The may 30 Galnet Call for help from AEGIS was deleted.

Why exactly? The CG conflict? Something else?

30 MAY 3304

The Socho system, headquarters of Aegis Core, has been overtaken by a criminal faction. The system is now in a state of anarchy.

A courier carrying a message from Aegis scientist Dr Mia Valencourt managed to escape the system. The message was then broadcast by
the Rewired news service:

“This is an urgent call for assistance. Regional security forces have been overrun, and this vicious gang – they call themselves the Socho Gold Raiders – they’re in charge now. They’ve shut everything down. Apparently they’re convinced we’re building some kind of super-weapon, so that’s probably what brought them here.”

“They were so clever. We picked up what looked like a Thargoid signal and the security forces went charging in. Everyone was terrified that the Thargoids had come to Socho. But it wasn’t the Thargoids – it was a trap. The Raiders were waiting, and they cut those ships to pieces.”

“Please, if anyone’s listening, this is an emergency. It’s absolute chaos here. Please help!”

Professor Alba Tesreau, Aegis’s chief scientific advisor, made an emotional plea:

“It is inconceivable that elements of our own society would behave this way when there’s so much at stake. There is vital research taking place at Aegis Core. If it’s lost, these criminals will have placed all of us at risk!”

“I implore the galactic community to help free Socho from these unthinking vandals. Aegis is defending humanity against the Thargoid threat. We need your help to survive, so that we in turn can protect you and your families.”

On the surface, it looks like some wires got crossed - I don't think the CG was supposed to coincide with the Galnet article.

...that being said, it's a really weird coincidence. I find it hard to believe that the CG person/team at FDev would be so oblivious to what the Galnet team is doing (then again, anything is possible). I do wonder if, even if it was just a mistake, it might be a good idea to turn it into something that "works" (like you've done in your RP thread). :D
 
I've been wondering about this myself, almost feels like the cg will end with a league of reparation message saying thanks for providing us with the materials to build a capital ship.

Or perhaps those fringe cultists...

Yeah it was really too late to just go and delete the article, especially one as interesting as that one. I DO think its as you say and it was just a bad timing and a mistake. What else CAN you do but try and make it all work story wise.

I'll be curious what next week or the next galnet article mentioning this and AEGIS might be about...
