Intergalactic Summit

Today after finishing reading my prayer book to the evil Imperium forces in Assah, who are harassing the people of the Lord in Providence, I recieved intel that a small excursion out to the Drifter presence in The Khanid Kingdom was going to take place lead by Cardinal Kahar Dex. Lord Aldrith Shutaq, Lady Kerri Kane, Lady Arsia Elkin and Lord Longshanks II were also present as brave defenders of Amarria. Oh, and my father, Lord Akkad Akaya, who inspired me to investigate int he first place.

I joined up and went down in my Inquisitor.

Everyone who was going into the plexes was getting podded after their ships were insta-popped, uh, but they are very tolerant of me.

I think they tolerate me because I preach to them alot about Amarr religion and, I always say hello to them.

So when my ship was shot down, I stayed very still for about ten minutes, and one of the big ships approached within 1k of me but didn't shoot my pod! I slowly approached a ring of standing objects with a blue ring of fire in the center, very far off, about 50k. When I approached it, it became clear it was a ring of eight structures that when analyzed, my computer said they were thermoelectric converters. The center ring of blue fire registered as a wormhole and the pod told me it was too violent to enter.

I was struck by the resemblance of the converters to Gallente ship architecture. At first, I thought they were Domi's or something.

I had nothing to lose at this point. One of the big battleships came up next to me and brushed up against my pod, which was terrifying and encouraging.

I approached in close to the wormhole and took an image of it. I was so shocked to see an image of the Serpent's Coil deep in the depths of the blue ringed wormhole.

I've uploaded the images for you. Note that you can see the serpent's coil from even a distance. I wouldn't make these up and I don't even know how.

It seems pretty relevant that the image matches the scripture:

"So instructed the Queen to her champion,
‘Beware the righteous who seek truth in spirit alone;
The weak of mind are quick to judge with slightest tempt;
Thus fools go forth to spread false word,
Great misery follows those who heed what only the weak have heard.
Heed me champion, for only you shall know;
Within the blue ring of fire lies the final key of revelation.
Find this ring, my champion, and both mind and spirit shall be strong once more.’"
- The Scriptures, Book of Trials 2:13 - 2:21

I'm not trying to draw a conclusion, but there's definately an important symbolism going on here and a clue to the mystery of the Drifters and where they are coming from.

That green nebula formation is most definitely Cloud Ring. The bright blue nebula could be The Forge, but I can't be certain. I'd say this could perhaps be Pure Blind, but I'm not certain.

Pure Blind is mostly Goonswarm/Spacemonkey but there is a Sisters of Eve sovereign system there that might be worth checking out.

If someone blue to Imperium could check it out it might absolve you of the sinful actions going on in Providence.

The Drifters are CONCORD from the future.

I'm still in Baratar.

Things here are grim.

The blue/white nebula also looks like Black Rise.

Generally yes, however the wormhole surrounded by thermoelectric converters is a design we've also seen before.

The wormhole looks to lead to pure blind, based on the various nebula visible. The ring is obviously Cloud Ring, the blue nebula is the Lonetrek nebula in caldari highsec, and the brown band is the Glitter Belt, the galaxy that New Eden sits inside of and visible from almost anywhere in the cluster.

These are not the first drifter wormholes that appear to lead to Pure Blind, but I've yet to find anything in that region that indicates a drifter connection or presence. Pure Blind is also the home to the SOE, so maybe there is some yet unseen connection? The drifters could also be fooling us, using their generators to project a hologram over the wormhole to obscure its true destination.

Anybody try an entosis link on these odd structures?

There's still an elevated Amarr Navy presence in the area, but I imagine that they'll withdraw in coming days.

Hm.

Well, we'll be more ready when the Drifters return.
