ghost.713 appears to be the entity being quarentined (pardon my spelling).
Notice that after the SECURE part, it says qghost.713
Is anyone familiar with how a spyware removal program or virus protection program quarentines something? Is it similar to renaming the file and moving it to a new location?
I just thought of Norton Ghost but...

Makes you wonder if every AI is equipped with a Norton Antivirus instead of an Assault Rifle.

Considering they don't have limbs it would be a good replacement.

An antivirus quarantine works by isolating the virus (or if that's not possible, the infected file/files) and moving them to a special location where they can't do any damage. This is usually done by not allowing them to read/write to anything, including the RAM, hard disk, and any other storage medium.

So the ghost713 is what was found - the pulse and the life. And the answer to what AR does when it finds life is to quarantine it? (not sure how the ghost713 has veins of ice and poison, unless that is AR filling the ghost713 with whatever it is to quarantine it?
So is AR asking the quarantined ghost713 to wait for it?
Yeah, I'm trying to put both posts together. It seems that they should maybe even be one long post with a time delay in between?
And Melissa had the spyder, which would have worked had it not been so damaged by the crash. Also, she had us...looking at it that way - maybe we needed the anti-spyware. Not to mention Durga. She needed it.
Stupid flea.

Second AR Message: Veins of Ice and Poison I just thought of something.
Maybe the ghost.713 thing is the last day of E3, and that we will get a trailer by the name of Ghost on 7/13/07, the last day of E3, because that is what the PM's were probably waiting for.

That's already been said. It's probably a good idea for any new people who decide to join in to read through things before posting again.

Veins of Ice and Poison sounds poetic.
What could that be?
Posting now before I forget, even though I haven't finished reading the thread... at the risk of possibly trouting. Oh well, if I get to the end of the thread and see this's been SPECed before, I can always edit the silly thing...
Veins of Ice and Poison, if we look at it from an astronomical perspective, could mean rock permeated with seams (veins) of frozen H
2
0 (water ice) and HCN (cyanide poison), both of which would be common on comets or carbonacious chondrite asteroids. I immediately thought of the asteroid 7 Iris mentioned in other SPEC here but it's currently believed to be nickel-iron. That may have veins of ice and hydrogen cyanide, but it'd be tough to tell.
-- Steve'll keep an eye out for other possible interpretations.

Have lurked around for a while and finally have something to say.
In my interpretation, if you take the first part of the message line by line:
|n|n|nROGUE PROCESS ghost.713>
*whatever has taken over AR has found ghost.713 (where 713 refers to sector)
X.XX.713 POS/NAV @ 53LPH54.6JG62.1740 1......... - took brackets out so it should hopefully work
*move to sector 713 at the position stated, 1 quarantine to do hence the 1 and then the dots are the waiting while it is doing it
X X5 > CONFIRM SECURE QUARANTINE - > qghost.713
*move to new quarantine sector, now quarantined ghost.
Also dont know if there is any significance but if you look up the letters as acronyms (bolded ones are the ones that stand out to me):

Some more SPEC to follow up yours.
Look at the end of line 1 and the start of line 2:
ghost.713
X.XX.713
I think the "X.XX" is something like an IP address for "ghost", though I guess it's hidden, or is a mask for a block of addresses - all addresses that fit into #.## - or something.
Lines 2 and 3 start with "SomeText >". I think the SomeText refers to the subject or speaker for that line. So on line 2 "X.XX.713" means the line is telling us about X.XX.713, or ghost.713. And on line 3, "X X5" would mean that "X X5" is the process that is confirming ghost.713's quarantine and renaming as qghost.713.
X X5 renamed ghost.713 to qghost.713, but we should still be able to identify [q]ghost.713 by it's X.XX.713 format.
Perhaps someday we'll have to contact ghost.713 / AR.
