For what it's worth, if you multiply the numbers of the two duplicate resources 147 and 45 you get 6615, which is the catalog ID of an embryonic protein called Drosophila. The protein has interactions in cancer cells... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/6615

this doesn't appear to me to be in-game but thought i'd share. to those who may be curious then read below, if not you can skip this post.

also, don't mean to sidetrack or sound nitpicky, it's just (while no 'expert') it was my academic focus at one time...

drosophila isn't a protein but a genus(taxon) which may involve the popularly-used melanogaster line of fruit flies in genetics research, or other phylogenic relatives, such as certain genes in snail development. in one lab we performed mendelian genetics to determine phenotypic traits over several generations of d. melanogaster fruit flies.

phylogeny, the study of the evolution of genes and genomes, is used to understand and map specific genes. genes that could be studied to see how they interact with cancer cells. the idea behind it is to learn if certain genes, albeit very similar to a host's own gene, can repress an uncontrolled gene expression that leads to various types of cancers.

from the abstract, the article is looking into details of genetic mechanisms, interactions and molecular biology of snail protein formations that serve to turn of specific ectodermic genes(a repressor) during developmental stages. zinc fingers refer to a certain shape of proteins in 3d space that require zinc for stabilisation.

this chart explains how mesoderms, etcoderms et al. turn into various parts of the body: http://www.luc.edu/faculty/wwasser/dev/layer.htm

It's a bit of a straw and I haven't found anything down this path - it could be coincidence but I thought I would post it in case someone else could find something in it or it rang a bell with anyone.

Now to find some kind of numerical sequence in that resource table. I am sure there is one. Sure of it... kind of.

I read the whole article the first time it was posted, and while the actual description of the event doesn't seem to point to anything from the ARG or the film, the map and the story behind is really interesting, specially considering how prominent the Zeta Reticuli system is in the story. Aside from the map lining up with the pattern of the trailer, we don't have any clear leads yet.

We have, And if there is, surely we won't miss it. When it is afoot. Which, if you ask me, is not at the moment.

Wow, I've been Trouted! LOL.

First time for everything I guess. Can I get that stuffed and mounted?


I was only trying to illuminate any information that might be in the article/story of Mr. and Mrs. Hill.

It was mentioned (for the third time) just 3 pages ago.

Wow!

Just read most of the information in the wiki link you posted and i have to admit that the star map is very much like what we have been looking at in previous posts. not sure what we could do with this though, however a more experienced ARG player might have some suggestions.

I also think that the Peter Weyland Fakebook page is not in game.

The Weyland logo used for the cover photo is very grainy. Or should I say "low resolution".

If it was the real deal, I would think that the logo image would be sharper.

And the writing would be more grammatically correct.

Thanks ObFuSc8 and Yoko99 for helping clear things up on the singular vs. plural lingo. And the Latin vs. English naming conventions.

It's good that we all have an understanding of the correct meanings and definitions of that which is being posted here.

Maybe there should be a definition page on the prometheus wiki.

Mutilation of the English language to this degree is no accident. A direct reference to Adamantine is being made here 'Steel'. Combined with 'Still', my guess is this is the key to the next image.

I also added a heavily optimized screen cap from the page to Yoko99's Wiki some days ago:

Could be a good idea to cross-reference it periodically for changes/alterations.

Rocket Rob wrote: Reticula vs. Reticuli Is one singular and the other plural ? I believe so...[/url]

Yes, Reticula would be a planet/star, and Reticuli would be a system. My latin needs a brush-up, haha

Same deal with 'ae', as in nebula = singular, nebulae = plural. <<-- Good

Guess its good for everyone to know that, given this ARG's context.

When all is said and done here, we'll emerge as the true Weyland assets, having powercurved Astronomy, Molecular Biology, Terraforming, Artificial Intelligence, Alchemy, and advanced web design/database research.

I'm ready to make some serious enhancements to my cv.
