 		There are 7 images, not 5. Two are repeated. Using the binary I got dvnmudv but I have not tried it Confused

I used this site for the binary: http://www.roubaixinteractive.com/PlayGround/Binary_Conversion/Binary_To_Text.asp

 		Loose ends, things we still do not know what they are (if)
So we have a few things with no direct answer:

a) What are the letters after the event log names? The numbers could be year (10), month (10) and day. So far, these are the event log names:

101016 KF
101017 LC
101018 JM
101019 DX
101019 EG
101020 SZ
101021 JN

b) What are these ceros in the event log?

c) Why has the AI changed? What are these new variables? Why do we have new responses and keywords?

d) Why after the Lovecraft reference it has been no other reference to HPL literature?

Is there anything else we should keep in mind?

 		I got the same from a random binary translator site.

I can't access the Event Log or Archive pages now, but the others work fine. Could they be undergoing an update?

 		Darn missed those ones, well spotted.

DVNMUDV - Dont work on the retrieval code

Well decimal gives us:

100,118,110,109,117,100,118

Thought maybe it had something to do with the Analysis page, makes no sense though.

The analysis page gives us those other numbers: 7193321320

 		7193321320

Could be a telephone/fax number?

ROT5 shifts numbers so it could be: 2648876875

The digits are definitely dates corresponding to when the videos were posted.

The thing is that 7193321320, whatever it is, it is in the source code of AI, it has not "appeared" yet. It is the combination of 3 variables that we were supposed to get by asking something to the AI. The question (keyword) is not there yet, but the answers were put there today: 719, 332 and 1320. The AI is supposed to reply "Have you tried 719 332 1320?" at some point (with or without spaces). So I do not think this number has to change. Telephone? not sure, maybe. I am in the UK, not trying lol. And it might not be "active" until it appears in game.

I find intriguing the 2 letters from the event logs Confused

In this site they explain some encryption modes (for radio, mainly, but serves us anyway): http://www.cvni.net/radio/nsnl/nsnl004/nsnl4cc.html Just keep going to different newsletter. I am trying to find other kind of encryption based on two different symbols. No luck so far

 		Well I know we're still on a bit of a Lovecraftian kick in terms of theme, if only because my friend pointed out that Lovecraft loved to take long bike rides. As somebody else already pointed out, water was huge in his life too, and that factored into Zach's early vids as well.

So. Tempted. To call that number. >.<

This is also the point where I WISH that I was about eighty times better at puzzle solving, encryption and patterns. XD

 		Well, we can rule out the two letters as to which camera took the footage, since we have footage from the same place multiple times.

Also, if that is a phone number, it's somewhere in Colorado. And I feel ya, Muse. I also feel the itch to call that 'number'.

It appears now. Type in the word Key and it shows up. No spaces.
Still no prompt for the other number yet.

 		Hmmm.... interesting observation: if you type anything into the Input box of the Analysis Page and it contains the word "key" (ex: my carrot key is not a friend" - yes I really tried that) you get the response "Have you tried 7193321320?"

So we know it's a key... but what kind?
