Nice work for those who trudged onward!

For this one, there is a hotspot that pops up in a random place each time you reload. If you mouse over the pieces, there is a hidden blank white square that is about the size of the skull image and will show only when you are over its location. Click it and the skull shows up over pignose.

ETA - looking at the table of skulls, we have 4 different colors and 5 different skull orientations, so possibly 20 skulls in all?

I wrote down short descriptions of how the skulls were found by general method (pignose, hotspot or string). So far:

Code:

Baldr/Blake      string at the end of Forbidden Dream video description
Urchin/Dustin      sys pignose in maze
Tower/Leonardo      essy (binary) pignose on STREWN-ABOUT
Skye/Lani              essy pignose on READY-OR-NOT
Spirit/Dayo      pignose (word) on BROKEN-PIECES
SweetTooth/YumYum   string formed by audio spectrogram in Forbidden Dream song
Europa/Alina      breadcrumb on 404 page
Shimmer/Elena      string found on Bungie forum profile
Shadow/Chuck      breadcrumb on research log #20
Kayenta/Kamen      string found on I-WILL-SURVIVE
Ludwig/Cash      blank square hotspot on SCATTERED-STARS
Ordinal/Adelina      paintball on NOT-A-GOOD-PLACE
Flutter/Erin      paintball on MY-TIME-HAS-COME
Stratus/Zachary      clicking all boxes on ENDLESS-BOXES
Goldilocks/Ursula   paintball on ALONE-ALONE-ALONE


Layout not quite in order, sorry for that!
Don't know how to put that in the skull table, yet.


Ok, this is straight from my notes, doesn't look nice (I spoiler it to not ruin the page for everyone Wink), but helps me to structure things a little, maybe someone else can use it. I put the clues as far as I can see them. The rest was found by hunting with basically three different techniques. Put those in "". Hope you can figure out the abbreviations, because I'm not writing them out right now. :p

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Navpath Room => "hotspot" => RON and FD video
FD video => "string" => Baldr
RON => "pignose" => Skye
fresh air clue => GPS missions =>
a) BP and SA (1 more each there?) => Tower and Spirit (both "pignose")
b) ROT clue to IWS => Kayenta ("string")
Eridanos music clue => SweetTooth ("string")
S1:PROC 95% clue => research node #20 ("hotspot") => Shadow
"pignose" => Urchin (and 4 more?)
"hotspot" => 404 page => Europa
"hotspot" => SS => Ludwig
"hotspot" => NAGP => Ordinal
"hotspot" => MTHC => Flutter
"hotspot" => AAA => Goldilocks
"string" => Bungie forum profile => Shimmer
clicking all boxes on ENDLESS-BOXES

On dreamerblue's suggestion to revisit the pages with "sand painted" constellations, we found two more skulls.

On http://thewaytheirworldended.com/NOT-A-GOOD-PLACE/ the hot spot is by the tail of scorpion. Clicking that gives us

Found one!

Another sand-painting one: the Goldilocks Skull, Ursula. Got it from ALONE-ALONE-ALONE.

Wow. Nice work, guys! Extra props goes out to drizjr. I read through all of the goings-on at the wiki, and went to all of the different skulls up so far and put in my name and email at all of them.

Of course, this goes silent for like a week when I have nothing going on, and then picks up on the one day that I'm booked... Guess that's just how it goes though, haha.

Wow, nice find ancalime! I was about to post, then was informed that you had just posted another skull haha.

Just wanted to say, I checked all paintball paintings. I checked the entire area, going up and down, moving left with the width of my cursor and so on. The hotspot box is twice the cursor width for me. That should cover it, at least I found all 3 that have been found again this way.

No new findings. I claim they are "clean". Smile

Updated my lists above.

url's used for each child

A couple of observations about the url's used for each child that we've rescued so far.
"SAI-MEM" Sacagawea Artificial Intelligence-Memory" (obvious, right? Smile)*
Then there is either a "P", "M", or "I". Remember this from Part 5 of Essy's story where she finds the file folders on the children?
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/the-littlest-pile.mp3
So, we have that S remembers which children were tagged as being "Prime", "Mediocre", and "Inferior".

Here's a list of the children we've found so far, separated into their ratings.

Tagged "Inferior"

Adelina
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SWDAT/SAI-MEM-P-L4E2A2D369N5A51703I8.JPG

Also, within each url string, are the letters of the child's name.
example: L4E2A2D369N5A51703I8 LEADNAI for ADELINA

*eta: Maybe not so obvious... SAI might stand for "Scorpio AI"

people keep asking for all of the images from story-part-5 to be gathered together, so here it is (at 50% resolution, for size) and the full version will be at drop.io here)

people have also asked for all of the images from story-part-6 (the most recent) to be gathered together, so here it is (in two halves, for dramatic display, and at 50% and 25% resolution, for size) and the full versions will be at drop.io here shortly)

Holy man, I wish I knew what was going on, as this all looks very exciting!

Oh, wow...good calls! I guess it doesn't make sense to expect an equal number each of I, M and P, then.

We were discussing this a tiny bit in IRC, but -- I am now wondering if the memories of the rescued skulls not only indicate whether each child was "Inferior," "Mediocre," or "Prime," but if Dreaming Eyes was the one who had to pick.

There's nothing to back this idea up other than the feeling that when reading these memories she has of each kid and their ability when playing Hide and Seek, that she's giving the memories as answers to interview questions. Almost as if she was seen to be the cleverest little leader by the people keeping them there, and so they made *her* decide who was I, M, or P.

And if that's the case, how horrible for her. How horrible to look back and see what you unwittingly did as a kid.

So yeah, I am probably way off, but I wanted to post it because that's the impression I got from the child-skull stories.

That's an interesting idea, krystyn, but it doesn't seem to fit with Dreaming Eyes discovering the three folders with all the pictures already organized on top of them...or her sending the other kids running in the direction of a dim light on the horizon in the hopes that they'd find safety/rescue there & her refusal to reveal to the She Monster where the other children were. But then, that is assuming that Essy did indeed go through the exact same situation as she is telling in her story...
