[UPDATE][SPOILERS]site updates 10-22 Well since everyone else seems to be very busy figuring out the new Rani puzzles, I'll post what new changes happened to the rest of the site here, feel free to add any that I missed and discuss anything new:

Preview schedule is up. No "axons under construction" like last week, but SilentAvenger is PENDING

Reconnaissance and Orientation
The Crew responded well to this task, as I knew they would.
Orientation challenge – special commendation
Orientation challenge – honorable mention
Squads
My crew suggested I should view the Killer as an asset to be deployed, rather than an enemy to be eliminated. Several pointed out her relationship with her Aunt Margaret.
"Even if the enemy is protected by high walls and deep moats, he cannot but do battle, because we attack what he must rescue."
The Killer is now currently tasked with finding a way to neutralize the Rogue Process. Send any suggestions to her through the usual channel.
Really nice pictures all!
Confirmation that we should send suggestions to Dana through the "usual channel" = commonly accepted as Dana's email: danatwingSPLAT gmail.com

HA!
That was about the funnest day ever in the history of everything, except for being chased around by the old Queen with her hairpins flying screaming OFF WITH HER HEAD at every opportunity.
Plus also instead of a Training Exercise, we got to do a game, which is much way funner.
(Want to do another?)
AND I figured out how to get into the Queen's transmission system. Must crow a little!
Although someone singing happy birthday to you when it isn't even your birthday would do just as well...
...Only, I was an eensy bit not quite careful and maybe mixed up some stuff, and now the Queen is triple-distilled extract of mad and her eyes are all bulgy and there are bees crawling out her ears.
So I had to go on my tippiest tip-toes to sneak this stuff:
#1
Cranky Old Man
Tech Specialist --------. You wonder why she wasn't in her office?
#2
Cranky Old Man
(Continuing) As long as Standish thinks I'm dead, I've got a little --------.
!transmit "seek behold reveal, recurse
For my friends to send you files to transmit? Yes, that will be fine. Thank you so much, O Most Useful of Vermin!
behold Princess
Princess >> !reveal
Running for my life. What does it look like?
!analyze Princess >> !evade
Because the Queen is after me, you dumb bug! And getting really strict about it, ever since I crawled into her phone system and started talking to people. I might have, uh, messed things up a little.
analyze Princess >> master-sector transmit system
dmg
More like, system scramble.
scramble
Got any advice? I mean, besides stay here. Here it's mostly safe, I know. But what else can I do?
grope:
seeker > !attach Princess
Sheesh. Only one thing on your tiny mind... What else?
Princess >> !reveal truth
Oh. Sure. And how would I do that?
behold the truth
That sounds simple enough.
behold the truth
3 2 1
I don't even understand that a little bit.
!3 !2 !1
!BEHOLD
and then what?
analyze Princess
fail
Then what? After I behold? Then what happens?
scramble
Lots of cool wav files here.
The "seek behold reveal" code for sending the Subject 5 wavs to the Flea is still working this week (apparently nobody alerted Melissa to it last week)
[PUZZLE]
What does the Flea mean by:
!3 !2 !1
!BEHOLD
and
What does scramble mean when the SP beholds the truth?

Yay, finally an update! The sound files were hilarious and the pictures were awesome. Two of mine was up there, I feel special.
Just a thought... Do you think the fact this update took so long (er... lagged) might be a sign of Melissa/Durga/SP kinda loosing it?
I'm guessing the cranky old man is Herzog? Argh, I wish I would have paid more attention to Rani's story instead of making that Thin Kinkle vodoo doll...

OH BOY!! Now we get to make a choice: Sleeping Princess, or Dana?
Sleeping Princess has been helpful in getting the full story...
Dana has been helpful in... uh... well, running away to China.
I've always been on the "Help Dana" side when it comes down to melissa or Dana. But Dana or SP?
All that remains is figuring out if Dana is REALLY going to take out the SP. Maybe she would have told us what she plans to do if we hadn't turned her on us.
Sigh. I guess its all really in Dana's hands.
So who are we going to help?

Oops, I was too vague. I was talking about how there was no reply about the orienting pitures like the pictures last week. I don't remember very clearly but that everything went pretty quickly.
Eh, sorry about my lack of articulation.

The better question is *could* Dana take out the SP? She couldn't do anything to stop things in the first place. I don't think she can now.

Sarah, I think you summed up the way a lot of people feel about Dana.
I cant help but feel sorry for her character about her Aunt... but she hasn't exactly been the kind of character I can identify with. As heartless (erm heartless emotionally, considering AIs don't have hearts) as Melissa can be, I just naturally felt more compelled to do her bidding rather than playing games with SP. I don't feel right about deleting/getting rid of the sleeping princess though... esspecially since the spec seems to be pointing to SP/Melissa/Durga being the same entity.

3, 2, 1, Behold?
That's... kinda counting down, isn't it?
Like a certain something at Chawla base? Hmm.

Dana can't neutralize the rogue process...without our help. But I think that with our help, she could...just like Melissa was able to earlier. So it is up to us to choose.

Well, seeing as we're talking about an artifact that can knock out communications in an entire system, which is going through a count-down of some sort (decay_timer), and the folks talking are AIs or computer programs... I think "scramble", especially in reference to "master-sector", means No More Operator/Queen/Princess. Or Flea, since that's his home too.
-- Steve's just noticed a few virtual folks with a common interest in stopping the Artifact, if this is true.

at this point... i think Ranni believe's Standish's bull about there being no artifact and Herzog being crazy
if we can get the Flea to transmit this info to Durga, then Durga can tell Ranni that Herzog is the one to trust and not Standish
