Elite Dangerous: Halloween Event 2022

the drops on twitch - 6 paints were given today (a set of 4 Halloween themed and the 2 autumn ones)
Oh, why didnt they just say that then?

"Stay tuned to GalNet, in-game or via our website for your first hint, coming this Thursday, 20th October."

I saw nothing on either!
 
Wondering what the clips of a player walking around a settlement were for, they kept showing them but said nothing.
Edit: I know they led up to the end but maybe there is more to them then just that

It was @Bottom Hat who did it!
 
It might be a
Beafort Cipher, with the key "z"
Leading to
GUARIJIO
Anybody close to that to check it out?
Yes... I am looking arround right...
And I found this:

In the orbit of Guarijio B 3 B I found a satelite called "The Trial 2/3"... it gives me a long encrypted message... Not sure if it the one we was suposed to find. And it looks like there are 2 more of them in this system... Also, there is a abandend Mill called "Goddard mill" on the surface of B 3 B with 5 communication arrays to scan what gives you 5 interrogation... Maybe That is related to the Trial in the orbit and has nothing to do with the Event now.

So it needs some confirmations....

Might well be nothing, But it was kinda odd to see an actual star system popping up in the decoded texts. Thanks for checking CMDR!
Also it says something like "predict the perpetrator's next move" so it might take some time until anything happens at all. But when something happens it might be there.
 
Hopefully you're right because as I said, if so, it was easier just to say it's open to all Elite Dangerous players - Anyway, hopefully it's something fun and good 😀🤘
There might be someone out there doggedly launching pre-horizons Elite Dangerous. (I have it in my launcher still?)

I know... A reason why I did check the system... And I fear it could be a red hering... Just in case I did look for more...
Found "Trial 1/3" in the orbit of B 2 C... Also "Vardey Prospecting" on the surface... Obviously related...

And I think you are right... Maybe it will something happen there...

"Trial 3/3 is flying arround B 4 A... On the Ground you should check Downeys Junkyard... To get the verdict and even better, to have some fun with your SRV... A good place for some jumps. lol... Will decrypt the textes later... At least then we will find out if it is related to the aloween event or not

Decrypted...
for every human who ever existed
there is a book of deeds
listing events both insignificant and essential
within these countless passages
are many dark chapters
we shall meet six individuals
whose stories contain a twist
a secret that must be revealed
a crime that must be punished
death's kiss has been gifted to each sinner
upon this planet the trial begins
five doorways to a new location stood here
who will enter them?

upon this planet the trial continued
testimony was heard
pleas were bargained
a full confession was required
to absolve the sinners of their sin
the judge recognises true remorse
only the two most honest will leave this place
to face a final verdict
a chance at redemption

upon this planet the trial ends
verdicts have been passed
justice for all
did you follow all of the court's proceedings?
will you discover how this story ends?
i wonder what your book contains
what moments fill your record
would you be considered innocent?
something to keep in mind
for next time...

Each planet also has a POI on its surface with logs, these aren't encrypted and I won't copy them here because effort.
 
Fyi the trial beacons can be deciphered with the same beaufort cipher with the letter "Z" as the key.

That's what decodes them as it decoded the word on Galnet and gives what was mentioned above by DrinkyBird.

I put the planets cause I intend to get on those, in order to check them out. As soon as my steam deck is recharged :p
Also, I mixed up the last two lines of the part 1/3... fixed:D
