Galnet News Special: The Arissa File (Elite Dangerous)

[@michaelashman6035]

I've been playing for years, been so busy grinding I never got into any role playing, this is fun, I think Galnet is very important to this game, keep up the great work guys.

[@whendarknessfalls6969]

I normally play a few as im docked

What makes Blaine even more suspicious is that when the 15th emperor, Hengist, was in a coma, Blaine served as regent, meaning he ruled as Emperor without actually having the title. During this time, Blaine often interfered with attempts to check on the Emperor's health and condition, leading to conspiracy theories that he was intentionally keeping the Emperor comatose without killing him so that he could rule the Empire in his place. And now that he's chancellor to Arissa, Blaine has been issuing a lot of statements on her behalf and even attended the Galactic Summit in her place. This seems an awful lot like what happened with her father.

All 3 superpowers have major disputes among them and there is a guy who has a plan for thargoids that nobody knows what it is and what might be the thargoids' response. What a time to be alive

[@Cohen.the.Worrier]

We live in interesting times indeed.

Thank goodness they're not using disease to control the population.

@@novamccool2622 fuck off to the comments section of a covid video, this is a video game.

Blaine sus.

[@VerticalBlank]

Very insightful summary. A bit of uncharacteristic "tizz" on CMDR Wotherspoon's comms; might be worth cooking then venting the ship in case of any trumbles chewing on the cables.

[@GalnetDigest]

Thank you! I think the "tiss" is quantisation noise. I need to work out a way of boosting the analogue signal without overloading the M-Audio preamp.

[@maykstuff]

@@GalnetDigest what kind of recording setup are you using? Happy to offer any help or advice that could help!

[@SuperDoodler101]

Hearing that Arissa was in summerland makes me wanna point fingers at Denton

[@MaximusLight]

Crack theory: The Empress is the Witch and this has been a cover for her to take up more work on the Thargoids with Salvation

[@redacted5934]

I would love frontier if this was the case

[@GalnetDigest]

That would be impressive if it turned out to be true!

[@FlyingMonkeyDeathGod]

You've got it backwards! The Witch has identified Arissa as the ideal subject to command a Thargoid/Human Hybrid Interceptor and negotiate with the Thargoids, the other Duvals are being targeted to provide backups!

[@TV22011980]

1:18 Wait... I thought they called themselves the "Lords of Restoration"? oO

[@cataposs]

Same, restoration as in restoring the republic of achenar

[@BeetleJude]

Oh that's me failing to read! Doh. Pretend I got it right! 😅

[@Timberwolf69]

@@BeetleJude Well, it isn't completely wrong. Reclaiming the Empire for the Republic... 😉

[@SWIFTO_SCYTHE]

I think its Denton Patreus. He would make a fine Emperor. He does have the military might.

[@Hells.Chief.Executive]

Let's hope that we can bring our Emporer home. Long may she reign, bask in her glory.

[@stevenboughner7255]

Was thinking this episode should involve the players.

[@theguylevi]

Marlinism isn't the issue...its a shame the NMLA has to ruin an entire ideal for recent generations.

[@ratsofftoya]

Hadrian's behind it all!

[@ModeKaioken]

I bet when she returned she was a thargoid clone after all and the witch took her to try and make her thargoid human pilots work.

[@daemonbreath]

I'm confused would it not make her an Empress?

[@TsugaCanadensis1979]

Where does this story meander to next?

[@davidlabedz2046]

Imperial intrigue, while interesting from some POV, it's not of great concern outside the empire.

[@anonemus2971]

Not hard to be successful when you build an Empie with slave labor
