Welcome, to Project Reclaim. We hope you enjoy your stay here on Sterry Island.
To explore, you can send this blog a Message or a Submission in the form of a paragraph starter explaining what you’re doing and where you’re going. You could also make a post in which you tag this account. You could even reblog one of the location-specific posts if you are exploring that area. Below are some examples. If you’re sending a message, making a post submission, or reblogging a post, your starter should follow a similar format. (Obviously your writing style, details, and etc. will be different. This is merely an example so you understand how interacting with this account will work.)
Post:
Stella gets up early and walks out to the forest. She’s going to get some exploring done today. In her bag, shes packed 2 water bottles, a tin of food, and some rope, along with her trusty grappling hook. Walking through the forest for a ways, she notices a suspicious plant. She decides to investigate it, @exploration-guide

You are free and welcome to include images or gifs of your faceclaim anywhere in your text. The most important thing to include is “@exploration-guide“ when you’re making a post. It can go anywhere in the post, as long as it’s there. It is not necessary in messages or submissions, and optional on reblogs.
Please remember your character can not take with them, or use supplies they do not possess. Remember to keep track of your supply list accurately.
While you’re exploring, you may discover new and useful materials, find plants or animals that can be eaten, get into an accident, or even discover a new place.
The exploration guide works much like any other character blog would, except our character is Sterry Island. If the island is doing something, this blog will report on it. Anywhere from weather events to supply drops.

I never did read the Obduction Exploration Guide that comes with the game. I quickly glanced at it after I’d finished playing, realised that it was basically just a walkthrough, and moved on. Until @stormteller mentioned it in a reply I didn’t even give it another thought but looking through it now, there really are some choice bits of info contained within. As with all things Cyan, it answers some questions and raises others.
For instance... Kaptar is a Hungarian word that translates to hive.
re: the Arai execution of the plan and the half Mofang
The inner areas of Kaptar are where worlds collide. The Arai live in a hive area that is protected and accessed with a sphere rotator from Hunrath. And near the hive is a room with major importance — a war room of sorts. The only thing evident here is a spent seed-swap device connected to a scale, some purple arcs of stone, and a portion of an alien who was rushing to save his world from destruction.
An Arai was stationed here for the battle that you’ve heard so much about. The simple command it carried out was to hover above the scale until this section was swapped to Soria. At that point it was just a matter of landing on the scale to swap this section back to Kaptar — and swap the massive weapon back to Soria where it detonated. There were war rooms in every world. This is the one that successfully executed the plan.
re: the Mofang in Maray (aka Fauxsef/iMayor)
A battle went down, but C.W. was waiting for either things to be destroyed or his fellow humans to come home. The reason that everything was at a standstill was because a small battle was still going on here in Maray.
A Mofang arrived here, with a massive weapon meant to destroy this place. The Villein were ready for it, but they weren’t ready to see Josef arrive. The masquerade bought the Mofang just enough time to shoot one of the Villein guards, but a second Villein guard, Trar, forced the Mofang away from his bomb. A standoff ensued… until you arrived.
re: Soria and the Mofang’s murderous intent
Soria is the world that you see outside of Hunrath. The strange purplish landscape was home to an alien race that the humans in Hunrath began calling the Mofang — from the Chinese word that means “to imitate.” The Mofang had amazing technology, well beyond the other species, and at first the interactions between worlds seemed cordial and productive.
But as the years went by, a majority of the large Mofang population began to feel like it was their destiny to move forward to wherever the process of the trees and the abduction would take them, without the other species. They began to fear that the other species had strengths that might reduce their own superior desire to control. Rather than move forward together, a plan was put into place to destroy the other species.
But a few Mofang, lead by Chavar, felt differently. At extreme personal risk Chavar got word to Farley of the plans. Farley devised the counter-attack. Some of the helpful Mofang managed to make it safely to Maray.
Came across this really good guide to exploration – http://www.toptiertactics.com/21341/eve-online-exploration-guide-billions-and-billions-of-isk/#axzz3UUqVDwNk – and thought I would share it with you all.
