Intimation cracked the wall at about 11am GMT, S5 was taken in and we have a new visual located at http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SYS/VISUALIZE/S4_DATADISRUPTION-3 .

Doesn't seem like we're gonna get S5 back for now.

visual is someone running through a forest, random groups of those paint splotches scroll past the screen. the end fades to a skull and more splotches...
Audio is lots of deep rumblings and some windy wailing noises.

Is essy ok?

attached is a rough drawing of the paint position and direction it scrolled.

Aw, man. I go to bed, and everything gets interesting.

Unfortunately, I can't watch the video at work (no sound,) so I can't check it out until this evening. I would check the audio of that file; perhaps if it is played back at a faster/slower tempo, audible voices will appear.

S4, the former Youtube tentacle, was quarantined, yet somehow dumped that video feed. Why did S4 dump this video instead of S5? Also, Sys was immediately seized after initiating the crack, and now her status is unknown. I can't help but wonder if S4 had something to do with the seizure.

Okay so I managed to download the FLV file directly:

http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SYS/ARCHIVE/S4_DATADISRUPTION-3.FLV

and then I downloaded an FLV player, which allowed me to watch the video.

Looking at the video and Nyst's nice map of the dots, I realized that the different 'sweeps' of the dots overlap -- that is, you can piece together all the dots together by noting which dots from the end of previous set are the same as the beginning of the current set. It's also pretty clear that the dots are in some sort of grid.

Anyway, here's my half-assed attempt to put all of the dots together:

EDIT: holy crap, looking at my own image after it was posted

Creepy.

Attached is the image of the pile of skulls found on /ANKAA and it's enhanced version which leads to

[ironnikki]

This isn't looking good...

Sys's status on Twitter is still listed as unknown. I'll send her a direct message and see if anything comes back. In the meantime, we should continue with this.

As a side note, how are you enhancing all of these images? I'm not familiar with image modification, and I'm interested to know.

EDIT: It looks like on the Who Am I page, there are more words to be revealed through manipulation. Can someone make out what they might be?

[drizjr]

I went ahead and tweeted these new pages to intimation.

ironnikki, I use an image manipulation program called GIMP. I'll take a look at the who-am-i page, but it's usually the same writing as the previous page.

I tried answering the question with /SACAGAWEA , /ESSY, /S, AND /DREAMING-EYES but there were no pages for them.

I've been trying various incarnations of those words, but to no avail. Unfortunately, I lacked the foresight to log which ones I tried. But I do think that you've got the right idea, Driz. I'll keep throwing things at it. At least we know that Essy isn't gone yet. Don't give up guys!

[anaerin]

Going from past experience, I think that the "Who am I" page is the end of this particular hunt - There is no more to find here.

Typically, at this point, SYS would forward our messages of the location of these messages to S3, who would close the breach. But as SYS is missing, this isn't being done.

[Kilination]

Ten hours since Sys has posted a message to anyone.
Ten hours with the same information.

Maybe we should try contacting Eridanos for more information?

[ironnikki]

That sounds like a good idea to me, though from his tweets, it sounds as if he may be just as confused as we are.

Anaerin, since you and he have established some sort of rapport, care to give it a go?
