Resending NAVHIST path line.

Start at the beginning of the maze here: http://thewaytheirworldended.com/Q7J8R04J87FFJ983Q2/

At each 'node' in the maze, select the indicated vector, in order:

PK
RD
JJ
QN
NR

At that last node, you'll see the new 'anomaly.' Our task seems to be to tell the S3 subroutine (via twitter) where in the maze these anomalies are hidden so that they can be fixed.

Hrm, we might have to tell S3 the path from its current location, which seems to be at the node with the first anomaly (there's a message at the bottom there which says something like S3 WAITING).

 		Same message back, so that wasn't what was needed either. So, how do we submit this a a known vector?

 		Try this (which starts at the previous anomaly location) -- I don't know if it's the shortest, but it gets to another anomaly:

 		I'm wondering if we have to direct S3 through the maze from where it was on "standby" at the node which lead to the first blueish message on the wall.
In other words, S3 is at the end of FJ ON WS HY DL IX YT HJ and we need to navigate it from there?

edit: nm.. dante said it better above. Smile

 		And S3 has moved on, unlocking another MP3 as it goes. Transcription is:

[edit]There's more! In saving the cleaned up MP3 (attached), I noticed there was something in the comments. It's Base64, which decodes to

[edit=2]Yes, there was one in the first one, and we missed it. It's base64 again, and decodes to:

 		I keep forgetting to mention that I sent pricklypear @ GPSmission.com a message a while back with some photos from the area that the Hollywood mission was in. I was hoping to hear back, but I never did, so I forgot to post about it!

Maybe I will send a quick message there telling her not to be scared, but it's possible she won't receive it/see it.

 		intimation's tweet after dante's path was sent:
Quote:
intimation: >>S3:MSG//ANOMALY LOCATED/ARCHIVED//S3:REQ/NAVPATH


Sent to S3:
Quote:
@intimation ZC MU NA HJ FR SV LF and don't harm the little one

That takes us to the "it won't stop" page. MEM:LOC//1346-5970-44A8-AC5B

With a new mp3 http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SYS/ARCHIVE/ANOMALY-3X.MP3

Just to record the path so far:
FJ ON WS HY DL IX YT HJ to "I'm scared"
FB AD EX IU EG MC VS ZV to "it's chasing me"
ZC MU NA HJ FR SV LF to "it won't stop"

 		Cleaning up and decoding the Base64...

But I find that nothing is quite so satisfying as personally seeing years of work come to fruition. Since the Navy judged these modifications as too unstable for Military deploy, we were forced to using a civillian vessel to prove their merit. Even the most bitter sceptic would have to call this proof a resounding success.

Our engines are operating at top efficiency. I would(n't?) go so far as to say this mission wouldn't even be possible without these engine modifications, *chuckle* Well, provided we actually get to our destination.
