My guess is something to do with Invincible.

My partner guesses something to do with Stargate Atlantis, I think it looks like the slingshot maneuver from Farscape, Interstellar, etc.

Yeah I was also thinking Stargate even though it's not a gate symbol, because it's talking about wormholes. But wormholes ARE in other sci fi... But Armored warrior reminds me of Goa'uld Jaffa

I adore StarGate, this symbole is too vague to be from the series. And how many armored warriors are there? As much as wormholes and Warp-propulsion and other ways to travel intergalactic distances.

I think we need some more clues to be able to get into this one. Where's all those dice-rolling peeps at?

@AgentMilkshake does some dice rolls, but I don't know if he's online today.

You know what, the pool for that one is a bit shallow, I'm gonna swap it.

What a time to have a birthdate of 6/8. Womp womp!

Google search tells me that the 'Father of Exploration' is Prince Henry the Navigator, but as for the father of Space Exploration specifically, "Russian-born scientist and mathematician Konstantin Tsiolkovsky is often referred to as the father of astronautics and human spaceflight. His visionary ideas for the future of humanity in space were far ahead of his time." And he apparently was inspired by the works of Jules Verne, which is kinda badass. I love sci-fi. Anyway, whether or not that's relevant here, those guys are considered some fathers of exploration.

I feel like this has to do with the movie Interstellar. The symbol is called the Enduring Symbol, and the name of the spaceship in that movie was the Endurance. The symbol looks like a black hole, and a black hole called Gargantua was an important plot point. The mission was needed because the Earth was disrupted by a disaster threatening to wipe out all life. And the reason for the mission was misrepresented; the crew of the Endurance was never expected to return.

That sounds very plausible!

Right? I think we had an Interstellar one year before last or last year, too, something to do with the gravity or the beings or something. It's been a while since I watched the movie, but did they ever talk about Freedom and Space in ways that it would make sense for them to be capitalized?


I do not remember all the concepts of the space-time beings and travel...

I think you're thinking of this one: https://www.rprepository.com/community/forums/topic/111623

Which was named Interstellar but was actually about NASA's TTRPG, nothing to do with the movie Interstellar.

Oh yeah. That was a fun one. My bad!!

I'm going to give you: This is part of the reference of Clue 1, yes!

The freedom to move about space thus referenced might be talking about Tsiolkovsky's Rocket Equation, maybe? Tsiolkovsky was one of the very first proponents of using rockets to get off-planet and did a lot of science that backed that up.

S'strange, though - usually we don't get real-world trivia on the first couple of devices/seals/whatever. So what's that referring to? I haven't seen Interstellar; does something go wrong with a rocket?

I have seen a good bit of For All Mankind, and I'm trying to think if anything there might be applicable to here.

Let me real quick stop you from derailing; this is definitely Interstellar related.

Brakes applied!

So I'm pretty sure this is coming down to the effort of changing Earth's gravity such that a rocket containing all of humanity could actually lift off of the surface.
