 		@duke: Well actually that tweet is from yesterday.

Personally i'm really hoping for an update tonight because I'll be gone and I don't know if i'll able to have internet access. So I hope so.

 		So what are you supposed to do if you still can't get past the brains ( think I'm stuck on #7 or something ) -- how do I go on to the next phase?

 		According to Vidal you don't have to play the device to continue on. So you should be fine, and the swf file will be updated with a link to the new one. Also I have a long email from Vidal here:

Quote:
Hello!

I am so sorry for such a late reply on this one. I've been trying to keep up with everything but inevitably am falling behind. I don't think I've slept more than three or four hours in the past three days. I know, I know ... "go to bed!" ... we're just so close! I just wanted to make a few quick notes on some of the things you said, with maybe some ramblings of my own!

First we don't know what the "military command program" part of the message meant and it's a little frightening sounding to me. It may not be a directly military related program, but it certainly sounds like maybe Henry is about to make a major military move. "Command" what exactly?... and against who? I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened already and that Malcolm hasn't started gloating and telling us all about his master stroke of mayhem. Maybe it IS happening already and Malcolm is realizing the extent of what he's just done... so he's too ashamed to speak? I wouldn't be surprised.

Call me a pessimist but Malcolm said it himself - I would need days if not a week or more to prepare the satellite for public use. He would only need hours to unleash Henry. Whether there is any truth to this or not, what should I expect when I first enter the new coordinates and go through the wormhole? Will I find a damaged Henry about to cause WW3?... or a damaged Henry who has just instigated WW3? Has Malcolm already blown those explosives he was talking about? Will I maybe find myself in the past, before all this mess? The future? These are the questions that are keeping me from sleeping!

The IDGIDECRYPTION - that's a new one for sure and I'm actually rather impressed. The section of txt in between the IDGIDECRYPTION tags was actually completely encrypted as it was picked up by iDGi-1. It was decrypted using a whole array of different techniques and we're not entirely certain what that means. My best guess, considering the context of the text in between those tags, is that Malcolm found a way to get that part of the message past Henry. So the infected Henry was unable to read it and/or even see it at all before it came to us. I imagine if he knew Malcolm's real intentions such as having explosives planted all over K-1, it would cause a bit of a problem.

So it looks like you're not going to miss anything after all Wink If all goes well then we're really hoping to have a bot run through the coordinates by the end of tomorrow, and then myself and Thrie go through on Monday or Tuesday... then we launch for everyone asap from there.



So we have a rough schedule on what's happening.

 		Hmmm... Twisted Evil
So, that encrypted portion of text was meant to be hidden from the infected Henry so that he wouldn't turn against Malcolm...

Maybe, if we could reply with something like: "Why did this portion of your message have to be heavily decrypted? [QUOTE GOES HERE]"

Maybe that would prevent Henry from destroying the world before we could get to him. However, you never know what might happen afterwards.

I won't do it until I get some second opinions, so, whaddya say?

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to write in my reasoning. I sound crazy. I figured that bad Henry was reading our posts as well as Malcolm's, and that if we could get it to realize what Malcolm had planned for it, it would turn against its master.

hrm, is there a new link on the interdimensional games site that I should use then? 'cause if click that red blob I get taken back into the virus game from hell. I see that there is other new stuff (like a sponsor??) but maybe I'm missing something.

 		The gateway is still closed. Refer to the email above we may get access as early as Wensday. What you need to do to test it is bring down the dropdown menu and click on the moon symbol to re-synchronize with that point in time then click on the anomaly, and if it's open you should be transported if it's not then it will say error and your codeword.

 		Duke: that's risky man! remember what Malcolm said about how we DON'T want to see Henry lose his faith or there is no telling what could happen. I believe him! I think he's still got some humanity in him. So if we turn Henry against his "saint" (as Malcolm put it) then he could completely snap far worse then whatever Malcolm is imagining.

it sounds to me like this clean slate thing is some kind of automatic program that will go off once the virus has been cleaned by us. So THAT may be automatic but what the hell happens AFTER the clean slate has been completed? Malcolm still having control imo is better then letting crazy ass Henry go off on his own and turn against Malcolm. NOT to mention if we turn Henry against Malcolm perhaps Malcolm will set off his explosives and then we're all done for!

