hey, i don't know if any1ne else noticed- nothing big really, but there's hidden text here. it's underneath the link.

"but how do you remember something that hasn't happened yet?"

doesn't seem too important...but it was hidden...

EDIT:

okay, the page changed again, but there was hidden text there.

Don't see the hidden text you are talking about but the RAWmem page decodes as:


Code:
!recyc+reassmb running. mem data initialising. output stabalised.
!recall data.
!bridgeap powered down.
!recall convert.
!recycleap powered up.
!reassmb powered up. recyclying output=RAW. reassmb output=RAW.
!convert .RVX ~2K-2K6knownpaths.
!postap. 23%


The .RVX extension is referenced in the source of all 3 pages linked to this page.

Given their size, I doubt there is a RealVideo file stegged into them, but thought I'd throw that out there as I don't do stegging unless somebody's life is on the line.

These pages linked at the top of RAWmem have been seen, yes?
http://mum.atspace.com/vfiles/2182006.html
http://mum.atspace.com/vfiles/2192006.html
http://mum.atspace.com/vfiles/2202006.html

Is planet elysium from a halo game? and the colony reference definitely reminds me of 'Our Colony'.

*slightly off-topic*

ROGI!

how did you decode that nonsense!? forgive my lack of cryptological know-how...but i'm trying to learn! what type of code was it and how did you recognize it?

It's Base64, I would have posted it last night, but UF was down

And, acctually, it directly translates to:

Quote:
!recyc+reassmb running. mem data initoͥЁх͕ɕ'ф'&FvVvW&VBFv&V66fW'B&VXX\\Y\ \X\X\Y\ Xyclying output=RAW. reassmb output=RAW. !cooٕЀIY`,,٭ݹѡ̸х



(that's what I got anyway, I tried doing base64 again, but nothing. Maybe I missed a step...)

got a reply to my email to Dr. Caulfield. I had asked what we could do to get her "unstuck"

Her reply was "time will unstick me"

Guys. Try copying all the text on the page and pasting it into notepad.
It'll make more sense, then.
The cipher text wraps(except for the first line) at every 58th byte.
remove the line breaks and try it in a Base 64 decoder, again.

EDIT: Someone changed the text on the page to remove the line breaks, but the spaces are still in there. Just remove them and the message will decode properly.

As for how to identify a possible Base 64 encryption, one big clue is that it'll contain only letters, numbers and the "=" symbol. No other punctuation or spaces.

EDIT: Just noticed we have a new log page for today:

It's a 2-person conversation and has a "Matrix" vibe going.
I converted the nicks from the Base 64 that is posted on the page.
Code:
VERITAS MONsys
<~!dinfo>"VELMOR_VOClog327054"<~dinfo>
MALE_Aprx47: There are some things the common folk do not need to know.

DANIEL_VELMOR: I understand. But how would you feel not knowing something like that?

MALE_Aprx47: I would feel nothing because I would not know.

DANIEL_VELMOR: But still...they're keeping something huge from them. Another world!

MALE_Aprx47: It would cause panic. The public would fear the Outsiders. Some might even try to make contact.

DANIEL_VELMOR: Do you really think that? Is that even possible?

MALE_Aprx47: It was possible for them, wasn't it?

DANIEL_VELMOR: But they were advanced! And god knows VERITAS would never let a commoner get the materials to climb the Fence.

MALE_Aprx47: VERITAS has many eyes, but there are some things it cannot see.

DANIEL_VELMOR: The Preventers? You think they have the ability to climb?

MALE_Aprx47: That information is classified.

DANIEL_VELMOR: Classified? Who are you exactly?

MALE_Aprx47: Anyhow, I should be heading back. Thank you for the delicious lunch, Mr. Velmor. And here, take my business card.

DANIEL_VELMOR: Alexander Halish. You're an agent for the P.C.B.?

ALEXANDER_HALISH: Bye, kid.


My ears are burning. At least we don't have to figure out a catchy name for ourselves in this one. Looks like we're gonna be "The Outsiders".

EDIT: As for the unsticking...

If the timeline on the "Carmenta"(RAWmem) page is any kind of a guide, We should expect something on Friday, the 25th as that's when "full recovery" is expected. Incidentally, Carmenta (Roman rustic goddess of childbirth and prophecy) is thought to be the inventor of the Latin alphabet. Might be a kloo.

EEEE! I actually found something!! Yay!

So I was looking at the Carmenta page on wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmenta

and it mentions her temple, which was next to the Porta Carmentalis in Rome.

So I looked back at the conversation we saw, which mentions the "P.C.B." being an entity that Halish is an agent for. I looked up Porta Carmentalis which is not on wikipedia, but found another page about it

http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/Europe/Italy/Lazio/Roma/Rome/_Texts/PLATOP*/Porta_Carmentalis.html

which says "Porta Carmentalis: a gate in the Servian wall which derived its name from the neighbouring shrine of Carmenta."

Hrms, a gate. Interesting. Wasn't gate one of the words found in the binary behind the Veritas logo on the popup? I'm also interested in the fact that the Porta Carmentalis has TWO openings. The other one was the Porta Scelerata, or the Gate of Guilt.

I was thinking the PCB was "Preventers" something something, but now I'm thinking it's "Porta Carmentalis Board" because this seems to be some sort of regulatory agency (or board) for access to this Gate. Further, maybe they didn't know there were two openings? Maybe they only regulate one? Maybe the other is too dangerous or something...now I'm just speculating wildly.

Why? I didn't think it was that bad. This story is actually getting sorta interesting.

I wonder if we'll get a new update today?

Another new log.
This time we got a logo looking picture that seems to explain what PCB stands for, 'PARADOX CONTROL BOARD'.
Thats definantly something you'd be wanting to control with all the time travel flying around.

If anyone can figure a way to pull a copy of the pic from the most recent log page, could you post it here.
