Hail Commanders,
during the Gamescom 2016, we recieved a lot of informations, but also some strange en encrypted videos, where we saw unfamiliar things. And following that, a lot of people decided to interpret what they saw, and it quickly turned into a common "War is coming", or "Thargoïds are coming".
Therefore, I hope there are still some clever people who'll try to think about what they see, instead of preparing for battle.
The following massive text was written by MisterPsit, a french streamer I respect a lot, where he gives an objective opinion of what he saw, according to the Lore of Elite, and where he calls for reflexion. I really loved it when I read it, and I asked for his permission to translate it in English and to post it on the forum. Thus, there might be some mistakes, I hope you'll be indulgent.
Take time to think about it.
Fly Safe !
First of all, let's talk about the legendary curiosity of those good guys. We see something, we don't understand it, so we're going to do our best to explain it. It's normal. The humankind is made in such a way that he HAS to understand. This curiosity could be a real inner strength, if only it wasn't linked to some quirks, and if that curiosity wasn't deeply sick in half of the cases.But we're coming to think about that.
One day, in the year of our Lord 3301, we have found a sort of unfamiliar artefact, floating into space. It was clearly an unknown technology. Well. First instinct: “HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH ?!” Aah, see how greedy humans are... “QUICK, QUICK ! Must sell that thing to a station !” Obviously, smarter people decided to test things on it... naturally. We want to know. And indeed, they understood, by dint of perseverance, that those purring “artefacts” were pointing toward Merope, and were scanning our ships. Of course, in a set a tests, we broke some of them, “to see how they go BOOM, or if something/someone will get out of this or not”.
Following that point, come the breakdowns of some stations… the stations where we sold those beautiful unfamiliar things. “I don’t see what could have gone wrong !”.Then the quest changes , we have to bring back as much artefacts as we can and give them to scientists, in order to fix the breakdowns. This didn’t really work. But well, it’s not our fault, is it ? Artefacts broke our stations ! (just in casewe started to have doubts on our responsibilities… It would’ve been so sad if we’ve ripped the space-time continuum).
Moreover, CMDR Octo (a great explorator I respect a lot, who’s hard-headed) has managed to achieve the impossible : find a Barnacle. A bit too much confident in the humankind, he did that on stream. And guess what ? “We can target those tentacles ?! BUT ! It means we can shoot on them ?!” said many viewers. Great pilgrimage, everyone breaks everything, it’s jubilant, and here again “I don’t see what could go wrong”. Hum, okay. Effectively, we gathered Meta-Alloys, able to repair our stations, by destroying those Barnacles. It’s all good.Having said that, if I were human, I wouldn’t have taken the risk to hit something that beyonds me. Just imagine if this stuff had reacted violently. It could have been such as slapping an hibernating bear in the nose. You know that if you awake him you’re potentially dead.
Here, I’ll do a little break, and I’ll ask you to think (yes, I’m convinced you can). Don’t see the world as a linear genuineness. Future isn’t unique, there are many of them. In fact, there are probably an infinity of them, as many pathways we can imagine, where each single action affects and determines the way we’ll choose to follow.Have that in mind, and ask yourself : if we didn’t start fiddling with the artefacts, to bring them back to our stations, what would have happened ? Sadly we can’t know (anymore). Our actions did that we maybe missed out great things. Or maybe nothing at all. Too focused on a self-centered vision, we wanted to rush into things. Human, if we look at the level of the Universe and the Time, is nothing. We could have taken the time to see if anything could have come from those “Artefacts”.
Now, let’s get to things we are sure about:
------------------------------------------------------------------
But all of that happened, and it’s in our back now, we can’t act on it anymore. Obviously, humans won’t apply some self-analysis on those past events, it’s normal. It’s kinda hard to challenge all that kind of things. Let’s turn towards Future.
We know that, on August 28th, something important will take place. Certainly a meeting, with maybe the source of those strange beacons and artefacts. We are told that a “war” is coming, we are shown images of a ruined Cobra Mk.III in the middle of a field of wrecks, with some strange approaching things.
Stay lucid. Don’t let yourself get carried away by fanaticism. Learn from your past mistakes. It’s quite simple to take pictures out of their context, and to make you swallow them. Who told you that this Cobra and his “buddies” didn’t try to destroy these “unknown things”, which were trying to defend themselves. Who told you that these things didn’t come AFTER a conflict, and aren’t trying to help out ? Nothing at all. We have no guarantee. Develop your critical judgment. Wait for facts.
I friendly remind you that a group of humans, somewhat warlike, owns alien technology, and is looking for, of the latter, creating a conflict between humans and aliens. That would stick to the Diamondback we glimpsed, strangely moving towards a station, as if it was equipped with some advanced technologies.
That’s it ? You start to understand ?
Humans are beings frightened by what they don’t understand. When you’re frightened, you become confused, you imagine the worse, “to get ready”, and by doing so, you bring the worse about. It’s a bit like Anakin in your cinema culture. He sees that Padme is going to die, and he will do everything he can to prevent her death and WHAM, he becomes the cause of her death. Funny, isn’t it ? Funny to see how you can easily get influenced.
------------------------------------------------------------------
One last point. For you who read me, you who think “being no one in the Elite Game”, and as a result your mind has no value. Don’t listen to those pretentious men who’ll come and tell you that you have no right to express yourself, or that your words aren’t worth as much as big groups words. Some great scientists, like Tesla, have often been looked down. For all that, they were not necessarily wrong. Get the courage of your own opinion. Don’t let yourself be pushed around, and don’t be forced to swallow the thoughts some people will shout in your ears. In fact, a bit like what I’m doing right now. Before being “The Great Guys” they actually are, they were like you and me. And you, you might be able to be one day greater than they are. But don’t look for glory. Seek the truth. Because there’s not just one, but several alternatives, depending on our actions... as proved our last exchange with Thargoïds (“blah blah blah Frontier have said they changed the Lore, and my Mom cooked the custard…” Okay, Jean Gavroche, but this is not a reason for us to around one more time, you don’t know what they’ve changed, precisely).
The conclusion to all of this, is that we have no clue of what will happen. Basically, we’ve acted humanely, by wrecking, of course, by taking off, and by seizing goods that were not ours. It will soon be time to take on our acts, but there’s still a way to avoid to have Humans being seen as barbarians. Think about that. Wait and see. Don’t try to rush into things as a hot-headed Anakin falling into the sand (http://tinyurl.com/zuu32z6). Otherwise, you’ll rush right into what you want to avoid. If it’s not done yet.
A form of wisdom would be to stay in our place. The Galaxy isn’t ours. We share it with other species. Haven’t we done enough mistake on Earth ?

Elite and the storyline of the Barnacles : the human greatness in action
We all knew humans were not necessarily crafty, but we could have hoped that in around 3330, they would have learnt from their past.
First of all, let's talk about the legendary curiosity of those good guys. We see something, we don't understand it, so we're going to do our best to explain it. It's normal. The humankind is made in such a way that he HAS to understand.

Now, let’s get to things we are sure about:
- If we chose not to touch those artefacts, they could have, at worst, scanned the ships going by. They wouldn’t have seen any threat from us.
- Our stations wouldn’t have broken down, so no urgent and destructive need to wreck the Barnacles to fix stations.
