Doesn't look it. But they're having a blast keeping us hanging it seems.

My memory isn't what it used to be. Can anyone tell me if the following text (from the secret maze at http://thewaytheirworldended.com/Q7J8R04J87FFJ983Q2/) is new today?

Quote:
HI AGAIN! :@) I HAVE ANOTHER PART OF MY STORY TO SHARE, AND I WANT TO HIDE IT HERE, BUT I CAN'T WHEN YOU-KNOW-WHO IS AROUND - SO I FOUND A TINY LITTLE HOLE TO SQUEEZE THROUGH, ENOUGH THAT I CAN SEND YOU HINTS AFTER IT FALLS ASLEEP. SO BE READY! I HOPE YOU FIND ALL THE PIECES BEFORE IT WAKES UP AGAIN, HEEHEE!


Edit: Wow, ninja'd again! Mad Laughing

I answered:

For Melissa, no. And even though it was thought to be a game, it still touched all involved very deeply.
For history, however, it may have been ascribed more importance than it seems to have been. It (and this) have been massively overlooked.


Thoughts?

If we had thought the whole thing was real, we might have sacrificed the process by which we re-formed Melissa into a whole, because in order to do so, we had to instruct someone to activate a Forerunner artifact.

By activating it, we alerted the Covies to the location of Earth. Oops.

(er, I should clarify, we had to get it *de*-activated, but it still emitted a huge old signal, sealing our doooooooooooooom)

It seems at the moment, we still have to wait:

 		So we wait for her to tell us when they're ready.

In the meantime, there were several messages from intimation/Sys about classified data.
Quote:
>>Sys:Log//Based on my analysis, my directive thus far remains intact. I continue to secure data determined as classified by SWP.

>>Sys:Log//I can only follow the guidelines set forth in SWP to determine what recovered data is safe and what must be classified, secured.

>>Sys:Log//I must, however, continue to ensure that temporal data flagged as classified, archived through weekly maintenance, remains secure


Are these just the pages we get at the end of the active period (like the one below) that results of Sys' research? Hmm, we didn't get one of those this week, did we? I'm wondering if there are some files yet to be found.

o TrojaN o, that SYS/4890-73F8-9URO-HCB7/ page was from a couple of weeks ago.

 		so Sys is withholding information from us... makes sense i guess since we're withholding from it Confused

Edit: heres this weeks one, from the notes archive http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SYS/123O-U5Y2-9846-MBEE/
its still talking about '541-p' , could be that they thought the flood was killed by the events of halo 3 and now its coming back? doesnt make sens tho cause i thought the flood was supposed to react instantaneously...

 		As for the secret maze i was looking through it the other day and found some of the new nodes in there.
They give an address that can be reached from the starting node where the notes are found, they go to paragraphs of encoded text that appears to be encoded with base64

spent half a day and found this much the decoded text still seems to be corupted but some can be understood
it seems to be personal information for the crew of the ship as parts of it mention there names: Sheridan higgins Pandora

(see text file for the info! sorry, it was breaking the page and making it difficult to read and navigate - krystyn)

 		Hey Left-center,

I went ahead and put the info you found into a text file and attached it to your post, as the long text strings were stretching the page and were difficult to read. I was worried about breaking the lines, so I thought this might be the easiest solution.

Yay new node stuff, though!

 		I've got a current list of all data (Including PathLocks and their decoded results) up at http://sites.google.com/site/anaerin/results-1

Hopefully this'll help some. It's the last check I'm going to be able to do for a while, though, as it's bed-time for me. Smile

I think at the moment we're waiting for a "Go" message to start on the Maze. I'm thinking, however, that Essy is decoding the "Classified" data for us. She said in her message that she has to work "Bit by bit", and it seems the classified data is being decoded in bits. So perhaps that's what we're going to get.

Incidentally, I generated that path list with an intelligent script that retrieved and walked the node tree automatically (NOB RUTEF ORCING!), going out and grabbing the necessary block and decoding it when there is a "Pathlock" present. It does take a LONG while to spider the tree, however, and I've manually limited it to 5 levels (Hence the "Visited a total of 6857 nodes" at the top). The important part, however, seems to be the "Memory Location" of each entry. There are a (small) number of those (103), most of which are repeats.
