Welp, re-opened the WhiteRabbit folder and got a new message from the Oracle. Nothing interesting in what the massage said, but it has officially closed all the doors for me. so now I guess I just wait.

OK, think I am caught up now. Frustrating but still fun.

Every time I open the pdf in white rabbit it crashes :/

found wilkins' exam folder key.

I wonder if any of the vertices on the spinny globe and globe coordinates have any connection to each other. I've been poking at it, and each time the middle pentagon hovers over a vertex the 'humming' spikes on the bar below with a little blinking pentagon. I've also noticed by humming/solfege work you can make the local channel go up and down too, with it matching the spike at around B-C above middle C. And if you have the analyser on while the opening score for Daybreak is on, a dodecahedron will pop up too. Fun stuff.

as discussed earlier in this thread about location & real world jackboxer stencils:

on the daybreakers site this image(acutally four images) corresponds to the ones in the flickr photostream:

i assume there are other spots to be found with messages/communique to discover.

looking at the metadata of the blueprint pdf, it was originally named blueprint3.jpg. it makes me wonder why they converted it...

speculating that maybe all the jpegs we are to obtain are to be via the image decoder. all other viewable content, such as the ones found in wilkins' exam folder, could be pdfs implying there's no image to decode.

just received a mssage from the oracle:

It's interesting to note that 13 out of 14 of the dodecahedrons below CH 2 are unlocked and viewable on the daybreak2012 site, leaving one doda unopened (below chapter two) currently.

Not counting the chapter links themselves the sequence of groups of dodecahedrons from bottom to top numbers 6,8,8,6,6,6 for a total of 40.

One inconsistent item of note re: the blueprint is that it doesn't seem functional. That is the

[Syeira]

Still pondering... it's not one of those stegosaurus steganograhy things is it?

[blackfeathers]

i concur about the lack of functionality of the jack boxer & noticed the faulty dimensions too. at the bottom it's labelled as a side view but looks more like a front view.

the real life photos of jack boxers(on instagram) look like car or motorcycle coils that don't actually spring. they don't appear functional too.

from the dodecahedron, the test subjects and this blueprint, there's a 1 of 12 theme going on.

opening the pdf via hex editor the other day, i didn't see anything that stands out but may need another pair of eyes.

fwiw, here's exif metadata retrieved from my command line exif tool:

regarding things that may be questionably stegged,
the image of tesla sitting & reading is suspiciously large in size at 1.1mb.

if you perform a reverse image search on tineye, you'll find nothing that matches in size and dimensions. everything is smaller, & is of different size & appearance.
