Found a cryptic image! http://xenomata.com/prim_ax_point.html. And some sort of "access becon", http://xenomata.com/frgmnt0.html. Theres writing behind the picture, I'll try playing with the image. I am hopeful this turns out to be a good ARG. Google's description of xenomata.com comes out to Xenomata is not a game. Xenomata is a transmission. Stand by for transfer of access codes and control protocol specifications.

Behaverial anomalies? Maby some sort of top secret government experiment? I think the demolition team went missing somehow.

this is all related to some sort of mining operation. The sites references a news letter, though i cant seem to find it on the page. That might shed some light on whats going on.

I'm still not getting anywhere with the binary. I did it manually and am still getting weired symbols. They all are comintg out in either the extended ASCII sections or symols. I don't think the numbers represent ASCII text. I just tried going to http://www.xenomata.com/~root (the home folder for the administrator account), and it bounced me to a completly different website, all in German, that said "access denied" fsdata.se
