I promised to update you on the progress We’ve made on the navigational puzzle as well as the markings. So without further ado, here is what we understand so far.
In the search for Guardian ruins someone came across an obelisk displaying these 3 glyphs. Before long they had been found in several locations, but analyzed very little along with a fourth they had found on the crystals. Bringing us to a grand total of four in the game.
With the original 12 glyphs from the data mission and the additional eight we believed we had from the ram tah vid, that made 24.
We had assumed that someone had already tried comparing them in the last 5 years. We were wrong.
Not a single report exists anywhere where anyone tried to compare these glyphs.
In less than five minutes we eliminated four and matched 3 others. Leaving us with five plus the artifacts.
And after comparing them to the timeline, I now believe I know the meaning of these three glyphs.
These three glyphs in my belief represent the three types of blueprints you were supposed to find for Guardian tech. I also think that their placement and the way they were oriented were supposed to help you begin an understanding of the Guardians abstract inferensial navigational mystery.
Christ, I sound like a Vulcan
Anywho
The problem now is that they are gone so any hope of unraveling that part of the puzzle is lost. The console version I have differs from the PC version and there is no one to confirm whether or not the new glyphs are in the same locations.
But we are studying these in a laboratory and there are patterns in their behavior.
And while an effort is underway to get me onto PC by the community, I am digging into these as much as I can.
The Matched glyphs include the orb, the information glyph from the crystals, we say that because there's already a glyph for the relics and this symbol is on three different crystal types. And we have what I believe to be the weapons blueprint glyph or one of its variations as there was more than one.
The ‘deciphered in theory’ glyphs are the ones from the original Obelisk display in this video from cannons guardian laboratory.
Using subtle hints in the logs, we believe the symbol represents the subject and the clockwise motion dictates them as technology.
In other words, they work like these. Simple iconography that infers meaning through elumination or motion.
In this case, two triangles are moving toward a flat surface, like projectiles at a target, universal for attack or offense.
We believe this is the symbol for weapons and the motion infers that it is technology. In short, weapons blueprints.
In the second example we see an arrow pointed towards an open slot. Installation.
We believe this to be the glyph for installable technology or modules. Module blueprints.
And the third example absolutely looks like my javelin fighter, so this is the glyph for fighter blueprints.
All three glyphs rotate clockwise from different intervals, unlike the new glyphs which rotate opposite each other at the same interval. The top one rotating clockwise and the bottom one rotating counterclockwise. We believe these to be orbs in some kind of fluctuation, like the ones onside the keys, But we are still analyzing.
Glyphs are also apparent in the architecture. Mostly at the structures where we have downloaded the technology presently displayed. But we have yet to test this across multiple structure types.
The structures we have observed seemed to have our fighter blueprint centered, with the installation glyph present seemingly as a verb. Not only did we find glyphs at this location and others but we also found directional markers on a large scale. So this also plays into the navigational puzzle.
And since we're on the subject of structures, we are finding more than a few features that hint at processes never unlocked or discovered. There are obvious interlocking parts and what looked to be sockets for very specific artifacts in very specific places. We've run a few tests but haven't found anything conclusive yet. We will let you know when we do.
This of course brings us to the subject of the navigational puzzle in the ruins. Of this, we have discovered not only a compass feature for the alpha but also a set of sundials with some kind of timing process present. The complex lines up its own cluster against distant Guardian clusters, and usually contains at least four timing process dials with Relic Towers to serve as hands.
They also contain an alignment pattern on the east side of the complex that matches the beacons alignment in space, as well as the central area of the beta complex, which contains what looks like Regional course Corrections for the puzzle started in the alpha. We are still analyzing the regional aspects of how the shapes represent these regions and we will update you when we find a match.
The beta itself is literally shaped like a regional marker and as we moved on to gamma we literally started to find parts of the Triangular lexicon and other markings that you could only see from high above the complex. They matched themarkings at the structures, the beacons, and their computer cores as well.
This was missed in large part due to heavy erosion of the sites especially around the guardian bubble. But the gamma complex is full of markings, diagrams, and patterns.
I have sent teams into the field to try to get the best images so we can find the best preserved sites to make our final analysis. And we are trying to break down the markers in our Laboratories, as these are the only moving feature in the puzzle. We are trying to get three overheads like these of fully complete and pristine sites. Then we will be able to make full comparisons without anything missing.
Earlier this month we started a study of the circuit boards and circuit patterns obvious at the sites and the arms of the beacons as well as their connections to The Relic towers.
And some of those patterns are actually lining up to the layout of certain complexes. When we have solid and definitive images we will include them in our next report.
And as for the guardian science core, it has become a well-oiled machine and there are discussions about a website. We will let you know.
But I have to get back to it so I will keep you posted on any further progress.
This is Commander V Clara
