mp3 = jpg

lhp = txt
kbp = txt
graffle = jpg
bh = gif
m_u = wav

These are the last extensions, and what they were renamed to to make sense.

 		Here's what has been found so far in this thread

Those nodes were nuts!

Pretty wack. Nice patching, btw. Gold star for YOU, now!

Also a gif. rename and you get

Quote:
done gone and planted yourself somewhere new, eh?
what's your plan, Stan?
the spike seems to have left everything unscathed. quite odd.


http://www.little-boxes.net/stairs/stairs/stairs/silvia2.txt

Quote:
thanks for helping with the cleanup!


http://www.little-boxes.net/stairs/stairs/stairs/silvia3.txt

Quote:
boys, boys, you're both pretty. keep it quiet, scratch, OK? omni was right - the layout here indicates more than just some thunderstorm or something. i think it'll be really interesting to keep an eye on this place.


http://www.little-boxes.net/stairs/stairs/stairs/silvia.jpg

Quote:
So we saw this flux and burst of activity, and then down to nothing. Well, we saw the echoes, anyhow.

Definitely not a human footprint. This is a whomp on a huge scale that I am not sure any ordinary script could pack into such a little amount of access. The whole log is massive and ... well, unbelievable. Except it happened. You guys saw it, you all saw the spike. I'm surprised this whole subnet's not toast.

(cont'd.)

Quote:
Speaking of footprints - sorry about the switcheroo with this whole home base thing. I had thought everything was OK, but it looks like some bigfeet from elsewhere (who invited them? man!) decided to take the ball and run with it. Mom always said not to play ball in the house, and well, stuff got broken.

I cleaned and wiped as much as I could (saving the node spike stuff for myself, of course), and then broke it even more. I had to; the oafs were stumbling all over the place, tripping alarms and making a huge mess. Way to be a ballerina, Gerry Fleck. Of course, _'s got some medium-level guys, and so I hung out until they could see my present to them. I pointed at the hole, tattled on bigfoot, and left a leetle wiggle room after I gave them the fixes. So that's why we're here now.

Why the hostility? Are you mad I got here first? That it wasn't like last time, where you got fried and nearly got us all pinned to the wall? What's the deal?

 		Can somebody run a timeline on the upload of the files, like last time, so we could make sense out of this conversation?
