Good questions Solar. I haven't seen anything to suggest that Dan is in immediate danger right now though. If Alex wanted to off Daniel wouldn't he have just let him die or take him out in the cryo unit? I took the sword killing miller thing to mean he was removing him from involvement so the plan could proceed, not necessarily that he was being killed (even though that was entirely possible). I guess we will just have to wait and see what transpires next.

Punxtr, the bit about sending genus a picture attachment instead of text was hilarious. I almost wet myself laughing,...almost. Wink

Hmm, yeah, between the nursery rhyme-esque logic line and what went down (or what we're led to believe went down), it doesn't quite make sense at face value. Alex is a shady guy, but from what we've seen of him I don't think he's capable of taking a life on his own volition. We haven't been able to see much about Genus yet, but depending on how this next arc goes, I could see Dan's end come about by Genus' machinations.

I'm also hoping that "kill" bit isn't meant literally, but at this point I can't really find an alternate way to read that convincingly. That verb "kill" just seems too extreme to be referring to barring Dan from the company or plans in some capacity. With how things are going, I'm worried for the guy's life. D:

And tracing our steps, I wonder how Dan wound up as a popcicle in the first place. Did we determine whether the Toronto emails were legitimate? And also, how does one's ID wind up some distance away from your frozen body for a day or two?

I'm just glad my initial suspicion of Faux Dan was right, although I sort of reneged on this later. I still truly dislike Alex. That extended transfusion only stopped me short of hating him.

See, now that's something else that's been bothering me. While we don't have any reason to think so (aside from suspicious character, which isn't quite enough), what would be keeping Alex from making LAINSY lie to us? All we have to go on that Dan's safe is the word of LAINSY, which can be manipulated, and Alex, who is, of course, suspicious.

Again, we don't have a reason to not believe them; or inversely, there's no evidence to point at it all being a big lie. Not yet, anyways. It's just an unsettling thought that hasn't seemed to want to leave my mind. :/

Two new images on Genus' blog. Genus explained to me that this is a personal challenge from him, and that I should share this with you.

Got the same message. Looks like more numbers.

Edit: And I think it looks like math too Zeighy. I'll see about translating the equations in a minute.

What happened to that Failtech wiki or whatever?

godder, can you post what you got from the image named "basic" first? I can't get it... Neutral it doesn't make sense to me... I know I got some of them, like the addition and subtraction part... pretty much it... Neutral

Here is the basics image run down. It is a base 7 system. And they have their numbers in reverse order from ours.

1+1=2 .......... 146+134=313
1-1=0 .......... 146+1=150
1*1=1 .......... 111+1=112
2/2=1 .......... 222-1=221
1+1=2 .......... 6/3=2

I'm working on the other one now

pssssh, so that's why I didn't get it... Neutral the numbers were written in reverse.... Neutral

This is the equation as I see it.

(545/1405)+((13-506)/(132/3))=(-24/3)

That's in base 7. Does that look right to you Zeighy? The answer is 6, but I'm having a hard time getting the left side to agree. It's been a long time since I messed with other base systems.

Edit: Oops, I already see where I messed up. Try this...

((545+1405)/(45*3))+((13-50 6 5)/(132/3))=(-24/3)

See if that looks right now.

I think while the numbers are arranged in reverse, the operation still goes from left to right, just like the example he gave on basics... 222-1=221

so instead of 13-505 it was 505-13

this is what I got:

((5401+1405) / (45*3)) + ((505-13) / (132/3) = 24A / 3

I think the - was actually A since that's the letter rather a negative sign... just a thought...

so

(10106/201)+(462/33) = 24A/3 <<< base 7

24.8080 + 10 = 18A/3 <<< base 10, I don't know how to convert the decimal to base decimal... Neutral can we actually compute with decimals? I'm stuck here


scratch that, let me redo this

Ok, still fixing my mistakes. I'll see if I can make something work. Lets see what I can come up with.

I got A=5.80135 if I calculated this in base 10 all the way... I suppose that would still be the answer if I calculated it in base 7... however, what bothers me is the decimal... how do you convert a decimal into base 7 "decimal"
