The "boomerang" password was just found early be decompiling the .swf[/quote]

Thanks. Clears that up for me. I guess we need to figure out the purpose of the.76 site now?

 		what wiki says on the nebula
Quote:
The Boomerang Nebula (also called the Bow Tie Nebula[2]) is a protoplanetary nebula located 5,000 light-years away from Earth in the Centaurus constellation. The nebula was - remembering we see it as it appeared 5,000 years ago - at 1 Kelvin, the coldest place known outside a laboratory. The Boomerang Nebula was formed from the outflow of gas from a star at its core. The gas was moving outwards at a speed of about 164 km/s and expanded rapidly as it moved out into space. This expansion was the cause of the nebula's very low temperature.

The Boomerang Nebula was photographed in detail by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1998. It is believed that the nebula is a star or stellar system evolving toward the planetary nebula phase.

Keith Taylor and Mike Scarrott called it the 'Boomerang Nebula' in 1980 after observing it with the Anglo-Australian telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory. Unable to see the detail that only Hubble can reveal, the astronomers saw merely a slight asymmetry in the nebula's lobes, suggesting a curved shape like a boomerang. The high-resolution Hubble images indicate that the 'Bow Tie Nebula' would perhaps have been a better name
and the pic of it show the nebula as all blue......

Also, in the source there is a URL for http://www.akqa-staging.com/topsecret.xml which seems to keep the messages that the flash file shows. Going to http://www.akqa-staging.com/ seems like a very suspicious site.

EDIT: Upon further searching it looks like Akqa is the company that is running all of this "arg".

Im not sure if this will be relavant or not, but Robert Burns is not listed on AKQA.com as a member of the company (at least not a ranking member).

Also, the only location that matches one from the .76 site is New York.

Hope this is somewhat useful.

No, you're right. There are other pictures of the nebula. This one, for instance, is the one they used http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/astrophotos.html Scroll down to find it Smile

Steady-state = 15 stars left. The other stars actually wink out again and again.

Still trying to figure out the changing numbers next to each location.

 		yeah, i was just about to tell you that there are all bule and colored in pics of the boomerang nebula. Side point of intrest, it's the coldest known place in the universe (about 1 kelven). isn't that ideal for flood hibernation?
at first i thought the image had the glyph in it, but now i see all the pics show that.

the symbols are random, and i have the page open as well. I have one with locations up with 24 stars, and the other with the text box and 12 stars.

Also, i dont know if its just a coincidence, but one star is right next to Los Angeles like a bullet point. Hope it helps.

 		From looking at the boomerang nebula, I see 1 color not represented in the server bots. the bright red color is not present and I believe server 5 will be bright red.

Edit: I take that back. at work I thought the server 04 was purple but it's closer to bright red. so maybe server 05 will be purple.
