Extinction Page

While looking for the source of the woman image, I found the original drawing here.

It seems it was drawn by Carl Sagan's wife and is part of an image that was carried on the Pioneer 10 & 11 spacecrafts when they were launched into space in the early 1970's. The image is a message to any extraterrestrials that might see it. If you read a summary of the plaques, you'll see binary was used as a form of communication.

This probably has nothing to do with the solve for that page, but thought it was interesting and you never know. Confused

Decoded B5 and got something new: a page of numbers.

Edit:

It's the golden ratio

Edit:

haha, try typing "root"

Edit:

typing "builders" returns "we are the builders"

Edit:

Hint? typing "travel" returns "travel target set: 1980 unified states". Same with "target".

Edit:

"eic" returns "the corporation"

Edit:

!!!

Something I did activated another grid square! B4!

Edit:

Just another "orbits".

atomicthumbs, most of the puzzles have been solved over at the forums on ei2.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
PHI was solved by taking numbers that were misplaced in the golden ratio and turning them into a word. I believe the answer ended up being Mauna Kea.

It is curious that typing eic returns 'the company'... which means this cube is heavily tied to EI2, in past present or future.

Well, we pretty much figured out that the squares are never the same, deathscent, but thanks anyways. And atomic, we have the answers for all of the puzzles bar the original Evolution puzzle.

Playing around with the interface, I've found a couple more commands that work...

dir - dir the file system is locked. unable to list files. builder access only.

cd - the file system is locked. unable to change directories. builder access only.

*ETA

clear - clears the screen

Corporation - legendary developer of artificial intelligence systems

life - fourty two

love - help save us

EI^2 = EIC?
i think this is somewhat common sense...
from
Electron Innovations Incorporated
to
Electron Innovations inCorporated

thought i'd put it down in case someone doesn't have it clue in...
also, can someone explain exactly how to convert the text given by the site into images? thanks!
edit: example would be nice ;3

I'm beginning to wonder what the purpose of unlocking the puzzles serves. Why would a future computer be testing us? To see if we're "worthy"?

Image a415, by the way, is a quote from HG Wells' Time Machine:

"All the old constellations had gone from the sky, however: that slow movement which is imperceptible in a hundred human lifetimes, had long since rearranged them in unfamiliar groupings. But the Milky Way, it seemed to me, was still the same tattered streamer of star-dust as of yore."

Compare with the text provided:

"Old constellatons gne rom sky hwever slow movement wich impeceptile hundrd humn lfetimes lng snce rearanged unamiliar grupings ut milky semed wa sill sae tatered streamer star-dut yore"

MISSING LETTERS: IOFOHRBEAIOIRFOBESTMTS
MISSING WORDS: All the had the that is in a had them in the way it to me the of as of
PUTTING THE TWO TOGETHER: All the i had o f the o that slow h b in a e a i had o i r them in f o. B the Way, it e to me, s t the m t of s as of

Not sure what to make of that.

butterfly effect; it doesn't want to outright say, DO THIS!, but instead ease into it to cause the smallest effect possible. we may avoid the major catastrophe, but there's still others that may or may not form due to this. it is up to us to understand what to do with the information given.
besides, why know the future immediately, when we can work to get it ;3
