EVE Fiction

I think he is talking about the "Awakened Infomorph" character that appeared after a certain event in wormhole space.

Are you saying...

Watch The Matrix Revolutions.

Then read Templar One. Then, consider that there are Rogue Drone structures that look suspiciously like Jove stations. Mix, add one pint of your favorite alcohol-based beverage (not that I condone drinking, it just seems the way most people begin to understand my mad ramblings). About then, you might get the most peculiar notions.



Like, for instance, if one could download into a machine from a body, why not download from that machine into another machine? What would happen if you were stuck in a virtual reality for so long that you couldn't cope with the realities of having a body?

It may not make sense at first. But yeah, it's not a direct connection. Also, as Dropbear messaged me on Twitter one day; do a Google search for "Primacy Caveat". Could be something, could be nothing. Never hurts to take a gander.

And then, maybe into artificial biological bodies..? How would one escape an infomorphic institution of the mind? Just who went Rogue? When did the Jove begin to fight back? After they were being forced into the virtuality? Do the quarantine sites represent the Enhuadanni or the Jove?

The Sleepers were obviously forcing baseline humans or Jovians into servitude as Enhuadanni or additions to their Virtuality.

There is a distinct similarity in the wording of the Talocan Exchange Depot and a Sleeper structure that recharges and sustains the Sleeper Drones. I always "guessed" it implied the Sleeper Drones themselves are akin to capsuleer vessels, with the exception being the "pilot" no longer had a body, or much will of it's own.

Take for example, "Sleepless Defender", on duty forever. "Awakened Sentinel", a newly jacked in pilot pulled out of the virtuality to defend the stations.. Something became seriously flawwed within their Utopia...

It begs the question, do Sleeper Drones Sleep or Dream? And other inherently mad and dellusional queries, like shouldn't my Gallente standings go down when I kill Rogue Drones, or was that Jovian standings? Whatever DID happen to the those opportunistic Yan Jungs?

Further, I feel compelled to reassess my view of the Jove that "remain". I think I misjudged their motivations..

What would the diametric view be for the Society of Conscious Thought? Unconscious Thought? Dreaming? Why would the Jove refuse the Empires access to a code that would allow them to control the Rogue Drone problem? Why would the Jove allow one of their own to be surrendered to the Rogue Drones? Whom the Society, at least, can control with ease. Surrendered for the crime of allowing that code into Empyrean hands.. Where might the Jove be looking to sustain their race?

Infomorphism and genetic mapping could open some interesting possibilities..

'Course, they could all be electronic mind devourers that have taken over the human elite to institute cluster wide domination of the cattle, too...

Assume the following: The Jove are dead.

If they weren't delivering it to the Jove, who would they be delivering it to?

The answer isn't that hard if you think about it; remember, they were reset. Meaning whoever was behind their operation had no control over them at that point.

Hint:



Bonus points if you can figure out who reprogrammed them.

Not as far off as you'd think.

Try Ishukone, or more accurately, a certain ex-Ishukone CEO's friends/family. There may be a quiz on this later.

The inhuman "voice" even has a name, and once you know that name, it all fits into place. It's not Jamyl's little "voice", that's for sure. So, who can control drones, and have a way to gain control of them again? Who would have connections with Blood Raiders? Why would the individual(s) in question feel that they had the upper hand in dealing with the Blood Raiders?

The other thing, about who controlled the drones before the code was implemented? It's both a hint to the origin of the drones, and the answer to why the "super weapon" was there in the first place.

I mean, I could just say it all right now, but where would the fun in that be? The evidence is there, in black and white... you just have to put aside your initial theories and look at the evidence from a different point of view.

Candle?

[RP] We can? interesting.

I will have to try this one day. [/RP]

on a more lore related note, iirc there were tales of rogue drones subsuming (infesting / assimilating) humans, and specifically capsuleers when they were first encountered.

the spectrum breach event that supposedly created the rogue drone race caused the entire drone population of several regions to turn on their controllers simultaneously...

and, rogue drones take defeated ships, outposts, scrap, debris and nearby asteroids, and turn them into hives, lairs and more drones. some of the hives even look like scaled up capsuleer ships and drones... (one of them even has an almost dreadnought sized vexor hull attached to the top... o.O )

to answer an earlier question regarding the binary used in missions, there are many different messages that are sent, some have apparent meaning, some are hints, some are red herrings, and others, much like 'prepare to die n00b' are just the devs having a little fun.

(if you want more proof that the devs like to have a laugh, just look at the initials of the meta versions of the target painter)

Partial Weapon Navigation - PWN
Peripheral Weapon Navigation Diameter - PWND
Parallel Weapon Navigation Transmitter - PWNT
Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron - PWNAGE

I think it is quite possible that Rouge Drones are degraded 'fragments' of sleeper info-morphs.

Remember the (Damaged) Rogue Drone in Algintal which depicts a Jovian face.

Residual body image, perhaps.
