FAR GOD CULTISTS RESCUE SEO JIN-AE​

23 MAR 3309
Seo Jin-ae has arrived safely in the Luyten’s Star system, aboard an Order of the Far God megaship.
A message was transmitted by the First Apostle of the True Chapters, a proactive sect of the pacifistic religion, from aboard the Testament:
“The one known to non-believers as Subject D-2 or Seo Jin-ae is sacred to us as the Preceptor – the first human to interpret the will of the Far God. We know her to be a holy emissary, on a personal pilgrimage that exposed her to great danger. I was able to convince my brethren to locate the Preceptor and offer her safe harbour from the heretics.”
“I beseeched the Preceptor to help us hear the Far God’s divine thoughts as she does, but she informed me that the time was not yet right. She requested a reunion with her friends, who also seek ways to commune with Its heralds. While this insistence on collaborating with the unworthy is curious, we have faith that the Far God guides her path. One day the Preceptor will prepare us for the extinction of all life. It is our honour to serve her.”
Professor Alba Tesreau gave a statement to the media:
“I am very grateful to the First Apostle for her help. The Testament’s timely intervention routed several unidentified hostile ships that were hunting Seo Jin-ae. Once she has completed a medical assessment, we hope to learn more about her recent findings.”
Congressman Tom Gillespie has instructed Aegis not to make formal contact with Far God cultists, whose faith is outlawed in the Federation as well as the Empire. A week’s clemency has been issued in recognition of Seo’s safe return, but the Testament’s presence deep in Federal territory is likely to irritate President Hudson.

is likely to irritate President Hudson.

Oh good. Now, will it annoy him more than or less than not being President in 3 months?

 

[Rainbro]

Let's hope he doesn't try to kill two birds with one stone...state of emergency over the Thargoid Spy Invasion perhaps?

Looking forward to her PPP (Power Play Portrait)

 

[O'Roarke]

Gotta admit, did NOT expect this plot twist!

 

[BDelacroix]

Seriously? Looks like wild goose chase was correct.

When approached by Vox Galactica, Seo Jin-ae's mother had this to say:

"She's not the messiah! She's a very naughty girl!"

 

[Hekateh]

Far Deus Ex Machina

You and I both know that is exactly what is going to happen.

"Testament" flight plan according to the ship log: Panjabel-Lodhary-Tangaroa-Ehlanda-Duamta-Lindol, where is the last system marked as the current location (which is wrong).
I'm not sure if it the actual flight plan for the following weeks or something the ship admins forgot to fix.

PS: there is a big and seem to be new "introduction" text at the flight plan message.

Hudson? Doing something dumb? Never.

If he attacks the Far God cult again, I’ll only do something about it if they didn’t try to screw with Seo somehow. A possibility which very much concerns me. If they did, I’m watching that fire burn from afar.

 

[DemiserofD]

I must admit, this possibility was NOT on my mind, but now that it's happened, I'm a big fan.

 

[Alec Turner]

The Preceptor, formerly known as Seo Jin-ae, formerly formerly known as D2.
This is getting ridiculous!

If this doesn't stop, she'll incur the wrath of space khaleesi.

I hoped there will be more of ingame content and not that story will unfold mostly in gallnet. This part with mising Seo had really nice potential to bring fun with some nice search/exploration plot, but real execution in game was poor. Puzzle solvable in 1/2-1 hour (I hoped for more, but ok, imo it can be acceptable) with the need to wait a week for confirmation that there is nothing more and let players search in meantime for something what is not existing (this imo is a problem) is not the best way how to keep players interest. I mean ... ED offers so huge playfield, is kind a shame that it's not better used.

As example, suggestion, for this "Seo missing" plot: put in game an persistent surface beacon or even better crashed ship to 6E planet in area 100-150ly and you have nicely set playground with numerous, BUT not limitless, amount of planets, and this way give players nice chance to have fun with searching/exploring. And ofc content of that beacon/ship wreck message should be clear enough to say that this "puzzle" is solved. Next week gallnet article then can then give more detailed picture information what had have happened.

 

[simulacrae]

Nice to see the Faithful coming to the rescue of their Teacher

 

[Kira Goto]

I’m sure it’ll be fine. The Thargoids are the only ones who’ll give her another name to add to the list so there’s only one of four that is her own, rather than one out of three.

The "Mother of Thargons"....

 

[Vardaugas]

I must say, if the Far god Cultists managed to hot-drop a megaship on a gank squad, more power to them.

I still want to know where the guns that they shot the first one down with are, if they are responsible.

I don’t see any on the Testament, for sure.
