[General Battuta]

... can we get back on track?

I have a serious question from something that was raised by a different point by Aesaar.

Namely, if it was, or not, possible to communicate with Earth by making a very big dish in Alpha Centauri pointed towards its system, after the Lucifer's battle?

If it is, how much of BP canon is threatened by this very idea?

And if it is, perhaps we should immediately abandon this thought, flag it with a "dangerous" sign, and ignore it henceforth? Whistle looking at the sky and something?

Not at all threatened. BP canon already talks about transmissions between Alpha Centauri and Earth. They even figure into the plot!

Doesn't the front half of the lucifer blow the **** up in that last cutscene? I could have sworn it actually explodes instead of just drifting there.

EDIT: And yeah, communication with Alpha Centauri is totally mentioned in the tech room or somewhere. I think all it says is that the details are classified, but it's still acknowledged.

Oh! Ok. That's pretty awesome. I'm not being antagonistical or anything, but I did read this in a well written piece of fiction:

The widespread assumption was that Earth’s lost brethren had achieved a degree of peace and enlightenment similar to that which pervaded Sol (barring certain elements of the Kuiper periphery and the military). The coexistence of Terran and Vasudan technological elements in the probes scanned by the Fedayeen was cited as evidence for this view.

This quote, some other fiction, and your assurance combined tells me that all these communications were either too superficial or lies. But color me curious. Where can I find that part you mention?

Then maybe you should replay STR right now instead of arguing based on faulty memories.

EDIT: if you really want a quote, lrn2wiki.

All that proves is that the GTI headquarters was in Beta Aquilae several months after the collapse of the Sol jump node. If the GTI headquarters were in Sol before the collapse, the elements of the GTI outside Sol afterwards would logically establish a new headquarters.

I don't want to create a whole new thread for this topic (sorry for bumping this one).

Now that Act 3 of WIH has been released, it seems like things may wrap up soon with all the new forces coming in.  Chronologically speaking, how long do you think Acts 4+5 will cover?

I'm guessing about a fortnight, or a month tops.

I don't have the exact date in front of me, but it was estimated in Tenebra that the attack on Earth would begin in a week correct?

Well, who's to say that the attack on Earth is the end of WiH...Also, BP has the habit of surprising us with unexpected happenings and events.
