 		yup, welcome euphdon - it was noticed earlier today and mentioned in the takebackthefuture.com thread, here. We try to keep discussions in their relevent threads... look for any thread in "CF with Potential" with the [SCC] tag in the title.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Will them being cautious about these threats or possible hoaxes as they're calling it alter the future and prevent Jacob Gustar's death? It will be interesting to see what will happen in this matter.

 		here's my connection guess. note how the row positions do line up. I'm guessing, if the 4 pieces are meant to join, the 4th will connect on all 3 sides. Fold the three on the creases, then the 4th piece will fill the hole of the pyramid.

just a guess.

 		new blog - http://enitechlabs.com/blog/?p=90

miiiiiiiiike!

clues to the diagrams:
(only spoiled for a short while due to the newness of the video)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the symbols look like neural network diagrams to Mike - A University of Toronto musician created a predictive algorhythm to write Miles Davis music. Give it 9 notes, and it gives you the 10th with 99% accuracy (or 1% blue-screen Razz)

Mike. he was such a good man.

Reminds me more of a state diagram or a neural network.

Woohoo, I may have called something correctly for once! Smile



So, if this does represent a neural network, it would appear then that the symbols from NY and LA show parts of the input layer and the TX one shows the output. No idea how we'd use this yet. Nine inputs per Mike's suggestion would suggest one more triangle with input layer data (if it has three inputs on it like the other two).

Wish they'd hurry up and process the FL image. I don't really concur with thebruce's layout, so I'm anxious to see what we get from the FL image. what's odd is that NY and LA triangles have lines leading off both sides, which would require more than just one more image to make a truly complete larger diagram.

 		agreed euchre (that was done before the latest video mind you ;o)... if the 9 part input is right, and we're forming a 2D diagram, then only 1 piece should have 2-side-connections as the other 2 would form the corner section.
Which means either 4 pieces and disjointed connections or some alternate view of the pieces (mirro? transparency? reflection?), or 9 pieces (3 input pieces with 3 base circles each) and at least one unconnected side (as two 'input' pieces are 2-side-connections).

sounds complicated. I don't think we have enough info to form (or begin to form) an accurate diagram yet. Confused

 		It's a bit late for this now but Dr Bentley sent me a response to my Facebook message telling them to be careful:

Quote:
Thanks for the warning Timony. We'll keep our eyes open. Tomorrow morning I'll talk to the security staff at our building about the issue.


I guess he shouldn't have waited until morning.

 		What About "Bill"...?
We haven't really discussed this individual that much in the forums--perhaps "he" has been extensively covered in chat sessions... If so, please forgive me.

I can't shake the fact that it was Bill who initially recovered the NY camera. According to the only description of Bill, he looks a lot like the guy you chased Anna and Mike, and who (we just saw) killed Miked.

(I'm not "spoiler-ing" that last bit since the latest video has been up for a bit...)

This would seem to present a couple options. If Bill is a terminator, then we need to ask who sent him? The resistance? Skynet? (Sorry for the OOG knowledge just applied).

If Skynet sent him, then can we trust the fact that he delivered the NY camera to us? On the other hand, if Tech-Comm sent him--meaning he's a reprogrammed terminator--then what was his purpose when he first appeared to Anna and Mike? Also, what would that imply about him killing Mike? Was that his ultimate mission from the resistance?

There's a lot about Bill that we need to parse.

 		I went ahead and sent a letter to that feedback e-mail address at the end of the video. It seems most people are working on this code, and since I'm still learning the ways of code-monkeying, I'd rather concentrate on something that I can handle. Here's the transcript, I'm still waiting on an answer however.

Quote:

I won't take much of your time, but a few thoughts had occurred to me. First of all, how is access to your facility gained? Is there a keycard lock/system in place? Is there just a regular old lock? And most importantly, was the door locked at the time of the incident? This was obviously the same perpetrator that attempted to attack Anna at the sight of the first package drop, or another individual working for the same organization, but I don't think the police will do anything about this. You need to be careful about who you talk to and what you do from here on in. Please respond as soon as possible.

With Regards,
Michael

 		Re: What About "Bill"...?
If I'm not mistaken, we still don't know if the whole Bill/Zoltan thing was truly an IG occurrence or if Zoltan is just role playing on his own and fabricated the story as well as giving the name Bill when he picked up the camera. If Zoltan winds up shot I guess we'll know for sure. Wink

By the time I had finished this message, I got a response.

Quote:
We use an electronic keycard system and yes, the building automatically locks up after 6:30pm. Investigators are still working to figure out exactly how and why the intruder gained access without force.


I replied with the following:

Quote:
I don't mean to step on the investigative toes at work here, but if you have the time I have a few more questions. If there is an electronic lock in place, based on keycard access, and there was no force used in entry... is the lock still in place? Or was it somehow disabled? Also, The red glowing eyes of the killer are the same red glowing eyes of the man who made an attempt on Anna so long ago now. I doubt he or she is going to match up with local law enforcement's descriptions of perpetrator's for any other local crimes, especially given the distinct nature of his outfit and the unlikelihood of this being a random incident. I think, though I am not an expert, that whomever is tracking you down is tracking you down specifically and for a very important reason. Perhaps a religious extremist who doesn't like you 'tampering' with the future? Perhaps part of a terrorism ring? Or maybe something far more sinister. I'm am generally hesitant to suggest the supernatural, but the way this man moves and gets around quickly, you could have a supernatural entity on your hands. Sounds ridiculous? So does a camera that can see the future, in theory. But it's when you dig a little deeper that things become more clear.

I've taken up enough of your precious time. Just two more quick questions. With whom am I speaking? And more importantly, what can I do to assist? I've been working on the code but to no avail, as I'm not great with codebreaking, but I wish to assist in any way possible.

Mike


It'll be probably a solid few minutes, if not more, before I get a response, but hopefully I can continue this whole discussion and make a little progress on a front other than the code side of things.
