We can't just fly around and shoot at everything it moves every time
If it's not a fake, I need to try to speak with this thing.
Is that what NO stands for?
Just visited it myself as I was nearby. It is smaller than the other interceptors, or appeared smaller. It did indeed take off immediately on dropping in on the lab ruins.
Not in my exploration configuration so I have no wake scanner with me. No buggy either to look around at the ruins.
I guess these aren't ruins. Still fully function for landing.
Computer did announce a anomaly detected.

Dunno, totally guessing.
Went back and it was scouts this time.
Don't worry about me. I have no guns today. Just looking to see if something is different about this one.
He's fast. Seems to always go straight up as soon as you drop in and pops into the anomoly. I have no wake scanner to check if that's different somehow. Tried several attempts to scan it with the xeno scanner.
Waited around a while and then more anomolies appeard. These were scouts. Didn't exit and re-enter instance.

A bit of side research on the name:
Orthrus
In Greek mythology, Orthrus or Orthus was, according to the mythographer Apollodorus, a two-headed dog who guarded Geryon's cattle and was killed by Heracles. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and the brother of Cerberus, who was also a multi-headed guard dog.
Preparing a short video on it in case its helpful.

Tinfoil hat time. Bill Turner was flying that Thargoid ship with the cockpit retrofitted for a human pilot.
A real hoax?
Why is the Thread Title about Carriers?

Could NO be the two missing letters from raXXlaa?
I have no idea what I’m talking about.

Malic VR has been streaming the new variant on twitch for a while now - he's caught a few
One thing I feel is obvious from the screenshot and I'm surprised no one has specifically pointed it out... There's no ambiguity about the letters N and O. They are superimposed over the standard scan image in a clearly 100% human font. It's nice to think about this in lore terms of course, but I can't help looking at the variables as a video game, and this has deliberately been put there for some reason. For once I don't think killing them is probably the right thing to do, but naturally I'm not sure, or sure why.
Considering that it is FDev we are talking about - it's probably a bug and somebody just forgot to remove a placeholder.
The Çockpit looks like it could be from a Falcoun De lacey Ship too
That thought also occurred to me. Especially since the image says NO.
