 		[SPEC] "Questions" from killer.jpg
Putting this here so it doesn't get lost in the update thread. Could those questions be ones that we, as players, emailed to the ladybee777 account? We /did/ want to know what this thing was... and now it's answering.

 		We may have to match up the questions to answers? So is it worth getting all the questions out of the files?

 		I'd say this sounds like good spec. For example...

Quote:
Question: So what happens on August 24?
If I have a question, I use this mark (?) at the end.

Answers:
I don't know what will happen.
Your revolution comes (?)
I'm really concerned about it.
I can't even begin to make a guess.

love,


Does anyone remember writing "So what happens on August 24?", in those exact words?. I think it is also asking us a question back that we need to answer --- Your revolution comes (?)

It's trying to communicate!

 		Re: Here's one of the images
To me, it seems like Dana has worked out some way of communicating with the AI. She's asked it questions ("So what happens on August 24? If I have a question, I use this mark (?) at the end.)" and it's started talking back. We're seeing transcripts of that in the images. At some point she's got scared, and wants nothing more to do with it, hence the statement on the blog.

ooooo I like that. It makes a lot of sense (for the time being Very Happy ), considering she admitted to playing around with the site last night

 		Does anyone see any variants of killer.jpg others than the ones I'll repost here? If so, could you save them and post them in here too? I can't see the first three; I get the second three, I'm wondering if it's giving out random 404s (grouped in 3s) based on your IP address or something?

I am some kid who wants to get noticed, very clever an instigator an

innocent bystander stored in an airtight container in the deepest and

darkest Sleeping casket in a chamber of the dungeon.

Do you understand this? Whatever you are?


This is coming from the Sleeping Princess, who may or may not be the Operator.

 		killer.jpg
Question:
Are you the Queen?

Answers:
Knock, knock. Hello?
the Queen isn’t an innocent
Dead yet alive the queen's a monstrous verminous bug.
the Queen was wondering how long the Sleeping Princess would keep if
stored in an airtight container. I can only watch from the shadows,
piecing together what I may
Guess I feel the Queen isn't something good
Guess I feel the Queen will be swift and terrible.

Compilation of all the Questions... Can someone host the images so that I can embed the related images into the page?

It seems that we have found all of the questions now. There are 12, a multiple of 3, which makes sense since it seems that each IP range can only see three images. I am in the process of revising the page to group the questions by ip range.

Also, 3 is trademark of Bungie for storyline elements.
