I love that CIG is putting in these paranormal/mystery stories in lore

[@witchdoctor6502]

I hope these stories will have some new findings available, but ultimately will never be solved.

[@Orphican]

I hope CIG gives us the chance to solve them!

[@doraxil]

Yeah I would really love to find the lost RSI Zeus Mk.I Like you would use Galactepedia for some info and maybe catch some easter eggs and puzzles etc. if you actually read the lore. And for further info maybe we could buy from someone or steal from someone I don't know. But it should be really hard to achive and rewarding. I dont know how but just an idea. Same thing for other lores too, not just for Zeus Mk.I

[@JustaThing]

I think Murray worked for another company and was hired only a few weeks before the flight, Sabotaged the flight, and didn't bring the flair gun because there was a pre destined site to meet up at, where he got in a small ship (Maybe a single seater) and ditched his suit from the cockpit. Maybe the 10 extra rations were unnecessary for the last leg of the journey so he dropped them to reduce his load. I mean, how else did a new hire pilot get into the program for a really important test flight?

[@JustaThing]

Sadly I'm six days late but I'd like to hear others opinions on this theory

[@jedi_drifter2988]

I would love some of these mysteries, have the opportunity to be solved by players, as well as more be created as never ending investigation and archeological game play for exploration .

[@Hourglass_Mage]

Great video! More spooky stories are definitely needed.

[@therealdontclickme]

Really wish they would show a crashed Zeus somewhere in Staunton

[@shauntayers]

Hey Paul, the music from the beginning until around 1:29 in, is from a composer named Scott Buckley. The song is called Signal to Noise. Just a heads up!

[@Tyindel]

really hope that things like this get put into the game so that explorers can work out these mysteries and solve them when we get that side of gameplay added. Would be really cool to find out what happened to the C6 and solve this spooky mistery

[@empath69]

Firstly, excellent video shining a light on the enigma that CIG is for us to discover - thank you for piquing many people's interest! Secondly, looking at the details that were gradually unearthed, I feel an important question that investigators must keep in mind is "Qui Bono?" or 'who benefits'? Given the the C6 hadn't hard landed, doing enough damage to kill the crew (and leaving remains in the cockpit), but was brought down to enable crew survival, and for same to pack up and set off from the crash site, brings up the possibility of sabotage. Which then leads to the question: "who would benefit from the loss of this ship, it's experimental comms system and/or the veteran test crew?" Was there a rival to RSI that was struggling and needed the dominant company in the field to falter - even briefly - to permit their own survival? Could there just have been a stock speculator (was RSI a publicly-traded company at the time?) that wished to pull off a 'short' and was willing to have people die to accomplish that? For example, one possible hypothesis is: the outside actor suborns...*rolls die* the Pilot through bribery/blackmail/seduction/coercion/etc. into making the test flight a failure and ruining the test vessel. When the captain passes over control to the pilot as they pass into the moon's dark side, they allow the ship to be affected by an ice storm and 'underperforms' (i.e. was capable of recovering the vessel and taking it clear, but responds slowly and 'makes mistakes' etc) so the ship has to make a crash landing. One of the other two crew suffers an injury like a compound fracture in the arm that requires immediate treatment, so the other two are busy with that while the pilot dons a suit, yanks the black box (telemetry is proof that they've done what was asked of them) and the bulk of the survival rations, and leaves the ship, to walk to a prearranged pick-up further into the dark side, away from prying eyes. Once the injury has been treated, the captain & engineer asses things, realize the ship isn't flight worthy, and also that there's not sufficient rations left to survive even if a distress call reaches help. Distracted by the circumstances (injured is either in pain or dulled by medication) of the betrayal, they suit up to pursue the pilot. Travelling slower due to the injury, they fall behind enough that the pilot is safely clear of an ice earthquake that kills both of them, leaving their bodies in an as-yet undiscovered resting place between the crash and the 'pick-up' point. The pilot makes their rendezvous, drops the excess rations, removes the bulky suit in the airlock due to limited space in the small, hard-to-detect ship used to recover them, and it's jettisoned and lads on the ice as the ship leaves. Again, this is only one possible interpretation of the evidence presented; perhaps more details may come to light in time that narrow the possibilities more...and maybe it will be players that bring us those details...

[@davidhonnay1540]

Very interesting theory !!

[@T3hBr0k3nM0nk3y]

Yup... lookin' forward to that mystery gettin' solved! Well done, Paul! 😉👍

[@Xeemix]

I would actually love if we could get old ships like this and modernize em!

[@luke5g230]

This is so awesome I just really hope that we can stumble apon stories like these and investigate to find more clues and possibly answers to some of these cool stories

[@juustem134]

Thanks for this story and great background music!

[@fnunez]

Some cool Dyatlov Pass mystery vibes, very cool.

[@saosaoldian6742]

Kudos to your editor…oh and you did good too Paul.

[@TheAstroHistorian]

For this episode I am both

[@Bell_the_Cat]

Very nicely produced. Love the effects and mood of the whole piece. Excellent content!

[@Fractal379]

Been waiting to hear about the Zeus - thanks.

[@lavallion7471]

yeah that's defnitely going to be an investigation mission in a few years :p

[@tequila6955]

Great lore. Have you ever thought of doing a story time, narrating SC fan written short storie?

[@imitheus]

fantastic episode Paul. great stuff!

[@Pizzarolles_.]

i really hope we can find the crashed ship later ingame

[@nazgul9709]

Great stuff 🤘

[@flipnospan7808]

Awesome job!

[@AceTycho]

Good one!

[@crystallkingh3048]

Human foot! :)

[@mattiber2558]

May CIG NEVER build a Z 6 for sale in/out the Verse, but the recovered Z 6 showing up at Invictus, IAE, or Anniversay of Z 6 discovery with the old design inside making Drake a "luxury" ship would be cool!

[@lqg4395]

This reminds me of Dyatlov Pass.

[@MadhatterMike42]

Really hope they lay some clues and/or the crash site in the PU

[@Bell_the_Cat]

Was confused by the cc provided by YT, which pronounced it Levitus.

[@Fumblez.retro.hunter]

I hope they add this ship in game somehow

[@ParanoidCarrot]

oohh i love thiss

[@endsinvention1390]

I am pretty sure the crews captain crash to desktop and then the other two landed on the planet in one of them fell through it and the other one alt F4ed after walking 300 km

[@Dirigius]

Good stuff! Please consider episodes in the aural style of Rod Serling, Alfred Hitchcock, and Vincent Price.

[@naemek9675]

ALIENS!!!

[@ChanTheman-fe3wf]

Can you still get this suit as of Nov 2023?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Yes
