Right, so recently the robots invaded us, now a robot communication has been intercepted in the source code of Entropia Gateway,

Recieved the intel here

Also in a mission related to the volcano a Gen star communication was intercepted saying this:

Also in previous EBN brodcasts there have been hints of artificial objects causing tremors. The tremors caused the volcano to erupt, and this same volcano is what triggered a increased robot presence, Gen star had a interest in the area too.

So, as this is all we have to go on at this point, what does this tell us?

• Robots need and appear to be producing some chaotic element to break down biological psycho-dynamics ::Update:: they are messing with biological psycho dynamics to become smarter
• Genesis star are working on some Lacuna technology that has been tested on inmates of the penal asteroid, the results leave survivors violent and uncontrollable
• Gen star are trying to communicate with the robots
• The gen star communication appeared to be some covert operation
• Jamraders have reappeared for the first time since 2006
• The revival points have began to fail, this became apparent in a mission where someones relative had died because restreaming failed(Updated, not to do with robots)
• Lacuna Tech, the definition of Lacuna is rather interesting and kinda relevant, can be viewed here
• The name Mr Book is also a character in a film called dark city, it involves people with mind powers similar to mindforce, more info of the film can be viewed here

Right so, Hydra, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lernaean_Hydra

Quote:"The Hydra was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna"

Hydra is the offspring of Typhon, therefore, it points toward the suspicions that Typhon left something behind thats been burrowing underground.

Quote:"Beneath the waters was an entrance to the Underworld, and the Hydra was its guardian."

Could we be getting some kind of underground cave network or something?

i feel the rest of it in this case just points toward the sheer power of whatever's coming.

I'll be out there filming waiting for whatever's coming...


::UPDATE::

Been looking at the area, and theres a 70 meter across dip in the ground, as if theres been subsidence from drilling, the dip is almost parallel to the hades crater.

a.t.m. all evidence for me is pointing toward hydra came from Typhon and has been drilling here ever since.

I'm also beginning to think this could lead to a brand new updated part of the map.


::UPDATE2::

This oddly is the similar location the eomon migrated to, I'm thinking perhaps they were attracted by hydras vibrations?

Ok, so ive been thinking this all over and what it means. And ive come to another conclusion. From what i can see, the robots are experementing in some form of biological engineering. Taking a organic approach to computing so they become immortal.

Now as we know Genesis Star are operating some form of human experementation and communicating with the robots. From what i can see they can be up to two things.

A. Working to reduce the robot mindcloud so the robots die of stupidity. and developing some form of tech to fight this.

or alternitively, the slightly more interesting but devasatiing,

B. Its a covert operation, working with the robots to operate some human experementation to further develop the organic approach to computing. Perhaps the robots have these people under mind controll, or some other form of controll.

Either way, the Lacuna Tech could be something for the robots instead of against. We know for a fact that the Genesis Star people dont want to be discovered

Quote:"MAN2: It would be very dangerout if we were to be discovered. There wil be Results. We just need a little time."

Either way, the text hydra came with to me sugguests this isnt the last we have seen of hydra.

Quote:"In effect, the robot species will become immortal. Like the hydra, it doesnt matter how mant of its head you cut off"

but dont take my word for it, you have the evidence in this thread, you have my views, make your own mind up and let me know your verdict!

This has confirmed what the hydra scan info said, hydra is a robot experement of organic computing to become immortal.

So the question is, why would a advanced robot unit be telling us vital intel to whats going on?

Well i feel what it is, the robots are deliberatly sending hydra out to learn, and need us to be there so it fights us. Organic computing might mean it now learns much like humans do.

So perhaps each time hydra returns it will be bigger and better with more stats?

but most of all, a Trial of the new technology that, if a sucess, could become a part of all robots.

I thought the RX were Ellite Robots that scout ahead and that their on the same side?

Thats what previous evidence that ive seen sugguests, and everyone else ive spoke to so far.

Well thats not going to happen, it'll be on a mission and will do anything to complete that.

But ive been thinking, the old generation of bots its said that the more there are the more netoerk latency there is, so in a way makes them stupid, what if we were to set it up so they some how die of stupidity?

I mean killing them reduces their numbers, but leaving them alive lets them free to kill people, and even then the old generation bots will be overshadowed by the next generation tech thats in trial atm.

There must be some kind of plan we can form to beat them at their own game...

Intelligence Report 20 Aug 22:33

By Stave

I had another thought on Genesis Star and what they may be up to, as we know they have a connecion with the empire of earth and such, and as we also know our plan to beat the robots is to steal robots tech, and reengineer it to beat them.

As the robots are advancing on a far faster rate than we are.

So i think what gen star could be up to is developing some new weapon that can be used to stop the robots, possibly something to combat this next generation tech they are trialing now. And hacking into the robots mindcloud to steal vital info.

So, we had the second round of hydra, this time around it showed signs of evolving and becoming smarter, its regen speed improved as well as got more health making it much harder to kill. As well as that it had gained laser and electric attacks, and getting smarter and interchanging tactics. Its learning from its mistakes, and thinking much like we do.

The attack waves that came before and after it had also increased, as well as adding extra layers. After the hydra some Warrior Commander 010011's spawned, so theres signs of it possibly leading the attack and telling what bots to attack when and whare.

Unfortunatley due to a incident i wont mention here we didnt get the chance to find out if calypso's finest was able to kill it, so were going to have to wait to round three for that.

I suspect that in round three it will be much more powerfull than before, maybe not increasing regen, but perhaps increaing run speed, so it can outrun vehicles, and we will be unable to outsmart it and turret it.

It is now evident that the robots are evolving this organic approach to computing and getting great results, this poses a great threat to humanitys future, i have to ask, why hasnt CDF or EBN made any statements on whats happening.

