Looting from the hulls primarily revealed Antikythera Elements. Salvaging operations resulted in mostly useless metal scraps but in one instance resulted in two more Elements.
It seems that they did not appreciate our snooping around the Jovian Observatory in the system nextdoor. We will keep you all updated as we discover more Just to confirm, they followed you from one system into another? Do you know if they used the jump gate, or crossed by other means?
Initial reports that I received Indicate that both the Artemis and Apollo class Drifter Battleships we engaged did indeed use the stargate to travel to the system we engaged them in which also had no Jove structure or unidentified wormhole.
Also to note , While it was not visually observed we also had a Squad of Seekers which were believe to have used the same stargate as the Drifters to enter system.

I posted a Theory in GD that includes that -- [Scope] Drifters vs Amarr - A Theory
As I say there, I figure that the Drifters are Awakened Sleepers resisting The Other who now has full control of The Construct.. The Jove didn't want or are unable to engage themselves, so shut down their own gate network to reduce their exposure. The Drifters then went to the Observation Network themselves (as it likely pre-dates their split from the Jove) in an effort to gain more information, both of the current state of the Empires, and of The Others pawns in New Eden ( namely Jamyl, and I believe the Sansha also..).. This also explains the additional activity in Amarr Space, and a story from early on in all these events, where the Sansha left an Incursion area by Gates rather than their WH's, combined with the Sansha Graveyard in the one of the new WH's.
At least that's my theory.. Explains why Drifters use some Sleeper tech, but yet are still different.. they are likely using something that pre-dates the final iteration of Drifter Tech that is connected to the Construct, or has been built since they awoke/escaped the Construct.. or even possibly given to them by the Jove before they shut themselves off. Also could explain that Huge ship we saw in the trailer, maybe the Jove gave them one of the 3 Titans to fight a war that the Jove themselves are in no condition to fight.
Though it's also possible that it was The Other that destroyed the star, and shut down the Jove gate network, in an effort to keep them out of the fight.. Sleeper tech is powerful, but probably hasn't progressed as far as the Jove have since they split, as Sleepers were in the Construct, where as the Jove were still in the physical world. |

Carthum ConglomerateGÇÖs recent release of the GÇÿEntosis LinkGÇÖ module enables pilots to interface with foreign objects via a novel method, ostensibly using ancient Jovian techniques and materials. The intended purpose of the foremost of these objects, the Antikythera Element, remains unclear. Despite this, we are now able to more reliably theorize on the mechanism of the Entosis Link, and the possible mechanism of the Antikythera Element.
First, let us review what we know. Refining the Entosis Link requires knowledge of electronic engineering, graviton physics, and Sleeper encryption methods. Operation of the module requires certification in infomorph psychology, a set of psychological training engrams that strengthen the pilot's mental tenacity, and are used to harden the pilot against the experience of having their mind transported across space. Lastly, the use of the Entosis Link is visibly similar to some of the scanning performed by Circadian Seekers and Vigilant Tyrannos pilots, and the target point is then surrounded by a filamentary structure very similar to a layer of the spatial distortion surrounding wormholes.
The Entosis Link is said to be using GÇÿancient Jovian techniquesGÇÖ but requires Sleeper encryption methods; this indicates that there are notable similarities between Sleeper technology and ancient Jove technology, assuming our information is correct. The nature of this similarity is unknown to us, though the autopsy teamGÇÖs verification of some Jove genetic markers in the Vigilant Tyrannos corpse implies that the Drifters have some Jovian connection, whether ancient, offshoot, or re-engineered modern Jove. This may also serve as confirmation that the Drifters are awakened Sleepers, or perhaps more accurately reanimated Sleepers, or else Jove inheritors of the Sleeper legacy, as indicated by some CONCORD profiles on the Tyrannos. This further ties with the cooperation between Circadian Seekers and Vigilant Tyrannos vessels, and the apparent decay on Vigilant Tyrannos ships along some parts of the superstructure.
The use of graviton physics and the appearance of spatial distortion are both significant. While most modern technology uses graviton physics either for kinetic penetration, propulsion, or warp suppression, these systems are by nature imprecise. It would appear that the Entosis Link uses gravitation-based spatial manipulation to interface with foreign systems, which implies a significant refinement of spatial manipulation technology, coupled with a phenomenal ability to detect changes in that system. The method by which this system works is as-yet unknown. It is possible that this is achieved by operating on spacetime within the target system to alter its action and thus simulate a connection, most likely by opening nanoscale wormholes between the target system and the Entosis Link, allowing for the creation of a wormhole-enabled GÇÿhard linkGÇÖ between the Capsuleer and the target system. The energy requirements for this would explain the extensive reactor and capacitor array needed for the range of the advanced technology version, as would the consumption of strontium clathrates; whatGÇÖs more, it would explain the loss of ability to warp, and the extreme difficulty in turning the system offline.
The simulated direct connection with a foreign system may also make clear why basic certification in infomorph psychology is required for Entosis Link use. By using the link for a pseudo-direct interface with a foreign system, as if the Capsuleer were physically connected to the system, he or she may achieve control in a way our current interface technology canGÇÖt possibly replicate, and override systems that lack adequate expert system defense, or donGÇÖt already have a Capsuleer integrated into the system. Those who have operated Entosis Links on a Jove Observatory can confirm that one retains control of oneGÇÖs vessel; one isnGÇÖt completely displaced.
We can only assume that the Antikythera Element is the core to this system, and possesses the novel apparatus that allows an Infomorph to be translated into a foreign system via spatial distortion. This displacement is presumably achieved by shunting an infomorph through the Element itself, though we obviously lack information on its mechanism and whether this mechanism is comparable to any known technology. We can only assume that as the elements are described as GÇÿa vital part of something much larger,GÇÖ assemblages or networks of Antikythera Elements may allow for the generation of larger spatial distortions, transmission or detection of data over greater distances, infiltration of systems at greater distances or of greater sophistication, or perhaps even the relocation of Infomorphs to compatible systems via Antikythera Elements employed as receivers.
Hopefully we will be able to further develop this technology, and reverse engineer the Jove systems underlying it.

