Deep Space Artifact

I was talking about Intimation's story. Smile

So from this mission log that we've received so far, it looks like Sheridan is looking for a way to distract Essy and keep her full attention. We know just how much Essy likes to play hide and seek, so it seems to me that if we were to set up a similar game, it would keep her attention, at least for a little while. Granted, as it stands, we have no way to communicate with neither Essy nor Sheridan, but if a method were to present itself, I'm thinking that we should be ready.

I fret that we're missing something, but I also feel like we haven't had enough consistency and continuity (not a slam, btw, just an assessment/impression) to know for sure whether we have or not.

So, basically, in summary:

Today, Sys got a weak signal from the future. It appears that the crew of the Lewis and Clark is mobilizing to rescue Essy from herself *and* activate the Shipwreck Protocol by activating the Forerunner artifact - and by getting it off the ship ASAP.

I think that's about it, although one of the transmissions appeared to be the crew getting some sort of feedback from our time - as Sys/Essy had asked TrojaN to sing for her. That's how we have the Billy Jean reference. Smile

Other than that, we're still half-heartedly poking at the password for Eridanos' Amber page, and I guess (???) we're still waiting for a door to open.

The crew of the Lewis and Clark is ready. We're ready, too, but we all appear to be blindfolded.

When did that happen? A quick forum search didn't find this for me Sad.

I think it might've been in DMs between the character and the player, but I don't know for sure.

Eridanos is tweeting, too.

Quote:
I can't get that @intimation song out of my head. It's as if it's telling a story. My wife can't stop listening to it either. Haunting.

And to think, that was a render of some AI brain-wave-equivalent. I never would have thought a program could produce something so beautiful.


This reminds us that the famous theme song for the ARG, the one that appeared in the "foreboding dream" video, is to be considered part of S' "dream", some expression of her subconscious. Is it a hint to look for something in the song? Hmm, not sure; others seem to have explored that avenue already.

Edit: if it isn't a hint, then the only puzzle so far has been to de-garble the log entry...but active periods have generally run Thursday through Friday, so perhaps there is more yet to come.

Just before eridanos01 tweeted the above, intimation tweeted this:

On another note (pun intended), it's not the first time the music from "foreboding dream" has been hinted at as a possible puzzle.
If it's in the music itself, here's are the notes courtesy of catherwood, and krystyn.

Would people want me to attempt a transcription? It is within my ability to do so, especially the piano tune that came with the Washington Park pickups.

Absolutely, since I am a singer, never took any theory or composing courses, and had to liberally use photoshop and lots of layer-pasting to create those embarrassing Flickr bits.

At least we tried that some time back! I don't feel so bad now, like it was a wasted effort. I am just not as good with notating music, so I felt like there was nothing there right away.

(Originally, we had thought that the notes might give more Braille that we could read, especially if we turned the staff sideways or at an angle or something, sort of like the dots we solved in the one video. So, that's where we were going with that.)

A new note has been added to http://drop.io/twtwtwe# today, July 31, 2009; by someone.

THE ROAD AHEAD


I'm beginning to think that it might have been better to use the PM created http://drop.io/star_with_sore_eyes for these compilations so that there would be no doubt where these new messages come from.
