 		Nice find! Didn't even think of checking there. I uploaded in case of errors. I notice that, in the image with the rotation and overlay, there are at least two sets of eight with five chevrons revealed. Maybe enough for a guess?

EDIT: Update... didn't... work?

 		wxsniper's layers, when turned to match symbols, has two lines with 6 of 8 symbols.

Seven down works on Azeroth, name changes to "Open=1" but nothing else changes??????????? WTF???

Eta

Perhaps need all 32 to gain access?
Using order from the sign up page: http://downstream.brainclouds.net/

Azeroth = 81765342

Maybe next solve will be "Open=2" and so on

 		Great work folks! Just a couple links to make this marginally easier...

The servers:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=602975#602975

The chevrons
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=17368

And yeah, I'm guessing we need 32 of them...

Is this a better overlay?

ETA2: I don't think we rotate the second one? Directions on chevrons should match, right? Overlay2 below. cornfuzed. I think I'm making matters worse...

ETA3 I am so dense sometimes... Try this. Now?

 		Right pancito, the other one! Smile

And if you could, rotate 90 degrees so the chevrons are upright.

 		Thats the ticket pancito! Beautiful.

Anytime in Honolulu is a good time!

(Would have gotten 10-A , the other 6 of 8, by now but they expect me to work Sad )

Later...

10-a is krull

Krull= 51372684
(corrected)

Still only get (Open=1)

 		Nope, from what I can tell the Open=1 is simply saying that it's opened, as in programming languages 1 is often synonymous with True.
I wonder what order we have to put them in... is it in the oder of the list we got from filesys?

EDIT: Yuppers, all of 'em have to be opened. The last line of Gibson's message (who sent that to him, anyways?) read:
Quote:
and once the worlds fall
the path to light shall be unsealed

Once the WORLDS fall... the servers are all named after planets... and then the 'path to light' is unsealed. Endgame?

 		Maybe only 32 of them, since 1. that's how many keys there are, and 2. that's what the puzzle poem said.

Quote:

from the parts numbered six
the thirty-two will be revealed
and once the worlds fall
the path to light shall be unsealed


ETA: Looks like we're waiting for another overlay. I suppose we could get 12A since that's 6 possibilities x 32 servers left = 192 possibles. I've slogged through worse, but it's a young person's game. Either that or I need about five more cups of stimulant drink.

Where else could one be hidden? Anyone checked the mail accounts recently? I'm guessing there's a B0002 out there somewhere, but...

ETA2: no my literalness. My bad.

 		Yeah, that's what I meant by 'all' ^_^ I thought we'd already established that. My bad.

 		In the powerpoint it mentions a NetSec imaging key... maybe someone who works there can send an email asking for it?

 		Email from Gibson
Just got this from gibson:

Quote:

I'm afraid and alone, and I don't know what to do. I'm reaching out to you because you commented on my blog; i don't know if you're friend or foe, but it can't get much worse now, can it?

Feds busted in to my mom's house, took my setup from my room in the basement. I've been living in my POS car for a week now! Being "on the run" is nothing like the movies... it SUCKS! I can't take much more of this!!!

She's still gone without a trace, and they think I have something to do with this! What the hell did I do?!?

I know I can't take it to the authorities; Feds and cops won't believe me, and with this witch hunt they got going they might shoot on sight. I've bene framed to the N-th degree here. I have to do this my way, with my people.

I found some people that can help. The Runners know how to get in, how to find stuff out. I need to clear my name, but more importantly I need to know that she's safe. I'm afraid she might be gone, adn i just can't deal with that.

Find them... "You know the question, just as I did."

- GC


EDIT: Unfortunately i'm at work atm and can't follow this up till tonight

EDIT 2: Replied to the email with:

Quote:
Hey man! Great to hear from you. You can definitely consider me friend not foe. I'm glad they haven't found you...i'll get my posse onto this and see what we can do about clearing your name!

 		I got the same email.

Just as an FYI, that last line - You know the question, just as I did - is from The Matrix. I'm not sure if that's a hint or anything, but it might be worth looking into considering he hasn't really mentioned The Matrix until now that I can recall.

 		C/P from IMDB in case it's relevant:
Quote:
Trinity: I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us, Neo. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.
Neo: What is the Matrix?
Trinity: The answer is out there, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.


In that case, the response to his statement is "What is the Matrix?"

Replied with:

Hand me the red pill, I'm in.

Friend, definitely.


Just remember, the truth will be your greatest ally...and we will find her.


So....its good to SAY we can help, and ideas on where to start? Razz
