I like the theory but I think that the highlighting is just the key indicating that water is neither a mineral or a fuel.

Funny you should say that, have you seen how Noomi is dressed in some of the clips Wink Anyway - that's my theory. Water is also highlighted in the elemental part of the chart. Hmmm

Another good catch on the anomalies in the data! It makes it pretty cut and dry - those on earth, and those not. It doesnt say those on earth, those on terraformed planets, those on ships etc - so another curious random number.

I'm just imagining the folks working on this are both amazed and frustrated with what we catch, based on the sheer number of "Corrections" we've seen! And to that, i say - Good Work Team! Very Happy

Sorry for disturbing, but do you try only 'projectprometheus.com' URLs?

First mystery led to 'weylandindustries.com/6EQUJ5'. Second was 'projectprometheus.com/245409', 'projectprometheus.com/eridu' was just a lucky guess. What if we should look for another 'weylandindustries.com' URL? I think it's worth to try both URLs, just in case. Btw 'projectprometheus.com' is linked in the module 2, so if there are two mysteries following the Investor Information section, the first one could be placed on the company site.

I'm wondering if the pictures we have are clues based around their setting or if not clues, they have a theme

I'm beginning to think the theme is elemental

we have also been looking at the cosmic call 2 which we have found 3/5...
so I'm assuming each call relates to an element. Also somebody mentioned that the Project Prometheus logo had a symbol that looked like it related to the five elements.

the elements are likely to be either Babylonian or Greek style if the themes are concurrent with what we have seen so far.

Babylonian Elementals
sea, earth, fire, sky, and wind

Greek Elementals
Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Aether (heavens, space etc)


I'll go with greek for now
Aether PICTURE 1 Star Maps




Air PICTURE 2 shows The Prometheus in the Sky



Earth PICTURE 2 shows the Prometheus crew landed on the surface



I think the next two images will relate to water and fire and I also think that once we have all five we will unlock something cool, just like in The 5th Element

I di it again, this time the only difference was it gave me 508 reproduced frames.

I doubt it's any importance.

Looking at the mp4 version I'd say it goes all the way across, or at least is visible on the right as well. I think this has to go down as just a video glitch.

I see it, I see some fluctuations in the white background. Those are accentuented and take on colors, kind of, at the end when the video "glitches". Might just be low quality in the color scheme or soemthing like that. Don't know nothing about photo/video. I'm a little better with audio...

Iìm looking for a way to extract eventual data hidden in video files, but that's not very conclusive.

Something odd I noticed about 3/5 Cosmic Call 2 messages received.

According to the banner the current year is 2073

Assuming that the Cosmic Call messages were received in the chronological order they were sent, the 4th message should have arrived at HD 10307 Andromeda in 2044. The 5th message should have arrived at HD 95128 Ursa Major in 2049. This seems a bit inconsistent. Unless, "3/5 Cosmic Call 2 messages received" means a reply from the Cosmic Call destinations? Which means that they have received 3 reply messages, from intelligent life? seems odd.


I noticed this too. And I'm with you.

I'm assuming that "Received" implies that a reply was received.
Just for the fact that all five Cosmic Calls should have already hit their destinations.

The problem, is that if you were to assume the same reply speed that the original messages were sent, only one of the replies would have been received by 2073.

Even taking the Project's launch date of 2081 into consideration, only two replies could have been received by that time.

Perhaps it's just an over-sight on the PMs parts.

Perhaps it's just presumptuousness to assume the transmission speeds of an alien race in a fictional universe.
But, it would be a bit unfair to base a puzzle off of a part of lore that there, very likely, isn't any canon for.

So, is this something? Or is it just sloppy lore work?



Yeah, I really cant figure out this bit. It doesnt make sense either way you interpret it. unless im not realizing something here...

Assuming that by now all of the errors in the resources table have been corrected, there are a few things that stand out in regards to the numbers assigned to each. The five 'fictional' resources can possibly be attributed to the authors assigning arbitrary numbers to them, as can the 'general' resources such as GAS, OIL, WATER and RARE EARTHS. The bits that stand out to me are GRAPHITE and TITANIUM.

Firstly, GRAPHITE is not an element but a compound made almost entirely of carbon, therefore it has no 'true' atomic number. If you had to assign an atomic number to GRAPHITE that number would be the atomic number of carbon which is 6. COAL is very much the same thing - a compound made almost entirely of carbon. In the Weyland table COAL is correctly assigned the number 6, but GRAPHITE is given the number 147. (Which is the same number given to the fictional element ADAMANTINE. PSshuh?)

Secondly, TITANIUM is an element but its assigned atomic number is completely wrong. It is assigned the number 45, but it should be 22. (45 is atomic number of Rhodium, which is in the table and correct.)

28 of the 37 resources are real world but only 26 of them have correct atomic numbers.

Question
