Okay, posting from compy now. First off, don't know if Lu got one but mine came with a stickytaped note:

Quote:
Attn: AGENT 010

New code wheel provided. Please confirm receipt in 96
hours or code will be invalidated.

Upon receipt, proceed to primary target location and
await instruction.

Destroy note and packaging using standard security
protocols.

- Central Command


In light grey, on the bottom right, is "DSN115-UIY1139-010"

Pics!
Code wheel atop the envelope in which I received it. Note that apparently I'm only worth 94 cents! Sad
Closer picture of code wheel with note still stickied to it.
Same view of wheel with note removed.
Higher resolution of above.

I got ahead of myself - the files are apparently still uploading.

ETA: They should all be fine now. Also, on close inspection of Lu's scan and my wheel, they look the same.

Some notes on the symbols:

The chinese zodiac symbols seem to each cover a sector 3 smaller-sectors wide. They're bordered by thicker lines.

Each alchemical symbol seems to be centred on a particular co-ordinate.

The LB letters sit at the top of each line - the Umbrati letters sit at the top of each gap.

Wow. This is cool, and very complicated looking. Are people working on this in IRC? If so, what's the name again?

I can't figure what we're supposed to do with the constellations. Like Lex said, the symbols and characters all fall on, or between, the lines. The constellations are spread out in each sector, however, so it's hard to find where exactly to line them with the outer symbols.

For example, in the case of Sagittarius 07, in today's code, which star in it should be matched to the 7?

On this website all zodiac signs are related to one planet.

Here is the list:
Aires - Mars
Taurus - Venus
Gemini - Mercury
Cancer - Moon
Leo - Sun
Virgo - Mercury
Libra - Venus
Scorpio - Pluto
Sagittarius - Jupiter
Capricorn - Saturn
Aquarius - Uranus
Pisces - Neptune

So it is possible to substitute the zodiac signs with a planet and we have dedicated positions for the planets.

I'm in the process of making a flat version of the sequencer wheel. Here's what I have so far. I'm in the process of adding the translations, but thought I'd post in case it helps anyone.

Corrected Sequencer Wheel Letters

Ok here is a corrected translation of the sequencer wheel (there were a few errors on Lu's scan) in rtf (if you have the fonts installed) or png (if you just want to look).

EDIT: Uploaded new version to fix MY errors! The order is going clockwise from Lu's blue reference point line.