Putting typhon and the apocalypse aside, this is the greatest threat Calypso and the empire of earth has faced...

So why hasnt any of the offical goverment run services made any statements to whats going on?

Have they abandoned us?

Or are we truely doomed, and they dont want to admit that as it would cause universal panic?

Unfortunately only time will tell...

EBN News: New robot encryption cracked (August 21, 2010)

EBN News:
Intelligence work was thrown into disarray as the robots deployed a new encryption protocol. Thanks to intelligent code breakers, the new code was cracked and we now know that the robots will deploy their new Hydra robot at least twice.

However, CDF Intelligence Service is worried about that not all of the coded transmissions have been decoded.

“At least one coded transmission is still not decrypted” an analyst says. “Who knows what it contains? It can be a change of time, change of location, or even that the whole trial has been suspended because someone spilled coffee in the next Hydra unit.”

The encrypted transmission was sent on Friday at around 14:45 UTC, and contained the following codes:

0×9E6064229232546591EEC41E64F538939E01B21649B F

The Death of a Hydra

The Death of a Hydra

Photographic Documentation from tonight’s killing of the new robot-type “Hydra”. This was the third in the series; The first was claimed by Art of War, the second had a run-in with our city defenses and the third were taken down today by Universe United.

The JamRaiders were allowed to silently scout the new area out, since no one had yet cracked the robot intercept about the new coordinates:


Some of Calypso’s finest were already on stand-by though, much thanks to the expert decoder Aia. When the EBN hit about the new coordinates, it did not take long until the area was filled with triggerhappy colonists, quickly killing off the waves of robots.


And then Hydra appeared:

Intelligence Report 21 Aug 21:56

By Stave

...

Further evidence showing the improved abilitys of the new robot was witnessed today when robots deliberately misslead calypso's finest into waiting at the wrong location, a vital intercept wasnt decoded in time.

This allowed the Jamraders to silently scout out the area in question without any trouble.

The new location was clearly picked to increase chances of other creatures causing trouble for us, as Spider Stalkers, Atrox old alpha and Berry Stalkers kept attacking us in what seemed to be waves.

What the robots didnt count for though, is the sudden increase of calypsians that came in from all directions waiting to kill hydra, and this time around was taken down without any trouble. Unfortunately the quick takedown means we have no way of knowing if hydra's abilitys have improved this time around.

...

What comes to mind is a statement oleg made the other day, maybe the extra bots around it made it stronger, whare i dont think that was the case, oddly enough yesterday there were many more bots around when hydra had impressive regen, and indeed wasnt taken down by our firepower.

If hydra does indeed learn from its mistakes i feel sunday 19:00 we may see another increasement of power.

Something i have noticed is hydra does seem to be taller every time i see it, weather thats just coincidence or theres something in that i dont know.

Atleast we won tonight, the question is, at what cost. I feel its a mistake were giving it all we have. As we know it uses a new organic approach to computing to be smarter, so giving it all we have, will only make it smarter more powerfull and more deadly once these trials are over.

Atleast CDF is beginning to show themselves and showing us they are still there watching out backs, I just hope CDF and the imperial forces of the empire of earth have some kind of plan to strike back at the robots for everything they have done to us over the years.

RX Unit 471 Intelligence Report Aug 24 11:49

By Stave

Today RX Unit 471 returned to Twin peaks to talk to us, she is not a part of the robot invasion, and she won't state her purpose of being here, but this is what i have of the conversation so far:

Quote:

[Robert Black] yes but if we lack the tool to receive the stimulus theen we cannot process the information, because we can't receive it

[Unit RX 471] that representation is separated from the phase space it represents by a filter consisting of sensory equipment.

[Unit RX 471] i.e. it can be argued that the phase space does not exist.

[Unit RX 471] and that only the representation of the phase space, as created by your central processing unit, exists. processing unit has no other information except the information passed through the filter of external sensory equipment.

[Unit RX 471] if external sensory equipment is compromised, the central processing unit have no means to tell false information from real.

[Unit RX 471] if a virtual phase space can be perceived in the same way as a physical phase space can be perceived, then both of these have to be considered real.

[Unit RX 471] conclusion: humans are limited to perception of physical space

[sidxx] so you dont want the robots so be come stronger/smarter then the RX race?

[Unit RX 471] no further information on hydra.

[Unit RX 471] robots are, diffrent species

[sidxx] i understand that

[Unit RX 471] session.ends; If anyone can send me further data from that conversation that would be awesome.

So what have we learnt so far?

The RX has telling us how robot processing and sensory equipment works, it was describing how the robots work and how we only have perception of phisical space.

It was also saying this:

Quote:

[Unit RX 471] if external sensory equipment is compromised, the central processing unit have no means to tell false information from real. So if we damage the external sensory equipment, the robots will get confused.

We also have confirmation that robots are a diffrent species than the RX units, but will not state why they are helping us, or what thier intentions are.

Now, this is whare the Genesis Star intel comes in,


As it says, they have reengineered the robots technology, and have indeed gained access to the virtuana memory space, aka phase space. So this tells us we have indeed gained access to phase space and Genesis star are infact figuring it out.

This Technology must be what the Lacuna Technology is, as it says, its too unstable, theres been casultys and evidently have driven people insane, to the point they are violent and uncontrollable.

Their being monitored by the robots and thats why they are being cautious about this, So this is big news.

Also in the post above ive posted some robot transmissions, it appears they are concerned about the fact the RX gave us this data...

Note: im currently waiting for the full chat log and i will update report when i get it

::Update::

This hydra attack today added some more levels of attacks ontop, we had Second entitys and defenders after hydra died.

Hard Proof hydra is evolving....
