I would go as far as saying that the different sizes are... perspective.

This got me to thinking.

Remember way back when Umbranoids used to drop the Daggers of Doom and Despair?

Here is a description of the D Series daggers:

The Red "D"-series of daggers is a rare occurrence on Calypso. Nobody seems to know where they originate from, and their design suggest other than human development. The name of the dagger is seen in the blade from time to time and some even claim they blade speak to them in certain circumstances. Some scientists believe the daggers are of alien origin, and that they indicate that a people other than humans inhabited Calypso sometime in the past. The Federal Empire rigorously counters any such statement as "utter nonsense" though.

Maybe the orbs are this alien race coming back to inhabit Calypso. It would seem maybe the Umbranoids had some contact with this race and maybe why they were in possession of these daggers.

"The name of the dagger is seen in the blade from time to time and some even claim they blade speak to them in certain circumstances."

Has anyone noticed any changes in their "D" series daggers?

Even the Umbranoid description sort of makes them out to be Shadow beings.

Name Meaning: Umbranoid - Humanoid is used to describe beings with similar built/anatomy to humans , but these are something like shadows/ghosts of the humans they once were. "umbra" means "shade, shadow, ghost, semblance" in latin.

Old mutant designs show them being more advanced too.

I guess this could really turn into the "Umbra Conspiracy" if that is where the Orb event is headed.

I think the original inhabitants of Calypso want it back. Maybe the Umbranoids that were scattered around Calypso were those that got left behind in some mass Exodus and now their ancient ancestors have returned and rescued them and intend to purge us from Calypso. Maybe the Umbranoids were not mutated humans after all but some other mutated alien species closely resembling humans. ooooo the possibilities MA could go with this.

I still hope that the orbs will show as a new kind of beacons, where we hunt Umbra's instead of drióids.

the seven red things on the bottom look like bombs/rockets to me =x

After hearing about the piece I went to twin and managed to loot one to see for myself. Upon looking at it first thing I noticed was actually not so much the orb or the argo looking things.. it was the red scribbles at the sides... Call me crazy but could they be a message too? Could it be in CHINESE???? Anyone who can read chinese perhaps can help translate... Just a theory

...from what i gather from the painting i think the open mouths running on bottom of painting are argonaughts running from the orbs. It is possible that the argos had a war with the umbras and that maybe the black orbs were their ships or something because of the naught part in argonaught if anyone could go translate that word for me just connecting astronaught cosmonaught...etc. naught= explore? anyway yes i think there was a war and the argos spawn at the orbs because they trying to get off planet? they know what happened to the umbras and they dont wanna be around to find out '0'!

Have someone repaired it? Does any new information appear? I repaired logs, but no difference...

[Jack NightHawk]

obviously the picture shows the monsters under the pillers of fire, something like that was mentioned/translated from girl (npc) i believe some time ago.

just a thought

[explicit8]

I had the idea to repair it in case something reveals but nothing...:P
