Ok so this new exe allows us to choose 16 orbs as per the attached picture.

each time you can choose white or a colour and the three colours are in order:

Green
Purple
Orange

(all colours formed when mixing primary colours)

I was thinking since there are three lines then the orbs could represent the letters "YOU" in binary unfortunately it is 8 characters per letter not 6.

Braille however is 6 so tried using the colours as the bumps and the empty orbs as the gaps. Reading top to bottom and left to right but nada.

Edit ** Back to binary again and found 6 code CDC which then led me to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDC_display_code and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLATO_system

but i think Im lost again. Now where did i leave those breadcrumbs!

Edit*** time for bed. I found a glitch in the programme that you can actually click the orbs out of sequence and never get to the access denied screen. The orbs are always there, just hidden. Probably unintentional.

Well I've tried everything I can think of and nada.

All I can comment on is that using the dots up and down and split into three pairs you can make letters. Basically you can spell out "You" and other three letter words. Worse part about that though is there are multiple ways you can set up the dots that could work. So I don't know if that was an unintenonal side thing that wasn't meant to be followed. Otherwise maybe we're supposed to form a picture with the dots. The only thing that got me thinking that was the amyjakob message and that it was ascii art. Otherwise I'm stuck. I've tried making the primus logo, the lunarlabs logo, and about every single 3 letter word I could think of that would relate.

But the problem with that like I said before is that you can make certain letters different ways, and I don't know if the color format matters for that either.

Otherwise I have no utter clue what we're supposed to be doing with the dots.


EDIT: I've emailed both Liam and Nick. Based that each game has pointed to a person. 1st was Maria 2nd was (maybe) George 3rd was Nick. Plus the page was linked directly from Liam's page. I've tried to see if I can't get any "About Us" info from him. I've also emailed Nick saying Maria gave it to me. Might as well cover all the bases so to speak. haha

[Russell]

Using your idea of it being liam related, i have also tried braille and CDC using Top (Liams surname) but still nowt. Also tried Amy =(

[cherrytree98765]

Well, Nick replied back, don't know how much it'll help but this is what he said.

[cherrytree98765]

Solved!

Will edit a after a bit on what it was. (Though I feel this was another logic leap)

Though I will say Russell you were almost there XD haha.

As always a few hints for those who wish to solve it themselves

Hint 1:

[Russell]

Now that I would have remembered without the break in gameplay doh good find Cherry!

[cherrytree98765]

[Russell]

[cherrytree98765]

Wow. That I would not have guessed. Great job Russell!

Well I guess I'll send an email though I "really" don't like anything that calls themselves a "collective". And plus they say "Human". Seems a little odd. haha

[Russell]

hehe, I have also emailed them.

Looks like the AI has certainly taken a leap forward =)

[cherrytree98765]

[Russell]

I accepted and welcomed the collective pointing out that earth deservd a second chance not just for humans but whatever called this rock home.

I am presuming it is an AI due to the nature of the language used and that the original code that Nick was working on i seem to remember was self learning although im not sure it was supposed to be self aware.

I think its time for me to reread this whole thread lol

[cherrytree98765]

Mm. Well the code your talking about is for the system that Nick and Maria were trying to destroy, as that was supposed to be the system that choose what missions were in the best area and the people who should be contacted etc.

Also on the part you quoted. That was from Maria when I contacted her. I assumed when that was mentioned it was the ripple effect from me talking to the future. Since I can know the future, I can change the past, so that destroys her future, making people who might have lived from actions I didn't take from future knowledge etc. Typical paradox stuff. XD haha


But yeah, I assumed it was an AI too after the "Human" part. I just know Maria was talking like a human so I became concerned when we seemingly get a message from a machine.

As far as I know, the only tool Maria had at her disposal was the code to insert things into the past that were stored in a prior databank. *Shrugs*

I was just making sure I hadn't missed a very important plot point. haha


Okay then. I just responded kind of stand-off ish. Saying I wasn't just going to be used as a pawn like they seemed to be guiding at. haha. Told them I would work to the collective good, but I would make sure that they were working toward that collective.

Now we just wait and see what replies we get. I'll continue to chat with Nick and maybe seed more to him. It probably won't be that important later on, but I guess it can't hurt. haha

Command choice, Russell! "I, for one welcome our new... overlords" & sent them a lil msg. It was in binary just to see how that gels with their "human" projections.
