Oi, have none of you people read The Empyrean Age?  Seriously, if you had, the name would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

Marcus Jror is the guy who discovered Jamyl's Superweapon.  :evil:

Alot of us tried to forget that book ever existed.
Myself included.

That and It was at least a year or more since I last read it, I'm not going to remember things like that too well... not with University being crammed in over the top of all the other EVE stuff I know, its what we have people like you around Ellis, to 'remind' us.

I've edited my last post to be less offensive, my apologies.

Thanks Ellis :)

While I don't find it 'offensive' as such, it was bordering on it - hence the sharply worded reply.

(As a side note, when informing the greater community of something that has been missed previously, assuming we should all know if because you do is a good way to land in hot water)

As such, the player character seems to be simply someone who read the book and created a char named the same, we did the same to one of the quotes provided earlier in the DUST 514 scrollings.

As such, if this is the Dr. who discovered the SuperWeapon, my point may still stand - he could quite easily discover the cloning methods for DUST soliders as well, unless he was killed/moved off latter in the book that I also don't remember

Oh, I think you are quite right:

[spoiler]Until the construction of this ship – a project funded by Jamyl Sarum before her death, run by Falek Grange, and executed by Marcus in complete secrecy – hunting for relics of the Old World was all but impossible. Knowledge that a place called ‘Terra’ ever existed, or that the origin of New Eden’s trillions of inhabitants came from worlds on the other side of EVE, was considered legend or fable by many. The governments of nation states were content to keep it that way, perhaps because the truth was too painful for humankind to accept.
-Gonzales, Tony (2010). EVE: The Empyrean Age (p. 434).[/spoiler]

Some more intelligently formed reasoning:

So... yeah.  For better or worse, all the evidence is there, but as the old Monty Python line goes, Camelot is a silly place.  :psyccp:

For someone who hasn't read Empyrean Age - are there any mentions of *other* terran tech in the book?

[spoiler]Just a Terran station with the words "EUROPA FLEET YARDS" or something in letters as big as frigates written on a hangar bay...

It's been some time since this was last pointed out: Which planet has a moon called "Europa"?

Also noteworthy, the station is in Delve (can't remember the system - had a blue sun, potentially Blood Raider sov) and was inhabited by Rogue Drones.

You know, that would be a good explanation as to how Jamyl Sarum could track down people and put voices in their head... wakka wakka!

So, we're thinking what? Launch of the official website? New trailer? big infodump?
