Hi Chaps, would like to add you in game, currently out in the rift ! What's your commander names, or add us Cmdr, DELMONTE

We should do a roll-call somewhere. I'd love to see where everyone is at when I look at the galaxy map. Maybe list our CMDR names on one page of Dommarraa's spreadsheet?

Currently on the last legs of a sprint back to the Bubble - I had some ideas on leads that way, but also this week's new CG looks like it could be related.

Scavenger hunt for Mr Jeffress, first clue: "The king's resting place is where I'm hid. Entrusted to a queen with a spring in her steps."

That would be handy. Im still in the rift, haven't had much playtime so progress has been pretty slow.

queen with spring in her steps means a confident happy queen must be Cassiopeia

maybe her chair

Edit the Kings resting is were he place his head in the lap of the Queen

Still currently in the bubble, ship is re-configured and ready to go, however, since the recent patch I've had 2 BSOD's and have a very strange skip every now and then. I have performed all the checks on my PC and can't find any errors. I am debating on whether to risk heading out there or hang around the bubble and see if the BSOD's continue...

In the meantime, If I havent added anyone, or missed anyone add me in game Arjinfury.

That one has been solved already, though. See here. It's probably not related to the Rift, and I'm not sure if you can still find the later clues - but maybe somebody will post them.

It's the same place Kahina did her upgrades, allmost a year ago.

If you are the true Emperor, they may forge you some Excalibur lazors. :)
 
If the entomology of her name ends up being an actual clue, I think I will print off the spreadsheet, eat it, poop it out, frame it, and give it to drew in a grand ceremony.
The name was given to her by a random dude, with no connection or even knowledge of the mystery, before the mystery was even mentioned so for it to lead her to her destiny is utterly absurd. She might be imperial, but I don't think she is enough of an egomaniac to think it would be a clue to follow. Even star wars isn't that bad.
I was a little worried when drew said he was a character writer. I have heard that phrase before, and is associated in my mind with authors who's plots make no sense whatsoever, but use it as an excuse. 'if only you were privy to the characters unwritten background, it would all make sense'. I don't think drew is one if them, but i guess we will have to wait and see.

"You may want to review the etymology of the name 'Kahina' too.

Cheers,

Drew. "


We want video!!

O you just mean Salomi.

Luko knows more than he lets on, and pet names are rarely random, usually something meaning full to the owner so it is even more significant not less that he bequeathed what must be deeply personal to him Salomer from his cherished cat to this random woman. Just saying people often care more about their pets than even spouse. I know how that goes down in my household.

Drew warned against assumptions about characters, plural.

You can't deny there are allusions to Salome and the seven veils, her ship being called that more than allusion, and,,,

I don’t suppose the Lady is also a dancer?
She freed and floated on the air her arms
Above dim veils that hid her bosom’s charms…
The veils fell round her like thin coiling mists
Shot through by topaz suns and amethysts.
Perhaps her dance is more of a political one…

Luko makes the same connection in Chapter 10.

You did say "her name" so still expect that video.
Or do you have no honour.
 
Cancelling my trip to the Rift in my clipper. I don't have the jump range nor the fuel to cross it. Going to wait out until Engineers arrive. Doing the next trip with a tender would be greatly easier.

Doesn't matter if it's been solved. I just need the clues and answers. If it's still on the board then I can have fun solving it for fun. But of all the thousands of inhabited systems, that one is the one. It's no coincidence.
 
So I'm doing some sleuthing prior to heading out to the rift. Today I'm in Sol checking out what she may have been up to, and what she may have found "enlightening".

I've found that using CMDR Delmonte's position on the RR line beyond the outer arm, the rift is bang on the 1st star of the constellation Cassiopeia, Epsilon Cassiopeia as viewed from earth.

Using the summary on 1st page:
09/02/3301 Kahina's going to Sol. gets interdicted. doesn't like being late.
06/03/3301 Docking at mars. causes a fuss. doesn't like being late.
09/03/3301 docking at mars causes a fuss doesn't like being late. again!
15/03/3301 has an imperial escort of cutters. says feds are unwelcoming
17/03/3301 tour "outer gas giants in the sol system"
20/03/3301 goes to earth via mars. makes fuss at mars again
27/03/3301 Alioth invites her to visit. she's in cambridge. london. earth. sol
02/04/3301 she has some drinks at london
02/04/3301 departs sol. returns to empire systems. says sol was "most enlightening"
02/05/3301 Avalon shipyards show her upgrading the seven veils' drive, shields, and fsd
06/05/3301 departs avalon (for Achenar?)
12/05/3301 seen 11/5 in Capitol on Achenar
17/05/3301 seven veils confirmed to have upgraded fuel scoop and disco scanner
21/07/3301 missing. not spoken to ppl in a month. left seven veils, stripped it of parts, left behind. avalon improvements fakes (drives, shields, fsd). tiara left behind. and medalian w/ dark wheel symbol and "salome"


I notice a couple of things. The lateness thing - reminds me of the white rabbit from alice in wonderland.


And she visits london and cambridge on the 27th March. A year ago today, so the sky should be the same for me.


I think i'll check out the outer gas giants today then head to Achenar. Just putting this up here in case any of it sparks a thought for someone.

Drew mentioned that Hassan I think it is comes from somewhere about 400 lyrs away in the Wredguia sector Epsilon Cass / Segin / HD 11415 / HIP 8886, 442 lyr from Sol would fit that. Haven't been there so can't see the system map.

Hummm,,

When I center on Sol in the Galmap in realistic mode and only leave Constellations clicked on, zoomed right in, I can't see Cassiopeiae. When I zoom out or back until I can see Caph the constellation lines have all disappeared. Clear evidence of a conspiracy to conceal Cassiopeiae by Sirius and Universal Cartographics!

or,,,

Could try some lines through some of those and see where they go,,,
Say Eta Cass (hudson shipyard + topaz and aymthysts) -16.25, 1.625, -10.5625 and Segin (possible home of Hassan) according to edsm and ross not visited yet, no coordinates approx -31, 14, -270

Or

How about Sol-Segin, or Sol-Eta Cass?

The constellations option in the GalMap never worked for me... :(
