GoldenNova, after watching the video you get after entering the retrieval code, I'm getting the feeling that Zach's lost memories might be of time spent in "Program 127." Maybe he was one of the researchers? That might explain why he's so blase about all of this--and might also explain the shadows. If he remembers some of it, even subconsciously, it might make him less wary/afraid?

Also he sent me an email back re. his position when he was recorded the last two times by the Sentinel program--he was on the facility's grounds, so it appears that whatever monitoring devices there are, they're not moving around and don't extend beyond the facility.

Hey, guys. Maybe I'm just blind and mistook it for a desert or something, but did the artifact always have that light colored gash in it?
http://www.sentinelcontrolnetwork.net/amon.html
It's mostly on one face, but the top bit stretches off onto another. I noticed that it actually makes the edge between the faces it stretches to misshapen, unlike the other edges of it.
It's probably been like that the whole time and I didn't notice, but just in case, I thought I'd ask.

Idk... It always looked like that to me. If you see vid 2, not the blog ones but the one that was released the 10-10-10, the pyramid appears at the end and I think it is pretty much the same. Smile

Check out the diagnostic report!

I'm really curious about what kind of "emissions" this thing is tracking, actually. From the artifact, from the outside... from Zach?

Edit: Oh man. Whatever those emissions are, they apparently aren't good for our intrepid blogger! D: Hopefully he'll address what happened out there in his newest video. If not, I guess one of us will have to tell him.

Also, I'm taking screencaps of the diagnostics page so we can track what order the statuses of the gates and proximity warnings change. Don't know if that'll be useful, but I figure I might as well.

Check out new log.

So according to the event log...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
he passes away for 10 seconds, but for a while we cannot see what happens there, so he could actually travel in time and go back to the same point, or have mutated into whatever for a couple of seconds


Spoiler might not be needed, but I did not want to "spoil" the video for anyone coming here to see what was new.

I've just sent him an email explaining the recent vid we saw of him. Asked him whether he was scared yet?

Did you notice no time passes during the static?

Normal over here too, also Firefox. It'll be interesting to see whether he recovers any more memories after this, or whether he loses them. I expect we might not hear from him for a day or so... that's got to be at least a little bit unsettling if he's aware of what happened.

Can't. Wait. For. Next. Blog! >.< I might send him an email just to ask if he's okay, though I know it's probably overkill since Seadevil4 already has.

Edit: If anybody's getting tired of me flinging random speculations around just tell me... but I had a thought. The Diagnostics page says that emissions have been detected, and the only thing at the facility that we KNOW of that might be emitting anything is the artifact. Maybe it's trying to make contact with Zach, and that explains the latest log?

I think emissions are from Artifact. I also think they are not hazardous in the traditional sense, but that they had affected Zach because of his own thing with these dreams. I think that when the interference was there, something else happened that we did not get to see. Maybe the shadow appeared, maybe Zach time traveled, maybe... idk, some crazy stuff lol


I am ok with speculations and hypothesis, muse. Very Happy

OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY

New blog up on Zach's end, and a new transmission on the Archive Communication page! After running the binary it through a decoder I got this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
JVETFEJPJFG TFIV DRKIZO IVTFEJKILTKZFE YRJ WRZCVU. JFDV WIRXDVEKJ JKZCC VOZJK YFNVMVI. JFDV DFULCVJ YRMV IVTVZMVU GRIKZRC IVJKFIVJ REU RERCPJK ZJ JTYVULCVU WFI RE RLXDVEK JYFIKCP. VDZJJZFEJ YRMV SVVE UVKVTKVU REU JVEKZEVCJ YRMV SVVE UZJGRKTYVU KF DFEZKFI. JVETFE37


Okay, looks like this time it was written in Rot9... interesting! The decoded message is as follows:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
SENCONSYSOP CORE MATRIX RECONSTRUCTION HAS FAILED. SOME FRAGMENTS STILL EXIST HOWEVER. SOME MODULES HAVE RECEIVED PARTIAL RESTORES AND ANALYST IS SCHEDULED FOR AN AUGMENT SHORTLY. EMISSIONS HAVE BEEN DETECTED AND SENTINELS HAVE BEEN DISPATCHED TO MONITOR. SENCON37


Hmmm.... "analyst," not "analysis." Wonder who/what that is?
P.S. I checked out the artifact just to see if it had been at all affected, and while I'm not sure this is "new," I'm pretty sure there's numbers scratched onto its surface! There is definitely a number 3 on one side, and I can just barely make out what looks like the number 3 on the next side. Wild! Can anybody else see this or am I a crazy person?

Whoa, I take my eyes off this thing for two days and... holy crap. This is getting cool. I had my doubts at first because of the cheesy intro video on his youtube, but this is pretty awesome...

Is this reminding anyone else of LOST, at all?

Something's screwy with the analysis page. Not working anymore.

I think I see one of the numbers you're talking about, Muse. It's on the side that rotates around before the gash. That could be a three, but it could also be a symbol of some kind.
I don't recall noticing it before, but I don't have the best memory for that sort of thing either.

Artifact Monitor

You can pause the rotation by right clicking the image and declicking the 'Play'

However I've checked out swf file and it hasn't been updated since the 16th.
