Ok just ejected a small and two large data caches and scanned them to no effect, think we have to take them back and black market em.

I was after someone reliable, but you will have to do
Will be nice to have this one put to bed
When the Rolls rolls up who'd assume it's owned by the chauffeur?
According to the C.o.R. story, which in fact is a foundation myth like the nativity, she has been chosen/hired/anointed to function as symbol/focus/leader/spokesmodel as a spoke of that unseen power the Dark Wheel. Or so she/we have been lead to believe. While all eyes are on her like a magician she's the distraction while the lovely assistants do all the magic and work.
Children of Raxxla is the epilogue to the epilogue in Reclaimation and is to be considered canon too.
On the other hand maybe it really is her ship. Quite often one's servants and staff begin to think and act that one's gracious generosity of allowing such close proximity entitles them to make use of one as if they were one's self. It inevitably ends with their execution, so sad having become so fond of them.
The recently ennobled often have this problem of being uncomfortable with staff and feel the need to befriend them, yet it is this very act that creates the problem. Plebs.
I don't think this is the case with Hassan, it's a genuine friendship, for now.
. Very nice! I had forgotten about that post
Illuminati versus Jihadists?
Give them all the finger!
Jaques Station!
Not aligned to any faction or power. 100% not interested in galactic domination. At the very worst would count as being in the independent ranks, but so independent he's independent from the independents. He's the only minor faction at his station, guarantee's 100% political stability. When the going gets tough he gets going, somewhere else. It's a liferaft of humanity in a chaotic violent galaxy.
Run by a cyborg who couldn't possibly be in league with rogue AI's?????
No can't be it's a happy place.
Lol indeed, and to the point so far data has been sold to nearly every major player thus far, and nothing has become of it.
Can anyone tell me if the "Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light" line has been explored with any muster as yet?
Keep thinking about the wolfs and bright B's and O's dotted around the bottom and top of the rift. Some even have both black hole and wolf. (Few for quick reference below) Most of them prolly couldnt be reached without at least a 25% boost tho I guess Theres one 2.6k away from me on the other side that has a bright wolf and a blackhole, but I lost the bit of paper with it on and now cant find it on the map, grr.

Been visiting a few of those, WR, BH, O*, nothing unusual.
Ah thankyou! Ive been looking for the complete thing for the last 2 hours
Have you tried anything funky, like flying away from the star a few thousand ticks or looking at the sun though a BH?
Prolly too covered with tinfoil things like that tho Im starting to think, I found nowt so far doing it

These seem to be a few months before I started playing... but when was the first UA discovered again? I'm wondering if the article was relating to these.
It's possible that's a clue. If so it means that nearly 3 years ago Drew intended to use that line at some point so FDEV could carefully place whatever IT is in the right spot.
Pretending it is a clue for a moment it could, in conjunction with 'Watch your Six' mean something along the lines of:
- Look back at the Soul nebula
- Arrange it so it's just setting below the plane of the galaxy
- Now turn around and look for a very bright object.
I'm skeptical because it raises the question, Why not release that quote a year ago when this first started, why now.
Personally I think it's more allegorical in nature, basically along the lines of the poem's original intent which was more or less:
Searching for the sake of searching is an award in itself.
Searching and finding can raise one to the heavens and ensure your place in history.
Originally the poem was about a teacher explaining to his pupil why bother with science (astronomy in this case).

Thats something Ive been wondering for a while now, and Im sure plenty of others have too.
Is this just the classic holy grail, no actual grail, its all about the journey and discovery of self etc
Drew (and FD at some level) have been quite clear there is an "IT" to find. Whether we'll be happy we found it (alient civilization) or not (oh look it's a data cache worth $1M credits) is a different story. I'm optimistic it will trigger a substantial latent story arc but who knows.
Maybe they wont tell us anything.
Hows this, simply collate what gets turned in where and with whom. Maybe there's secret easter egg systems involved, maybe its raw numbers, maybe areas or regions maybe some other criteria but tell no one anything. Just a quiet background decision that *this* is the name or faction that'll be carrying this bit of plot line forward, first visible in an unremarkable galnet post and let the ball roll from there. "The Ducks of Dingdum" have announced cancellation of their Summer Solstice Festival due to rain."
Jaques is no doubt ing in the wind but appeals as a Rage Against the Machine thing.
I hope none of it has anything to do with or is dependent on who gets raised to a power.
Whilst I am Rifting, it was just a general question, and not related to the FR mystery hunt per se, but mea culpa- thought I'd posted the question on the UA thread. It was one of those afternoons!

Ahh, apologies. I switch back and forth between the two myself and get confused. No worries and it was still a pretty interesting idea.
Ok Rifters - I am thinking there are several "threads" of clues going on... I am seeing possible secret science stations near Lave, a lost generation ship outside of Tianve... To be honest, I think most of the "eggs" are in the populated worlds but... Looking at the FFE Journals (specifically the KIDNAP 1-4) and really Just to make Dom happy - you might try looking for a Space Whale between the Bubble Nebula and the Heart Nebulae ... something to do with french
Drew said whether its found depends on who goes looking. Having heard the relevant excerpt from the audiobook, there seemed to be an emphasis on Elite rank. Maybe whatever it is will only reveal itself to someone who has achieved Elite rank... Just a thought...
Hopefully it doesnt require triple Elite...
