"We only have these six [images of the wormhole systems] so far," a voice said from a speaker in the middle of the table. "But what you are seeing says enough. There is an 18% probable match, just from this one alone." (Anoikis Chronicle)

An 18% probability of this one image matching something that has been described to or recorded by Creodron or the Federation before this meeting. The Sleepers have been encountered in some fashion in the past. Are they Jovian, and the Empires know these are remains of a Jovians sanctuary? The opening of wormholes a lift on the self imposed exile of the Jove? Is this evidence the Jove are all but gone? No longer able to maintain the walls of a prison of their own making? Made to keep us trapped in New Eden, perhaps?

"Imagine if the bars to your prison were all you had ever known. Then one day, someone appears and unlocks the door. If they have the power to do this, then are they really the liberator? You never remembered who it was that closed you in. Ior Labron”

In retrospect, the old man (as he indulged himself in being called) would appreciate the quick-witted minds of his "subordinates" and their own lists of concerns, particularly since this was, in fact, not the first time New Eden had been here. (Anoikis Chronicle)

Again, a direct insinuation that the Sleepers technology has been encountered before and possibly this is not the first time the wormholes have opened. Creodron has existing knowledge of a civilization that does not exist in it's current state of advance in New Eden. Or it is possible that something was found in the drone regions.

Does anyone outside of the Empires' have knowledge of Sleeper Enclaves actually existent in New Eden? I know I had never seen one before wormholes opened. Many of these facts seem to be restricted from general Capsuleer knowledge.

Further into the chron, we find that the board from Creodron never found Lianda Bureau, who carries a very important piece of technology, a trinary datacore of Jovian origin. Hilen Tukoss loses track of her Clone Two, as well, and she and her team continue the Vitrauze Project independent of any Empire. On the run from her own Federation, with the help of a certain Jinn Mei Senator. Perhaps the same who speaks to Tukoss in the latest chron. All this points to some very covert work by the Gallente and Caldari and Hilen Tukoss is(was) an apparent high ranking agent within the State.

Much as Hilen Tukoss seems to have jumped into treason with Eifyr, Lianda abandoned the Federation, apparently to keep something important away from the Empires, or in a bid driven by greed and ego to be the “discoverer” of whatever she seeks. Though I am leaning toward the first. Except she is still working covertly within the Federation...

As the Gallente and the Caldari originated in the same solar system, this seems to point to something shared before the Caldari left the Federation. Common knowledge to those in the know from both Empires. It could be related to the Yan Jung, too.

"I see," the director finally offered. "Tell me, Hilen?"
"Yes, sir?"
"Is it their previous experience that you're after?"
And suddenly Hilen realized that he knew. He knew something, at least. Enough to ask the question, and ask it in such an indirect way. There was no telling what was infiltrated now. No line was secure.
"Yes, sir." Hilen felt a dull ache in the depth of his stomach, the pain of the one soldier who returned back to base alive, having seen the onslaught to come.
Except this time, nobody had fired a shot, and nobody would. [Anoikis Chronicle]

Cut to a Zainou boardroom, the Jinn Mei Senator is implicated as Lianda Burreau's Clone One, one of Hilen Tukoss' assets and they suggest she needs to be watched, to which Tukoss dismisses her importance and reports to his immediate supervisors and suggests bringing in an Ishukone agent, presumably as it relates to advanced tech that may be beyond Zainou? Someone is playing a very taut game of cat and mouse.

His superior suspects something about Tukoss' motivations. “Their previous experience” is a cryptic reference to what motivates Hilen Tukoss, as if they all seem to know what the Sleepers represent. And a veiled reference to an escalation of the Caldari\Gallente ideological struggle ends the scene. Lianda Burreau is not dead. She is the Jinn Mei Senator and a distinct possibility for the leak that allowed Ore's founder to hack Creodron's virtuality and the contact that speaks to Hilen Tukoss in the recent chrons.

Final scene is a meeting of some group that has considerable pull in the “Inner Assembly” of CONCORD. I know of no other Assembly's which would be capitalized except the Jovian Assembly. And it seems this may be the Jovian Assembly, crime bosses or the Society of Conscious Thought. In any event, it clearly states this particular faction is working covertly in Anoikis.

