I hope you read Countdown. It kinda fills in the gaps. They don't go into alot of detail on Nero's backstory. GREAT movie though. Enjoy Casey.

Thanks! And yeah I've read Countdown. And since my financee isn't really into comics, I've filled her in on the plot of Countdown so she's ready too. Smile

A seemingly random twitter user, @AmdStal tweeted a link to a frame from the vulcan transmission video tonight.

Sharp eyes (mine Very Happy ) noticed a QR code in the lower right of the image, and kitty noticed the other half in the upper left. Put together, it looks like this:

Dougrass decoded the message to say "DIONE:B-F". Dione is a moon of Saturn.

Please post if you can make anything of these new clues.

DIONE:B-F, eh? Well based on our previous mental exercises... if we take A=1, B=2, ... F=6, we have DIONE:2-6. From our previous example, we know DIONE has 5 letters. Thus, we put the DIONE:B-F QR code at coordinate (2, 6-5), that is (2, 1).

What's next then? The other major Saturnian moons include
MIMAS, ENCELADUS, and TETHYS are inner major moons with DIONE. (If we're facing another combination of 4 QR codes.)

RHEA, TITAN (major Trek connection), IAPETUS and weird HYPERION are the 4 major outer moons...

These were primarily discovered by CASSINI, HUYGENS and HERSCHEL.

A good reference if this is where we're headed is:

Another possibility is that B and F are hexadecimal digits. In hex A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15. So, maybe it's DIONE:11-15. That works out to (2,15-5) or (2,10) if I understand the formula properly.

Maybe the reference to a moon of Saturn is reference to the new movie... I don't want to spoiler it...

And so Leonard Nimoy guest stars on the season finale of Fringe on 5/12/09. Guess I'll have to watch for some sort of tie in. I know everything's well in the can, but wouldn't it be great to spot in the background a drawing of a sheep.....

A sheep! A sheep! A Kingdom for a sheep! Smile

P.S. If the Paramount people are reading this here, I won't look for a lawyer or fight copyright wars if you use my Sheep. Feel free to use it in all JJ Abrams productions, it's open sheep.

I had a weird Idea... what if these QR codes are for the location of the Narada? What if she's hiding at DIONE? Far enough away from Vulcan Sensors but near enough to Earth to stop any help or maybe our warpflight? What if the Narada was torn into the past and Nero decided to stop the Earth from becoming a major player in the universe and ultimately help to form the Federation?

Here is an IRC Client set-up to use #arg on Tom's server.

http://startrek.wikibruce.com/images/d/d3/TinyIRC.zip

1. Extract the TinyIRC folder on to your desktop
2. Use the TinyIRC icon inside the folder to start.
3. Once the program is open press Alt+C (or navigate the menu to quick connect).
4. In the new box change your Nickname and then hit the connect button.


Or you can use Chatzilla the Firefox addon (if your want to use firefox) and simple type "irc:ceres.irc.tvdw.eu#arg" into the address bar and push enter.

How can I setup Chatzilla? It cannot find ceres server.

Btw, I've just got an email from Cobra Snake.
I asked him for a while (actually, on 26. April) about a barcode on all these Star Trek posters (it is now solved, btw, it was just that Nokia mobil web page).

Anyway, after all the time he answers me:

Quote:
hey those posters are going for lots of money on ebay..
theres a secret barcode in the corner of the poster super cool
c


(c) is perhaps for Cobra.
Do we know, whether this page is ingame, or they just helped our PMs with spreading the hints? And does this reply after all the weeks mean something important for a game, of just they answered my question (both possibilities are cool) Smile

Should work Kosmo. I just put irc:ceres.irc.tvdw.eu in the address bar and it connects, add #arg to the end and it will auto join the channel also. Instead of http://, the addon uses irc:

"DIONE:B-F" is a gamejack, folks.

Given that good people wasted their time trying to figure it out, I'm quite disappointed with those who are perpetuating it.

Weird... I get the error:
