Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
It strikes me as a painting of an astronaut in a shuttle as it's launching.
The pads are just there to monitor vital signs, and note how the picture appears to be shaking or "shivering" as though the point of view is moving about.
That's my take on it, anyway. Were it not for the technological aspects, I would have guessed at the Shroud of Turin.
Suprised none of us have explored this possibilty further - given the title, it seems more than likely it has something to do with Briggs, however important.
Jesus was an alien! Let us all rejoice in the intergalactic siblinghood! They mean us no harm! Jeff Briggs is the second coming of Jesus Christ, Civ3 is the final sign of the Apocalypse! Ahlejuhjah! Sid Meier is God!
...er, where was I?
Okay, so if there aren't wonder movies, these shots must come from either the opening or closing cinematics, right? So where does the one that looks like the Apollo Project come from?
Well I must admit that I noticed the more than passing resemblance to Brother Lal
Perhaps this will be the twist. The AC video will show the reactor and then go through the stasis chamber, and there they will all be, Sister Miriam, Provost Zakharov (yay!), and perhaps even Captain Garland

I actually used CTP intro movie images as windows wallpapaers for a long time... started with the spaceship, then used the boat, then the roman soldier at the beach... got bored of it though, use a Gimli pictuer from the LOTR movie nowadays
having Lal & Co. in Civ3 end would be very interesting. It would give that feel of continuation, from Civ1/2/3 to SMAC. Maybe they have SMAC 2 under construction :drool:
I brought the shot up in the AC forum, and many concurred with me...
Firaxis, please make me a happy Apolytoner, and a truckload of unhappy Apolytoners
Is that man Pravin Lal?
In his cryopod perhaps, during the acceleration phase of Unity?
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!
