I altered the lighting on FPC's pic of harbinger poster to see it more clearly. View attachment 367 Could it be a revamped Umbranoid? or is it just my imagination? Also when trying to insert it in this post I came across this: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris nibh quam, ornare nec vehicula vel, elementum eu metus. Donec sit amet risus vel neque pellentesque congue. Nulla placerat, mi non imperdiet hendrerit, elit augue vehicula mauris, vitae dictum massa tortor ut tortor. Vivamus eget risus tortor. Vestibulum nec adipiscing risus. Duis sit amet lectus felis, eget laoreet est. Is it hidden text in image or something? or probably just me ignorance on how to use images in posts? Anyway looks like latin? so could be placed by FPc they use latin in events don't they?
hehe using an online latin to english translator i got this: Translations: Lorem itself pain he is amet consectetur to come up to elit. Mauris nibh how ornare and not conveyance or , first principle good fear. Up to the time when he is amet laughter or worthless pellentesque to congeal. Nulla to please mi not imperdiet hendrerit elit augue conveyance mauris , life word massa tortor when tortor. Vivamus eget laughter tortor. Vestibulum and not to come up to laughter. Duis he is amet bed lucky eget laoreet is. A bit more sense but still a lot of gibberish need to find better online translator :) Edit: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/gallery/pics/2/4/5/billys.jpg Same text is also in this pic: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris nibh quam, ornare nec vehicula vel, elementum eu metus. Donec sit amet risus vel neque pellentesque congue. Nulla placerat, mi non imperdiet hendrerit, elit augue vehicula mauris, vitae dictum massa tortor ut tortor. Vivamus eget risus tortor. Vestibulum nec adipiscing risus. Duis sit amet lectus felis, eget laoreet est.
Latin's not my area but "Lorem ipsum.." is commonly used as text filler.. So nothing more mystic than that i suspect Better explained here: Lorem ipsum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George can you tell us where you found that text. I still think it is weird some Latin text is floating around somewhere without any purpose.
Umbranoids returning.... me likes :D Although, taking in account the recent bot event and the 'evolution' of the robots, i wouldn't be surprised if it was a new bot, mixed with... human DNA? There have been experiments after all... CYBORGS rule!
It's probably just like Raven said placeholder text. If you look at the wikipedia link he provided it tells more about it. It doesn't make sense because it's not proper Latin just random letters thrown in. To see this text. Find an image from the gallery and try and place it inside a post via insert image button and when you've placed it note theres a pencil icon somewhere on the image. Double click the pencil icon or point over it or click once and you should see the text. If you don't see the pencil icon just click on image somewhere maybe near edge... It definately looks like an umbranoid to me under the helmet thingy. So my guess is the orbs may well return and we will get to go onto the other side this time. Which will be the new environment and have new creatures in it. .. What this has to do with robots i have no idea, guess we'll find out. Maybe their disappearance will be explained by the robots. The word harbringer means bearer of something else to come. Like frost is harbringer of winter (i read that on dictionary.com :P ). So these revamped umbranoids may be a precursor to a bigger enemy an unknown enemy... or it's just our imagination :)
Sounds bit like surpisingly usual "oh fuck, i forgot to replace the lorem with the real content" mistake.
Well the verdict is out on that one :) Thinking more about it the creature in pic is a robotified umbranoid to me. The red eyes indicate bot , the skin underneath looks umbranoid, or maybe it's just a normal person that been captured by robots and experimented upon...
I really hope FPC will go that way... having Umbranoids back but enhanced roboticaly... brings up soo many possibilities. Heck, they could even give them decent AI for those who ask for it, differentiating them from the 'mobs' of all types. After all, they're supposed to be the most advanced species on planet...
Manny both your posts make sense to me with the story that was playing out last year and beyond. The orbs and the talk of melding robot technology with human dna etc. Maybe we are on the verge of another manifestation of the story line.
So I did some googleing on Harbinger and found a nice explanation for it in the dictionary: a person who goes ahead and makes known the approach of another. anything that foreshadows a future event; omen; sign: Frost is a harbinger of winter. a person sent in advance of troops, a royal train, etc., to provide or secure lodgings and other accommodations. Especially the 3th one gives me the creeps, what the Hell are they planning????
lol, if only there were apartments. No I'm afraid this will be the beginning of another invasion. Not robots this time buy biological/mechanical hybrids with the strong points of both and therefor pretty hard to get rid of. I'm guessing the Umbranoid went through the orbs to some other dimension or time, evolved there due to time or technology and are now coming back to Calypso to teach us a lesson on how we treat them in the past and are now coming to do the same with us.
Take a look at the Book of the Machine. Extract: When the genetically-programmed quantum computers came online, a new order emerged: the non-order of the rhizome. We would like to think that there is, somewhere, a computer server which is the brain of the robot kind, because that's how we would create it. We hope that it is, because it gives us hope that there is a possibility that we can make one surgical strike and take the robots out. Sadly for us, there isn't. Instead, there is the rhizome, in which every quantum core can be connected to any other quantum core. There is no center; there's just one cloud of quantum cores that connects to each other. Even if ruptured, each part of the rhizome can serve as an independent whole until it is reunited. There is no apparent structure; there is only the rhizome. There is the Mind Cloud.
interesting, so we take one out and noting happens, the big cloud mind still goes on until we kill all of them. Really wonder hat will happen.
