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

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

Robot messages have been intercepted. Colonists should be cautions, as a large increase in the robot presence has been reported in various places on Planet Calypso. Several high level threats have also been detected. Stay alert.

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?

1st deploy of Hydra (August 18, 2010 - 17:00 UTC)

Read about it in the news article: Hydra taken down ... was this it?

• 

  The location.

• 

  The radar at event time.

• 

  Colonists waiting.

• 

  Fight.

• 

  And then came Hydra...

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
0×8A48C9519AC7
0×0C825A2AC1

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:
