Just an adress, basically.
So what we're looking at here appears to be something calculating "Crash Transit Readiness", and it's pointing out that something is throwing off its calculcations.
The reason for this is that the crew of GTFr Paride, delivering cargo "Parchment Pave" from Point Megido, Beta Aquilea to the GTL Solace (https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Blue_Planet_Orders_of_Battle#Cruisers_and_Support_2), has been working overtime at the request of Loadmaster Chana Liang and has been unwrapping their cargo a bit early in order to get it delivered faster.
The machine speculates that Chana Liang might want to rush things along becuase of "cradle ideation", specifically the concepts of Hiraeth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiraeth), Wanderlust, and Prodigal (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15&version=RSVCE). In short: Chana Liang wants to go home (to earth!) after a long seperation - the central theme of BP.
The machine concludes that this has no further effects on its wider calculations, and thus continues as normal.
So my speculation is that this is a message sent before the start of Age of Aquarius. The "Crash Transit Readiness" refers to whether or not the 14th Battlegroup is ready to go on its mission (should play BP again and look into that whole "Crash Jump" thing), and the Paride is supplying the Solace faster then scheduled.
Of note is the cargo, PARCHMENT PAVE. I have no idea what that means, but Blue Planet has been a while ago for me. I don't know the current status of the GTL Solace or in whose hands it is if it hasn't been shot down, but I suspect that PARCHMENT PAVE and as such the GTL Solace is quite important for coming events.
-
What is the "Worm Farm"? I don't remember it in anyway from BP.
I'm not sure, but I think PARCHMENT PAVE wasn't mentioned before?
-
To the best of my knowledge, there has been no mention of 'PARCHMENT PAVE' or 'Worm Farm'.
However, my first impressions of the post are a bit different from Joshua.
'Crash Transit' I thought may be related to the idea of interdicting a GTVA subspace jump - a la the Lucifer, an operation that would require atomic precision and prediction, hence this 'character' and the timed/updated prediction cycle.
I do agree with 'cradle ideation', however I would think this would refer to the desire to return home to whatever system they are from within the GTVA, maybe not so much earth.
Either way, exciting stuff! :nod:
-
Interesting stuff. I noticed that there's doubled spacing in the message a few times... in a tease like this, that seems likely to be deliberate, though I don't quite see a pattern or significance yet.
He's the passage with exclamation marks stuck in the double spaces to make them easier to see.

(Also, this is no secret to those on discord enough but not everyone here is, so. You should be aware this is a tease of a fan offshoot rather than something from the core team. That doesn't to me diminish the coolness any, but I thought people should know lest they get their heart set on a new part of WiH and then not be able to appreciate what they do get.)
-
Anyone else notice the crash transit readiness was increasing slowly but steadily with each measurement?
Until the last one.
Hmm. I'd just been assuming the measurement was a percentage because no units are given. Maybe it isn't.
-
Admittedly I think that the double spacing might be the result of this being written by more then one person, and that they have slightly different standards of writing.

Parchment Pave could be related to the HOL schematics? Maybe Liang is a hammer sleeper/sympathiser?

Inèz, you know when to pick your moment.
it’s been months. Polaris, Procyon, Eps’ Peg’, Wolf, they’re not on the news - they are the news.
When the collapse isn't taking headspace, it’s some itinerant kid trying to maze a gate flare. The last one got six years inculcation. Predictably, our insurance is a flaring mess.
You know how it goes. The TC’s too busy dumping fire retardant on jumpy smallholders to get experimental. If I’m going to be begrudgingly useful, I need to see dividends.

The report's attached. Skip the preface, it's got a nostalgic stink like last settlement day's tilapia.
I know, I’m lazy and we kept you out of the pipe. I’d say I was exercising data hygiene, but I doubt an alibi would hold pressure for very long, would it? You’re too conniving for me.
Before we get down to bolts, I’d like to clear the air. No - there’s nothing suspect in stirring through n-radiance in your own time. Ignore Routecom's textualist wonkery; no matter how they twist the Eruti act, passives are passives. It's nigh unenforceable!
Nobody in their right mind is going to shake you down for harmonizing an idle inferometer to a free jump band. It's manufactured happenstance at best! Remember, you’re not sniffing for anything piezoscalar – no antemissives, only their shadows. If it trips anything sensitive in n-space I’ll eat my alma mater.

