Trilontesting.com requests more humans in its basic participation for human interaction with online web sources.
Participation required from volunteers for initial assessment for Trilon currently stands at minimal human monitoring.

I disable embedded image links within posts when I can -- and in this case it isn't even an image? That shortURL redirects to an email login.

Personal disclaimer:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We got this trailhead in IRC a few days ago, and again in some forum inboxes. I extracted the XML from the site to be able to read some of the text, which was not showing up on my screen (not even as white-on-white). There are typos (which may be clues) and pieces for an image to reassemble (which has one piece duplicated where the intended image is missing from the server, which may be an error or a clue.) I'm not taking this any further myself, as I do not care to engage with characters via email -- that's just my personal choice on how to play ARGs.

Typo, or clue?

I'm working on assembling the image from the separate pieces.

So this is an ARG, right?

EDIT: Nevermind, it's definitely an arg after I look around on the site enough. Plenty of weird secrets to find...

I figure I'll give this one a try, see if it catches me or not... kinda reminds me a little bit of Veil Nanoscience, but I don't know why.

Good find, Amandel... I can't help but feel that's exactly what we were supposed to find out about it... the title of the sculpture seems like a message to us.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The quotes seem to be from the Bible, but they're different. Abraham didn't kill Issac at all in the bible...

Apparently, I'm Phosphorus. -shrug-

I dunno if anyone's noticed this, but there's an X-box logo on one of the slides? Oo

I've emailed them, don't really expect anything back this soon, just saying I'd volunteer my services for whatever reason they need it. I have no idea what I would email the genesis address with.

Did anyone catch the weird Half the seed of Europe quote on the correct version of the Abraham/Issac verse? Maybe about the whole 'Abraham had many sons" ect... I don't think it's actually from the bible, or at least, not the last three or four lines... is it from something else maybe? Or is it original and it means something in the ARG? Slide.... 23

Do you think the typos spell something out? Both on here and the one on the website?

On slide #4 - Understanding Trilon, there is some ext that only shows if you highlight the text. Here's what you see"

Understanding Trilon
An attempt to better understand how the human responds to interactions with both problem solving and computers, Trilon is the continuation of an on-going project to understand the depths behind the ever-evolving human mind.

Here's the hidden part:
"Trilon continues to be a project of MERG-X, to determine the various trends of humans who understand there is more towards problem solving and understanding than what is otherwise obviously stated."

Slide #14 shows an X-Box Live symbol. Not sure how that fits yet. There is also hidden text around the photo that repeats "GENESIS226" multiple times.

Slide #23 is the poem "The Parable of the Old Men and the Young" by Wilfred Owen which compares the ascent of Abraham to Mount Moriah and his near-sacrifice of Isaac there with the start of World War I.

Well, if it's Genesis 2:26 that they're referring to, it'd be:

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Actually, I think it's Genesis 22:6 that's being referred to since that's actually the verse in one of the slides.

OK, so I've sent an email to the genesis226 address & also signed up to receive updates on the MERG-X site.

Ooooh, MERG-X has pharmacology stuff. This I like.

There's a phone number and another email on the Contact page for MERG-X. I'm still looking around, haven't called yet. I'm really excited for this one! High hopes.

When you extract the XML here's that phone nbr. :(616) - 66 - MERGX. Also there are 2 emails: customer.serviceSPLATmerg-x.com (for General Inquiries) and career.applicationsSPLATmerg-x.com
