 		with that email, I feel like Genus was also saying that his first try on time travel had some unfortunate side-effects, namely ripping apart time and space continuum.. creating an alternate timeline and getting some people sent to that and so forth... lol

 		Got a reply back from Skyfall.

First, my email...

If you may need of our assistance? What is happening is classified from us? Who do you think you are talking to? If I were you, I'd be less cryptic and more forthcoming about what it is you have done and what happened to our friends. What is this dire situation that you have created? We trusted you to take care of things. You assured us that you had everything well in hand. Why were you in such a huge hurry any way? You can time travel right? You could have and still can just go back in time and fix whatever it was that you screwed up. Let us know what is going on so that we can help you fix it, damn it!


I don't feel very good today so I was kinda cranky Wink

And the reply...
Quote:
Well, let's just say things are out of my personal control. Circumstances have appeared to be very different from what we have expected. Additionally, I have no means of travelling through time myself. It is only through the assitance of Oriru Serku that I was able to get to this point in time. I did not create the dire situation. It was a result of a complex under estimation of the situation. I have no orders from Oriru Serku to provide you additional tasks or information once the main goal has been completed. So, as of right now I am not authorized to provide you additional information of the situation and is therefore classified from you.

If the situation proves I will need of your assistance, I will personally ask for it. Also, I have been informed that FAILTECH's LAINSY is offline. I believe that Oriru Serku has been hi-jacking LAINSY for quite some time to allow inter-time communications. So, while LAINSY is offline thus we have no means of informing Oriru Serku of the situation.

Transcribed (numbers already inverted, still in base 7).

I don't recognize the operation though, the cross is division but it's only supposed to have numbers on the top left and bottom right, and no bottom stroke on the bottom left box...

 		Well, Genus is ok. Got a reply from him last night...
Quote:
Uhm, yes... I have not much details of what's happening, but I assume the Orkudusu has figured a plan to prevent them from being sent back to the future. I can't think of any or how, but that's the vague idea I have. Either they were able to amass enough forces before the de-phasement or they were able to make some much more advanced technology that Oriru Serku is unable to handle. Either way, once they have taken care of the Oriru Serku, they will be and should be bound to Earth.

LAINSY is down, it seems whatever happened has created a ripple throughout space and efected her systems. Still quite unsure of what's the problem, but seems that her systems are OK. It's only her software seems to be affected. The Dev Team is looking on that. They suggest I re-instate Scarlet so that she can re-populate the systems back faster. But, I'm holding that thought back for now. Until we actually get affect, I won't be desperate to get LAINSY back, yet.

Our defences are down without LAINSY. Even our sensors, so I can't tell what's happening. I'm still holding back the thought of re-instating Scarlet this early. Until we are sure of what's happening, I suggest we stay ready for action for anything that may happen.


EDIT:
Got an email from skyfall about the code...
Quote:
I have been informed a code has been inadvertively rippled onto one of your digital systems. I unsure where. But if you do find it, please inform me. Additionally, it will be and should be in Quandrant Operations form. It should look something like this:


(number) | (number) ,--
------------------- | CODE
(number) | (number) '--

where (number) is a certain value in Heptilon or what you know as Base-7. To solve it, you will need to perfom the operations from quadrant I to quadrant II, and Quadrant III to Quadrant IV, where:

II | I
-----------
III | IV

and the answer of the top deck will be placed on Quadrant II, while the lower deck goes to Quadrant IV. Then you perform the requested operation for Quadrant II and Quadrant IV. Where:

II |
------------- Divide
| IV

II |
|-----------| Multiply
| IV

II |
|----------- Add
| IV

II |
-----------| Subtract
| IV

and the answer is then placed on the right of the [ symbol. The Quadrant Operations form is a standard basic math structure to allow transmission of plain code. Of course, Quadrant Operation also has additional functions for other mathematical operations, but that will be unneccessary right now. The code we are looking for has a simple Q.O. formula and does not require complex math. Once you get the code, I will then disclose our current situation as it has every bit of importance to the code we are looking for.

