 		The latest tweet, from about 2 hours ago.

The remaining foundations around me crumbled, leaving a barren wasteland. One remaining sentinel inched forward, pulling itself awkwardly.

It gathered the scraps together. I couldn't see what it was making, until it stopped, motionless, and rolled to the side.

 		10min ago...

There it left me a message, made from pieces of the sentinels themselves, the very sentinels lying still around me.


Is any of this making sense yet, or are we all waiting breathlessly to find out what it said?

 		I'm kind of holding out to see when they will stop...New Year's is still 9 hours away for those of us in the Eastern time zone, and I'm wondering if this has been timed to happen around New Year's.

I wasn't able to interpret it all in time- the sentinels and the message itself were slowly covered by the blowing dust. Then it was gone.

The message simply began: "This was ..... "

 		Did we have a link to this yet?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf6q8EgmVEA

Looks like the number sequences are meant to go with the end of the Hollow Men:
Code:
2882 85 281 655 281 51683 131s
this is the way the world ends


Code:
632 7986 a 3256 338 a 4822359
not with a bang but a whimper

 		Hmm...the song in the video is certainly enchanting. I am not sure what this'll shape out to be...but I am watching for now.

Nothing entirely useful at the moment to add besides that I'm keeping an eye on this one.

 		It may be that we've found all we're supposed to for the moment.
(Assuming MrToasty found the YouTube video by Googling part(s) of the number string.).
Both a current Google search for say, "4822359 " and a search within the YouTube site, itself give that video as a result. But the page for the video, itself, seems to have been edited to remove the number string.
It's nowhere in the source, either.

Found it by googling "Intimation; Foreboding Dream" (without quotes).

I'm sorry if this was already explained by someone earlier, but how do the numbers sequence properly with the letters? Is this some kind of logical coding or was this solved by "a shot in the dark" guess.

The reason I ask is because I don't see how it could've been figured out when the numbers seem to represent multiple letters... such as 2= t, s, i, m, a while other numbers like 5 could have the same letter underneath like 55= ay in the word "way" in line one.

I'm rather confused. Any help would be appreciated Smile

 		A bit confused here too actually. The end of the video puts those lines with the numbers, otherwise I would have never connected them. Definitely not just a simple substitution.

 		Some of the numbers assigned to the letter are their value in numerology...

I.E. T's value is 2, H's is 8, U's is 3, I's is 9...

But looking at it, I'm thinking this is probably not the goal since I can't pinpoint any pattern to it...

n's value is listed as 3, 5, and 6...the numerology I know lists n's value as '5'. So I'm really not sure.

For reference, been using the english letter value chart on the wiki (here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology) to double-check, I don't have all this memorized lol.

Could possibly dig up my wife's numerology for dummies book though...hmm.

T is also identified with 8 in the "with" and "but" of "not with a bang but a whimper"

I don't think that completely ruins the idea, but something to keep in mind.

Parts of the numerology route works, though, so...more digging in that area?

 		Yeah...realized that after posting, same goes for n as well as a few other letters.

Quite confusing! I'll keep my nose at it though, see what comes up.

 		Maybe it's a pattern that we just can't discern at the moment... I guess what's bugging me right now is that I realy don't think that this is the case. I get the feeling that we were never supposed to actually figure out the sequence. It was just given to us at the time that the PM wanted us to see it.

Right now we're just being led, but haven't really been given much of a chance to interact or figure things out. I'm guessing this will change in the future and lead to some more involvement. I just sorta feel like we're all just burning brain cells and spinning our wheels right now for nothing.

Just have to wait and see.
