Just can't make out that one word.


Looks like it might be "Visor"...

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


Not necessarily - CT may have been able to intercept some of the 3P comms, and this is his/her way of leaking them to us to update us on their progress. (And, quite possibly, breakthrough in cube retrieval...)

"keep you appraised" is formal language for "keep you up to date".

Yeah, I did; it's a Cingular Wireless voice mailbox center -- you need a mailbox # (and probably the mailbox's password) to hear messages.

The message on Letters is as follows

Quote:
Recommendations:

1) We are continuing to refine and refocus our systems. We believe we may be getting closer.

2) Imperative that investigations continue in the city. Someone knows

Apologies in advance for the double post. I'm not sure if this message is new or if I have just not seen it before but I will post this anyway.

Doesn't mean anything to me but I have a feeling it is related to the flying entry on LOB.

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"


I make it out as:
Quote:
66% have a margin of error of more than 1000 miles; 14% fail entirely; 12% give a non-Earth location; 7.3% produce internally inconsistent data; 0.7% give a precise location.

However there has been no repetition in the locations thus produced.

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

Quote:

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


OK it says "12012700533 To all Operatives. Project Visor recommendation 2. We believe we are close to a breakthrough. Continue work on Visor. We shall keep you appraised"

continueworkonvisorweshallkeepyouappraised is on the actual KEY it is 42 letters long. THIS is what i believe is the key to our puzzle,

The correct word is apprised. But on the image it clearly says appraised. Ah well. Unless it's a kloo.

Have updated the Wiki's [URL=http://perplexcitywiki.com/wiki/Library_of_Babel]Library of Babel[/URL] page to include the text known so far, and created a collated, ordered set of the messages for easy reading:

i dont know if its obvious or not buut i thought the number string before the project visor messages was just the perplex city date and time. For example, "12012700533" 12/01/270 time 05.33 Rolling Eyes
I think...

you MUST be right about the number strings being dates. that means the Wiki is out of order (even with the 207 v. 270)lol.

A lot of this has been said already, but i'm going to go over everything I have just to make sure I don't miss anything. I did not find anything on only two of the LOB animations, Realize and Dissolution... but I do not have a decompiler to be sure.

LOB Update: (My comments) "Actual text"

Main:
"05012072213 With immediate effect, operatives are to cease utilizing previous communications method. Security has been breached. This channel to be reserved for essential communication only. Message ends."

Waking:
"Hypothesise that these are caused by unpredictable meteorological differences. Several thousand readings have been taken of which"
"08012070645 To all operatives / Project Visor status report. have encountered radical difficulties."

Realize:
(nothing new yet)

Dissolution:
(nothing new yet)

Arrangements:
(Horizontal)
"66% have a margin of error of more than 1000 miles; 14% fail entirely; 12% give a non-Earth location; 7.3% produce internally inconsistent data; 0.7% give a precise location."
(Vertical)
"However there has been no repetition in the locations thus produced."

Letters:
"Recommendations: 1) We are continuing to refine and refocus our systems. We believe we may be getting close.r 2) Imperative that investigations continue in the city. Someone knows."
(In the word 'close.r' the period is actually between the e and the r)

Ticks:
(edited: nothing new yet.)

Pathways:
(Found on the new grey key which does not fall like the others, but fades away)
"12012700533 To all operatives Project Visor recommendation 2. We believe we are close to a breakthrough continue work on Visor. We shall keep you appraised."

Flying:
(The letters A and B are missing from the bottom of a few lines in the first part of the animation. Where an X or a Y would be in the words, those lines are missing the A and B below them.)
