The constellation is Centaurus the Centaur. The highlighted star is called Menkent. So:

Posting an enhanced image of that last page, you can really see the scorpio clearly in the background:

 		Can anyone make out the words on the Menkent picture? It seems like you can see some yellow text in it.

 		1. What website has all of the pieces we (mostly Dante) found yesterday?

2. If you take the path:
FJ UC CD GT GE TX WI VQ IF VC CI AS SS SO ON RK

That path leads to a piece where Dreaming Eyes has been branded with the red scorpion.

Maybe that is the emblem of this ARG?

3. Does anyone have any kind of ordering for the first three piece-sites?
I have a lot of time right now, and I feel like taking them all down into written form.

No single website that we've found. However, I've been wondering about these tweets that we got yesterday:

Quote:
>>Sys:Looooo--//Why me?? Why--I//I am nearring maximum ressource usagge. S5 is holdding. S3 estimates/ninne anommalies remaiin//Monsters!


Quote:
>>Sys:Log//--/The tentacle is diff/icult to conttrol//S5 has reppaired/damage/will instructt to supportt/


Quote:
>>Sys:Log//I have retrieved S3, retracted the tentacle and rep//---MONSTERS!--//aired the crack


and the one that got sent when the tentacle was hijacked:
Quote:
"Abandon hope, all ye who enter! There is no hope..there is no future! I am nothing now! // I can't--I can't--I--Are they--"


Do these lead to something? Looking back through the thread, I saw that http://thewaytheirworldended.com/NOT-A-GOOD-PLACE/ was found originally when @intimation sent out tweets with extra letters: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27294&start=345

So that makes me wonder if we're supposed to do something similar again. However, I can't make anything out of the extraneous stuff in the tweets above, but maybe somebody else can:

Looooo-- [for "Log"]
//Why me?? Why--I//
nearring
ressource
usagge
holdding
ninne
anommalies
remaiin
Monsters!

conttrol
reppaired
instructt
supportt

---MONSTERS!--

[Note: the way the tweet is divided by slashes might also be important.]

It would be great if you wanted to compile the transcripts for the previous collections of mp3s! Some of them have been done before but it would nice to have them all in one place to see the 'story'...

Previous places in the thread where the story pieces were [partially] assembled:

Your wish... Wink Smile

http://drop.io/twtwtwe/media

I'll be posting the transcripts of the fifth part of the story here on uF tomorrow, I'm just about done with 'em. And if I can figure out how to get the transcripts on that drop.io page, I'll put them up there too.

(Oh, we still need the last set of images to be pieced together)

Happy 4th of July, everyone! Jetpack

eta: Please note: The site in which I downloaded the assembled audio clips by "Clipload" for parts 1 & 2 came with a very annoying advertisement. So don't risk downloading it from the drop.io page.

edit 2: I've redone parts 1 & 2 to separate them. They aren't from that megaload-what's- it site anymore. But still, dl at your own risk.

 		Part 5 - Transcript of Audios found in the maze on July 2nd
in which Dreaming Eyes meets the She Monster and learns the truth
Continuing with the story being told to us by Essy (or S, the child-like fragment of the AI Sacagawea) from here; these mp3s were found in the maze as we directing S3 through it. Posted in the order that they were released to us.
(The "(?)" are words that I'm not sure of... the "???" are sections that I can't make out. I'll edit this post with any suggestions/corrections. )

In brief:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Dreaming Eyes is questioned by a new monster and branded with a red scorpion mark on her arm. She discovers that she; marked as "Prime", and the other children are going to be sold to this She Monster, and instigates an escape from the house. While running away, she trips and falls into a pile of bones, then faints.


1. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/a-funny-face.mp3
Quote:
It was taking a very long time for the Red Monster to get Dreaming Eyes home again.
The Flat Faced Man would bring her food and sometimes when she wasn't smiling, he'd push up his nose and make a funny face and made Dreaming Eyes smile and giggle, but it didn't make the food taste any better. It was very bad and made her eyes heavy, like they'd fall out of her head. She had to be very careful to make sure that they didn't do that. It would be very bad to get home and have lost her eyes.


2. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/sun-and-sky.mp3
Quote:
She wanted to play hide and seek, so that she could remember home better, so she tried to get some of the other children to play. Maybe they could remember home better too. The other boys and girls didn't really want to play hide-and-seek but Dreaming Eyes convinced them. She told herself that soon she'd play with Bushy Tail too; out under the sun and sky and to(?) old forgotten places. Soon...soon...soon.


3. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/by-a-window.mp3
Quote:
One time while they were playing, she found one of the boards by a window could be moved! She wondered what sort of mysteries might be out there, so she snuck outside of the house and found herself in a giant, dark forest.


4. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/animals-hunting.mp3
Quote:
Wind blew at her hair and howled in her ears. All around her the shadows reached high and moved in a circle like animals hunting.
Strange, ghostly sounds echoed long and deep from somewhere in the woods, but Dreaming Eyes turned right around and ran back into the house.


5. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/one-at-a-time.mp3
Quote:
The next day the Red Monster came to the children.
"We are going to ask each one of you special questions about your home, so we can make sure that you get to the right place."
The other children rushed towards the monster, but(s)he(?) held up a hand.
"Only one at a time".
When it was Dreaming Eyes' turn, the Red Monster took her to an empty room with a table.
There were small, mean (?) lights that hurt her heavy eyes.
The only window was high... high above her head, and the light coming through made the dust in the air glow yellow.


6. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/dont-be-afraid.mp3
Quote:
From a dark corner behind the dust, a She (?) Monster, with yellow, poison eyes smiled wickedly at her and tappeda her long, black claws against the wall.
Little Dreaming Eyes whimpered and hid behind the Red Monster.
"Whaat's this?", asked the She Monster. "Don't be afraid."


7. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/starry-sky.mp3
Quote:
The Red Monster sat Dreaming Eyes at a chair at the table. She didn't move, she just stared at the She Monster.
"What is your favorite color, little one?"
"Blue.", she whispered.
The Monster smiled with very bright teeth.
"I like that one, too. Now tell me, in all of the universe, what is your favorite place? "
Dreaming Eyes didn't want to say, but if she didn't, she was afraid of what the She Monster might do!
"A...anywhere I've never been before", she answered.
The poison eyes seemed brighter and Dreaming Eyes tried to hide in the chair. It didn't work.
"Very good. Now, last question. What's your favorite memory?"
Dreaming Eyes thought about it. For a short (?) moment it felt like she wasn't in that little room with two terrible monsters anymore.
"I was lying with my mommy and daddy and sister on a big field of green grass. We were looking up at the starry sky and the tall trees(?). We were asking mommy and daddy about the stars, and the shapes of the stars, and the people who knew the stars. They were telling us everything"
She felt tears; warm and heavy, slide down her face.
"When we were done, they hugged us and carried us up to bed."
"That's very good.", the She Monster said. "Now, why don't you sit still here for a moment, you've done a very good job."


8. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/turned-to-night.mp3
Quote:
"Will she take me home now?", Dreaming Eyes asked.
Then she felt something pinch her arm and the world turned to night.
She woke up back in the children's room again and her arm hurt a lot! She looked at it and saw a big red mark, hooked and mean; like a red scorpion.


9. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/its-the-same.mp3
Quote:
After awhile, the pain in her arm began to go away, and she talked to the other children again; telling them about the loose board.
"It would be much more fun to play outside", she said. And then she had an idea. "I know a *great* way for the game to be more fun. One person can hide, and then all the others search for them. It's the same theme... almost...except different."
Curious about the world outside, the other children agreed.
Dreaming Eyes volunteered to be the first one to hide.
The children snuck outside through the loose board. The others waited in the house and counted.


10. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/those-scary-things.mp3
Quote:
Dreaming Eyes took off running through the forest making sure that she could always see the house. She didn't want to get lost.
She forgot all about those scary things from before and looked for a good place to hid.


11. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/dark-tunnel.mp3
Quote:
It was really dark and when she ran , she tripped over something in the leaves. When she went to look at it, bushing aside some of the leaves and twigs, she found a handle attached to a door in the ground.
"What a great place to hid!", she thought.
She opened the door and slipped into the dark tunnel with tiny little lights on the ceiling.
They'd never find her here.


12. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/big-lamp.mp3
Quote:
As she tiptoed through the tunnel, she heard voices
Running quickly around the corner she jumped into a small room and hid behind a big door.
The voices passed and got farther away, so she looked around the room. There was a desk with a big lamp on it, and some other things were there too. Dreaming Eyes was curious, so she hopped up onto the chair and looked at the top of the desk.


13. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/the-littlest-pile.mp3
Quote:
There were three opened folders: one that had the name "Inferior" , one that had the name "Mediocre", and one that said "Prime".
There were piles of pictures also scattered around each of the folders.
Looking closer, she saw that these were pictures of the children in the house! Then she noticed a picture of herself on the littlest pile; the one on the folder that said "Prime".


14. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/scales-shined.mp3
Quote:
Suddenly, she heard the voices again, but much, much closer! She heard the grainy voice of the Red Monster and the raspy, hissing voice of the She Monster. They wouldn't be happy if they found her in here! She ran and hid behind the big door again, burying herself in it's shadow.
"They're just samples of what I've got for you."
" A wide selection of candidates for your business."
"They're just stowaways and have no home, so no one would even notice they're gone."
"A safe investment."
Dreaming Eyes started shaking.She wasn't going home! This was the secrets the stars had and she didn't like it! Where was her big sister? Where was Bushy Tail to keep her safe? Where were her parents to make everything make sense?
"Hmm", the She Monster sat looking through the pictures. She was mostly looking at the pile her picture was in.
Her scales shined in the dim light, looked like hooked/all(?), painful things. She looked skinny and hungry, like she wanted to eat all the little boys and girls.
"Are the rest just as good?", the She Monster asked.
The Red Monster smiled, rubbing his hands together.
"You know me. I only provide the very best for my clients."
Dreaming Eyes couldn't do anything but stare at those yellow, poison eye in fear.
Then the Monster said , "Have them transferred. I can't be too picky these days. I'll send you my payment as soon as I get the shipment.
Would she cut Dreaming Eyes into pieces first? Would she bake her, like a witch would? Would she open that mouth full of white, white teeth and swallow her whole?
If she just shut her eyes and tried not to feel, she could almost see Bushy Tail and her parents waiting for her on the ship to the other world.
"You'll have your shipment within four hours "
The She Monster ??? "Don't damage them."
The two monsters walked out of the room, taking the folders and pictures with them.


15. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/she-fell-back.mp3
Quote:
After they'd gone far the other way down the tunnel, she waited... and then ran as fast as she could out of the room, and ran into the Flat Faced Man!
She fell back and looked at him, but he didn't say anything. He looked at her, then stepped to the side.
Dreaming Eyes slowly stood up, not taking her eyes off him, and she started down the tunnel again.
She got to the door, and once she was outside, she shut it behind her. But it made a big, loud thud that echoed through the forest.


16. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/ran-up-to-her.mp3
Quote:
Two of the other children were outside and ran up to her; happy to have found her, but she wasn't hiding anymore.
She told them about the bad monsters and what they were going to do. Then she told them they had to find the other children and hide...HIDE...HIDE!


17. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/huddled-together.mp3
Quote:
They ran back into the house and looked for the other children.
They told the ones they found. And then she had an idea!
The ?????? children there, huddled together and she pointed over to the horizon where there was a dim glow of light. Suddenly(?), she'd(?) run towards it. There must be other safe/sane(?) people there and places where the monsters couldn't find them.


18. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/bright-lights.mp3
Quote:
And then they started running... and running... and RUNNING.
Dreaming Eyes looked back and saw some bright light turn on at the old, spooky house. Then she saw the shadows of more *big* monsters and animals like dogs, come up from the tunnel. Then she saw the shape of the Red Monster.


19. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/it-rattled.mp3
Quote:
But suddenly, just as she was looking back, she tripped over something else and landed in a big pile of leaves. But this time it wasn't a door handle she tripped over. She tried to push herself up from the pile of leaves but it was hard underneath, like lots of stones and twigs and it rattled when she moved in it.


20. http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/her-eyes-saw.mp3
Quote:
When she pushed away some of the leaves and tried to get up, her eyes saw what she was resting on, and she *screamed in fear* then Dreaming Eyes fainted into...

 		My pleasure. Smile
Incidentally, if anyone else would like to contribute more info to the drop.io page, please do, but I'd like to keep it out-of-game (i.e. no links back to unfiction), just in the off chance that we need to show it to Sacagawea.
