 4 Keys Picture Analysis

I tried all I could think of concerning the picture:

-I postrized it to 2 layers and got 4 colors; white, yellow, red, black; but they didn't work

-I cut out every other line...nothing

-I cut the OTHER lines...still nothing

-I even went ahead and used the changes by threshold level to make a simple 3D image...turns out it's (most likely) just a peice of fabric ranging from a deep dark red to a high yellow with a few...I guess you could call it ripples

good practice but a waste of time

2 things I found which may or may not be helpful:

1) If you open the png file in notepad, there is a Photoshop tag near the beginning. May have to use a Photoshop filter or something to find the answer

2) If you zoom in on the png (400% or so), you can see a few pixels that are discolored relative the surrounding area. It is halfway down the image, and almost all the way over to the right. I didn't see anything else similar in the rest of the image.

I think the picture is a red herring. Found a note in the forum there posted by Ariana (I'm new to this game so forgive me if I don't know her exact status.)
"My brothers, after many long hours and 1,000 credits lost I know more details about the keys we seek. If you look close all 4 can be found in Deus City."

With that as a clue, I took a look around and noticed this.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

There are at least 2 things in the grey district that have the word "key" in them, both involving other puzzles, and the word key is mentioned in a news item.


If I can find a fourth related key, I might try some guesses. Here are my guesses for the three I know.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

turnkey, answer (key), Peace

Well I just lost 100 credits. These are not the Four Keys:

passkey
turnkey
wall
four keys

I went with puzzles involving the word "key."

Then I lost another 100 credits trying for news articles using the word "key"; specifically what followed that word. So this didn't work either:

life
peace
figure
rooting

Just received a clue from Brother Theo . . . gonna spoiler it just in case.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Search the news feeds.
Search the tasks on both sides.
Search yourselves and ask "what's in a name?".

The implication, to me, is that there's one key hidden in the news feed, one hidden in a White District task, one hidden in a Grey District task, and one hidden amongst the Agents.

All I've found is the Supreme Neutrality news story, Passkey and Turnkey in the Districts, and an Agent called Mokey in the Agent listing. Passkey/Turnkey/Supreme Neutrality/Mokey doesn't work, and neither does Pass/Turn/Supreme Neutrality/Mo. I'm wondering if maybe Peace could be substituted for Supreme Neutrality but I'm running low on credits. Sigh.


Anyway, there you go. Juicy!

I know the fourth key....

(At least I think I do...)

Hint:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's someone who has posted on the forums at the Brotherhood, and author of a Book of Knowledge.




If you want to see what I've tried and hasn't worked:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

passkey
turnkey
peace
enoch

passkey
turnkey
peace key
enoch

pass
turn
peace
enoch
*edit this don't work either
passkey
turnkey
neutrality
enoch


Maybe someone else can give it a try....
*edit
And I think Brother Theo was responding to my earlier post on the forum asking how I can help the Brotherhood... (I also sent him an email and he replied with
"Theophilus says: Find the three names of the Brotherhood and you will know what to do."

Theophilus has left us another message on the Brotherhood forums, which presumably relates to this task:

Theophilus wrote:
Matthew 7:8


Matthew 7:8 is "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

ARGH! And still no response from Ariana. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get a response and know if I'm on the right track or what, but this is getting frustrating.
