Mystery Request - 5th November 3302 - 16.05 UTC

In November last year, a mysterious organisation known as Revolution Incorporated placed an open order for explosives in commemoration of the Gunpowder Plot – a historic incident dating from Earth’s distant past.

The request attracted the attention of security officials who feared it might presage a terrorist attack, but ultimately no such attack took place. It is now believed that if the group did have nefarious intent, its plans were foiled.

But despite this apparent setback, the organisation itself has endured, having issued the following message to media outlets and social networks throughout the galaxy:

“Last time, they stopped us. This time, they will not. The powers-that-be must accept their fate, and pay the price for their misdeeds.”

“They will be taught a lesson in power – the power of the people.”

“If you are a true believer, be at the following location at 16.05 UTC on the 5th of November 3302.”

“Novas A 6, Novas system.”

Security forces in the Novas system have urged the public to ignore the message.

(CMDR Peregrinus19 UTC DTG = 18:20 04NOV notes... )
Notes:
- Nothing in the CG will require you to be in Open - all modes of play will be viable.
- Also, the time stated is just the start, if you can't be there then you won't be excluded from anything that follows, you just won't be there at the beginning ...

Any speculations of what is going to happen? Aliens? Explosion? Nothing?

Novas system distance to Sol: 130.57 ly, so it's inside the bubble and not that far away.

Novas A 6 is an Earth Like World, so no landing on there.
There is an Empire controlled station with L pads orbiting it called "Porges Ring", arrival point 485.57 ls.


Only a few hours to go, I think I just might go there and see what's up. Only thing that is a bit unclear to me is that should I be at around the station or the planet. The text does not say anything about the station so I'm guessing somewhere around the planet.

If someone has more information, please do share :)

My hunch would be a fireworks display.

There is an "Unregistered Comms Beacon" in orbit too, with 13 pilots around it at the moment.
Of course it's only a target dummy for some.. but most just hang around. Also there were plenty of commanders elsewhere in the system.
Still room for more, half an hour to go before something happens. If something happens. :)

Maybe the beacon starts trasmitting Saturday night live with Jay Leno :P

It's just someone listing numbers with a very similar voice than the science guy in Turjan's Travels.

I really was hoping for something to happen, I'm not smart enough for these number games :(

No doubt someone from Canonn will figure it out.

May be something to do with the ruins.

Reading on the next page of the thread, the clue led to a CG in the Elli system. But its not showing up on the missions board for me so its either secret or bugged.
If you go to the system map (via the gal map) the station does have the CG star on it.

Don't know if it's a bug or working as intended, but the CG star for this particular CG is only visible in the system map, not in the galaxy map. And you can only get the mission by going to that station in the Elli system and looking at mission board in there.