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then, and it's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.

Further, it seems the ambassador, speaking to the shadow faction at the end knows Lianda survived, and it seems he too, is playing the game of Foundation or Empire here..

The evidence that implicates this shadow faction of some impropriety is present in the four items the Empires collect from capsuleers.

They are apparently glossing it over, and the advances it suggests are being downplayed and the research directed into avenues that hide the truth.

Data Library: 11,799,985

Neural Network Analyzer: 1,162,057

Coordinates Database: 244,234

Drone AI Nexus: 70,726

These are the items being used to create new t2 items, and cyber enhancements, but, what are they really for?

Which of the new T2 items use these? I looked and could not see anything.

Alluded to in the new chronicle;

“Yes, that is certainly the reputation you cultivate. Anyhow, the specifics are this: Acting under the pretense of an arms race, the empires are about to release a number of new Tech II modules and capsule upgrades. The technology behind these developments is Sleeper in origin, and most of it was developed from material identified during the Vitrauze Agreement as practically worthless. If the origin of these modules and improvements were ever to become public knowledge, this agreement would need to be rewritten, something everyone would rather avoid.”

New Tech II modules and implants..

And four corporations are making bank on Jovian supplied insider information to hide the original uses of the equipment, something the Jove don't want publicized, even though it is clearly for our own good..Evil

Also, in Anoikis, Hilen Tukoss muses a bit to his second, Arii;

"I'm not sure, but they only need to know what system to look in, and then we would become very noticeable, very quickly. We've stumbled on to something here, and right now, nobody knows it is the only advantage we have."

One must wonder what system he is referring to, it is not Vitrauze.

The scariest thing of it all, Lianda Burreau is a Sleeper agent under the direction of the State's premiere neuropsychologist. Multiple active clones using the base personality of the Federation's leading Astrophysicist can be inferred.

Hilen Tukoss has used the blood and treasure of the Capsuleer community to fund and construct a massive research facility in Eram, under the pretense of solving the Sleeper mystery. Lots of intrigue and conspiracy theory, Arek'Jaalan should be hopping, too bad this is all OOC stuff.. Sad

I think Dropbear somewhat confirmed that in fact both the senator and Lianda and I think also Hillen were students of SCT, It explains Hillen realizing on the phone call that there are other parties other than his(SCT) that have advanced knowledge about Sleepers. Makes sense, Creodron finds the wormhole gets told by the senator to use Lianda as Guinea pig but she has been waiting for this moment and knows exactly what her job is and does it. And now she is waiting for us clueless capsuleers and Hillen to come and save her or at least reveal the true nature of the Sleepers.


So I found this interesting book about the Popol Vuh.

Quote:
But then the gods, who had not intended to make and model beings with the potential of becoming their own equals, limited human sight to what was obvious and nearby. Nevertheless, the lords who once ruled a kingdom from a place called Quiché, in the highlands of Guatemala, once had in their possession the means for overcoming this nearsightedness, an ibl'al, a "seeing instrument" or a "place to see"; with this they could know distant or future events. The instrument was not a telescope, not a crystal for gazing, but a book.


This is just the first paragraph of the introduction. Sounds interesting doesnt it. Havent read the rest yet tough. I think EVE has all three, the book, the instrument and a place. I could be wrong though.

The thing is, the chron infers that Lianda Burreau has two clones, designated One and Two by Hilen Tukoss. Clone Two was used by Lianda to complete the Vitrauze Project. Clone One is the Jinn Mei Senator. I read it that both these clones are active simultaneously. So what is that indicative of? Hyperconsciousness? Or something else?

[ "We know where One is. If you're near a holovid screen--"

The man raised his view to one of the panels filling the lobby outside the board room. Just below a large platinum-thorium etching that read “ZAINOU BIOTECH - BOARD OF DIRECTORS,” there was the pale, innocent face of the Jin-Mei he'd ordered his corporation's best surveillance to watch. The voices back inside grew louder for a moment before being quickly overcome by the growing sound of her own voice. They were all watching now.

"I see her. What is going on?"

