3. The 3/5 Cosmic Call Messages received seems like a lead, but ive hit a dead end really. The chronology of the messages sent/received doesnt seem to be consistent.
I think this might refer to the number of puzzles we have done so far. We are on the 3rd-ish. So there could be 2 more after this one. Just speculating. Could be wrong.

I wouldn't say I'm pissed off as I don't want to denigrate their efforts too much but it's starting to annoy me that they've clearly put a lot of work in but then they do stuff like referring to Lockheed Martin or an existing phama company which obviously wasn't going to be allowed and also when so many of the figures don't match up and some are fixed but some aren't and we're left not knowing which ones are genuine errors. Equally, amending links, especially if it's critical to the game, isn't great etiquette.

clues
Its a bit frustrating that no matter how much we are manipulating/deconstructing the clues weve tried to glean from the site, with the vague references, odd discrepancies, orb sequence in the background, we cant really discern any promising lead that stands out.
1. i think its obvious theres something here we arent seeing with the "minerals" and "resources" chart. Is it actually a cipher? Is it something else? Ive used a couple of different methods working with the spreadsheet in trying to manipulate a clue out of it, but nothing is surfacing.
2. Despite our efforts, we cant seem to torture any clues out of the orb sequence.
3. The 3/5 Cosmic Call Messages received seems like a lead, but ive hit a dead end really. The chronology of the messages sent/received doesnt seem to be consistent.
4. The other odd discrepancies and information that stands out from the investor information banner and corporate timeline are notable, but I cant really distinguish any real lead. Its all a bit of vague guesswork at this point. Which mistakes/errors are meaningful? which arent? who knows?
with so many red herrings, its hard to tell whats relevant. The element lead corresponding to the pictures seems interesting. Maybe even Enki/Ea is relevant? I suspect maybe David is what we should be looking at the most, with the unavailable module on the main page. The picture is of a fingerprint with the weyland logo in the center, which makes me think its something to do with the David android.

Admittedly, it's easy to miss or forget something, but I feel like some people are just lazy about reading. I know I've caught up on faster developing threads.
But you're right, I guess, I apologize if I were too dismissive.

I went to bed last night and woke up to 11 new pages. I read through them all but could well have missed stuff. I'd agree that we could/should be less abrasive to ppl who miss pre-existing information, especially when they're often so new.

My fear is that the "pp-" directory hint we may have just been given is the next in the PMs love of syntax hints.

Just to expand upon this(As I've just caught up myself - what an amazing 14 hours) web 'pages' always give this response from their server, however images which don't exist will always give you a 404 on their server.
So you can try any name you wish after projectprometheus.com and get the message you got proving nothing.
Hope that helps.

I did some image adjustment and paused on this frame, near the end.

Hello all! I just joined so I could comment on the movie file -- I'm able to watch the entire thing and have been playing with filters. There looks to be a waveform in the background.
To follow-up for possible reproduction:
Best way to view what I'm talking about is to Deinterlace using Phosphor mode. Put the movie on repeat and watch the left of the screen, you'll see large amplitude flashes of a brighter nature; these amplitudes immediately shrink. Another way, within VLC, is to use the "Video Effects", "Colors" tab, and "Negate Colors" (only this option). You will see the difference.
Edit: Also try with "Posterize".
Heres a frame export and then reassembly of the last few seconds of the bg spheres if anyone wants to check it out. 32 frames at one second per frame.
If it looks promising then I can do the earlier glitch as well but looking at it using the above gives something but not sure what.
They both match for me. I tried in an incognito window and in IE.
Curious. Mine are fresh pulls from this morning, using Firefox, and HTTPS anywhere.

If this is another admin repair it's getting ridiculous. How are we supposed to cope with all of these red herrings when can't tell which are real and which are errors? It would help if there was a theme to the clues we're looking for.
