There are plenty of out-of-game reasons behind the meaning of 514, the Chinese numbers, Biblical texts etc. I am more interested about the lore reason.

It is correct that the first generation clones were writing and seeing 514 all over the place, why did they do it? Their implants were directly extracted from dead Sleepers, so there must have been some kind of incompatability error. Or perhaps it was Sleepers directly influencing their brains, trying to tell them something, a final piece of the puzzle. What puzzle? Perhaps it has something to do directly involving the fact why all Sleepers are extinct and living in a virtual reality. What does the number 514 have to do with it then? It could be part of a mathematical equation, it could be a code, it could be a cipher which we need to decipher to find the meaning. We don't know.

Thete's a lot of questions, but little to no answers. CCP isn't going to help us a lot either. They say they have left clues around, enough for us to figure out the puzzle. When we solve the puzzle that is 514 and Sleepers, the whole story should be revealed. There even was an initiative dedicated to only researching wormholes and the Sleeper sites found within them in EVE, it has dwindled away since then though. I would have loved to be a part of it.

Luna Angelo We Who Walk Alone 343	Posted - 2013.12.07 08:18:00 - [20] - Quote There was a theory in one of the books (Templar 1? Can't remember.) that the Sleepers weren't "asleep", as in, dead, and were using these numbers, 514, to communicate with the Clones. That's where the Templar Hunt and other stuff comes in, btw. Dust is, of course, used in the death thing. Sleepers are human, sort of, just like the Jove are sort of human. Sleepers are probably Terrans that tried to keep themselves alive with the tech from Earth. That's the theory, anyways. And only the "crazy" believe it. Or those who learned the truth (Gen.1).

CONCORD has more power and autonomy, the UN does not. The reason it's called Dust is because of an "ancient Terran saying". At least, that's the theory in the books.
