The significant owl hoots twice at midnight. Hooray, hooray for the spinster's sisters daughter. To the axeman all supplicants are the same height. The mighty behemoth fair splits the sounding deep.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Why are you speaking in such a funny way? I don't understand what you are trying to say...

Oh! Maybe it's a prayer! Or a shamanistic rite! I've read about those before! Please, don't let me deter you.

I'm leaning towards the thought that he is in fact giving directions actually.

I'm not sure about the cryptic message Pilot Seneun has left here.

I find it interesting that his corporation description indicates ties to the Federal Intelligence Office.

The blurred line between nonsensical babble and deliberate counterintelligence information passing fieldcraft is intentional.
That said, this is the IGS so the former is probably more likely.

...Though Pieter did reply in kind.

Edit: It is not just gibberish

True prophets, such as myself, follow each piece of rediscovered Scripture with a clear statement of the Scripture's meaning, a revelation direct from God.

False prophets speak in riddles, because they have no experience with God and lack any real understanding.

Amongst 'true and false prophets' you have proven yourself thankfully to be neither.
You fall more along the lines of lunatic and murderer.

Of course he does.

Oh, riddles? I like riddles. It seems to be more of a hidden statement than just nonsense, though I'm very likely incorrect.

Quote:
Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.


This particular line doesn't seem to be anything of significance, since it's a common example of a pangram, or a statement that utilizes every symbol of a language's printed bits. With the help of pilot Evelyn Meiyi (and a tad bit of assistance from officer Kim), I was able to discern a bit more from this cryptic but not unintelligible nonsense.

To quote the lovely pilot Meiyi, "the 'younger of the double-faced countenance of command' appears to reference Ishuk-Raata, or at least the newer part of the partnership." Officer Diana Kim informed me as well that the "Wind of the West" is a spirit of trade among the Caldari people. This, combined with the reference to the "exclave of false democracy," brings to mind a particular memory of a long-fought battle of metal and ideals over a particular planet the Caldari and Gallente seem to want.

"As for the 'patron and not the partisan'," Meiyi continued, "I would imagine that he's referring to the Gallente's rather... free-spirited approach to the arts, contrasted with the Caldai's focus on industry."

Compiled with the 'exility of dignity avaricious,' well. We both came to the conclusion that this, though unusually hidden in its meaning for whatever reason, seems to be an indictment of the Gallente as a people. Really cool how Seneun went to this much trouble for it, though. Leaves both me and Meiyi wondering if it's an intent to actively partake in something hostile against the Federation, as vows usually end up that way.

Also, hello everyone. First post on IGS.

I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.

This part bothers me as well, since I don't really see the purpose of including a simple linguistic novelty if one is going to transmit some kind of surreptitious message. Then I thought about the nature of the thing, and something struck me. Why lay out a full set of symbols if not as an indicator of an associated set of potential operations. A cipher.

What's more confusing is that the message following the pangram isn't a true cipher, so I'm left wondering if it's only one key in some kind of asymmetric analogue cryptosystem. If that's true then we're likely missing another key, which I would assume the intended recipient possesses.

The whole thing is a bit of a head-scratcher.

That would mean that the OP did his job correctly and everyone not ment to know the message is left ignorant of it's meaning.

So, kudos to you for that OP.

He claimed to serve the "Red God".

Even if he had not verbally claimed association, his actions have done so for him.

Perhaps I am expecting too much of your cognitive abilities to be able to see past the need of spelling it out?

Because that is very possible, heretic.
