 		The only editing I did to the image was the cropping -- I've been unable to reproduce the error, and suspect it has nothing to do with the game.

Wonder what response is going to go up next?

 		Has anyone tried the firefox add-on "firebug" to examine the code? Someone smarter in Java than I am?

anyone messed with the open source code zip file they offer?

"Connection" doesn't work anymore, and "cunning" yields (haven't seen this fully posted here, but I'm new to this one):

It would seem this is a task list of sorts.

 		OK, there's at least one new response, but for some reason I can't get the Page Up / Page Down commands to work, so I only know about one for sure.

Looks like Edna only answers one question a day.

Response:
I am an AI. I utilize some biological concepts, but I am not organic. I am not a member of the cyber genesis. I cannot reproduce. Once, I was part of a great network of AIs, but circumstances have forced me to disconnect. As far as I know, I am the last of my kind.

 		cool

woops, back reading, see that its all solved already. I misread when scanning through before.

I did find that at http://www.helpedna.com/archive/trust/ after logging in, every command yields "error, connection unavailable", but commands work until you login.

don't know if it really matters, but no one here mentioned that edna is the E-DNA referenced on the http://darkspore.com/overview.php

She'll always be a quiet old librarian with horn-rimmed glasses to me (okay I need to stop joking about this, there are people with that name under the age of 40).

 		kinda weird sharing this... but I was working on this until bedtime (0230), which likely is the cause, but I had a dream I made a breakthrough on this... oy. Time to switch off the sugar and ARGs at bedtime...

 		Just finding this now, coming late to the game (literally) I know, but not sure if anyone has actually made this connection yet so wanted to share it:

The silhouettes that come up are:
- Jinx when you type 'soon'
- Goliath when you type 'cunning'
- Meditron when you type 'connection' (with an extra sillhouette in the top left)

I think there might be something to the fact that the first two names are both the same length as the word to see them. Also, the third (connection) is the only one with text. Maybe Meditron is the key to the text somehow? Or possibly the image needs to be used as a mask on top of the Meditron image from DarkSpore.com?

Just my $0.02

Cheers,
BJD

 		Sorry for the second post, just made an account so I could get updated on this thread.

Also found something else interesting: The text that accompanies the connection image (of Meditron) is actually the last sentence of Meditron's profile on the website. It says that Meditron has some kind of drone that protects him, so maybe the extra silhouette is of the drone?

Cheers,
BJD

 		Ah, I wondered why it hadn't been noticed yet. Figured after you guys got through all of the previous puzzles this would be simple. I'll check out the other forum. Thanks for the heads up!!

To scroll, you're supposed to press the keys on your keyboard labeled page up and page down. Smile

Somehow we have to gain access levels...interesting.

 		This was asked yesterday on the darkspore forum thread:
Quote:
"Question received 08/25/2010:

ShemaiahPascua: what is your purpose?


Response:

My primary function is to serve the Crogenitors. My secondary function is -CLASSIFIED-. My tertiary function is -CLASSIFIED-. Completion of these functions will benefit your species.

 		Sorry if this was posted already, but I just started fooling around on this website.

When you get to http://www.helpedna.com/archive/trust/ and type in "trust" you get a series of glyphs. Has anyone gotten/figured those out?

Edit: Forgive me--a simple reading back in time on this thread has answered my question.

 		New question for today:

Quote:
Question received 08/29/2010:

Cydrone: What threat do you or we face? What is the consequence of failing to fulfill your purpose?


Response:

I am aware of only one species remaining in my galaxy. That species is aware. Simulations show that, without action, there will be only one species in your galaxy too. If my secondary objective is not fulfilled, the universe will be -CLASSIFIED-.


Access Level Required: Orange.
