I've not been able to find any stegged messages, though I'm running unfamiliar programs on linux (as camouflage is windows one) so someone else might have better luck.

I don't think there is an IG reason for a steg or anything hidden in the pic. It was taken purely by accident.

This game seems to be similar to the Transition Village games in that the players do something and the game reflects on it.

The picture could be flavor and a piece of evidence, that this beast really has a mean set of huge teeth! What I can tell, the front tooth there - to be honest, I'm not exactly sure which way is the front - looks like it broke off or worn down by use. And I am not sure what this could tell you. Confused

@Abraxas At this point in the game, we're still unable to rule out any possibilities at all. The reanimation of fossils would be an interesting take on things that I'd enjoy. Smile

The only thing that makes me think possibly not, or at least that it wasn't Dynimix that reanimated it, is the fact that they are studying fossil records to see if it has ever existed and that they mentioned somewhere that it was "captured" I believe, and somethng about how it usually lives underwater. Maybe they dumped chemicals into a swamp and accidentally fused several amphibians and reptiles into one big mean creature...lol who knows? Very Happy

Iinteresting the "Reanimated fossils" spec. from Abraxas and Rev.

Some days ago I found this info: the Kryostega Collinsoni is an amphibian fossil about 15 feet (4.57 meters) long found in 1986 in Antartica!!!

Kryostega map: http://www.eurekalert.org/multimedia/pub/9826.php?from=121150

And this location is near the Lake Vida

Thanks, Jung. Smile

Oh, wow...that is two locations which are a little too close for comfort, I have to say. Shocked

Nice find!

If you look at the ARPG thread, it seems my jokes and crackpot ideas turn into real story. recently. Cool

Let's say the microbes reanimate the fossil. Could a skin grow? Hollywood-possible? Perhaps you should send those two finds to Tyler. Maybe you change the story that way. Laughing

I think I'll lurk...looks interesting

Any thoughts about the possibility of this poikilotherm being a creature from a different time? Very Happy

might be "easier" to explain than reanimated fossils? Confused

Thunderwolf

OK I emailed Tyler wishing him well and asked him if he knows how the creature was discovered... I mean it didn't just walk into a science lab did it?

The "Frozen in ice" theory is nice, I read that report when I discovered the Kryostega clue but didn't put two and two together until now, nice one Jung.

The problem with frozen ice theory is that the cell architecture would be destroyed unless the amphibian had a particularly good "anti-freeze" mechanism that would work as a cryoprotectant to minimise crystalisation. The bigger problem is DNA, RNA and protein denaturation from years of being frozen (even if there was cryoprotectant).

However, I agree that it would be Hollywood-plausible. Rolling Eyes

(ie they can probably come up with a good-enough explanation)

ETA: single-cell organisms can be OK with this (mainly because not all of them have to survive). Multicellular orgs are a different story.
