So I was over at the Zion Switchboard Discussion for this whole thing, and someone mentioned www.metacortechs.com/avery.swf

So I went, and it's the same version of the tiny flickering picture that comes up on the metacortex website when you look up Avery. But much bigger.

So I figures, what the hell, and I take a snapshot of it because I hadn't seen a good picture of it anywhere. So here it is (attached, because I lack webspace). I throw it out there, to see what you can make of it.

Image alterers... alter away!

Take a look at the The Matrix Conspiracy Archives, under Art. It suggests a woman's face, after some altering.

Heh, no problem. I'm trying to narrow down my sites, too - that's a good one, for example, but the "Down the Rabbit Hole" site, for example, hasn't been updated since Thursday. Just let us know if you see anything we haven't covered on one of the other billion sites out there (!).

(Except for the matrixreloaded site, that's my other main hangout.)

I decompiled the flash (sorry, I'm lame - I don't know if it matters if it's a true frame or not). I can't host it either, so I'll attach.

Anyway, I "negatived" it, "grayscaled it", rotated it - it looked like the thing on the right could be a postal barcode. Probably not, though - line heights vary too much.

Then I heard somebody say "thermal", and it triggered light spectrum.
If you filter light through a prism, it looks vaguely similar to the shape on the right, depending on which gas the light is passing through (different gases absorb different light "spectra"). Doubt that that's what it is either, though.

But I do think there has to be something in there.

P.S. Hi, Chinghis

fyi every.swf is the actual image that flashes up, the main flash file at metacortechs points to an xml on the site document which lists the usernames and all information, including which flash file is used for their photo thumbnail.

Am I going to be *underslept* tomorrow?

Anyway - that's the one I decompiled - from the .xml link.

I saw this: http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~mlpatter/matrix/StaticImage.jpg
and it seems to be a pretty good match. In which case, Avery looks to be 40-50 years old - kinda young to have been a CEO of a "largest software corporation" (or whatever Metacortex claims themselves to be) for some number of years, but anything is possible.

But, it seems to me that the missing people should be the ones that escaped the matrix - there are actually even some stories on that subject at the official site. However, according to Morpheus, they have to be rather young. Is that a problem? The missing girl seems to be within the age range...

The girl is probably too old too. Remember that Neo was technicly "too old" to be brought out, and they only did it because they thought he was the one.

Speaking of the girl, Metacortex-Conspiracy has this comparison shot up:-

That flash creeped me out!! And maybe that's why I'm now switching over: it does not look like Trinity. On top of that, Trinity has been missing for how many years? The last picture "they" have of her should have been taken a long time ago, when Trinity would have been much younger than the missing girl.

And Carrie Ann Moss has a thing about her nose.

That's the giveaway.
