Just to make the point till now

we got the shreded scraps from debris field in Building 32 and the document about mkratio on p.smith desk (the ex CEO) in building one.

about the timeline that we can get from the documents
- ??/??/1995 -- second video from a tech demo in switzerland
- 14/08/1995 -- document with the transcript of a phone conversation beetween J.Miller and somebody about the idea of creating self-replicating bots, taken by R.Kowlan
- 03/10/1995 -- notes about the MKRATIO project
- 11/11/2005 -- piece of a newsletter

So:
- from the first document we know that they are experimenting with the bots since 7 months so from january 1995
- in the second document they talk about the developing of a new AI model for the drones, the project will last at least to december 1998
- from the newsletter we know that the mine is working without humans since 5 years (so from the 2000 and not from the 1998....) and that the demolitors teaam will try to shut off the mine the next week, so always in november 2005.On more it seems that always in november 2005 something happened to the position of Shimura (the leader of the AI developing) in the company

By the way, the Descent saga started in 1995 with Descent and stopped in 1998 with Descent 3....maybe just a coincidence....

What we have to do??
While we wait i think that we still got the first strange picture (the autovert_s.gif) and this all grey picture now in the homepage connector.gif that has alt="fade to this".....
Any idea??

Checking the Hex in the connector.gif file and there is something there. I am at work and I cannot desteg the file. anyone else able to?

Although upon consideration... can a .gif have hidden info in it?

In the main page source there are two map links and one to a linux question. I don't see how they are relevant to anything in the game though.

"Found on 13th floor, building 33. Apparently the marketing division..."
and we also learn that the ad was created before december '98 with a plan to roll out AI in Q3 of 1999.

There also seems to be some disagreement as to whether this model is called BD-56 or BD-59

As far as what needs to be done... so far we havent made any progress on the autovert_s.gif image(at least nothing that I have seen). Otherwise, I dont know if any one has fired off an email to the address listed above, but I am going to try now.

Edit: Something tells me that they werent happy with the proposed drone model... (o:

Sorry for the double post, but I thought it would be easier for everyone if I posted the new image that was found.
