The manual override was instituted at 07:29:49-rec/manualoverride/beta/delos/7

However in 2003100806.jpg 07:29:36 ---the status on Delos has gone from gray to yellow. (offline to caution)

at 07:29:51 the delos status goes offline again

at 07:29:55 the delos is still offline

at 07:30:00 the delos status is yellow.

I do not understand why the system goes from offline to caution at :36 before the manualoverride time. The move to caution must have meant that the system closed the door....then why did the system go offline again?

Something must be missing from the logs...

There's been much speculation on the times of the control panel shots and the log and some concern about the changing status of the Delos Light.

I might have a simple answer.

I was just looking through the status screen using a picture viewer. I just hit next (in the viewer) and it shows the next one, cycling at the end back to the start.

As I clicked, I noticed the Status light for Delos was flashing.

Suppose these were photos of a physical control panel with a flashing light. Snapshots at different times would show the light On or Off, a still picture can't capture a flashing light.

Yellow (or Amber) could indicate the status, but perhaps the light also flashers to draw your attention to it. The status wasn't changing, it was always amber, just flashing amber. Like a Traffic Light.

Hi, maybe I've got 1 or 2 ideas.
I read the thread and I think i got most of it, but it's late and I'm tired and it's been a long day, so please don't bug me on details, thx. Very Happy

1st Idea:
was the breach ever explicitly refered to as hull breach(i.e. water breaking in)?
What if it was a security breach(e.g. motion detection/manual alarm)?

Which directly leads us to the
2nd Idea:
this was no break out or break in, it was an attack by a rebel group from Zion.
We've seen similar attacks in the movies, well timed, coordinated actions, precise to the second, blocked secutiry doors, power grid sabotage, it's all there.

The word "lobby" ran a bell, as reference to the legendary shootout in the lobby in Marix 1. So the
3rd Idea:
It was a rescue (attempt), maybe John Avery was (is) held captive here..

4th Idea:
.. and searched (and found) help through paintover.net?

So, what do you think? Too far out?

I think I should take a nap,
Cheers,
Mac

I did wonder if this was somehow tied in to the hacking going on at the Aquapolis Web site (unlikely as this is hosted at USH in the US).

But I decided it might be nice to find out what we were doing at the time - Establish an Alibi if you like.

These are the closest relevant post I could find (though I didn't look too hard)

Somebody Broke The Game - The Game's Back on - Wed Oct 08, 2003 7:21 am (GMT+2)

The Carelessly Files - Back Up - Wed Oct 08, 2003 7:19 am (GMT+2)

This of course assumes that the times in the log indicate the time at the Aquapolis rather than some remote monitor at Metacortex.

I like Yanka�s theory about an escape (-attempt?) - Or, as Marl suggests, some kind of hack "pretending" to be a breach, flood, whatever...

Aquapolis is a location which I think will be of increasing interest to us.
I�ve posted a simple mov (Quicktime) of my rendering of AP from the pics at www.grantschair.dk/Aquapolis01a.mov
- some remarks on that: Of course the pics are schematic and therefore not necessarily to any scale.
I have assumed they more or less are, and set a level spacing of 5 meters (a little too much maybe). This creates the main modules, which aren�t, in this interpretation, spherical, but more diamond-shaped.
But - in the AP website it says "spherical", and this is also the most logical shape for underwater construction, as it takes water pressure well.
So if the pics are anywhere near scale this means thas some floors are unaccounted for in the incident logs...
This possibility is supported by the fact that they claim to have 500 rooms, but only some 350 are accounted for in the pics. with about 50 rooms per level, that leaves us with three levels missing.

What is in the left-out levels?

Wedge - I may be a bit thick, but I don�t understand what you mean.
Could you clarify?