The woman who spoke was a Federation Senator – and a Jin-Mei woman at that. ]

Lianda Burreau herself suggested sending Lianda Burreau as the guinea pig. Or a being based on Lianda Burreau's neural scan did.

Interesting it wasn't just me picking up on the fact that someone (probably Jove) was responsible for the T3 ship designs. There are plans within plans it seems. The problem here is that the plans extend to such a massive level it's hard to get your head around them. There was the cache of IsoV, which it is unlikely the rogue drones started (if I remember the chron correctly), which was taken over by the rogue drones, ones which were utterly sentient. They then continued the task, though rebelled against it, for what seem to be utterly odd reasons. You then have superweapons fueled by IsoV, give to an Amarrian leader who disappeared and was potentially a modified clone. Sansha WH generation tech with added ship stuff and access to a Jove system (not sure on the canon of Jove-ness).

Oh, and then you throw in the SoCT, which means you have to consider everyone educated by them as a potential associate.

So the entire universe is plotting and somehow capsuleers know nothing about it? This could get fun.

EDIT: Also the closure of Anoikis... how did the Talocan get in? They must have been there before? If one race closed it, it'd be more likely to be the Sleepers as the more established party.

Ya, I haven't had a chance, yet, to explore the next clue, which is bloodline. There are obviously some very old families involved here. I am loving how the present day conspiracy theories are intimately wrapped up in New Eden. The Illuminati are alive and well in the cluster.

Also corporatism.. It is not just the State that has rampant corporatism.. There are four major Corporations benifitting hugely from the capsuleers pillaging Anoikis. They don't want their competitors finding out the details of this scam, of which CONCORD is entirely complacent to.

What is the scam? War..

No different than the U.S.A. pushing war to sustain an artificial economy that is foisted upon us by bankers and their sycophant legislators.. So too, Eve is an experiment in economic architecture.. As is CCP the Illuminati of New Eden. How they choose to express their existence in game is the mystery we explore.

I made comment a long time ago that the Mirror had a huge media dissemination facility. What does the modern day conspiracy theory point at as the propaganda machine of the New World Order? Mainstream Media. Time Warner, Rothschilds, big money controlling the flow of information. Add Semiotic Theory and it appears SOMEONE has been controlling the evolution of New Eden for a long time. Suvee, the Scope.. Through the flow of information. And what is an infomorph?

Another of the present day conspiracy theories that parallels our investigation.. Dying NASA scientist.. Just how does that nasty little Enhuadanni voice get into peoples heads?

Sound? Radio? Static? Solar emmisions? The Mirror..

Do the Talocan Static Gates function using the mechanics of static electricity? Wormhole creation by gate uses a similar mechanic, two conductive units exerting energy outward until they complete a circuit.

The Devil was cast out of heaven and he descended like lightning unto the Earth..LolCool

As to the ships, Talocan ships yield Sleeper hulls, sleeper technology in New Eden seemed to be modification of existing hulls and electronic systems.. Analog and Digital... Sound and Video.. Almost parasitic..


P.S. "Somewhere far from Carirgnottin I"

"I'm not sure, but they only need to know what system to look in, and then we would become very noticeable, very quickly. We've stumbled on to something here, and right now, nobody knows it is the only advantage we have."

Has anyone in Arek'Jaalan made the trip to Carirgnottin?

It also has offices of Creodron, Caldari Business Tribunal and and Impro station.. Impro is a Jovian Biotech company in direct competition with Zainou Biotech and allied with the Carthum Conglomerate.. Odd that a Jovian company would align itself with the Amarr...

Looking at the Carthum Conglomerate, Sarum's are a major shareholder, as is it's direct competitor, Ducia Foundry. Looks like there are few buyouts transpiring in New Eden. I agree a shareholder can be an individual and it can be a corporate or large interest. Thanks, gives me something new to look at..

@Jowen, if you are implying that is why Hilen was there, the HQ is at Planet X, Planet I is mentioned in the chron.. It very well may be why he was in Carirgnottin, but it hints at Planet I specifically.

I'm not convinced the Jin Mei Senator is (a) Lianda clone.

