Great job Lystella! I'll be working on the encryption as well... Anyways, I wonder why no one has posted the text files on the lainsy.net/glink/t1 yet... anyways, here they are:

which is most probably encrypted, I'm just quite unsure in which...

Wow. Great job guys. Wish I had more time to devote to it right now. I wonder what the next step is.

No luck on the Dec. 30 system message so far =\

Meanwhile, I was wondering if the countdown on the join.failtechnologies site held any significance. If I added right, the countdown goes to Aug. 11, which is the day Emily was declared missing, but it could just be coincidence.

Should we start worrying?

if you check /ruby

So maybe, at the very least things are ok... I'm sure Genus is on this now... Anyone care to contact him?

Anyways, here are teh other logs for the other AI...

I feel clueless as well.... Anyhow, seems like oriruserku.org has a new video... Some sort of distorted video about atoms and atomic bomb... and revival of organisms... and ERTS.... and at the end it says it's a calibration video... and starts over again.... Not sure what the video is trying to tell us... It could be a clue, unless it's just really for calibration...

There was a string of numbers in one frame.

Translates to:

How is the system message going for the rest of you? I'm starting to have dreams of letters, grids, and floating pencils >.<

Asked Genus about the self-destruct:

Quote:
Hello, thanks for contacting me. I'm on my way to reconnect the module, however without scarlet. The module will reset its timer and things should be fine. Don't worry, this feature is designed by my and Emily ourselves.

It won't actually self-destruct. It's just a scare tactic timer to say that if Scarlet is disconnected for too long to the system she may no longer be compatible to the system.

As I was saying, we will reconnect the module, however, Scarlet won't be in it. Which means the module will be connected, however, it will not function at all since Scarlet is not in it.

We still have something to do and Ruby is doing quite a good job herself. We need Scarlet because way back when we had 45459, we transffered ALL information he had into Scarlet for safety. So basically, 45459 right now is an empty container of no use to the Orkudusu.

Re-connecting Scarlet to LAINSY might re-align the information in her and might accidetally wipe the store information her because LAINSY has been updated a lot it seems. Plus, even for a while we might want to take Scarlet around in the real world and take advantage of the situation.

Hi all, officially back from holiday and so am slowly catching up on all the new fun. I am looking at the Dec 30 system message from http://lainsy.net/ and don't seem to be getting very far. The only thing I can think of -- and sadly I don't have the time yet to really devote to cracking it, perhaps next week? -- is that it might be a set of trigraphs.
Original message:
Code:
QNJTRDYPGCIPZBTPVFPKEPPB
QNJIJYIKPAPMLPPZBJRDZWQE
XQQIRLQNJIJYIJYHRTPCAPRL
HJYRNAPPMBQEPBJRVFQVRDWJ
VDZVQLPJYHDZPPBDPZQNJIJY
IAMJFMJNBPXZSGMYUUQKQWQE
IJZPPBWQEPXZSAQZKLXAMJBE
PBLVRTPCXIJGCIXDWMJIFIVM
TRFQUYRCZQGXTRZCAMJFYCHG

DIYBRYCGQZRSCKTPCPPJYHIM
IVMPPBLJMPXZSOYOJMRGQZRI
PAGHVFPQLPZFDFYCGZUKBPKP
YVXDWMSKPYVKPVFPCZYULDPZ

Split into trigraphs:
Code:
QNJ TRD YPG CIP ZBT PVF PKE PPB
QNJ IJY IKP APM LPP ZBJ RDZ WQE
XQQ IRL QNJ IJY IJY HRT PCA PRL
HJY RNA PPM BQE PBJ RVF QVR DWJ
VDZ VQL PJY HDZ PPB DPZ QNJ IJY
IAM JFM JNB PXZ SGM YUU QKQ WQE
IJZ PPB WQE PXZ SAQ ZKL XAM JBE
PBL VRT PCX IJG CIX DWM JIF IVM
TRF QUY RCZ QGX TRZ CAM JFY CHG
XJQ QPB ICX QIY YPA JVQ ZKP YUL
DIY BRY CGQ ZRS CKT PCP PJY HIM
IVM PPB LJM PXZ SOY OJM RGQ ZRI
PAG HVF PQL PZF DFY CGZ UKB PKP
YVX DWM SKP YVK PVF PCZ YUL DPZ

The only reason I'm going on that trigraph hunch is that there's a lot of repetition between certain letters, e.g. PPB, QNJ, IJY, etc. Well, maybe I'm reaching a little too much. But maybe this will inspire someone else who can crack it?
