Great work you guys. Sorry I couldn't be there to help.

I knew yall would whup this one out of the park before i could get back online!
who knew that the morse code translator i ran it through would be so close?? I figured the dots and dashes that it was translating the wav into were due to the fact that the software wasnt set up right or couldnt translate. *eye roll*
oh well...
good job guys.
ncfriend.

Man, and I tried so hard to be gender-neutral on the wiki. It's hard. I ended up assuming R169 was a guy because all of those "they"s were getting really hard to follow.
Should I switch to hir/zie? *laugh*

I don't know when we could try the password. Skype says R169 hasn't been online (READ: available to contact) since the sixth of February...

20 minutes left. Hopefully it won't be as bad as last nights seems to be.
Anyway, I'd say that R169 won't be on Skype for some time now, so don't expect any contact soon.

Well, now it's back to normal, although the background image has changed to 2.
The source code says....

Back to the DDoS. make up your mind PM's!

Participants should be warned external forces are trying to compromise the integrity of project Ophiuchus.

And in Photoshop it says that the file is corrupted, and there is a bar at the bottom which shows a part of the middle of the image again.