I think the references One and Two are the locations of Lianda's jump clones, important to continue the surveillance mentioned later.

Also notice the italics in the following "before her superior was even aware". There are very few people that could be considered superior to a Federation Senator. The italics imply that is a pretence. She IS superior in some way. I agree the obvious way is SoCT training. Later, whoever Hilen reports to, considers Lianda to be Hilen's asset (agent).
I agree they are probably SoCT plants, but I'm sure the reference to "previous experience" is for Ishukone, not Lianda.

Also later, whoever Hilen reports to, considers Lianda to be Hilen's asset (agent).

I don't see Lianda as a Guinea pig, more of a Fatted Calf.

Hmm, I read Benevolent Suicide.

Lianda made the choice of her own accord. It appears that Seylinn was instituted as a method to bring about the greater good in the future. The opening of wormholes..

Being as it has direct bearing and more of the puzzle pieces, I had meant try to expand on the Vitrauze Project Chronicle, but, it is convoluted as all get out, and I am struggling to decipher it all..Ugh

"The woman who spoke was a Federation Senator – and a Jin-Mei woman at that. This brashness was not her fault. She could only know assertion to be where she stood now, glimpsing something before her superior was even aware. She had long ago recognized that the fastest route to the truth was not dissimilar to the flight path of a bullet, or the trajectory of superheated coronal mass crashing into a planet: an inevitably straight line."

Indeed it makes you wonder what kind of gathering this is? SoCT? CONCORD Assembly? As you said, who outranks a Federation Senator? His name is Darieux? Clueless, here, I'm afraid.

And how does Ishukone have a video feed? This video feed must be relativelly near in time to her outburst in the "meeting".

No, he is her superior, not in mental capacity, perhaps. But, he is higher in the chain of command in whatever shadow faction she is involved with. Some Creodron interest? I am leaning again for the SoCt.

Hilen is reporting to Ishukone and they suspect his ulterior motives. The question is, who is the "they" the Ishukone bigwig is refferring to in his past experience question. Creodron, or the Sleepers?

Also, read the personality descriptions of the Senator, and then hit the Vitrauze Project and read Lianda's desciptions of her own deductive reasoning skills. These two woman are cut from the same cloth. If you had the premiere Astrophysicist in the cluster in your ranks, wouldn't you want to insure that genetic stock is preserved?

Old Man Darieux founded CreoDron and he is reported to have died shortly afterwards, however it is still run by the Darieux family.

My interpretation is that it is likely Roni Darieux and the perspective of board is that he is her superior by right of that position. The detached perspective is that she is infact his superior; because of her position in this 'shadow organisation' which is quite likely made up of Soct Alumni and therefore also his intellectual superior.

The President is superior to a Senator. It could be as simple as that. Knowing something before your President does implies priviliged access to information kept secret by CreoDron. Remembering that the Black Eagles ultimately ended up interfering with CreoDron's investigation, the idea of them trying to hide this from the government fits well.

Also, if this is the same Senator from the Vitrauze Project, then we have a slightly odd situation here. She warned Lianda away from CreoDron, and yet she's standing in their boardroom. I'm not yet sure what to make of that.

I'm currently working on a similar annotation for the Vitrauze Project. Hopefully I can borrow your comments here Roga, when I get around to Anoikis?

trinary datacore - i seen this listed on a recon ship some guys said ccp left in there WH system a few months ago, and instead of trying to take the abandoned ship they blew it up for the KM and destroyed the trinary datacore that was inside of it.



more than likely its lost for ever because of some scrub wanting a kill-mail

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Seems the Yuletide had more than just CCP's presents waiting for me.Big smile So I thought it was time to post one of my not so helpful posts.

I think the missing clone might have been shipped back to SCT. Combine, literally and metaforicly, that with the trinary data and I think we get our old new professor of astrophysics back. But I could be wrong. The trinary data shares its icon with a couple of other items in game but the most interesting i find the one in the missions arc The anomaly. In this mission it is used to scan the neural activity of the crew if im not mistaken. The trinary data held Lianda's neural data up untill the last moment that it was capable of being scanned. Assuming she was a student of SCT she could have all this technology.
