I think I've made breakthrough on this whole project Artemis riddle.
Looking at the white lines what if there used to create an image, and each part needs to be used more then once. The only thing I see them forming is the draconis combine house emblem. I think I've also figured out the whole 13-37-43-137 thing. If we take the numbers and were to add them we get the number -204 nothing interesting on its own, but if we were to subtract it from the current year of 3049 we get the year 2845. Looking at the year 2845 the following events happened.
- September: Claudius Steiner stages coup and becomes Archon, disbanding the Estates General and executing Melissa Nin.
- 5th Brigade of the Fusiliers of Oriente formed.
The 5th Brigade of the Fusiliers of Oriente was formally known as the star leagues 208th Hussar Regiment and also as the Bolton's rangers. The bolton rangers were employed by house Kurtasa.k.a draconis combine until some treachery from the combines military bureaucracy. They then went to go work for the duke of oriente. Oriente is part of the Free World League from 2271 - 3067. the Free World League is also known as House Marik. One of house Marik dominate languages is Greek.
Artemis is a Greek goddess, and the goddess of the hunt among other things. Her primary weapon was the bow. Bows use arrows for ammunition.
"Artemis" IV is a missile guidance system.
An Archer would fire arrows at a target
The Arrow IV missile system can be equipped with the Artemis IV missile guidance system.
This means we're looking for an 80-100 ton assault mech in use Circa 3049. If we take into consideration the white lines could also match the outline of a battlemech were looking for a mech with curves to it. We also most likely looking for a mech that can use missiles. This gives us the following list of mechs that fit the bill.
Victor - 80 ton mech that fires srm-4. Its head has a round profile, and so does the suits shoulders, under the armor.
Zeus - 80 ton mech that fires LRM-15 and has round shoulders.
Stalker - 85 ton mech that fires lrm 10 and srm 6. Lets face it most of this suits body is round.
Cyclops - 85 ton mech that uses lrm 10 and srm 4 its head is roundish.
Dabooku - 90 ton mech that uses lrm 10 and its shoulders are round.
Longbow - 85 ton mech that uses lrm 20 and lrm 5. Arms are circular and very big targets.
Uncertain mechs
Thug - 80 ton mech that uses srm-4, not sure if theres anything round or circular on this mech.
Highlander - 90 ton mech fires uses lrm 20 and srm 6. it looks like it shoulders are partially curved, and near its kness looks curved.
If we take the mythological aspect of Artemis log seriously, and literally then we can narrow down the list of battlemechs to the following.
Zeus - Artemis father in greek mythology
Cyclops - a type of monster in mythology with a single eye. I believe the eye was its only known week point, unsure on this though.
Longbow - its a type of bow used to shoot an arrow over greater distances.
The only mech to my knowledge to cross the Draconis Combine is the Zeus, which they encountered during the early days of the first succession war. Even if I'm off on this we are most likely looking for a 80-100 ton assault mech around circa 3049. The battlemech would be used by House Marik, Draconis Combine, or both. The battlemech is also most likely to fire missiles.
Edit:
This just hit me but this could also be pointing in a different direction. The year 2845 while linked to 5th Brigade of the Fusslers of Oriente could be more in relation to the fact they were the 208th star league hussar regiment. In which case it could be pointing us towards the Thug and Highlander assault mechs.
