Anybody have any better ideas?
Maybe have a look at Charon in Sol, or Styx? But, yeah, I wouldn't hold out too much hope.

You've got to use 'duralium foil' not just 'duralium' or you only get one coordinate, not two. We can assume the third point shares the common plane as Reorte and Reidquat.
Drew also said 'lore-wise' which could be interpreted as 'counter-clockwise' which means a reverse application of ROT13. Convert the letters to their ASCII numerical values and, there you have it.
... Yeah. I got nothing.
Hi folks,
A bit off topic(ish), but the galactic mapping project is now at a stage where we're considering sub-dividing the known parent regions into small sub regions. A bit like how American states are sub-divided into counties.
We think it would help add distinct character to the maps if the sub-regions had a certain 'theme' to them. For example, in the case of the Formidine Rift region, Drew has sent in 4 sub-regional names and has gone for Latin variations for 'fear'... for something like the Silentium Region, we could add sub-regions with Latin names for 'silence'. and so on....
Here's an example of the Formidine Rift with Drew's suggested sub-regional names added.

If any Rifters out to the far southeast (around Vig's Beacon) could supply a route toward the southern tip of Heisnebergs Crossing, and 'northeast' from there - across to the Perseus arm, this will help define the southeast borders of the Rift. The opposite border will probably be defined as the where the Formidine Bridge crosses the Rift.
[snip] there are those of us (or possibly only me), who think that the trigger for discovery lies back in the Bubble ('...depends on who goes looking'). [snip]
There appears to be a mythological thread running through the clues[snip]
Anybody have any better ideas?

Yeah, I tried to make the Alice connection too, but couldn't tie it to anything else in the Rift theory dataset.2. Reflection on Kahina/Salome's travels in Sol: "I musn't be late" was repeated in subsequent Galnet articles - It bothered me - I started down the Alice in Wonderland track
(a) I'm thinking probably just a literary nod to "going to wonderland" == "going to rift and finding 'it'" (and/or the mad-hatter's tea party) - quite possible since: who would be queen of hearts, who's the rabbit/hare -
3. This led to other spins on Alice in Wonderland, which somehow brought me to an adaptation where "Looking Glass" (space) Station was central to neue-Alice's story
Action - There are a number of 'Glass' stations/outposts I plan to visit over coming day(s)
Elysia being, of course, another part of the Underworld...5. The Typhon story reads very similar to 'Christian' God vs the Devil (the Dragon) ... "and down the great dragon was hurled, yada yada" - In Revelation, Michael the archangel casts the dragon into the Abyss (for us: The Rift??). The Greek Zeus vs Typhon version has Zeus defeating Typhon and burying him (depending on the version) under Etna, Vesuvius, Tartarus (again! - this place also mentioned in the bible) or in some ...
across the Issus (Issus == The Rift?) Arima / Arimoi
Action - Cronus (in Elysia system) to visit, two systems with Arima in their name to visit.
Where did he say that, if I might ask? That would be new to me!
Yeah, I tried to make the Alice connection too, but couldn't tie it to anything else in the Rift theory dataset.
I also looked along the lines of 'late' meaning 'deceased', but I couldn't make that stick either.

My concern in all of this is that there is something what we need to do, in order to make the Rift 'IT' discoverable - and I've got absolutely NO idea what that could be.
It took a couple days for me but just when I started to think I was going truly mad I found it...
Unsurprisingly, none of this appears to have achieved anything.
Anybody have any better ideas?
da net said:angular distance, esp in degrees, of a star, planet, etc, from the celestial equator measured north (positive) or south (negative) along the great circle passing through the celestial poles and the body. Symbol: δ Compare: right ascension
I think you may have missed some context there. The "L" isn't meant to imply that the L is capitalized (and therefore significant) it's meant to show which letter the person Drew was referring to had gotten wrong. Here's the original message with quoting retained: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=212616&p=3276366&viewfull=1#post3276366
Holdstock (and earlier under the pseudonym Eisler) always spelled it "Raxxla" with a lower case 'l'.

Take some to Julian Market, orbiting Boeotia in Aganippe.
I found a link of sorts there when looked at the anagram (Cadmean) of the Prism worlds.

This is correct. I didn't imply Raxxla had an uppercase L.
Cheers,

So Boeotia has a link to Persephone and the station orbiting it is a source of rare commodities?![]()
That was referring to Raxxla.Interesting that Drew said, "Don't expect to solve this one any time soon, I suspect it's going to be bigger than the Thargoids."
Or possibly to the Greek god and personification of divine retribution...Also, Momus Reach - Tartus Point orbits... Nemesis (DUN DUN DUN!) which may also be a reference to an Isaac Asimov novel I read years ago that had a familiar looking space station on some covers.
