Library of Babel Updates - 12 Jan 2007

The flash pages have been updated, with hidden messages in the flash.

From the LOB front page:

Quote:

With immediate effect, operatives are to cease utilising previous communication method. Security has been breached. This CHannel to be reserved for essential communication only.
Message Ends.

I've taken a quick look, the key has a message on it, numbers at the top and text for the rest, saying something like "we are close"!!!!!

As I posted in the other thread (but thought I ought to chuck it in here too), 08012070645 doesn't work as a UK phone number. Just eliminating a logical (to me at least) explanation for the number!

There is a number on the key, maybe there are several numbers that we had to mod to get a working phone number?

edit:

the number on the key is 12012700533

The left hand text in Arrangements says "n the locations thus produced."

The right hand text says "However there has been no repetition"

Will work on the top and bottom ones, but not sure the resolution is good enough...

If you put the name of the flash after:

http://www.perplexcityacademy.com/libraryofbabel/

Then it should play in the browser window, and you can right click and "zoom". The trick is to zoom into the right place (esp. when the "glitches" are moving around).

eg

OK, I can get *something* out of 2 of the other 3 in Arrangements - see attached.

Looks like the middle one says: "14% (?) fail entirely; 12% (?) give a non-Earth location; 7.3% (?)" Question marks where I'm not 100% certain.

Looks like the bottom one says: "produce internally inconsistent data (?) 07% (?) give a precise location"

3P trying to brute force something or other?

Don't bother...

I already tried that. The messages are saved as images, and the decompiler can't pull them out... Sad

A nice big picture of the key on Pathways. I get the following

Quote:
12012700533 To all Operatives. Project Visor recommendation 2. We believe we are close to a breakthrough. Continue work on ???. We shall keep you appraised


Just can't make out that one word. And what do they mean by "We will keep you appraised ?? Beats me!!

So does this mean the 3P have hacked into CT's messages?

We're doomed.

I think it's probably the other way round....
