EDIT: So that was awkward. I'm really glad i Noticed some one had already solved that. Apologies to amandel for not seeing your post. This used to be a wordpress update, but amandel already handled it.

No worries, Draconis, esp. for solving stuff Very Happy And am just mentioning that while we don't know what "ENCRYPTION RING" info the curator encoded in his Base64 string we do know that it was posted with the jpeg of a ferris wheel which is not only a moving ring but also an example of Simple Harmonic Motion (in Phase space).

Umm.....really quick, did anyon notice the "THERE ARE ONLY MOMENTS NOW" link on the top of the tumblr? it leads to a question page. Considering we don't know who is now transmitting over that feed, should we try asking something?

That's just a generic Tumblr ask box...but it would be perfect to ask questions such as yours. I'm willing to bet you'll get Ayden.

I think what they're saying is that trying to run the BASE64 CURATOR through a Vigenere will get us nowhere and offered us an alternative cipher to consider.

EDIT: I hope this makes up for my lack of contribution on this thread so far >.<

Hint:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
For the first step, the phrase "only two correct" from the original hint makes sense now with their cipher suggestion of Affine.


Solved:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Keeper log update 4983.12.13:

The Hekadem has fallen. The curator has fallen. There are only 4 of us left now. Only Four. Ayden has the order of seniority, but seems to have fallen out of contact. Without the Curator we are unaware of how to proceed. Raven Vaimon appears to have super encoded the Orion matrix into the Hunters. The code was always a little buggy as evidenced by Ayden's actions over the last 8 macsecs. Unfortunately, the Curator was the only one that understood the encryption ring for Hunters as well as the backdoors built into the Orion code.

I am at The Porch now. The Stumans and their Hunters appears to still be scared of this place. I am going to stretch this log post out in case I am interpolated between the magrail lines and neutocean. If I am re-configured, please ensure that Ayden is matching is sub-routine. There will only be three of us left. Three to the ring. Perhaps that is destined. Perfect threes.

As I consider the last millseclenia it is only obvious now that Augustine appears bent on re-writing the course of Stumakind with the re-analyzed Wallite history. Perhaps we were wrong to super suppose the 4th law. Perhaps this was always meant to be. It would seem that after all this time, and all of the Mercinum addictions we attempted to eradicate, Stumas just weren't meant to coexist with the CEYKO. Their children that they now believe to be their dictator.

I am concerned most about the shifted timeline. We have no hard evidence that the Stoa existed. We have no hard evidence of who Wallace is. We have a first name that has scored across time. Augustine and the three pieces. The last name reveals no conclusions. The Curator was most concerned about the Stuma and Wallites posing as those that are in trouble. Subverting the current history. Maybe we shouldn't have shifted the seed organism. Maybe we shouldn't have shifted the cell. We will never know.

What was that? It couldn't be? They...it is...Hunters. I am going to close this stream down now. The other bubble appears in tact...

Oh no. They see me.

Keep the ring. Keep the broadcasts alllliiiii---

As we know it

Here is an updated cipher/solved list. Ive also included a listing of the names, places and assorted misc stuff. I will work on this over the weekend to clean it up and make it more presentable.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The people ( people who have been mentioned in transmissions)
Wallace Happenish
The Keepers
The Operator
The Curator
The Librarian
Ayden
Rose
Elliott
Stoa Resistance
Dr Raven Vigenere
Dr Walentian Affine
Stuman
The Hunters
Gustus Viamon
Augie ( Augustine? Discovered the power? Discovered Wallace?)
Wallites ( connected to Wallace?)
CEYKO, CEYTO ( mentioned as an invention, possibly android?)


The Places:
The Porch
The Hekadem
Neutocean ( like an internet?)




1st cipher- Bubbleboy - 7/16
Fmfs umd msnp. Mh pmagdsppax tit pnbzq xhnpqpe. Xpi bxeral ie usymnhsu jzm

Key: Mfb uu Vzfow. Lqdme ie Pxlywua

Result: They are here. We discovered two other streams. The matter is pressing now

2nd cipher- found on Reddit- 7/16
Iay ts Vvciw. Hnykd id qotidwg.
Key: Wallace is power
Result: Man is truth. Truth is forever

3rd cypher- found on Reddit- 7/16
4776.35.13
stskuueww ---
they seem to know where and when we are showing up. if the CEYTOs have had contact with you, please, please, please do not let them know you are aware of their plans. We are working to up our plasmud output, as this current frequency is only able to be subsessed at the highest magne-feed range.

UNSOLVED?

5th cipher- Ampyr- 7/16

Ayden is here. Ayden is lies. Earth is nothing. Our habitubes warming with us. We have the CEYTOs outnumbered. Plasmud output depleted. Magne-feeds cannot hold linear voltage against The Porch. Hekadem complex may be falling.

Another Vigenére Cipher with the keyphrase: wallaceispower. It reads:

Here's what I did:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I put the text into the Affine decryptor with two numbers from the dashed numbers list they gave (ONLYTWOCORRECT leads to a = 19, b = 23). From there, I put the text into BASE64 translator then put the resulting text into the binary translator.


If I gave too much of a walkthrough this time around, please let me know. I'm still working on finding that happy medium between vagueness and information overload. XD
