Exploring wreck in Pleiades
According to the leading experts on alien technology and unknown artifacts, the Cannon Research Group, this newly discovered crashed craft is in some way related to the mystery surrounding the Unknown Artifacts and Unknown Probes.
Since this is believed to be of alien origin, both the downed craft and the unknown probes/artifacts, we as Vikings felt obliged to check out what we can around this.
We have found the downed craft, and visited the crash site. We have pictures and video.
I am in the work of making an article of what we have seen so far, with additional info from the Cannon Research Group.
Since we have a couple of Vikings out in the Pleiades Sector, it might be prudent to make a detour to Merope as well, to see the Barnacle Sites there, and the Unknown artifacts.
Last we heard from the known Barnacle sites is that they were guarded by a Faragut Class Federal ship. But, Vikings are never deterred from a mission by odds of success, so we will be sending at least one representative in any case.
Although this crashed ship is quite phenomenal as a discovery, it is one of the most passive discoveries the player groups has made over the last months. All the other discoveries has had some sort of interactive element.
The barnacles had Meta-Alloys, the Unknown Artifacts and Probes had so much going on with them. Like the way they pointed to Merope system, or the fact that they shut down ships systems when scanned. And the fact that they transmit data of the ships doing the scanning and the hidden spectrogram image in the audio of the scanning.
Considering out-of-game intel from FDEV and writers, we will probably see some change in the behaviour or significance of the downed ship after the release of the 2.2 patch.
But that is besides the point. If some of the Vikings like storytelling, evolving stories and mysteries, I strongly suggest you give me a call, so that we can collaborate in finding the evidence for ourselves as well.
We can always let the Cannon Research Group find all the clues and do the work with deciphering the mystery, but that is not my preferred way.
In stead, let’s help the community by doing some research ourselves.
So, in near future, I will begin a mission. A mission to obtain facts about the Unknown Probes, Artifacts and downed ships.
Also, I am considering an expedition to the Formidine Rift. But at any rate, I feel we should be present in, or around, the Pleiades Sector around the release date for Patch 2.2.
