 		There's a new video on Oriru Serku site. I caught some text, but I'm not sure what to make of the audio.

 		I feel like I might get epileptic siezure with that video... haha

Good job Lystella! However, anyone care to grab screencaps? It might be interesting to see what the pics are... There might be clues of some sort... I know I see a ship launch in the beginning.. I think it's a NASA ship.

 		Wow, some major news on Facebook.

Quote:
Future Advancements and Innovations Laboratories Technologies (FAILTECH) would like to, above all, apologize for the inconvenieces we have brought to all of our customers and clients. While most have been beyond our control, we sincerely apologize for all disruptions that have been brought that we should have been able to prevent. Right at this very moment, the company is re-structuring and will come out new and will strive to deliver the best beyond everyone's expectations, as we have already done for over 20 years. As company who has been mostly been shrouded in mystery, we present you (for the very first time) a THREE STEP PLAN we have devised to bring everything back up to speed.

 

STEP 1 : DELIVER RESULTS

 

Due to previous troubles the comapny has enoucntered that caused delays, mishaps, and unsatisfactory results, we intend to delver everything we promised in the upcoming year of 2012. While we may have cancelled a few of them, we intend to deliver the greatest ones, especially the ones who define who we are.

 

We are technology innovations company and we intend to remain the leader innovation and focus on research and development.

 

STEP 2 : OPEN DOORS

 

While we still intend to keep most of our research secret, we intend to open our doors for those who want to join in providing feedback and help us solve issues in our current technologies to push us forward ahead of the rest. While this step is intended for consumer level, we are open to allow our partners and even competitors to join us in this endeavour. While this step is still under further planning, we present you the future home of our OPEN DOORS plan.

 

http://join.failtechnologies.com

 

STEP 3 : GOING BEYOND

 

While we already know our company has always been above and beyond the rest, bringing the future to the present, we will continue to push the boundaries and strive to deliver what we think is science fiction into a science fact. We didn't have our motto as "MAKING SCIENCE FICTION INTO SCIENCE FACT" for no reason.

 

And that sums up our THREE STEP PLAN for the next few months, that we intend to execute on time without delay. While I have just stated our plans for the future, I (personally) would like to discuss a few things regarding recent troubles.

 

First is the widespread lockdown and isolation of our facilities, while this is something beyond our control we will take full resposibility for compensating ALL of our legally employed employees and personnel with appropriate compensations.

 

Next would be for our pertners and clients. I personally would like to apologize for the delays and loss, and we will compensate for this. While this has, not only, tarnished your trust to us we hope for you continued support. Our investment agents will be in contact soon, if they haven't yet, to negotiate your investments and partnerships with us. 

 

While I still have a lot to talk about and even further apologies to make, I personally guarantee that the company who has brought you the future is back*!

Alexander Sword

Director, Chairman

 

* Back with some re-structuring


And I got an email from Patrice on Friday that I forgot to post.

It's been a while guys. How are things going? Anyways, we've gather as much information as we could finally determined who the Byruniuku has been in contact with. It seems they are in contact with someone through the FAILTECH lines. However, it seems communications had been directing to a dead end. What's interesting is that they seem to be contacting someone through a particular device conncted to LAINSY. We're still not very sure what's the nature of the device, yet. However, it seems they have access to it.

Recent developments in our investigation shows that whoever they are in contact with has been sending out data even if the Byruniuku are not in contact. Nature of the data is still unknown, however, the data seems to be sent over the internet.

Also, we've been able to decrypt the transmissions now and we've got intel about some sort of massive transport. Still not quite sure what they are planning to transport. While we are able to decrypt the transmissions, not every single parts of it can be decrypted. Either that parts of it are still encrypted or is ecnrypted in a different way or that they're using language we don't know. We've checked in with our contacts and none of they recognize the language so it seems it is indeed still encrypted. I'll update you again once we get more intel.

Happy holidays!


Wow.

 		So, we have a countdown on the site. A very long one. One process I thought was funny was the "rewinding time" progress bar.

Genus email:

Quote:
Sorry if it took me long to inform you guys... My previous messages didn't seem to go through, so this time I had to make sure data is pushing through before making a message...

We've got Scarlet back! However, this is not without an unfortunate consequence... They've got 45459. I know you guys will be mad at me for this, but you'll have to understand...

We have already been discovered and was under attack, and were then captured. It's even just a miracle that we've managed to escape. Me, Emily, and Scarlet are on our way back to Earth. We'll devise a plan to get back 45459. Winston was mad, really mad. He left and I understand why.

Now, the people from the future are still there figuring a way to save 45459. I don't know why they'd still decide to stay in the heat of everything... But, this I assure you that I have every intention to save 45459. Just not now. The Orkudusu has no use to him without Scarlet anyways. And that's something they haven't figured out, yet.

Also, I've managed to penetrate their systems while escaping and applied a patch through to LAINSY. You should be able to access the Orkudusu's file soon at /glink. The conversion program is still young and the algorithms still imperfect for the job. But there's not much time, so I'll leave it as is and hope for the best. I hope you'll find something of use in this one.


So far, it's still converting everything.

 		Well. /glink/t1 is now working. This is what it shows...

Code:
.

.

.

.

.

STANDBY DIRECTORY BEING POPULATED


And when you go to /lainsy now you get 404'd. There is a picture attachment assumingly from Martin who is now online as well. I guess we just need to figure out what is in this Orku directory and save 45459.

On a side note, last week when I called Lainsy and enabled Martin with Alex's sentence, Lainsy called me back and left me a message. It was freaking awesome. If I get a chance, I'll upload it for you guys to hear.

Hello, if you are looking for LAINSY she'll be at her new location separate from the main site.
Where did she go? Well, she'll be at her own page named after her... Of course, she's a network...
Do you even know what I'm pointing to? I hope you do. Experts after all. - Ryan Bruno


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
LAINSY has been moved to lainsy.net, together with the glink folder. 5 folders are in the glink folder, named t1 to t5. Haven't looked through their contents yet.

EDIT: All folders except t1 give 403.

 		Thanks Lystella! I do not know how to solve the binary one, but I do know the message is most probably encrypted in viginere, like old ones... What I'm worried about is that the key/s for it must be in the binary...

 		Managed to get the binary one. As for how I started,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I split each of the six parts into 5-bit section and one by one, converted each 5-bit section into decimal.


Eventually, the data read
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
NEW YE--R NEW --GE NEW CYCLE
(Lystella note: 00000 didn't convert to an actual number so I used --, but the missing letter is probably A.

 		Good job dude.

00000 converts to 0 in decimal, which converts to the letter A if your alphabetic key is from 0 to 25, instead of 1 to 26. The message is confirmed to be:

NEW YEAR NEW AGE NEW CYCLE

These words will most likely be part of the keyed Vigenere cipher. I'm looking at it right now.
