Ahhh the past...
I re-read "the gates" again and would like to focus on "Hell-City" this time. Anyone has anymore informations about it, anything else that the gate could not offer ?
I also made a quick collection of "important" stuff mentioned :
-
Ero Hartstenner (
born on Mars) lol
-
Dr. Nethanial Huntz (
discovered "Hell City")
-
Dr. Sven Valgatan
-
Nolan Brians (
N.I.G.I. representative)
-
Delacroix (
designer of buildings in PE, also known as Martin Jorgensen of the SOF society)
His hotel was never built
There was also a contest where you could send your building model to him and win 50 PED. ^^
-Bertha Bot (

-
N.I.G.I (

Hell City (
There is no life at all and Dr. Huntz returns to (Neo) Ithaca after he found it)

OCTAGON (Orbital Central Tactical Administration and Global Observation Network) is a part of ODESSA and ca be detached as well and used to fly...
Bertha Bot explains Rubber Banding:
This is known as Rubber sickness. Most new colonists from Earth experience a spell of this at some point and in a few cases it can be fatal. Certain areas of Calypso leak a highly hallucinogenic invisible gas that distorts
perception of time and space. The best advice when you experience Rubber sickness is to stop and rest for a period of time until its effects wear off.
