ahh yes, that works

i 90 81 72 63 54 45 36 27 18 09 i
r 990 882 765 666 567 288 099 r

9=i
18=r
4=d

so the pattern would be what the common factor is in any sequence of numbers... well, on the portal site, so far.

so, still, what's the pattern here:

Could the JOB Blah blah blah bit be the Book of Job from the bible perhaps? It just doesn't seem right

It reminds me a bit if Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise.

It looks like it will take quite a while for that timer to run out. Any ideas on what we should do in the meantime?

I'd love to know what the correct solve was for that encrypted message.

Anyway, looking at the dates provided there. The Dreamscape system was first started at 12:00 on 09/04/2033, and current game time is some 77 years later at 02:09:2110. No idea if that's going to be important or not but thought I'd mention it.

And, it would seem the players are still stuck in the Dreamscape as, if I'm reading that right, the protocol "Wake the players" was interrupted by Master Guide 01a (though, if any of them have been in there for 77 years, it's probably for the best!). So perhaps we're looking to help the players get out of the Dreamscape?

EDIT- The portal page has changed. We've now got the following message:-

Here is the correct mechanic and notation

4*(15-4)/= 56 but (4*15)-4=56

its (a*b)-a

edit because math hates me!:
so (46144*38067975)-46144=1756608592256

Nice work folks. I've tried firing that number in to the website in various different formats without any success. I've also emailed the number to arklightSPLATinbox.com.
