I thought that "RYWTER" was just from Cory hiding his name in the first packets...I didn't think there was anything else to it or more we had to do with it?

Re: Presidio Institute Puzzle
Letter codes needed for puzzle

I surfed the Presidio website and under Faculty>Neural Engineering> Alec Veil you have to enter 5 letter codes. These could be the RYWTER codes or something else. How many RYWTER codes do we have?

Im assuming you are just getting into this ARG. If so you might want to read up on everything first.

The area you are talking about has already been discovered and solved back on page 25.

The passwords were omitted words. The letters were taken from Frankenstein. If you go back a few pages, they are listed there.

Argal, please, please read the rest of the thread. I know there's 40 pages worth of stuff, but this was solved back on page 4.

Checking numbers at end of DS3 pics

stugots wrote:
has anyone ever compiled the trailing 1's and 0's on the DS3 file name emails?


I have tried binary to text. The short ones don't work because you need 8 characters, some of the longer ones don't make out any words.

Converting the last DS 3 image gives:

& # 206 ;

As nichiera and others have said, I don't think we can make any useful translation out of the binary until we have all the pages. After the last one (IRIS note) I think there are 10 left we still have to recover. Perhaps after all the files are filled in, one long binary might produce text or make another conversion possible.

IRIS

Sorry for the double post ...

With the last DS3 file, who hired IRIS? (Alec? Mr. Randall? Someone else in Veil? CBAL?) And who is "she"? (Eve? Janie? T? not Cory).

What's everyone thinking?

Also I still think it may be possible to hack into one of the locations and access their security cameras. Maybe the off compound site? Maybe a security division at Veil? If we can find a login. Maybe something to ask T. if she is still around.

Just thinking out loud ...

To Argal and Stugots, expanding a little on what Emato said about the binary numbers...

If you go back to pg 34, Nichiera posted a pic from the game that had had several of the numbers filled in, with the addition of all the other email picture file name/numbers added. Granted this is several pages back and you'll need to add the past couple of numbers. But yeah, we don't have all the numbers yet. So it can't be decoded yet.

It's hard to put this more into context, since there's no date to this document. If the document is a few years old, it would make the most sense for the "she" to be Eve, I would think. I would hesitate to think that the note refers to Theresa, since it references Silva being in the dark, and as far as I know, Theresa and Silva aren't connected (Theresa works at Veil, Silva at CBALTech).

Here's what I'm thinking thus far. Keep in mind that this is all speculation: Veil hired IRIS to secure Eve and the Chip-77 research performed on her. This was all done before he left CBALTech, and when he founded Veil, this research was his starting point to complete Project-77.

I'm a little put off by the fact that the note uses the first person singular rather than a first person plural perspective. Wouldn't it sound more natural for a corporation like IRIS to use 'we' instead of 'I?' I know, it's kind of nitpicky, but it still feels unnatural.

Posting an updated version of that image jenni is talking about.

I was thinking along the same lines. But I think that this happened after Alec had already left. In those letters we got from the drop between Alec and Silva it was already known that Alec was leaving CBAL and was asking for his research to take along with him. Since Silva said no I think that Alec hired IRIS to get it back from him.

This must also be how we got the images of Silva's desk, IRIS must have taken that picture back when this happened. As far as who the girl is I think it has to be Eve as well since it wouldnt make sense for Silva to hold on to Alec's daughter.
