Ok, so.....

The two hearts at the top of the screen have the codes 'Gt gp' and 'St xd'.

The two daggers have the codes 'rxe' and 'kt'.

Interspersing the diagonals gives

'Revera Decipio' in rot11

which means 'A true thing deceives' or 'reality misleads' or words to that effect (Latin: 're vera decipio')

re vera: in truth, in fact, in reality
decipio: catch, ensnare, entrap, deceive, mislead, beguile, elude, cheat.

EDIT

Just noticed that the computer screen in the middle says:

'theoroderofoborot.com/XVXVXVXV.php'

And yes you did read that correctly...it says 'oroder' not 'order'.

Also, am I correct in thinking that Vlad, Genia and Ben are all dead?

EDIT2:

Aspen's poem is, as Dagada said, called 'The Heart of the Tree', so not yet sure where 'Sterling' fits in. Sterling Silver?

This week's theme appears to be hearts.

I suspect Sterling relates to Sterling silver - a reference to the heart we left atop the wolf's head beneath the tree. Possibly Aspen is giving a suggestion that not everything was as dark as we thought that night?

To see what crap Ben got himself involved in? I'm not sure what you'd gain from it. It's a forum with strange people, powerful people I really don't want to piss off.
Claire Vanessa Atalanta 04 October at 23:20 Report
Ok. It's just nothing makes sense to me at the moment. I've been told i'm in danger and need to leave my home. That ben is no longer him but his boss jayden lives inside him and that he ate the heart of the body ben was in. That a professor that i have only seen fleetingly in corridors takes a special interest in me and that this weird society has contacts in the town i live in and knowledge of my ancestory. I just wanted to try and understand, to have something tangible. I feel like my world has slid to the side and i don't know which side to hold on to.


Should I let her in?

I think she should stay well away. With her symbolic significance The Order could well view her as a prime target - especially if they know what Vlad may have recalled.

I agree...probably best not to let her go anywhere near.

Any luck with finding the note/letter that you guys got on Hampstead Heath?

EDIT: The PM changed the link in the computer screen from 'oroder' to 'www.theorderofoborot.com/XVXVXVXV.php'. Was obviously a typo.

Still can't get it to do anything though. I've tried:

XVXVXVXV.php
15151515.php
60.php

All non-existent pages.

EDIT2:

www.theorderofoborot.com/darkness.php

now leads to a computer screen displaying 'Screen Locked'.

Right at the bottom of the screen there a line of text on white...just beneath the bottom of the black square....can't make out what it says though.

Anyone noticed this: http://www.theorderofoborot.com/revera.php

Look carefully at the very bottom, a countdown.

The countdown still takes us to Tuesday, 21 December 2010, 05:27:42, same as it was on the old .../darkness.php page.

Think that might be one hour out due to clocks changing (but I'm always confused by clocks changing so no idea if it's 5.27 or 7.27). Either way sunrise on that day isn't until 8.04.

The new screen at www.theorderofoborot.com/revera.php is almost identical to the screen that used to be at .../darkness.php.

New post on Oborot by JAD...

As for those who left a heart behind, needless to say, their scent was quite obvious to one with a sharp nose...

Once Albion's 3 gates are confirmed, the remaining ones can be realligned and the full power will flow into our research completely.

I thank you all for your efforts thus far. Maintain high awareness until the fifteen days start though - while daylight fades, shadows can still be created.

Together with a picture of what looks to be Anubis.

Oh, yeah. That would be Anubis that turned up to the ritual Very Happy
I still haven't found that damned note from Apsen.
Saw a car number plate with JAD on today Very Happy

Ah, flattery is the best form of compliment Kat.
Your numbers mean more than mine did though I see...

Well done.
Jayden

I don't have the foggiest what they're on about.
Uni work is frying my brain.
I do wonder if Arthur Conan Doyle is a relative of Jayden... contemporary of SBG, also wrote of fairies and other mythology, oh, and wrote about some detective bloke. *shrug* probably irrelevant.

Any ideas where this picture was taken?

Also, I'm wondering if the 'signal weak' and 'affirmative' messages are a form of code.

Radio signals use:

10-1 as signal weak
10-4 as affirmative
10-9 as repeat

etc.

There are 98 10-x codes in total - almost 10 squared.

I'm pretty sure that was taken in The Hill Garden where the ritual took place. I might be wrong, but it does look like some of the images that were snapped there.

(OOG, yeah, I think I took that shot... Razz)

EDITed for more updates:
O is twittering again.

No more X/X/X dates for now - back to work. People looking for numbers with meaning - if only someone could give a clue?

Something to do with Kat's post?

Oh, and on the Ororot boards:
Quote:
The Order of Oborot apologise - but all members should please not post anything for the next few days.
We have to realign the main servers as there have been some problems with downloading and uploading.

All service should resume by the day of Mars.

Private posts can be read and replied to - it is the main boards that are realigning.
Thank you.

EDIT 2: Thoughts
Could have sworn I'd put this up already, can't find it though. *shrug*

Gold shines in the darkness 79
My curriculum vitae grows once more 105 (In Roman numerals) OR 3,22 in a-1 cipher
Ten squared, you see? 100

[affirmative] 10-4
Einstein was close to three figures 99 (Einstenium)
[affirmative] 10-4
[-signal weak-] 10-1

Linnell's paired footsteps walk closer 32 (Footsteps, TMBG song)
close Bi the science room. 83

[affirmative] 10-4

The Owl nebula looks down on all MO97 OR NGC3587
[repeat] 10-9
[Yes] ?1
[No] ?0
The Owl Nebula looks down on all… MO97 OR NGC3587

Is the 10-4 stuff powers or multiplication? Or even subtraction?

EDIT: Numbers make my brain stupid. Can't work out yes and no unless it is as simple as 1 and 0? The rest I'm sort of certain about.

So the numbers as above are:

79 105 100 104 99 104 101 32 83 104 97 109 1 0 97

Thought these might be decimal ASCII codes, but they translate as:

O i d h c h e <space> S h a m ? ? a

In other words, seemingly meaningless.

I'm certain your numbers are right, except maybe CV grows once more = 106 (CV+1)?

Still unsure about the Yes/No thing though.

More thinking...

Jayden mentioned on the Oborot board about realigning stuff, wondering if this is related to that, or if he has spread himself to thin, tween Genia, Vlad, and Ben.

EDIT- Ben is quoting from a Korn song - Too Late I'm Dead.