Any chance of something more concrete? This is all very interesting but pretty much every semi-decipherable message is writing another check for a loose thread that may or may not ever get tied off.
-
I suspect you'll get something more concrete when the campaign gets released.
-
Meant to post something here for a couple days, but haven’t really been able wrap my thoughts around what’s been posted so far.
I think I’m getting that someone is looking at some kind of N-radiance at the Delta Serpentis - Beta Aquilae node. Sounds like it is being done covertly and using largely passive sensors. No clue what the heck the ordinance involving “epochs” is all about though.
Also looked back at the first message, and I’m wondering if whoever is doing that readiness calculation was looking for signs of T2 / Vishnian interference. It seems like they suspect the cargo handler is working extra shifts because of possible intrusive ideation.
Lastly, what project is this tied to? Mote in the Sunbeam? Or could this be something to do with a follow up to Friends and Foes? Or something I’m not even aware of? Dare i even hope BP2 act 4???
-
I'd wager it's related to MitS - Friends and Foes seems to be unmaintained for quite a while and it didn't attempt this level of writing.

There’s a lot to unpack here, but I’m getting the idea that these are partial logs from someone who was monitoring the Sathanas fleet when it caused Capella to go supernova. The references to bears a la “Bearbaiting” is one reason for this assumption. I could be wrong about this being the Sathanas fleet because of:
NIMROD pinged nemesis, pre-hop spool, tracking multiple emendations. Magnetometers show her shadow. She’s close enough to reach out, my Gods. Trashed N-3813 with converging contact.
That passage seems pretty emphatic that “nemesis” is singular. But regardless of whether it is one or many, they appear to be witnessing Shivan subspace manipulation in Capella.
Maybe part of what they observe here serves to motivate contingency Morpheus?

N-3813, a flight transponder code seems likely, or a star?
Anyhoooo my skillset isn't magic numbers, but I can't see anything here https://metanumbers.com/3813

I could be dead wrong on my time period. Same passage I previously quoted. “NIMROD.” Nimrod is mentioned a couple times in the Old Testament as an ancient king of Shinar, a mighty hunter, and some extra-biblical myths assert he was the primary leader behind the construction of the Tower of Babel. Nimrod is also used in my neck of the woods to refer to an idiot.
Possible that NIMROD is a tongue-in-cheek code word for Bosch? If so, my Sathanas theory would not make a lot of sense.
I’m still bouncing ideas around and mostly hoping to get others interested in prying this thing open lest whoever is working on this think no one’s interested!
-
I just know it as our old patrol plane. Might be that simple? Sounds like a flyby scan poked it metaphorically..
-
I have a feeling that if we consider the nemesis/bear be a metaphor to a Sathanas, this might be a transcript of a observation session using subspace instruments... one that had gotten remotely zapped by something within it. I presume they're at awe of whatever is inside it.
-
“Emendation,” is an odd choice of word. Had to look it up because I think I’ve run into it before but not often enough to know the meaning well. It is mostly used in the sense of making corrections to a document or text. The idea is to make improvements in classification or removal of error.
NIMROD pinged nemesis, pre-hop spool, tracking multiple emendations.
Magnetometers show her shadow. She’s close enough to reach out, my Gods.
And then:
Emendation panic, Bearhowl communing entry. Attempting to blow duct, stand by,
Having trouble reconciling my understood meaning for “emendation”
with how it is being used. “Textual correction panic?” “Reclassification panic?” The choice of word is conspicuous enough I feel like there should be some meaning to it.
But, if I had no idea what the word meant and we’re going purely from context, “Tracking multiple emendations,” sounds like it is talking about tracking something that the enemy is doing. If it is subspace-related (references to N-space make me think it is), possibly it even sounds kind of like tracking connections or subspace gate endpoints as they are being formed or dissolved.
-
Assuming Nimrod is Bosch and the Shivan are nemesis, i think the emendations refer to the Shivans finding out that Bosch can talk to them and rewriting their plans accordingly (like by creating Ken).
