Maybe for the bunker?

I think we should concentrate in the zeros, at the end of the day those are the new clues we have been given and what probably leads to the next part.

Could it be morse but modified? If you put all together in a line, how would you get the pauses in morse? How do you know where a letter ends and another start? Could one of this "o" be a pause?

EDIT: FIELD STATUS --- SENCARROTSYSOP --> lol, you are crazy Laughing

One of the static bursts is longer and it doesn't have zeros in it. I paused it on there to try to see if there's a picture, but I can't make anything out of it. Not sure if anyone knows anything that might be done to analyze it is some way.
Or it may have been like that the whole time and I didn't notice. I only really point it out because I didn't remember seeing this longer pause yesterday.

Also, did one of you put "Unauthorized system usage detected" in the Field Status box?

It is probably nothing but we've got 7 events on the Event Log page and 7 Zero Images flickering on the same page?!? Perhaps they line up some how.

Idk, Cobalt. I used a program to extract all the interferences, which is how I saw all the different zeros. Unless they have changed the flash video recently again, the pics I posted should relate to each of the interferences.

I also thought about that, sea. Maybe the letters in the event log are related in some way?

Another New Event

Three men in white and a Red Door, sounds like a song Wink

The Event Log image, definitely has more static on it, however this static is minus the zeros. Maybe these are letter breaks.

Mail from Zach and Event Log Flicker Images

From Zach:

Quote:
Still no better. Maybe I should go find them? They might know what happened to me...


I've emailed him suggesting that would not be a good idea.

Event Log Flicker Images:

I'm assuming the image with no zeros is a word/letter break.

My Last Email to Zach

I've put it in spoilers since it includes info you might not have yet.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
As I said in my last email I don't think it would be a good idea to speak to these men unless you like being in a padded room for the rest of your life.

The emission that knocked you out was probably from the artifact stored in the bunker, I expect that it picked up your psychic sensitive self and tried to make contact. Keep away from the men but when you are feeling better I suggest going back to the Red door but not sitting as close as before, perhaps you can decrease the emission strength.

A recent archive record we've managed to extract from the Sentinel Control Network, shows that the people that worked in the bunker suffered from headaches. The artifact obviously wants to make contact with you.

Interesting. There is the possibility that all those who started Project 127 are either dead or they left bunker. The archive videos are certainly set up to appear as though they were filmed some time in the past...b/w, graininess and artifacts (unwanted errors, not artefacts=cultural objects) such as lines and spots which appear when old film stock has stood for a long time.

The 'men in white' appear to be checking levels of contaminant in the air following Zach's collapse by the bunker door. That would lead me to believe that Zach was poisoned by some kind of noxious gas released as part of the defense mechanism, resulting in his constant headaches and continued bad dreams...both of which are symptomatic of chemical poisoning which causes an imbalance in brain chemistry.

The question is, who are the men in white?

Probably Men in Black, in plainclothes.

Zach's latest video blog on Youtube is disturbing. He reffies Seadevil4's email above. Also, nice binary solve btw.

The scientists who began Project 127 suffered from unremitting physical symptoms and Zach's condition seems similiar imo.

More Emails from Zach and my reply.

Quote:

1. But who else can help me? Maybe they know what is happening?

2. I don;t know - i dont want ot go back. If being there did this to me I dont need any more of what happened.


My Reply:

Well if you don't want to go back then perhaps you shouldn't. However I think as long you are careful and don't charge in like you did before I think you will be fine.

The reason you can't sleep is probably because whatever reached out to you now has a tenuous psychic link to you and the only way to severe it would be to go back there and possibly destroy the artifact, which is possibly a conduit between our world and another place.

Your recurring dreams sound like some sort of ritual, were there any words like: Cthulhu and R'lyeh.

Did you hear anything that sounded like water? Or the beating of large wings?

This could be very important to your sanity?

If you go to see those men they will lock you up and you will be stuck with your headache and dreams which will drive you insane.

I'm only interested in your safety.

The flashing static is definitely different now--did we figure out both of them or just the one?

Also a friend mentioned to me today that in the Cthulhu mythos the chant "Ia ia!" is very important. Wondering if it has anything to do with our mysterious zeroes or, more importantly, the chanting in Zach's dreams. I didn't bring it up in my last email, but I did ask him what he keeps seeing from the corner of his eye. Snappy at imaginary flies, huh? Seems like whatever he encountered out there is really getting to him!

I'm also starting to think that the glasses he wears and the backgrounds of his vids are deliberate. No idea what to make of them pattern-wise, but it doesn't make sense that he just randomly has multiple pairs of "I'm making a blog!" glasses and moves his computer around to 3 different rooms in his house for each different video.

Nice catch Cortez!

Hey, weird thought--any chance that the blip of static that appears the longest (the one without any zeroes) is a QR code of some kind? I know it's circular but if you cropped it down to a large square (points of the square touching the circumference of the circle) and, I dunno.... reduced the image quality so it was blockier? Maybe?

.... Anybody else having trouble getting the latest Archive vid to play?
