How do you like your trout fried or baked?
We now have a link from Prometheus' Facebook page back here to see if anyone else can help us figure it out Or learn from us here).

Based on recent classified findings by Weyland researchers, the company determines the exact coordinates of a new destination for long-time pet project: Project Prometheus. New round of investment is immediately opened and mission planning enters full-swing.
Could the password be these co-ordinates?

Sounds likely. But the format for space coordinates is weird and there could be dozens of ways to enter it as a password. I'm making a quick little brute force program that will take a list of words and try them all very quickly.

I read on a reddit post that someone broke down the code on the website and the password can containt spaces and others like *&^!@_ for example.

It just seems strange that they say a" New round of investment is immediately opened and mission planning enters full-swing...
as if to suggest that the password will 'immediately open' and 'planning enters full swing'
getting desperate...

Could they be Orion's Gliese 208 coordinates? Or maybe Epsilun Eridani', considering the Eridu link? Like AIR_CAV said, the format seems too weird for a password:
Epsilon Eridani = 03h 32m 55.8442s, +09° 27' 29.744"
Gliese 208 = 05h34m30.42s, +11°47"25.4"

I'm half expecting the password to be something super complicated, just to not feel stupid for not getting it
Because, honestly, it'd be a bummer if the pass is actually short and obvious and we all overlooked it...

Yeah, kind of why I wanted to make sure it was put into phones like previous ARG stuff e.g. **MOVIE

I have counted the appearing of the pictograms on the time line:
health:6
energy:1
electronics:3
terraforming:3
security:9
cybernetics:16
transport:3(+2?)
(flags:29)
I have also noticed the text:
"Heliades
Weyland Industries introduces the first FTL-capable SEV (space exploration vehicle)."
Being entered twice behind a other entry and thus not following the normal order. If these entry's are normal entry's they would be transport adding another 2 to transport.
There is also one entry that's directly above an other and thus also not following the normal ordering.

So that means it's another reference to Phaėton, aside from the one we had from Eridanus:
Quote:
In Greek mythology, the Heliades ("children of the sun") were the daughters of Helios and Clymene the Oceanid.
Phaėton was a son of Clymene and Helios/Apollo, and as mentioned a few pages ago, another rebellious figure similar to Prometheus.
