I think it might have been one of the hints for the first image decryption but off (if you multiply them)

Since after Jack had sent me

Here is the PDF just so we don't have to worry about any transcription problems.

Daybreak

[blackfeathers]

good find loka

here's a word-for-word transcript from the terminal:

[MrToasty]

North Kingdom is one of the groups involved in producing Daybreak, so just an easter egg I would say.

[blackfeathers]

it's interesting to note that this game has actual locations you can discover.

google streetview of the arizona address shows the spot/general area where ben is revving his motorcycle.

the image of the dumpster from flickr

can can be seen on streetview as well:

other images on flickr appear to use the same model dslr but in various locations around the world -sweden in a few spanning the month of may.

there's also an image of jack boxer under a bridge. may be it's a reference to the wilkins' audio file where he says it's 'water under the bridge'?

speculation:
the new post over at jackboxer about sacred geometry -as a possibility-seems like they are hinting at using geometric shapes or other kinds of puzzle clues to create a 'dodecahedron' solution. shapes as letters of the alphabet.

I clicked through to the Vesica institute at the bottom of the sacred geometry page and poked around a bit. It's likely not related directly but:

terminal easter egg:

on the jack boxer app 101 intro (seen here),

there's a folder called 'carl' in the archive part of the presentation.

entering carl in the terminal outputs another easter egg. basically it's minimal basic ascii art saying 'ftw' - aka, for the win.

entering cassar -who is the director of the first episode, outputs: John Mantegna.

enter raven (screenplay writer raven metzner) outputs: 'That's so Raven'

carter (david carter - co-creator) outputs: 'Joe Carter - Stanley Cup Champion 2023'

adam outputs: 'Oliver. The best dog ever.'

danilo (co-creator danilo boer) outputs some awesome ascii art that i won't be able to transcribe here.

lubars (david lubars, exectiove producer) outputs: 'Go Red Sox!!!'

at&t outputs: 'Rethink Possible'

rob (editorial executive producer) outputs ascii art 'rob'

monterosa outputs a ton of stuff (excluding the accent marks above the letters):

We are the real Jack Boxers...

monterosa has offices in stockholm, singapore & new york - which i would assume the flicker photostream would have photos in those locations as well as los angeles -where a premiere for daybreak was held...

which leads me to mention that if you search instagram for daybreak, daybreak2012, jackboxer or jackboxers, you will see some behind the scenes and other related game / web series stuff, which are not quite the game itself but interesting to see.

[MrToasty]

Has anyone tried scanning the jack boxer logo here?

Looks like it gives you a way to check in from a location, most likely in conjunction with scanning one of the tags on the street.

[Syeira]

[blackfeathers]

raven metzner, who is involved with daybreak, has been posting some jackboxer images on his twitter from various locations.

one of them, the dumpster with the 'bacon' tag above it, is found in the jackboxer flickr photostream. twitter handle: mraven257

it may become pertinent clues later on so just keeping it in mind for now. at the very least, it's a peak behind the scenes.

[dinosauring]

It would appear that I've reached the end of episode 1.

Got a message from Sanchez, saying
"Take care until you hear from us, and stay up to date on our Jack Boxers site as we will continue to spread the Truth.
Veritas Lux Mea."
So, there's that.

Also, in decoding the frequencies from Jackboxers.com I get
1.61803, but that doesn't appear to lead anywhere.

Edit:

Also. scanning the image on the blog says to "Ask the terminal."
One of the tags on that post is -surprise, i'll update again with what it leads to

Edit(2):

"activate -surprise"
Just loads a small ASCII of a triangle with an Asterisk forming the top point and octothorpes (Pound signs) on the sides.
