Considering that I saw Cari reply to someone somewhere "don't worry, Caly will have multiple spicy scenes in the future" or something along those lines, I think we're definitely going to get something in the next update.
Yeah, probably not going all the way, but not only is something due with her, it's the perfect opportunity. I'm sure she and Orion will get some alone time in private chambers once they clear up who Orion is and how he freed Calypso. The Elves might not approve of a human fully, but at least respect what he's done for her so they don't lock him up.
At the end of the day, once the first part of the update is done, then we're gonna have to move on to other girls so they get their screen time. So if not now, when?
It'd be interesting if a gem was found there, but I don't know why 9 of them would be scattered around Eternum and 1 left behind in a different world. I actually think the Founder himself placed all of the gems, based on how an exit portal appeared when the zombie mom hugged with her kid and the mystery was solved when we acquired the 1st gem. The portals are his creation.
Maybe he's just looking for the strongest individual for reasons unrevealed, possibly then to control them via the neutral implant, and William is mistaken thinking he's trying to get the gems for himself. I mean, William never even met the guy based on how he was bitching about him never showing his face anywhere.

Minor correction; Yliar never had them. It was the Eldari hero who had the gems and apparently used them to defeat Yliar (or at least, that's what it looked like in the story).

Isn't she the head Monarch? I think she was just talking in a more general sense for mortals. Surely after having gotten to know Orion she will give him the VIP status in the realm.

never, playing the villain is much more fun
i'd rather join church of nova than accept the calypso LI theory with only the current data
the opinion may change after 0.9, we will have to wait and see XD
Didn't anyone react to the fact that the Founder held the 9th Gem? Wasn't it supposed to be undiscovered?
The one Gem that mc found was in the Red Herring server, hidden behind a puzzle, was handed to him by an NPC.
NPCs are controlled by Ulysses/Founder.
I think the founder at one point had all 10 gems, but don't know how to use them. So he's seeding them into Eternum to have the players engaged and hunting/fighting for them.

You must be registered to see the links
(no guarantee on completeness).Found
You must be registered to see the links
via search function for daila+beach, don't recall if it was the correct one, but you would probably know if it is.I Just want to clear up something that's bugging me. There are no scenes with Penny this update, is that correct?
I think its very likely that Caly gets a scene or even two (a sharing and a solo scene), she was obviously exaggerating or to be more precise talking about the "normal human".
The Queen got married by someone similar to Orion after all. They are more martial, if you have the power you have more right lol

Sounds like something Thanatos would conjure up rather than the Founder, searching for someone strong (tho in his case it's likely to test his mettle and all).
Also, the portals are his creation and the NPCs are "reprogrammed" by him, but I don't buy that he planted the gems. Would make the entire VRMMO deception feel unnecessary when he could, say, create a Battle Royale style VR game instead if the objective is to find who is strong enough to utilize the gems.
Plus while the Founder could control the NPC's memories and personalities, the Ekabar incident in 0.7 showed that NPCs can break away from their programming and do things on their own free will. So it's possible that the gem provided by the NPC in the Red Herring server was something that they had in their possession* and they gave it to Orion because they wanted to, not because they're preprogrammed to do so.
*or they could manifest it, which tracks with an old theory of mine that the reason why the dead are trapped in Eternum is because they alone could manifest and give the gems to someone worthy enough, and the person responsible for closing Acheron (the Founder or possibly one of the Immortals of old) knows this, which is what led to Eternum's current state
I think the woman who helped them with the clue in The Red Herring belongs to the Syndicate. The Syndicate most likely consist of human souls that haven't been chipped and mind controlled by Ulysses/Founder yet and I think they are tied to Idriel (in Limbo) somehow. Like they are her acolytes she uses/influences to steer events in a certain direction to break the cycle.
But that little girl who handed Orion the box with the gem was definitely an NPC controlled by the Founder.

She said so.
The one who gave us the letter we weren't supposed to open that got delivered during our heist planning meeting was also syndicate IIRC. On my path I didn't get a good enough look at her to see if it's the same little girl tho'.

That's what I was saying in my post tho: the Founder may have control of the NPC's behavior but 0.7 showed that it is not absolute and Orion being rewarded the gem could be one of those moments where an NPC went against its programming because they found him worthy of it.
Orion would have recognized her if she was the same girl.
How do you explain the 9th gem being in the hands of the Founder?

Why does it need explained? If having all 10 make you CEO and he's the CEO now maybe he had them all to begin with. Or not.
CEOs are appointed by a board of directors. This whole 10 gems to become CEO is just the lure to get people to hunt/fight for the gems IMHO. The real reason why the Founder created the neural implant, exit portals, inventory system is far more sinister I bet. At least that's the info we got from William Bardot if he can be trusted. I bet he has his own hidden agenda as well.

-The easiest explanation is that he found it prior to the creation of the VRMMO, realized the enormity of the task required in finding all of them, and thus made him come up with the whole scheme of using unpaid normies to do the dirty work for him. The only reason he's putting it as a reward is because the xenomorph crisis is threatening to unravel the truth about Eternum to the world and thus put a halt to the gem hunt (and the Founder could ill afford that from happening, not when only one gem remains unfound)
-An intern or agent from Ulysses found it recently, but rather than announce the find to the world Ulysses decides to use it to motivate players to clean house and keep the VRMMO deception going. The Founder is okay with this since ultimately the gems will end up in his hands once all are found
