Well, that was pretty ******* chilling. Good to see the Chronicles are keeping the same standard of excellence as always. |

Interesting... "514" relates to Sleepers. Makes sense. :) |

Maybe the mercs are Sleepers? I mean with the lore about our (physical) size and reputation and everything it would link well.
Also what faction you are in atm has no relevance post release, they are for server reasons. |

We are clean tech developed by Mordu's Legion, The Gallente federation, and Ishukone. We are currently being field tested by Mordu's Legion, thus the name of the beta is "Mordu's Private Trials". At least that's what Templar One would have me believe. Jacus should actually already know about the problems with sleeper tech, but maybe he is putting on a front to protect his trials, or they could be doing some minor tweaks to the story to be more in line with what they plan for the future.
Glad to see some set up for the gravity of Dust 514 and how it will shake the very core of EVE. When the sleepers or The Other come we are in for a fight. |

I don't know... for some reason it reminds me of the Zerg (Starcraft) with their mind control abilities, or the Flood (Halo) with their intrusive, corrupting, invasion plan.
The only real difference in concept I see... is that itGÇÖs not biological as the two aforementioned but technological, it is the same kind of "shadowed corruption" vein, all too "popular" as of late ( even World of Warcraft has this deep-set within its lore).
But meh.. it might turn out better than I'm thinking.

so, uh
can we get some minor horror elements in game as hints towards possible future content? like, every now and then, 514 will appear on the displays in the merc quarters. perhaps slightly mis-aligned so it doesn't look quite right among the sterile text. |

I was excited for a moment at the thought of being able to shout "HERETICAL SLEEPER SCUM!!!!" and then taking advantage of friendly fire, but if the Amarr have 'clean' tech...well it's redundant to shout at heretical xeno non-Amar for being heretical you know?
Also the prose was OK. I wasn't super impressed but it was OK; there's only so much you can do with a single passage after all.
I think I'll like the inevitable Friendly Sleeper/Marine//Passive both//Normal Sleeper/Vengeful Marine hybrid story better. You know, the part where they use a space marine guy to convey their message of war-doom/peace-friends. Or a story where the curious Sleeper and obliging Marine travel the stars and have a typical fun-time adventure story. And then they meet a playful rogue drone and a pirate capsuleer (Love Interest???  ), and they find a cool space relic! |

maybe we can get super strong sleep tech drop suits one day. But the drawback is every once in a while you have a mental break down and have to find cover for 10 seconds while you lose control of your character.

I might need a refresher from Templar One, but do the Amarr have a different clean tech from Mordu?
Furthermore, am I the only one that read Heth is now dead? Perhaps it was all a coup to get Mens Reppola in power as an empyrean takeover of the entire political system. |

An interesting take. From the Chronicle though, my understanding was that Jamyl has developed the clean tech, perhaps to overcome her own guilt at what she has done to the Sleepers. While acting due to her own dark influence, presumably she feels like the initial salvaged tech was a huge mistake (since she ordered for it all to be shut down) and now seeks to redeem herself, or at least absolve herself of the shame.
While Mordu's Trials came about as a result of the chip that was recovered at the end of Templar One, I was never one hundred percent sure that the tech developed as a result by Mordu, the Gallente and Ishukone was necessarily a clean version. Presumably there were attempts at reverse engineering, but I feel that this would have still resulted in developing an understanding of the same processes that Jamyl had at her disposal before she ordered it to be shut down. That is, they'd also need to recover the chips still from Sleeper sites, but they now also had the tech to use them.
My feeling is that Mordu's Trials are using recovered technology, this Chronicle takes place in a time before Dust 514 comes out of beta, and the multitude starts to descend - and clean tech (a nice shiny release version of Dust 514 in parallel) means a more widespread use of the technology.
All in all, I'd love for "unclean" tech to be in the heads of anyone who participated in Mordu's Trials. Newcomers to Dust 514 will encounter beta testers who have an enormous headstart if they get to transfer their SP, but at the disadvantage that we get the completely random chance to go completely nuts and start screaming some alien obscenities, while we lose control of our thrashing, foaming toon, giving a noob with clean tech a window to overcome the impossible. Encourages testers to create new clean characters as well, free of the possible psychotic episode a carry-over from beta might randomly (and very infrequently) experience.....

Is this going to tie into the PvE modes? I'd like to see corps uncovering valuable Sleeper tech blueprints, while a Dust team has to protect the archeological site from waves of Sleeper drones. (The longer you survive, the better your odds are for discovering more valuable tech.) |

good chronicle, suggests lots, confirms nothing. Leaves a huge scope for development.
Not sure of the need for a seperate development of infantry tech, when it could have developed directly from the egger tech i.e.infomorph psychology (a skill in Eve allowing pilots to have multiple clones)
I was rather bemused by the fact that they consider the several million eggers a problem by virtue of the fact of thier immortality. And their solution make a bunch of immortal ground troops, take and hold planets only going to need several billion troops for that. 
Nice to know we are still fundementally human in the far future.
