The glyphs that you can optionally photograph on Mission Atlantis episode 2 looked suspiciously familiar to me as I was playing through. I couldn't place it until I saw the "alien transmission" at the end...
Of course! Lunar Colony Island! Remember the glyphs on the walls of the Alien Base? They match the six glyphs found in Episode 2 (which represent numbers in the alien language). Both alien civilizations tend to like glowing purple things. Both are shown to have secretly known about Earth life for a long time (the timeline from the alien base, pictured right; and the goblin shark trapped for 125 million years).
They have a language (which Poptropica may be giving us hints about to try to translate it), strange technology (force fields that generate power from and immortalize living things, remote viewing through time and space), and who knows what. They've been watching us from perhaps as far back as Nabooti Island (the totem statue was an alien spacecraft after all and the gems had inscriptions similar to the Lunar Colony ones). Could their mystery finally be uncloaked in Mission Atlantis? I'm certainly looking forward to it!
Before I go: the Creators have only promised three episodes of Mission Atlantis so far, according to the island info page. But the description for Episode 3 reads:
You're on the verge of the greatest discovery in human history — but an ancient intelligence has other plans.
Now, when has your Poptropican ever lost in any Poptropica island? Or when has any island ever left off on the verge of something? Never. I'm almost certain that Mission Atlantis is going to have at least one more episode before the end of the year! And now we have an idea of what this "ancient intelligence" is.
