One's in the void, the other is in the satelite itself, the rest have not been discovered/added yet.

Vitatroll made a joke.

That was the aftermath of a canister bomb explosion, as originally seen here:

I'm not sure about this, Jones can be emagged and turned into some zombie monster, but the buff jons the catte at the diner seems like it would be more a suspect. The thing with the catte is there's a story associated with it in the code, but it's just a regular cat with unique name and examine text. Jones on the other hand has some code associated with it, but it really only extends to being emagged.

Here's the catte exert:

"I caught a fish once, real little feller, it was.
As I was preparing to throw it back into the lake this gray cat came up to me.
Without a sound he stands on his hind legs next to me, silently watching what I'm doing.
He stands like that for several minutes, looking at the fish, then at me, then back at the fish
Eventually I gave him the fish.
He followed me home.
Good catte."

* Note, this is found in the medbot section for some reason, not associated with cats.

Basically, if people want to try dragging Jones around to different locations, see how he interacts with solarium objects, and check back that would be cool!

Jones weaves through The Automaton's legs and trips it!

Maybe it has something to do with cat drugs?

I tried on the release version, but nothing happened, you just hit them with it. Same with filleting it and trying to feed it to them. Catnip does cause a reaction, but I dunno how it would be connected to sol.

Cats, on our space station? It's more likely than you'd think!

Now, Jones the Cat is a reference to the movie Alien, but Alien mode was removed long before Solarium was ever birthed. (I think.)

So its clearly not that. But you know what Space Station 13 is infamous for? Clowns.

That's right, clowns. But isn't this about cats?

But that's just it. Associating cat-things with cat-based Solarium puzzles would be too easy. You gotta think outside the box here, like with every puzzle.

So, cats? clowns? What do they have in common?

This dead meme:

What does this dead meme have? Simple, a literal bike-horn. What is the clown in SS13 associated with? Simple, bike-horns.

The solution is to give Jones the Cat and Jons the Catte back. Once this task is accomplished, step back and watch in horror as the true ending Solarium is unlocked.

The true ending is: cats.

Okay, so about a week ago I remember some admin being on Destiny. If memory serves me right it was ZeWaka (depends, whose character is Shitty Bill Jr?). They created a perma-portal and teleported away, and they were never seen again. They mentioned "testing out a new area". I asked some vague questions for maximum vague, and got definitively vague answers.

Is the area new?
It's been in the game for a while now.

Is the area able to be reached?
Yes.

Is it reachable the same way as the other areas, that is, via the teleporter?
That'd be no fun to answer.

What do I doooooo
Go yell at #sol to get off their butts and find this thing, they've given up too early.

There is hope, friends. What do we do with this info?
