Lepeightl Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Found the artifact texts: Spoiler AMELIASWATCH Wrist Watch It was discovered in a package labeled "To be entrusted to Dr. Walker". Bioluminescent Rock A thriving colony of tiny, microscopic organisms is responsible for giving it its bluish glow. Blender Equipment used to conduct experiments answering the age-old question, "Could that blend"? BRICKPHONE Strange Brick It still works. DNAMODEL Double Helix Model An educational model of genetic information. Egg-Shaped Rock It's unclear whether this is its naturally occurring shape, or if its appearance as been sculpted. Pristine Fossil The preserved bones of an early species of Hatch. Magma Lamp The sequel to "Lava Lamp". Modern Art I don't get it. Moldavite A unique green stone formed from the impact of a meteorite. Moonmoonmoon A moon's moon's moon. It's very small. Small Obelisk A rectangular stone piece. Its function is unclear. Office Mug An intermediary place to store espresso before you move it to your mouth. OKAYXRAY Old X-Ray Ew, weird. It has five fingers! Percolator Don't drink from it! There was a pacu... IN the percolator! Plasma Lamp No space colony is complete without one. Egg-Shaped Rock It's unclear whether this is its naturally occurring shape, or if its appearance as been sculpted.\n\nThis one is rainbow coloured. Robot Arm It's not functional. Just cool. Tornado Rock It's unclear how it formed, although I'm glad it did. Rubik's Cube This mystery of the universe has already been solved. Sandstone A beautiful rock composed of multiple layers of sediment. Mangled Saxophone The name "Pesquet" is barely legible on the inside. Shield Generator A mechanical prototype capable of producing a small section of shielding. Sink No collection is complete without it. Self-Contained System A marvel of the cosmos, inside this display is an entirely self-contained solar system. Stethoscope Listens to Duplicant heartbeats, or gurgley tummies. Encrusted Teapot A teapot from the depths of space, coated in a thick layer of Neutronium. VHS Archaic Tech Be kind when you handle it. It's very fragile. Fun fact: Apparently, there's something called "Amelia Stern Syndrome": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1745922 Makes it even more likely that Amelia is really Jackie's middle name. There's not really much else to be found about this syndrome, though... Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Pesquet Not sure whether Pesquet is a new employee or not... according to the article, he really played the saxophone. I added the name to my list nonetheless. I also updated my monster-txt. I'm thinking about reactivating my rusty LaTeX-skills and turning that thing into a pdf. It's getting kinda huge and hard to find stuff... Also, numbers from A0-A9 and B1-B8 have been added to the lore entries. I think the lore unlocking system will get an overhaul before the release. Surprisingly, also the lore entries in my category "Old, not used" got numbers, so they might still get implemented, after all. lore_entries.txt 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but isn't the purpose of studies and research to NOT bring emotion/bias into it? Also having a small sample size/cherry picking your subjects is also kinda the EXACT opposite of what scientists are supposed to do. I was actually just hoping that somebody already heard/read about this and had something to contribute. I'm not entirely sure how much this fits, either. We're neither talking about a physician, nor about a woman with a family (at least I'd guess so). However, if the whole 'Let's-colonize-a-planet-duh'-thing was really a rescue mission, and Gravitas Facility was thereby far more than a money-making business, the situation might not be unsimilar to that of a physician, as you deciding to go home early might cause people to die early. This might've caused her to keep pushing herself and everybody else to their limits, instead of, y'know, enjoying that little time they had left. Would you mind telling me where you found those sources...? Abstracts don't directly cite any resources. Never ever. The only indirect 'resource' I can find is that novel (Perri Klass, Other Women's Children). Well, basically you're right about that bias-thingy. However, having your assessment being influenced by your emotions and trying to assess emotions with valid scientific methods as a part of a psychological study are two completely different things. I was able to download the whole paper via an university server. The author reported that things like suicide rates, alcoholism, anxiety etc. pp. have been measured. But I image that this doesn't help you a whole lot if you are a clinical psychiatrist and have to understand your patients' problem based on stuff like some autobiographic information and, well, their emotions. "Don't worry, only xx.x% of women with an economic and social situation similar to yours try to attempt suicide. You'll be fine!" This is where a novel like this seems to be pretty helpful as a first step to develop a deeper understanding. I'm not trying to prove anything here. It's basically impossible, the only thing that can do that are further lore entries. However, there's absolutely nothing scientific about a theorizing thread, so it doesn't really matter, anyway. I'm just having fun~ So, you're absolutely correct if you wanted to say that this is no proof that Amelia is Jackie's middle name. The fact that a novel with a possible namesake exists with a situation that may or may be not applicable to the lore could still be pure coincidence. However, if it isn't, it would totally make my day. For now, it's just a nice little anecdote, as we already know that some names are based on real scientists or scientific theories (Maxwell *cough*, Marie Sklowdoska *cough cough*, Nikola Techna). Amelia could still be Mae... I think? Would that be a plausible nickname? I also pondered Jackie being Mae because of this. At least the personality description would fit, Jackie seems to be filled with determination. However, this admittedly seems a little far-fetched... 18 hours ago, watermelen671 said: In fact it's worded so confusingly that I had to re-read it several times over and I'm still confused. Oh, and, uhm... at that level of scientific literature, that's completely normal. I'm sorry that I caused some confusion. I usually think a lot more about these things than I write down in the end, because I feel like most people don't care much about large texts. Should I change that...?
