BTYC -Ep 6

I made the same mistake with the pastebin link. It's pastebin.com/PQMN69yh

Not making any progress on the password. I thought it might be "carter"-related. It's been so long I'm not sure what I should be remembering with the "it's already in your possession" bit.
I'm an idiot. I'm awake now, should be better -_- Poking around qadhos now.

ETA: while doing hurricane prep, I'll be hanging around Google+ (https://plus.google.com/u/0/113817245018380660458) and twitter (twitter.com/maevrim) if anyone wants to discuss.

Here is the text that appears (other than from kadath).

Took the base64 text and converted them back to images as this is how they were probably meant to be displayed online.

So the inevitable feeling of dumb strikes again, where did the "pending gate names" come from?

Also the green eyed monster strikes

Barbara Locci who was one of the victims of The Monster of Florence was known as Ape Regina (Queen Bee). On the datastore drop-down box I had in the past tried entering what looks like an ISO date, tried the same with date the file was added 20120930 but no joy.

I had already tried to guess some of the commands at the prompt, help and ls work, login looks like it shouldn't be parsed at all

This video is linked on the datastore page but never played correctly for me.

Sixteen candles - The Crests - 1958
Not sure that is relevant but I hadn't seen anyone mention it.

Some stuff that might be obvious and redundant, since this thread has already gotten past these, but to tie up the loose ends:

On the silverkey.jpg in the pastebin address, it's not a q or a g, it's a 9

the accepted commands are written in futhark on the right side of the screen in qadhos.com/comm. ALSO, in the datastore when you get the song 16 candles playing in the background, entering 16 as the file ID gives you the same list of commands. There are also three classified commands that have been blotted out so they are illegible. The first two of these start with a "q" and it seems that the first part of the first classified command MIGHT be "qadhos", since there are parts of letters visible above the black smear that could be the top parts of d and h. On the second command, there could be a "g" around the middle, since the loop is visible. The third command is blotted out completely.

EDIT:

In the command list, there are also commands load, execute and status. The status command gives a plain english readout of the right side of the screen, spelling out the futhark with normal alphabet. Load and execute commands need further parameters to work.

Using an unknown command at the prompt returns the following:
[RPC] There is no *** method (where *** is the attempted command)

Using "load" or "execute" without needed parameters return an parser error message beginning with [AJAX]

I think the song is linked to the Il Mostro because there were 16 victims.
