That is definitely a nebula. AKA a cloud of gas in space.

It's speculated that the first life formed in nebulae...

I would have to disagree I think that that may be a super massive blackhole, some theories say that a black hole, when seen close enough or with a powerful enough telescope, may be very colorful in appearence, I say super massive because it looks like it may be in the middle of a galaxy/

But how . . . ?

Now we know why Boomerang is significant. However, not sure how we get that BEFORE opening Server 4 to enter to get the key . . . Help?

From the Artifact Location site (http://206.16.223.76/) if you wait a while the stars slowly disappear. Not sure if anythign will happen when they all go away but i'll keep the window open to find out.

Also, in the source there is a URL for http://www.akqa-staging.com/topsecret.xml which seems to keep the messages that the flash file shows. Going to http://www.akqa-staging.com/ seems like a very suspicious site.

Thanks, but . . .

I'm still trying to reconstruct the sequence of events to get Server 4 open.

I thought we needed to enter the password "Boomerang" inorder to get the key to OPEN Server 4. The boomerang nebula photo was not accessible until then, therefore, you seem to imply a chicken-egg situation. Please clarify.

This is just a brief overview how I unlocked server four. I know I wasn't the first to get to it, but I did find it on my own, and I am the first to explain how...


Ok, so after reading Thomas Sanatos's newest post at Amazon, I added mailto:profvol49@hotmail.com to my MSN account. It turned out to be a bot, so you have to ask it very specific questions.

Jonas Volman says:
Would you like to see one of these locations?

Yes

Sassafras says:
Thank you.
Jonas Volman says:
You're welcome.


And do you see in there? The redirect was for the Bounce Path Control. Voila.


The "boomerang" password was just found early be decompiling the .swf
