Nah, it's cool. How could they charge me with impersonating an employee for something that 'doesn't exist' like Area 51. Razz
I was excited that I was asking questions that the "AI" could respond to. lol

Someone just said "Carrots" on the chat over there. When I questioned them further, they replied, "CARROTS!" Wish we could see who's talking over there. lol

Guess i'll post some more emails we've been shooting back and forth.

1st email:
This is all so strange...Well, I did go back there, climbed over the fence and looked around what must have been part of the main facility. At least, it looked like a bunch of old foundations, but no buildings. Like it was all torn down for some reason. What is this "artifact"?

The date went great! Definitely some sparks there. I am totally psyched - a little bit of normal in my life again. Things are really starting to turn around.

thanks!

My email back:
That's another strange thing. According to the page there are certain areas being montoried.
According to it. Gate 1 has a "Fault" but Gate 2 is "Secure". It might be a strange request, but next time you enter the facility open the gate. Then we should register a "Fault" on our end. Also did you go inside that "Danger. High voltage building?

Email 2:
Well the outside gate looks like it's rusted shut, but there is a hole in the fence right next to it. The first inside gate is definitely locked and has barbed wire and everything. The second inside one is kind of messed up - looks like something hit it at some point (or maybe another tree?). Much worse shape but I'm not sure it would actually open either. I'll take a look - going back tomorrow for some more exploring. There were some roads leading away from that cluster of old foundations (or whatever they were).

No - sorry! I stopped the camera to open the door and forgot to start it again at that electrical shed, but it was just empty anyway.

Also to anyone who is continuing that carrot thing. It's um........highly amusing and a little bit creepy.

That first word's gotta be Sencon37. If this is a cryptogram, then that's the place to start. I'll begin working on it, but I'm not great at these. Wish me luck and/or a better monkey than I can take a stab at it.

Look at the guys hands...weird. Also the tech looks outdated...a message from the past perhaps?

Wow, you guys are fast. Shocked
I had just worked out Core Reconstruction since my last post when I hit the refresh.
I tried entering that code just now in the retrieval box. Got nada. Is that where you entered it?

Yes. Cobalt Monkey. Did you enter the code in caps? Also, Zach has a new youtube vid and check the DIAGNOSTIC REPORT.

Hi Cobalt!!

This is Zach's email where I asked him for the surname of his friend Karen (to see if it had anything to do with the KF in the event log). I told him a friend had a friend in that area who was Karen F..., so I asked him to see if she could be that Karen.

Quote:
Well, whether it was actually bread or not is up for some debate. I did let it rest after I "punched it" - all it did is turn into a flat puddle of mush. It wasn't watery at all - but it still didn't hold it's shape. Ugh! There

Yes, I went on my date with Karen tonight - had a great time! No - we went to an Italian restaurant tonight. I talked a bit about that in my post this evening.I'm not sure if I should actually give out her last name - not my place. But it isn't F.

The blocks of concrete I think were foundations for buildings at some point. At least that's what they look like to me. Hard to tell now.

As for the gates - what do you think if I went around them and went over the fence? I'm still not sure it matters. There may be some old detection stuff around but I still haven't seen any people.

Thanks!


I just wonder what her role is in this Dunno

In the video from archive, the doctor says this is project number 127, has anyone understood the name of the doctor?

Email to Zach

I sent a quick email to Zach this morning, based upon his recent blog I suggested that he use his ability to see the past (Time Shadows, so obvious now!) to identify Gate 1.

Good work on the retrieval code, can't wait to get home to look at it.

It is possible that Karen is just a trout (no pun intended).

The suggestion by Cobalt Monkey about the:

Shining Trapezohedron


Looks possible, maybe another version of it.

WOAH.
Okay, so I have learned this much: when playing an ARG, do NOT take sick days lol! At the very least I'm delighted that this seems to be chugging along.

So, weird thought... I was discussing this with some friends and they mentioned that the Sentinel Control Network, combined with an abandoned military/government facility and a guy with lost memories seemed to match up with the story of a guy named Wolverine of X-Men fame. XD A possible connection? It'd almost make sense if you'd consider the interesting morphing colors to be a kind of "screen saver" to a Sentinel's "eye."

Edit: Okay, can't seem to get back to the rotating pyramid (MYST anyone?) but the first time I saw it I have to say I thought it looked much more like a type of stone rather than a map of the world. Identifying the type of stone might lead to something interesting? I thought it might be Lapis Lazuli but after entering it in a few of the website fields got nothing. :/

Doin it wrong?

To get to the Artifact page you click on the bottom hidden button to get to the Diagnostic page. From there, you'll find a hidden button on the bottom right inside the middle sized circle.
