Your questions are valid. Therefore, they deserve answers.
First question was about our true intentions regarding our interests with the research on the Talocans.
Our true intentions are genuinely scientific, in the sense that we expect to achieve a higher level of understanding around Talocan history, Talocan technology, their interactions with other races (if they happened) and how those interactions influenced the appearance and development of other races such as ours.
It is true that DuPont Enterprises follows a capitalist corporation model where our shareholders expect returns in the form of dividends based on the money theyGÇÖve brought into this corporation and the risk they are taking with DUPOGÇÖs activities. This by no means forces us to act to focus only on immediate money making. Following many other corporationsGÇÖ example of creating foundations and non-profit organizations, we can use part of our surplus to fund whatever activity we feel that can be of service to our community. And what is best than to research something that can bring better understanding of our origins?
To add into this, one should not be afraid of what we can do by eventually getting our hands on Talocan technology that can be of use to militaristic ends. Capsuleers all over the place have already been able to indiscriminately use Talocan technology to help with the construction of better modules. In case you donGÇÖt know, the following modules use Talocan technology on their manufacture: Heavy 'Brave' Capacitor Booster I, Cactus Kinetic Deflection Amplifier, 'Dyad' Co-Processor I, 'Desert Heat' Heat Dissipation Field, Medium 'Gattotte' Capacitor Booster, 'Glycerine' Shield Boost Amplifier, High Noon Heat Dissipation Amplifier, Nugget Ballistic Deflection Field, Poacher Photon Scattering Field, Posse Invulnerability Field, Prospector Magnetic Scattering Amplifier, Large 'Sheriff' Shield Extender, Small 'Siesta' Capacitor Booster, Snake Eyes Explosion Dampening Field, Whiskey Explosion Dampening Field.
Should DuPont Enterprises develop anything different than that it would by no means do different than what many others have done so far in New Eden.
Second question was related to what kinds of data weGÇÖve got so far.
We are pretty much in the very beginning of our research, as DuPont has just recently accessed a Class 5 Anoikis system in order to build infrastructure and start operations. Our initial driver to move into this system had obviously no direct correlation with the Talocan remnants we can find on those areas, as you can see through our public military data for last two months.

DuPont, alongside with the alliance itGÇÖs working with, have engaged different forces that either tried or could try to exploit our boundaries in order to fight for our resources. DuPont is also conducting manufacturing of materials that in surplus are sold in Empire (most of the times in Jita or Dodixie) and helping to extract SleeperGÇÖs technology to the same end, as most capsuleers already do all over New Eden. If you fly a Tech 3 Cruiser, you are using Sleeper technology, and there are countless of Tech 3 Cruisers either flying or being built in New Eden as IGÇÖm writing this message.
Talocan research is evidently a different thing of what weGÇÖve done so far. And weGÇÖll follow a different way of reasoning from what people have done until now.
Just to give you a preliminary idea, all of the initial research started by an AI we developed and that is running on our mainframes, in a tower, at that very system. WeGÇÖve just given to this AI a first set of assumptions and the AI will try to achieve different assumptions based on whatever material and data we collect. Yesterday, a group of 18 scientists have moved there, alongside with other kinds of personnel, and those scientists will work with this AI in order to achieve better conclusions. I think itGÇÖs better to avoid giving you the first conclusions this AI had and the distribution of probabilities it is working with for different assumptions, but one I enjoyed the most is that Talocans were SleeperGÇÖs allies, not enemies, what could explain many things.
We will be supplying the community when we get a full set of assumptions, theories and conclusions regarding the Talocans, not restricted to ArekGÇÖJaalan coordinators, but we are open to work with ArekGÇÖJaalan personnel too both on TH ant TT departments if it is of their desire. I think New Eden deserves better explanation regarding all aspects of our origins and as the Founder and CEO of this corporation, IGÇÖm happy and confident that we will serve for that end. |
