"The Stones"

аhahahahah XD : D: D: D We broke the game, the developers didn't think that the players would show such interest. The huge interest broke the event! ahahahah
 
Oh. I went there, there were some strange noises I don't remember hearing ever before (first kind of a cracking sound, then some deep booming bass things) but no Thargoid :/
 
No clue at all but it, but I'll head ou to Spica, seems like a destination if you extrapolate coalsack->hip69200

Also, the path of adamastor before detection on chukchan looks kinda wrong, one of the stops is way off while there was a system directly in line. Did anyone check those and surroundings?
 
That's the obvious meaning; my thought was that it meant more than the obvious.

But apart from the other problems with the idea I realized on my way out of bed today that we were almost certainly meant to solve the listening post first, so putting a clue to it in the settlement logs would have been pointless.
I'm not sure it's the case that we were meant to solve the LP first. If we ignore the stuff from out of game, then from Chukchan we've got:
  1. Galnet + Adamastor log = HIP 69200 = Sidewinder logs = Coalsack = Finding site.

  2. Local Galnet = Adamastor log = LP system = ? (presumably Coalsack and/or details of specific system/planet/co-ords)
A is probably the most obvious of the two, and certainly on this thread A was done before B. If the out of game stuff hadn't been there. we'd have found the site in the Coalsack that way.

Edit - nevertheless, agreed that we probably shouldn't need stuff from the site to decrypt the LP. Also I did wonder whether 'top of the line' might be a bit of a cryptic clue as to how to tackle the LP, but the version that was reported from another language didn't include the 'of the line' bit, so I discarded that idea. Might still be something related to 'Top', but it's probably stretching things a bit.

You've got a point there: the Sidewinder logs do point back to the Coal Sack, and maybe that was the likely way we'd find it.

RE "top of the line", I don't think we've heard how that reads in French and German. But yes, it always was a stretch. Things got so quiet last night (except in Russia, which I guess never sleeps :) ) that I was looking pretty hard for a breadcrumb.

hey i'm on vacation. I can afford to sleep or not sleep whenever I want =)
 
We know the Adamastor had a 30 ly jump range

Sorry I must have missed it, how do we know the ship has a 30 LY range?

A couple of crazy thoughts.

1. If we assume that the binary messages were travelling at the speed of light and received in CHUKCHAN in Oct 3306, do any of the current know systems match up as a possible point of origin for their transmission if they were transmitted in 3111? I guess that would be a system 195 LY from CHUKCHAN.

2. Could we somehow overlay the encrypted code from the listening post with the binary transmissions we received? Perhaps the different layers of the binary code play a role in highlighting different areas of the encrypted code..

On Brazilian Portuguese it's "a melhor que existe" or "The best that exists"

If that helps with anything. Though I've seen multiple instances of pt-br translation straight out of Google or similar, or not done at all, so, might help nothing.
 
So I think there are 3 known clues that I feel we havent fully resolved/explained:
  • The obvious one is the Listening Post data
  • The 2nd is the picture that was revealed to us in the begining of a high metal planet (glowing spots) close enough to a blueish star to see a corona(?) effect. The planets in the only system so far with a blueish star HIP 69200 are too distant to give such an effect and none are metallic worlds with glowing areas.

  • The highlighted binary in the 9 panels that were slowly revealed. That has not been explained.

Wait a second.
I just replace Adamastor as 123456789 and get this
Code:
OBFGTYMPLUST-RTYO0S.MA:GNSA-TMPHGJI EST-:FASA-DA-ATM.R
ERAM.S-DERO+WEST U.A -RTGA0 RTHO-M ST.WRMASM-DA +GAAM.D
RTAA.M GDW THEMD.ALY TSM.DY-MATGM.BTJ-Y. SORTMAT.ADAMA-
ST.YADS DMA MATY-ADAM

ok now this looks a bit promising. What if the dashes, dots and plus signs are just missing letters or are simply out of place? Like toward the end of that one line: FASA-DA-ATM.R looks like a jumble of “Adamastor.”
 
Commanders, just another thought:

there are also darker binaries as well...

I like this. but we have numbers from 0 to 9, so, should we search for a 10 letters word?

Ohh, thank you.
I'll use that to mask the LP code, that might yield something
