Unusual Emissions Discovered - Polaris Alleged Point of Origin

Gave my brain a rest and had a drink.

Now....

I think we can all agree that the first three letters of the message are 'CCP'. Given the transponder codes from the fleet a few weeks back, and that they came from Polaris, that's pretty much clear.

As for 'Sup' -- Support? Supply? Don't know right now.

'avan' -- unless they've got a new hull design, I'm going to assume for a moment that this is 'caravan'.

So, we have CCP organizing some kind of 'support/supply' mission for a 'caravan'....

Opinions?

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....

Yeah... kind of went down that road myself. 'Supply' would go with 'caravan'. Looks like somebody's looking to get hit, maybe. Or -- makes more sense -- somebody thought to let it be known.

Off to get some good rest myself...

The spurious E bothered me.

CCP SUPPLY EHA VAN. Maybe.

With the final period being an actual period, and Eha - Van being a nice route mostly through Syndicate, depending on what choices you make. Of course, the way most systems have been named, any bloody combination of letters could be interpreted as waypoints.

Even though our love is cruel; even though our stars are crossed.

Boy, what I wouldn't give for a little clarity...

Quote:

unusual high band electromagnetic activity

Of what type exactly? X-rays? Gamma rays? Knowing where on the EM spectrum this is coming from could go a long way to determining whether the source is artificial, or just some star burping up its radioactive guts.

Quote:

Deep space surveillance networks picked up . . . from the general direction of the 9RW5-Z constellation.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds like whatever receivers are listening to this signal are located outside of 9RW5-Z and looking inward, towards Polaris. If this is the case, the signal must have a transmission source several lightyears distant from the "surveillance networks" picking it up. Electromagnetic waves, the stubborn bastards, can't really be bothered to move faster than light, so even if we are dealing with an artificial signal, it must have been broadcast years ago. Unless "the upcoming weekend" is in YC100, I highly doubt
Quote:

These emissions might indicate increased activity in the mysterious system during the upcoming weekend,

is a valid assumption.

Then again, I'm not a scientist, so feel free to swallow an appropriate quantity of salt when considering the above...

You gotta remember tho, your comment

Is kind of invalid, Yes with equipment that we can produce in our day of age, Yes that is true. We do not know what kind of technology or how powerful it is in eve, They may have equipment powerful enough to catch transmissions from a larger distant's then we know of. Again with the technology if this was broadcast, By a machine we again do not know how powerful it is, They may have figured a way to boost the speed of a broadcasted transmission.

Not saying you're wrong, Just saying you might be a little invalid.

If "they" have found a way to "boost the transmission speed", then they've pretty well broken the laws of physics as we know them to do so. Besides, even if it is possible to transmit conventional waves faster than light without breaking causality and enraging anyone who's ever studied relativity, why bother? When you broadcast an electromagnetic wave anyone with a receiver can listen in. Why not just transmit on the fluid router network? It's far more secure, and transmission is, for all intents and purposes, instantaneous. Better still, the physics police don't have to come kick your door down.

Scientists my mercenary behind. Have you all forgotten about the device that give us FTL comms, the Fluid Router?

Edit: Looking more closely at the previous post, apparently you haven't all forgotten. I will be paying very close attention to these broadcasts as I seem to have a lot of time on my hands.

This would be it, I think.

Well, okay, I'm not so sure about the 'clever' part.

That's what I've been thinking:

00 cc.sup.lye.avan

01 cc.pus.eyl.nava

02 ccp.use.yln.ava

I'm not sure what yln.ava is or what do ccp use. But i think it's some heavy drugs or such shite.

Are you talking about a capsuleer alliance living in Jove space, Polaris is a system that is part of Jove. Yea right ?

We are talking about the same kind of people that have figured out space travel and flying thru a planet, If it's a message meant for someone or met for people doesn't matter. You just gotta remember We are in a universe with much much more advanced technology's then we know.

Also on earth, They are questioning the laws of physics, They have found something faster then the speed of light, Keep that in mind.

Polaris is the North Pole star.. and they've discovered the hide out of Father Christmas and he is leaving soon :)

I hate it when people post news articles in forums and don't even add their own thoughts or opinions to the OP. If all you're going to do is regurgitate the news, and that's it, that's as pointless as posts get. I can read the damn news myself, I don't need a nursemaid to say "looky here".

EM radiation happens all the time, anyway. Probably some Jovian kids built a microwave radiator at school and pointed it at a wormhole for kicks. Wait till the principal finds out.

Earth? Another person that believes in Old Terra legend? Where are they all coming from?

The way we've picked up a broadcast that's not on the FR pathway makes me think that if it's not just more EM noise, it must be something that the senders never intended to broadcast outside of the system.

It appears the message was that of the CCP Alliance was moblizing a Fleet to convoy supplies to a meeting place for what they are calling a "Christmas Party" for the corporation CCP.

Last word I heard via CCP Fleet Mobilizing? stated that they were moving through the Great Wildlands.

Reports indicate that they were asking for help from the Capsuller's for protection, but when Pilots showed up they were shot at by this Convoy. This Fleet also happened to be staged with-in an system under attack from an Incursion, preventing any Captial ships from moving in. Also it appears the Alliances that make the Great Wildlands their homes were locking down and camping any Gates leading into the area.

I feel that this smells like the CCP Alliance is working with Sansha to try to purge the area of Capsuller pilots and any ships they might have staged in the region.
