Thank you for sending in the code. It seems they can reset their code faster then anticipated. We can't confirm the status of the criminal as of now, however, we don't think he can escape from the planet without being noticed. We have already setup a defensive formation around the planet and will execute the transfer once we have entered the frequency code. Here's how it works. Once the code is entered, we will fire the gravitonic generators onto the surface of the planet and generate a gravitonic field around it. Once it has stabilized, we will activate the time displacement machine and send the planet back to the future. We have two shots, one for Afyg and one for Byruniuku. However, in the event that our initial shot for Afyg fails, the Byruniuku will have to wait until we could establish contact with Oriru Serku to get additional shots. We will execute the plan in 3 hours.

Gladly accepts.

I transcribed a glyph incorrectly. I failed to notice a vertical line in the greater quadrant III, making a six--not a five. I had 253 instead of 263. XD I even emailed that fail.

[posse]

I'm getting what Lystella is getting I believe. Here's my process so far. Translating and also inverting the numbers (still in Heptilon):

Code:

-------      |  42   |  11  | |-----|------|  2144 |  13  | -------------| -------------|-------------              |              |     263      |   340              | --------------------------- =[CODE

Converting from Heptilon to decimal:

Code:

-------      |  30   |  8   | |-----|------|  767  |  10  | -------------| -------------|-------------              |              |     143      |   175              | --------------------------- =[CODE

What I think is the formula then (agreed, punxtr that between quads III and IV it looks like addition): ((30*8 )+(767+10))/(175+143)= (240+777)/318=3.1981132 (in decimal) = 3.12464 (Heptilon)

[Lystella]

I found the following, but I probably did something wrong somewhere. XD
I used addition.
(3.19811) ₁₀
(3.12464) ₇

...seeing if i can draw a diagram of what I did for checking...

[punxtr]

Okay, I'm pretty sure that quadrants III & IV require addition, not subtraction, but I did it both ways. I got:

*if addition*
(3.2701)10
(3.1614334)7

*if subtraction*
(-25.5641)10
(-34.3643260)7

Anyone get the same?

I asked Daniel if he knew what might be going on with LAINSY:

Quote:

Sorry if I am much involved in the recent happening around. I've been quite busy myself. Last time I checked with the Dev Team, they say technician found some sort of virus in the system. It's quite sophisticated and beyond their own capabilities. Quite well adapted in fact, they say they find it quite suspicious that the virus was abel to run on LAINSY. You know, LAINSY is custom coded from the ground up, it's nothing like Windows or *nix computers. And yet, some one was able to write code for her. It is either someone who has worked for us previously created this or it could be some sort of internal sabotage. They haven't fully examined the virus, yet, since they can't read the code. Apparently the virus is self-defensive and encrypted with encryption we haven't known, yet. Anyhow, the suggestion of re-instating Scarlet, which happened to be Genus' and Emily's daughter Scarlet herself, is still deffered at the moment. Until then, we're not performing any drastic measures, but we might reboot her and restore her from a system snapshot that doesn't have the virus. Any other questions you need to ask?

So it looks like there's a virus in LAINSY, and a reboot might be imminent.

Woohoo! Great job you guys! Email from skyfall...

Thank you, you have given the decimal form, we'll do the conversion to Heptilon. I have BCC'ed your team mates this same message. The code you have just retrieved is a base code for the temporal photonic field frequency used by the Afyg to shield themseleves and their units from damage. It is nearly similar to the technology used by the Galactic Union who locked them down, and Genus Orein who also locked them down into de-phasement. However, this technology does not places the subject in a different plane of existence, but rather, allows the subject to seamlessly allow other things, such as our weapons, to pass through them if they are not enclosed in a temporal photonic field of the same frequency. Therefore, without the frequency code, we are unable to attck them. We've lost a lot of our units because of this. Thankfully, your the code was indeed displayed somewhere in your jurisdiction. It was a wild guess, and yes I lied that I was informed of that. Nonetheless, we are now in the process of sending them back to the future. Unless of course they could re-configure their TPF frequency before that happens. Hopefully, not. Additionally, the Jhuku is being escorted his way back to Earth. From there, Winston will take over and will be in contact. ETA is roughly 30 hours. If you see another code, please do send it in. It may indicate they have re-configured their TPF and we'll need to adjust our systems for it.

I converted it for fun:

(-4.25342534253425342534)7

[Lystella]

Possibly...ah...does it matter if the answer is base 10 or base 7?

so confuzzled /(@_@)\

EDIT: Yay posse! \(^O^)/

The bolded part seems to be calculated from Quadrant 2 to Quadrant 1, but Skyfall mentioned performing the operations from Quadrant 1 to Quadrant 2, so, keeping the earlier method, I propose this edit: ((45-259) / (4*12)) + (6 / (50*2))

I hear ya. So... -4.39833333 is the answer to this code?

[Lystella]

Yah....I'm not sure about how I interpreted numbers on deck, and the numbers weren't looking pretty on my paper when I was attempting to calculate them with that method. One thing about your equation, posse: ((259-45) / (4*12)) + (6 / (50*2))

[posse]

Trying to work this out. As decoded by themedic:

Code:

520 | 63 ----------   4 | 15      -----     +   6 | ---------- 101 | 2      -----

Translated to base 10:

Code:

259 | 45 ----------   4 | 12      -----     +   6 | ----------  50 | 2      -----

And as suggested by Lystella, I propose the following formula: ((259-45) / (4*12)) + (6 / (50*2)) = CODE = 4.51833333
I guess it's not considered complex math, but whaaaaaaaaat??