Wowo: apparently Vidal was just working on the UI of his new satellite dialer dealie. So i assume we'll be given access to this new dialer once it's ready to go and then can connect to the EpisodeTwo stuff without playing the greenberg device.

and speaking of which. I'm STILL stuck on level 21. driving me crazy you guys could beat it so easily and by a method that does not work for me!!! I have no idea how to beat this. Most games actually end in my covering nearly the ENTIRE board in red and green squares and then none of the specials allow me to even come close to winning!!! What The Hell???

 		New post by Alvarez!?!?

Quote:
Testing. Hello? Is anyone there? This is Alvarez Famosa speaking. With everything going on over here I'm wondering if you're even still there? Has he gotten to your world too?


It appears the missing has become found. I've already responded, and asked what he meant "Has he gotten to your world too?"

I'm not sure if we're speaking about Malcolm or Henry.

 		Okay well the gateway is up first off you'll need to go to a new site: http://idgi1.net/

NOTE: If you have not finished the Greenburg device you will have too manually input the Lat and Long into it.

You'll being with a diagram. I assume the center is the earth. You'll want to click on the dot that represents the satellite. Look down at the corner and there will be an "import greenburg device" option. Then you'll get a note from Vidal. From this point on i'm putting quite a bit in spoilers.

Once you enter you'll arrive on the desktop the time is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
right after the Milestone 3 upgrade. Henry is suprised and said he was just setting up instructional videos for Vidal with the coordiantes. (We all know how those went)


After this you will see the findme.zip foundme and the file with the ??? with the other folder that held the audio finally the recycle bin is still there.

Clicking on the found me will lead you to the internet login with a note from (Malcolm ?) saying to use the access password they gave you from the hidden link in the pictures.

I went back to see if you guys had solved that (which you had) and the password is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
accessspikek1


You will then be booted to history trivia. Henry interjects and says NOT to answer the trivia that we cannot trust the church (I think we already know this) So you must wait for the 5 minute countdown to end. While it's ending the screen will slowly get tampered with by Henry (?) I guess. After that you will be booted back and Henry will laugh at the church for what they tried.

NOTE: I have not yet tried to answer the trivia. I'll activate a state and see if you can.

You can then go into the ??? file and you'll see the old file along with a new one's. Henry says they're locked with riddles and hopes we can solve them.

NOTE: Each riddle is randomized when you leave and come back. So answers here are only moderatly useful.

Each one deals with a different aspect and you'll notice file notes that say the username and password. The password is pretty easy "in the country of the (blank) the one eyed man is king"

So the combo is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
username:seeker
password:blind


I'll either edit or make a new post based on the files.

here are the answers to the riddles if you guys need them

How many squares on a chessboard. (Trick question!)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
204


Add a five letter word to each word in the list to make a new word I think they were
key wall gem washed ( I figured this one out using the word gem.)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
stone


From noon on wensday to noon on Thursday how many times does the minute hand pass the hour hand? (Okay this is a baaad riddle. Why? Because of the answer. I'll include a clue and answer)
Clue:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The answer is an important aspect to the story what number has been mentioned numerous times

Answer:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
21


What's the first number that has the word "P" in it's spelling. (There are no conventional numbers that have P but there is one
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
septillion


(This riddle is a long one it talks about something that can be earned but lost just as easily etc.) Sorry I don't really remember it.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
trust


This one is easy. Just follow the pattern for the word taken from another word
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
tone


I think there are some riddles in morse or it might be an answer.

One other thing is that the file about the M3 upgrade is locked with a different username and password combo.

After you exit there are some files with morse. I still need to go through them to get it.

WARNING: Once you leave the site you are DONE. So do not leave it till you have finished everything I'm going to email Vidal about this.
