Nicely noticed. Although I wonder. That could also be the Glyph in a primitive organic fashion. What if that's a subtle hint found via blood testing?

[kulpdogg]

did anyone try making the picture negative yet?

also overlapping the 2 images (slide and star thingy)
in different ways...

i mean, we we're given 2 images... why not try to put them together?


edit:

I see people already combined the pictures in the other picture thread.

So is everyone else assuming that the vesicle full of small round objects is the sign of flood infection? Just wondering if someone else had another theory.

Slide information

Re: Slide information

I was assuming Infc means infection, but your control idea is quite interesting. However, I've never seen Control abbreviated that way so I'm not sure.

I'm slowly being driven insane by the gradient on the left. I'm assuming that things that are more white have a greater concentration of "B3", and darker things have more to do with "CNO DR54 G 48"

I think that DR54 and G 48 are unrelated though, and instead a way of marking this specific slide/patient. Mainly because CNO could easily be a form of nitric oxide.

Maybe B3 is a specific stain or something.

this is a stretch, im aware, but i see what appears to be the numbers '0' and '1' at an angle in the negative possibly an answer to the server 1 or server 5 discrepency or to something more

Just wanted to let you guys know that gettyimages is NOT part of the ARG. Likely they had to leave the copy write info in the file, it wasn't meant to be game breaking, just legal considerations. Here is the reply e-mail I got from them:

The reaction conditions were adapted to optimize species-specific amplification by using thermolysates of strains obtained from CNRL as positive controls.

Found this by doing a google search on CnRL

But notice the way it's abbreviated. CnRL. That would make me think, personally, we're looking for three words, not one (Cn. R. L.). However, Infc definitely sounds like infection to me.

I just can't understand why, if it was actualy "Control", it wouldn't be Cnrl instead.

Well what about looking at the picture as individual parts and then proceeding to analyze them as so? Err... what I mean is, the organic portion of the slide has three parts; the darker portions(all of which seem to be the same material), the whiter portion that seems to connect outside of the photo, and the blob that is in the black portion. I have no history nor knowledge with this sort of thing, but can any these individual factors be distinguished?

Also, could the HR represent hours? Perhaps this is one slide of many that documents activity over time?

[violentvixen]

Yeah, if control is abbreviated at all it's often Ctrl. You also usually don't label the pictures as "control", but I may be reading into this too much.

568 hours is 23.6 days. I like the idea, although again, hour is usually abbreviated Hr or hr.

The stringy black bits make me think of muscle cells or sperm, but I'm just not sure.

At first I thought the blob of small circular white cells was supposed to be the Flood, now I think the black stuff is the Flood and the white cells are spores of some kind or a really weird nucleus. The black stuff does seem to be "infiltrating" the white.

[violentvixen]

One other thing I thought of.

MI can stand for Mixed Infection. In this case MI is N/A (not applicable) so maybe the Flood is the only thing involved here?

[OneAnansi]

Right! The white does look broken up by the black. The blob however seems intact. Perhaps the picture is the testing of the blobs resistance to the black?
