcity (I think!) start-up messages.

Star Trek - Species 8472?

Quoting Hirogen description: "Species with a dense geneticv material, extremely resilient, his cell are toxic to other lifeformns, apears to resist to a certain degree to damage from energy weapons. His bioships have fluidic systens not unlike brains and circulatory systems. The bioship main weapon is strong enough to destroy a borg cube in a few shots."

All of this seens to point in the same directions as the FD statement about human weapons have no effect on the Thargoids and they are imensely more powerfull, but until now restricted in regions of space ( some rift-like opening to witch space? )

Coral is definitely alive. Coral death is a major environmental issue in many places.

Ships made out or organic materials may be able to soak up weapons fire, limiting damage and may be self-healing (damage control).

If they have a hive mentality, thinking may be distributed throughout the structure. Their weapon ammo, thought to be corrosive, may be produced internally as a by-product of their metabolism.

If they are difficult to kill, I'm strapping a few of these on my ships.