 		Dammit, ninja'd. Very Happy

None of the operations seem to match what we're dealing with here, so I've sent a reply asking for specifics about the operations between Q I and Q II, Q III and Q IV, and our strange operation featuring a stroke on the bottom of Q IV instead on the right.

 		Since Skyfall referred to a top and lower deck, I was wondering if that meant the quadrant shape would indicate the operation for each deck. For example, the line on the bottom right quadrant would mean that the lower deck would be multiplied, while the lack of lines above the two quadrants on top meant that the top deck would be subtracted. (see attachment)

EDIT: I interrupt the maths to give you a mini-Facebook update!

The current outage of our services are scheduled and for high level maintenance. We apologize if we were unable to announce this. We apologize for the inconvenience this has brought. Additionally, have you read about how Klein Energy's energy generators are much more better than the sun in terms of energy generation?


Klein Energy, 01.27.2012 wrote:
Did you know that our products are much more efficient than the sun in raw fuel to energy production? The sun's raw fuel (hydrogen atoms) are fused together to create energy and then produces a by-product (Helium) in the process... Then, to dispose of this by-product which is already inert it collapses on it's own gravity to compact the "waste" and creating a black hole. While you can possibly harvest energy from a black hole, circumstances prevent most of us to harvest such energy. Meanwhile, our products uses raw fuel directly and on-demand (it only convert fuel to energy if an external device or machine draws power from our generator) and has 95% efficiency. Maybe you ask where does the 5% go (especially we say there are ZERO waste, ZERO heat production, ZERO emissions, and ZERO "stray energy")? Well, have you ever wondered what powers that glowing half-sphere on the power cores and the generator control system? That answers your 5%. We are still figuring out how to make the system much more efficient that we can go up to 99% and leave 1% (or even less than that) to power the generator controls.


Thank you for possibly reading, skimming, or skipping the updates. I now return you to the maths.

 		Trying to work this out. As decoded by themedic:
Code:
520 | 63
----------
  4 | 15
     -----
    +

  6 |
----------
101 | 2
     -----
Translated to base 10:
Code:
259 | 45
----------
  4 | 12
     -----
    +

  6 |
----------
 50 | 2
     -----
And as suggested by Lystella, I propose the following formula: ((259-45) / (4*12)) + (6 / (50*2)) = CODE = 4.51833333
I guess it's not considered complex math, but whaaaaaaaaat??

 		Yah....I'm not sure about how I interpreted numbers on deck, and the numbers weren't looking pretty on my paper when I was attempting to calculate them with that method. One thing about your equation, posse: ((259-45) / (4*12)) + (6 / (50*2))

The bolded part seems to be calculated from Quadrant 2 to Quadrant 1, but Skyfall mentioned performing the operations from Quadrant 1 to Quadrant 2, so, keeping the earlier method, I propose this edit: ((45-259) / (4*12)) + (6 / (50*2))

I hear ya. So... -4.39833333 is the answer to this code? Shifty Eyes

 		Possibly...ah...does it matter if the answer is base 10 or base 7? Confused

so confuzzled /(@_@)\

 		Woohoo! Great job you guys! Email from skyfall...

Thank you, you have given the decimal form, we'll do the conversion to Heptilon. I have BCC'ed your team mates this same message.

The code you have just retrieved is a base code for the temporal photonic field frequency used by the Afyg to shield themseleves and their units from damage. It is nearly similar to the technology used by the Galactic Union who locked them down, and Genus Orein who also locked them down into de-phasement. However, this technology does not places the subject in a different plane of existence, but rather, allows the subject to seamlessly allow other things, such as our weapons, to pass through them if they are not enclosed in a temporal photonic field of the same frequency.

Therefore, without the frequency code, we are unable to attck them. We've lost a lot of our units because of this. Thankfully, your the code was indeed displayed somewhere in your jurisdiction. It was a wild guess, and yes I lied that I was informed of that.

Nonetheless, we are now in the process of sending them back to the future. Unless of course they could re-configure their TPF frequency before that happens. Hopefully, not. Additionally, the Jhuku is being escorted his way back to Earth. From there, Winston will take over and will be in contact. ETA is roughly 30 hours.

If you see another code, please do send it in. It may indicate they have re-configured their TPF and we'll need to adjust our systems for it.