Thank you, Captain Samenel; certainly a while coming.
That said, my theory on nano-scale wormhole use is a point of contention with Niko Zino. The alternative theory proposed-- of simple gravitational distortion serving as an alternative to EM interferometry --was viewed as too extremely powerful as well by Kybernetes Moros.
The unfortunate truth here is that we're left with relatively limited data, and to me at least the above seems the most likely solution given our limited data.
I do hope Carthum Conglomerate, Imperial Armaments, or Lai Dai will be able to provide for a greater release of data in the near future.

Interesting points to note, after some additional observation: the origin point of an Entosis Link appears to be a directional wormhole filament distortion, moving at a far faster rate than the standard filament. I'd contend that this reinforces the theory of paired topological defects. Further, while uncommon, the ability to transport Antikythera Elements from the Jove Observatory onto our ships indicates some novel transport technology-- which may mean that the Entosis Link's receiving wormhole may be mobile and larger than anticipated, or that something about the Observatory-side AKE allows it to expand or traverse wormholes that are otherwise unnavigable.
An object that occupies .1 m^3 is obviously not nanoscale, after all.
Additionally, pilots, we still need access to the following classes of Sleeper facility for testing: The Mirror Integrated Terminus Silent Battlefield Oruze Osobnyk Strange Energy Reading

Also, avoid stiff drinks. Seriously.
While I lack predictable/regular access to wormhole space, I'll try poking other objects with an E-Link.
Speaking of... has anyone tried linking to another capsuleer vessel with an Entosis Link?

These Entosis Links work by projecting the user's consciousness into the Observatory so they can poke around for data.
It essentially makes us AIs, for a moment. And it appears that they only work on Jovian Structures. We should try and find something else that is Jovian, perhaps it will work on that. |

An update. An associate was guided into a Sansha-captured wormhole system by Rhavas; the Entosis Link failed to allow us control or even access to any of the Sansha control structures at the system epicenter.

The Gnosis and the Apotheosis might be good candidates to try. However, I suspect they won't since it is not pure Jovian being part of Society of Conscious Thought.
Obviously we need to change this though more thorough R&D. Who knows what further uses we will garner from it with dedicated and applied research. |

Indeed. Based on my theory, I doubt that we will find much that will be accesable by Entosis Links due to the length of time in which these Observatories have been deployed. As tech changes, so does what will work on it. There will most likely be nothing that will be accesable by Entosis Links, unless we can find something from around the same time in which these Observatories were made, and made by Jovians.
However, I may be wrong. |

Here is what I've gathered thus far can be found at this pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/CC0KtaAF
I also took the liberty of putting them in some form of chronological order in case it could be decyphered that way, if that's not the case, then ignore it, in any case here's the pastebin link to that: http://pastebin.com/vWsGVNzw
Note: I managed to sit at an observatory for almost an hour and a half to pull eight (8) pieces of paper and I believe I have also mapped out the seeker's pattern as well. If a ship comes within (roughly) 20-30km of the observatory, a group of 4 seekers will warp in at the celestial beacon, they do have full capability to lock your ship and fire immediately after warping in. After a certain amount of time they will warp out and warp back in to re-aggro. This seems to be case if there aren't Drifters in the system at the time, if there are Drifters in the system, and they are at the Observatory, you can still get a cycle (but only a single cycle) out of it, at certain points they warp off for about 5 minutes, which is a single tech 1 cycle. This gives you a fraction of amount of time to get the info. Secondly, I'd advise using a covert ops ship.
In case anyone wants to copy my method, I fit a tengu with covert ops and 4 ECM jammers as well as shield booster and hardener. As long as you can tank them until they get in close enough for the ECM to be effective, you can pretty much sit there for hours harvesting the information.
Also if anyone sees a lapse in my tactic, please feel free to say so. |

Carlines star? If that explosion "shut down" the jove and if the observatories relied on jove tech located in jove space.... Then RIP cloaking systems?
Using isogen 5 also explains the explosion to begin with and accounts for shattered WHs (untill strait forward proof otherwise i think shattered WHs are Jove space since jove station are located inside, but thats off topic kinda.)
Has anyone created a in-game channel for Lore seekers or something of the liking? Hell, a mailing list admined by people knowledgeable on eve lore sending out updates and tasks and such would be some coordination that might speed things up by putting everyone on the same page.
