Well, from the four videos I've looked at, this is all I've found:

0100000101101100(.eu) - Al
0100001101100001(.eu) - Ca
0100011001100101(.eu) - Fe
0101001101101001(n/a) - Si
01001111(.com) - O

In the videos:
0100000101101100(.eu) - Al
Code:
19886
VI
*#%^@ = 83562


0100001101100001(.eu) - Ca
Code:
87465
VI
*#%^@ = 83562


0100011001100101(.eu) - Fe
Code:
94371
VI
*#%^@ = 83562


* 01001111(.com) - O
Code:
Fe Ca Si Al
|*^|.|#%|.|*#@|.|*^@| = 86.35.832.862
VI (black frame with VI in the bottom right cornerj)
-04|17|09


O stands out. "Fe Ca Si Al", the four shifted numbers (not an IP though), and the date: 4/17/09

Also, where's the prequel comic? I wanna see that Very Happy

Found Si:

http://www.0101001101101001.jp/

It's the same as the others (O being the odd one out). The 5 digit # in this one is: 15048. When strung together in the order that they appear in 'O' (Fe Ca Si Al), we get: 94371 87465 15048 19886.

Gonna play with the audio a bit, see if anything jumps out at me.

Also- awesome Very Happy


edit: Ok, I think I might have it-

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Before trying to change the symbols into numbers, I put all the info as-is into columns, in order, to see if anything jumped out.

Fe
94371
*#%^@
*^

Ca
87465
*#%^@
#%


Si
15048
*#%^@
*#@

Al
19886
*#%^@
*^@

What jumped out was that the 5 symbol code (*#%^@) found on each page used the same symbols as the code that looked very much like an IP address ( |*^|.|#%|.|*#@|.|*^@| ). I decided to try that 5 symbol code as a key, and from there it was pretty easy.

Taking *#%^@ and assuming *=1st, #=2nd, %=3rd, ^=4th, @=5th, I matched the symbols in the "IP Address" to their corresponding position in each 5 digit number. Example-

94371 = *^ = 1st and 4th digit = 97.

That gave me 97.74.158.186, which is an existing IP address, and currently displays a blank page.

A google search for that IP showed me that some trekkie forum-goers had also solved this, and they found that if you check around in that range of IPs you find that 97.74.158.181 to .184 all correspond to the flash pages we've been viewing. So, I'm guessing we check back on the 17th to see what shows up =)

I hope this plays out for a while. I like the style, not to mention the subject matter.

Sorry for the double post.
Here's something else:




I'm working on comping together all the black BLIPS, I think they make an image of Nero's ship, the Narada.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
those symbols made me think of the binary code id deciphered once,
but this ime it was the ASCII which is American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
so i did that, and this is what came out:

|*^|. = 124 7C 42 2A 94 5E 124 7C 46 2E
|#%|. = 124 7C 35 23 37 25 124 7C 46 2E
|*//@|. = 124 7C 42 2A 47 2F 47 2F 64 40 124 7C 46 2E
|*^@| = 124 7C 42 2A 94 5E 64 40 124 7C

sorry if that doesnt help alot. im still working on further translation.
oh! and i did this too - *#%^@ = 422A 3523 3725 945E 6440


also, Fe = Iron 26
Ca= Calcium 20
Si= Silicon 14
Al= aluminum 13

maybe the atomic number has something to do with that..
im kinda just guessing.

and finally, - 04|17|09 looks like a date to me...

I'm sorry for butting in, but has anyone else noticed that the engergy pattern looks terribly much like the energy ribbon/gravimetric field/temporal distortion that Dr Soron tried to use as a doorway to get to the temporal neksus in that old Star Trek movie Generations?

You need a Japanese translation, here is Japanese translation Smile

テスト中、テスト中。誰かいる?僕が時間より早いのはわかってるんだけど、誰か応答もらえた?

"Test... Test... Is anybody here? Although, I see, the time is too early right now, has anybody got a response?"

I suppose, if it's an ARG running by JJ Abrams, it could be Ganu. Or Kishin. Or whoever Smile
Tagruato anybody?

P.S. For a chat reply the text doesn't have a date/time informations. But I'm definitely in now. Smile
