I can't help you there -- all I know is that they managed to pick up the 4 'artifacts' in the park, and when they opened them up, each one turned out to be a little skull with the word DREAM written on the bottom in braille:

Also, attached to each skull was a memory card: 3 CF cards and one SD card, I believe.

The people at ARGFest had to run off to participate in FestQuest, so we have to wait until later to find out what's on the memory cards.

 		Okay, video is up (and processing) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLlGIMFoPaI

Transcriptions follow.

They also had a high-bitrate MP3 of the "Theme" (As on the front page of the site), all identical (from the looks of it), and each drop had a small text file:

 		My theory is that we'll get a signal when it's go time - possibly the @intimation twitter? Keep an eye on the /WHO-AM-I directory?

Smoke signals? Flare guns? Headline news on CNN?

Keep an eye out on the drop.io site too. Apparently, the society like it.

You were following @intimation, correct? I haven't heard from people for a while. There's something new at drop.io. Who dropped it?

I gave him my best guess: Whatever went wrong during the last controlled stonewall crack also allowed our little Dreaming Eyes to escape. She's out in the big wide world, and -- thanks to Sys's research -- she knows about the Society of the Ancients. She's gotten in touch with them, and they somehow know what's going on and how to fix everything, and they seem to want to help. We can only assume that one of their agents planted the physical package for enaxor earlier today. (Err, yesterday. Good grief, it's late.)

 		There's a little more hidden in the videos.

Going back to the original source avis, I found the following in each of the four videos.

 		I don't know that Dreaming Eyes got out, actually. It might be Sys that is working with the Society. driz, I think, had a link to differentiating between the two Pignose smileys that are used in this game, indicating that the signature is Sys.

 		This might be obvious, but it seems worth pointing out that the symbol shows SFTA, rather than SOTA.


Society For the Ancients?

Society Free To All?

Society For Talky AIs?

 		Wow. I sure picked a bad weekend to take a road trip.

In any case, the message from the society says to watch for the sign. That seems to suggest that there's nothing for us to do now except be observant. Has anybody tried grilling eridanos01 for information on this Society?
