And roght next to that on the wall off the side of the landing pad is an animated image of what appears to resemble the landing pads with only one red. The red one seems to resemble the one that has the decorative piece. Is this new? Or have i just never noticed it?
The 2 Nanite givers have been there. The panels with the unknown markings are now glitching. This may or may not be related to the new story we are uncovering.
Hmmm 
I didn’t notice these…
Interesting… 
This is the glitching panel that some have noticed. I am not sure it wasn’t already that way. However, I have noticed these spills showing up. I know the larger one was already there but, I am unsure of when it appeared.
I got a strange loop trying the first weekend community mission. After travelling through the first portal it shows destination for a sec, then back to travelling through the portal and its a continious loop.
I think I got that briefly as well. I went back through the portal then realized I shouldn’t have. After going through, you are looking for an underwater waypoint.
Steps for weekend event:
Visit 3 knowledge stones.
Go through the portal.
Travel to underwater waypoint.
Interact with distress beacon.
Gather 12 Living Pearls.
Interact with distress beacon.
Travel,back through portal.
Did I miss anything?
I was a bit confused when instructed to give items to another traveller. There were several others there, but I did not need to give anyone anything. (although I did, to help one person out)
In Permadeath Mode (or maybe randomly) you can be attacked by biological horrors after going through the portal. It is possible for there to be a roaming abyssal horror (angler fish) at the sunken freighter (I encountered this in normal mode).
The discovery of this easter egg makes me feel like we are playing an ARG again, with clues hiding in plain sight.
Hmm, Ill have to try again. Glad you blur the spoiler. “No, don’t tell me, let it be a surprise.”
Ok. We can lay this theory to rest. Still, the unknown glyphs and the red flashing light on the panel and on the calcishrooms is very interesting. How do they tie together?
My guess would be innocent texture re-use… 
Ah. So it had been there the entire time. Guess I just never looked at that particular corner of the Nexus. Interesting touch though.
Quite possible but still, they could use it to their advantage. I keep hoping.
Summary of First Weekend Event.
Caution: Spoilers.
There were a few variations in the text from the knowledge stones. Here’s some samples.
Portal and Wrecksite.
Conclusion:
KnightAlese and I encountered the phenomenon that @MacForADay described with multiplayer in Permadeath mode.
We played in other modes and even multiplayer in permadeath again with our secondary accounts and could not get this to happen again, which leads me to believe it is random or a bug with the mission series for things to come.
A more detailed description:
As soon as we exited the portal , but before the signal to the aquatic freighter wreck appeared, we had to achieve a kill count (24 if I remember correctly) against biological horrors. They erupted around both of us immediately, which I found to be a very tense (permadeath) and enjoyable surprise.
Weekend Event 2 is LIVE 
I wonder if I will get jumped by horrors again…
I was hoping to, no such luck
