    I was on a planet that had a large presence of Agarans living on it. (-8572280, -3923842)[​IMG]
    The errors in the universal translator are considerable, it was barely enough to give me the understanding that these were friendly, and that I was a meat person.

    It is quite possible however that the Agarans know language, or at least have slang, that caters to a understood language, like the Engrish of the Japanese Moe period. It should be known that despite their main food being carrion, Agarans are not adept at killing things, I hypothesize it has to do with their poor eyesight and lack of sensitivity to pain, as they continually spend time below ground.

    [​IMG]
    What Is of most particular interest, however, was when I stayed over for the night in a particular abode. I was playing with their "dog", who seemed to react a lot like our cats to flashlights. It was then on further inspection I found they weren't actually canines. the teeth, their muteness,(possibly bred into them), the serpent like tongue, their reactions to artificial light...the differences are subtle, but damning. This is a completely alien creature unrelated to wolves and dogs. However, these are nonetheless domesticated by the Agarans, and are very welcoming to guests.

    Hey everyone,
    I'm working on an exposé on the Agarans. Included below is a very small sample of the source information I've gathered.

    This is one of the logfiles I recovered from The Restless Sparrow, an Avian ship whose crew participated in an unauthorized excursion onto an Avian tomb-ship. This logfile excerpt in particular is from the external door and airlock system.

    Code:
    [log>doors]
    
    > Docking sequence initiated. (partner: "unknown", missing from ship database)
    > Docking sequence successful.
    > Checking internal pressure of "unknown"...
    > ...
    > Internal pressure check successful.
    > Pressure difference nominal.
    > Preparing airlock. (occupants: 4)
    > Airlock occupants transferred to "unknown".
    > ...
    > Crew returning.
    > Preparing airlock. (occupants: 5)
    > Airlock occupants transferred to "The Restless Sparrow".
    > ...
    > Going to sleep.

    "Unknown" was infected like allien movies.

    So Agarans are actually Thornwing's fault?

    Wait... how did you obtain access to that ship?

    Where did you see anything about Thornwing?

    Hmmmm Agarans inside of a Tombship. Sounds like the Flood more and more

    Potential origins from Avian location
    Thornwing - first person to intercept communication and seemed rather pleased by the info

    Postulation...

    It's a bit of a leap to assume it's thornwing. Plus if it was him, he wouldn't have left any traces.

    Except for you know all that stuff referring to Thornwing specifically.

    There's nothing about Thornwing in the excerpt Mc Vicar posted. Stop bringing in meta knowledge into this

    Just gonna go ahead and quote this.

    You clearly miss the point of this thread completely. This thread is about information YOUR character would come across. Not something brought up on the forum. You post things as your character finds them. That's the point. Theory crafting can stay in the Agaran menace thread but here you post stuff like Mc Vicar or screenshots with the description of your experience AS A CHARACTER at that time. That's what Mc Vicar wants, first hand accounts and logs. Not Apologistic or accusing propaganda.

    And it's like you absolutely didn't read that post as it clearly addresses that point and makes a rather apt summary of the issue.

    THERE'S NOTHING NEW TO EXPERIENCE UNTIL WE GET AN UPDATE WITH MORE STRUCTURES SO WE'RE ESSENTIALLY BEATING A DEAD HORSE

    CLEARLY THAT IS NOT THE CASE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE POST ANYWAY LIKE THE POST BEFORE THIS POINTLESS DEBATE EVEN STARTED. Now if you want theory crafting stay out of this thread. End of story Why is it
    that its always Agaran sympathizers that derail this thread?


    Mc Vicar was right.

    You should not be concerned with these peaceful creatures. I touched one the other day and felt a wonderful sensation that cannot be put into words.
