I'll keep my eye on this, but it'll be more dependent on how the game runs. As the reason I lost activity midway through the ARG was because the game felt so much more "static" after they announced the book.

If I remember correctly, they said they were going to give notice to players after they were ready for their "new project".

So hopefully that does mean a reboot and not a continuation.

Alright.

Yeah, it doesn't look like any of the fiction was quite finished. I'm not even sure if the story ever really did "auto-resolve." It may have just disappeared.

I think I'll wait to see if I hear back from that email address before I do anything (as it will hopefully settle whether this is a full reboot or not), but by and far I agree with the idea of adjusting the thread title. If I don't hear back at all in a couple days, I'll go ahead and do that.

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and change the title, as I haven't heard back from anyone.

Whoaaaaa it's been a while since I visited the unforums and what do I find when I log in! Nice work duke, I'll keep an eye out once in a while (not too frequently though) and I'll be watching here.

I got the same thing.

I'll read it later, but it does seem that they at least expect someone on board with this to have played the original, as IT ALL STARTED is a hint at one of the old sites. It was from after the point at which everything started to fall apart, so I don't really remember what it used to be, but now it seems to be a log from the Repertum.

Look at itallstarted.com

EDIT: Read the thing. It was a little hard to read at times, but it was a log detailing what seemed to be a catastrophic failure of their mission resulting from a mysterious engine contaminant.

This is also accessible from FAILTECH's site: http://lainsy.net/dlog/1102-3677/P-B7/

This has new content, as well: http://oriruserku.org/

Greetings!

Captain Kalvin Zior reporting from the Project Repertum here. I am please to inform you
that we have reach the last leg of our voyage and will arrive to our target destination soon.
It has been a tough journey, and we have pushed through.

The Repertum Mobile Science Station has now been fully awakened. All staff and employees are
now activated from deep stasis to acclimatize and perform the necessary setup operation in
preparation to our arrival at the destination.

All of the investment put into this project will now bear fruit and we can finally answer an
age old question that has been with humanity since the 21th century. A question that has
started and ended wars. A question that brough a civilization up, and destroyed many others.
A question that only we could possibly answer.

But before we could answer that, let us

Okay that entry log posted in http://itallstarted.com/ is pretty dang long but I read it. I'll try and summarize it here.

The log is from the Repertum ship. Most of it is written by a communications officer named Tiana Vel (aka TV-A0, identity code: TV-FT-RX00A0). The last entry is written by the captain Kalvin Zior (aka KZ-00, identity code: KZ-FT-RX0000). There's a 3rd ID code listed, NC-OS-RX0001, he's referred to in the entry once as NC-01, maybe he's the first officer? Not sure.

The ship's mission is to travel to the origin of the universe. The crew was in stasis for most of the trip until they were just recently woken up since the ship was nearing their destination. They were getting their ship ready for the arrival but they detected some weird stuff going on.

Tiana Vel noticed that the ship lost comms with headquarters/mission control/whatever, despite the fact that the equipment seems to be functioning just fine. He also detected a weird ancient comm signal, and set to work decoding and finding a way to communicate on this comm signal, which came in handy in a little bit.

Kalvin Zior and crew detected a Class E Contaminant (E-Con) in one of the ship's engines. They isolated the E-Con, which was doing weird but innocuous things, such as generating hydrogen particles. When they thought to use the hydrogen particles for their fusion reactors, shit hit the fan. Turns out these hydrogen particles were also contaminated, and since they got all into the ship, the ship AI reacted and did what it always does in this situation: IT WENT INTO LOCKDOWN!! ::woo as usual hahaha::

So the ship is now in automated control, the crew is locked down in various areas of the ship where hopefully some of them (like Tiana Vel and Kalvin Zior) have enough supplies to last, and the last entry is that the ship has arrived at its destination but the lockdown protocol is still active. So the ship isn't moving anymore, but the crew still can't do anything. The last entry mentions they will try manual override via external access, but they're not sure if that's going to work.

One of the last entries of the log was a code dump:

Went to check out the http://oriruserku.org/ site.

Tried to convert the calibration data as if it's hex and got: SB;EV:AA;EV:AB;IQ:48:AA;IQ:69:AB;DX?

Doesn't seem like much. Anybody got an idea?

Also, when i looked at the source code for the failtech website this was at the very bottom:
