SakashiroDoes anyone know what the Artificers are all about? Galnet says they are another dredger clan, but dredger megaships are old technology, dating back to the 31st century. The frame shift drive was reverse-engineered from Thargoid technology in the 33rd century, so how can the Artificers install a frame shift drive on the Golconda? Do they know how to build one?

HeathenChild979Now THAT is a rabbit hole. Alice need to check her meds!
BluecrashKrynesurI heard there was a Director of sorts that had created experiments on splicing humans to control Thargoid Scout ships.
That sounds horrifying, but it would make an interesting background for a character.
You mean Caleb 'the wych' Wycherly?

Yes I do. I fear what the prisoner may have been subjugated to.

Co-evolution with an IA (amansilism or competition) is very hard when introduced to a humans mind.
A larger science groups first experiments with this caused bi-cameral mind among test subjects.
Being connected to a Thargoids hive mind, would likely be worse, at least until they became more friendly.

And we do have such a character, known only as "Subject D-2". They managed to escape the Oaken Point facility in HIP 26176 and leave a trail of information that led to its discovery by various CMDRs, apparently they were the only subject that managed to interface with a thargoid ship and not die horribly in the process.
Currently, there's some (admittedly mild) speculation that she might be the First Apostle of the True Chapters mentioned in a moderately recent Galnet article, although we don't know for sure what Subject D-2s accent was. We do know that she was apparently experiencing some frightening dreams due to the experiments, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of her going at least somewhat insane. Makes sense that she would probably be a person of GREAT interest to a thargoid-worshipping cult.
A.G.DuranSo, now the Proteus wave is overrun by thargoids. Well played, Salvation, well played. You haven't predicted such outcome, huh? What now we can do, maybe first.. use refabricated guardian relics to construct field suppressor? the all guardian gear is now in danger there. And who says they not gonna build their megaships with signel emitters?

No sense in using Guardian tech when it malfunctions in HIP 22460. At least, that's what I have heard from.
5 million tons of Guardian artifacts and research... Just exploded in a giant anomaly.

Is it because you thought you would get away with genocide of a sentient race? A race which by all available evidence have only acted in self defense of its territory before we attacked them and tried to wipe them out the first time?

"Might have made a mistake"?
What of the humans subjugated to horrid experimentations, like D-2, to Thargoid vessels? What of those scientists who hadn't known what they were getting into?
Those people left behind families to work the strenuous hours of Azimuth. Now, letters have to be sent out, just to tell them that they had died in the failure of the Proteus Wave superweapon.
