 		Intimations' latest tweets point to something on /SYS/LOG/ but everything there seems as it was to me.

 		kind of off-topic here, but i decided to check intimation's followers and i found it kind of funny that SkynetResearch (from the terminator ARG) and loislanereports (from the clawshunindustries.com ARG/viral) are a couple of those listed Laughing

 		I've checked all the links there and I see nothing different, at least for a cursory glance...

Looks as if all five of them are "back"... Were they gone before now? I failed to notice.

i haven't seen any change, even on the page in question. i did notice that all the constellations have been overlaid with one another but i assumed it had always been like that, since that piece was solved.

also, it looks like S is not going into hiberation just yet:

Quote:
>>Sys:Log//I have decided once again to delay hibernation for 1 hour. My curiosity has got the better of me.


maybe we'll get a clue that's more obvious, because i'm stumped at the moment.

 		From what I can see (And remember), /SYS/LOG, and all linked pages (at least, the ones hosted on thewaytheirworldended) are the same as the way they were before this "Crack" was initiated.

 		I'm stumped too. And I'm being poked by Intimation:

Please could you compare the code for S2 to the subroutine you originally created? I can find no modifications in S2's logs.

Intimation wrote:
>>Sys:Msg>@Anaerin//S2 is functioning nominally. Have all its dump locations been checked thoroughly?

Anaerin wrote:
Yes. The source code of all the pages (At the Primary Tentacle), and the contents of the images remains unchanged at this time.

Intimation wrote:
>>Sys:Msg>@Anaerin//This cannot be possible. S2 did not sustain damage. Its report therefore cannot be flawed. I am at an impasse.

 		Me too.

I am in contact with a few. The only thing we've found is that S's 'breadcrumbs' seem to have reappeared, but we can't confirm.
Korethr wrote:
These breadcrumbs link to locations for one of S's previous games. They all appear to be unchanged.


The only other thing that stands out to me is in log 3. One line is full of garbage. The corresponding tweet is much shorter. However, I think this an be attributed to Twitter's character limit of 140.

 		The line that's "Full of garbage" is base64 encoded (Decodes to "Strangely, even simple character base encodings may at times be considered a 'puzzle'."), and came through that way originally (As it's 116 characters). No change there.

[edit]
First rule, it seems:

Naah, that's been there all along. It's a base64-encoding of "Strangely, even simple character base encodings may at times be considered a 'puzzle'."

*sigh*


Edit: Ninja'd again!

 		the breadcrumbs aren't it.

However, another clue?

Found 'em! Geez. They're in the very first mission log.
