I've gotten a lot of questions as to what is actually in the crate. Well, let me tell you...
...Wait...
Nope. I won't tell you. I've only told one other person on the team, and if he spills the digital beans... I'll hunt him down with Phidias drones. Anyway, I'd like to know what you all are thinking...

For the lack of Something Shivany, I went for othery.

I'm with Rodo. Likely they are something to do with BEAMZ.
Hopefully no pirate superdestroyers included

Dangit Spoon! Now I'll have to rewrite the storyline.... :doubt:

You guys are obviously wrong. The reason you get EMPed when you try to scan the crate is because it's full of ST:TMP Klingons, and they're really, really angry that they've been locked in a crate. They've seen their empire become a idiot state full of guys going HONAH AND GLOREH and charging machine gun lines and getting mowed down, and they've seen the Empire become less and less competent.
What's worse? They've been trapped in that crate for centuries, perhaps more. So they lash out at you, trying to kill you. But they can't. All they can do is EMP you. So take pity on them. And take pity on yourself, for god help you when they get out of that crate.

Um... isn't it ETAK? :blah:
Privateer attack at GUL-INST-04 2140 TST. Pvt-Sec response eradicated, fleet response evaded. MILINT asserts privateer seizure of Sennacherib, Bel-ibni, Etemenanki articles.
Or, well, if not ETAK, then the still-primitive research materials that were developed during Silent Threat (Reborn) that would eventually develop into ETAK. The thing about PVN ownership was a bit weird, but I assumed that would be explained later - I didn't think it was supposed to be a secret?
-
Where did you get PVN ownership from? You were stealing "vasudan artifacts" from a Terran research outpost.
You're the first to guess ETAK though. (At least publicly.)

The rest of that briefing stage - my bad though, it was PVI (though same deal, really).
Privateer attack at GUL-INST-04 2140 TST. Pvt-Sec response eradicated, fleet response evaded. MILINT asserts privateer seizure of Sennacherib, Bel-ibni, Etemenanki articles. ARCH reports items seized 2333, Vega Eng., items legally PVI property. MILINT asserts hostile possession imminent.
OVRWTCH demanding immediate cross border deployment. All personnel expendable - TRTY2335 restrictions suspended.
-
Ah, right. Well I'll go ahead and tell you now that legal ownership isn't all that important. Could be that they were meant to be shipped to the PVI soon, or that the PVI sent them there in cooperation with Terran research. Could really be any combination of the above... What's more important is that you stole them from where they were supposed to be... THIEF!
-
Oh, and given that one of the Cargo containers in Mission 1 happened t contain "Vasudan Artifacts" - I'm guessing that that was a not-so-subtle hint that the stuff on the station wasn't said Artifacts?
-
I think you are over-analyzing a bit. :p
There could be any number of artifacts undergoing research there.
-
When they said artefacts, i had in my head that it was stuff for the eventually-to-be-NTF (your employer being a younger Aken Bosch), perhaps equipment for the Knossos activation (did think ETAK too when i saw it written). Wrong i imagine with hindsight, but that was my guess (don't mind anyhow; i like suprises :D).
Shall wait and see with glee. :)
EDIT: Liked the klingons idea though :lol:

After the checkpoint in the second mission, the gameplay and the container's behavior reminded me strongly of Sync... :nervous:
