Sure! What time are you planning on going, and which city?
If you're able, pop into IRC chat, too. I'm sure you'll find a helping hand.

Btw, all are welcome.

Intimation says S3 will remain active, does that mean that we have sufficient information to find the next control point?

 		The whole "S3 will remain active" thing just means that if we find and report the CP then she will come out of hibernation early and respond.

The only reason why I thought those 3 were the only active ones was because I didn't see the links for them.

However, there are still 5 blanks on the collage....
Sorry for the mishap.

 		I'll be around during a good part of that time tomorrow, so, I'll lend a hand if need be.

Yep, It means that's all we get for now. Whether it's enough to figure out the next control point.... only time will tell. Smile

It technically doesn't come out of hibernation, instead S3 is a subroutine that runs while in hibernation.

So, it's not all we get after all.

 		Welcome, 0N1MUSH4!
To my understanding, the six sides of the boxes puzzle have been solved. Decoding the garbled text in order to find more clips for the BROKEN-PIECES page is the current task. There also are the gps missions which remain undone, but this garbled mess might be a replacement for that.

ahh kk. wel unfortunatly im in Ft Bliss TX and cant do the missions. But I think i can get a few ppl in on this. I have a contact or two in NY, Cali, and St Louis. With luck i can get them in on this. no promises tho.

as for the garbledness...ive rearanged them in 4 or 5 different ways and im not seeing any rl pattern. then again i have no idea what the setup or style is. Im thinking it might be a web-addy or a type of key code. any ideas or breakthroughs?


btw im on GMT-7:00 Mountion Time + daylight savings

 		Having a little poke with that garbled data, it appears to be base64 Encoded (Each section is 1 character too short to be a base64 stream in itself, but you can pad with "=" on the end. The sets of 8, however, are complete base64 phrases). Unfortunately, decoding it reveals gobbledegook, which doesn't really help us at all.

 		RE: [TRAILHEAD] Intimation
READY-OR-NOT
While I was initially against revealing READY-OR-NOT to Sys or S3 earlier, the updates to READY-OR-NOT since then seem to be the PM's way of saying, "You've found the control point. It's okay to turn her in now," and have thus changed my mind. Does anyone have any objections to at least offering up READY-OR-NOT to S3 to see if that moves the game along?

hee hee!

Binary decoder gives us: �<0>0�

or something like that. It doesn't post the same way.
Given that S is trying to get Sis' attention, I agree with you Koreth. I think it's time to let intimation know where she is.

eta: This new chunk of binary looks like a pignose to me. :@
son of edit: Maybe it's a hint to what to do with the garbled text... ASCII drawing?

Given that Essy is now expressly wondering why S3 hasn't found her yet, I concur. I guess "Don't trust her!" was not intended to be the equivalent of "Don't tell her where I am!"

Binary code on READY-OR-NOT
The binary code is a pignose smiley face :@)

If you look closely, you'll see that the proportions of each binary block are comparable to that of the size of the monospace characters used in 80x25 mode on old DOS boxes. the 1s are imposed onto the blocks of 0s to make the :@) smiley
