Thanks, sinewave. Thought so. Always definitely consider you our IU timeline expert so am just posting this quote for your appraisal b/c this nbr. is PW necessary:

Whoops, good catch! I was going off of 2259, but that is probably when the war started, not ended. The Cargo Manifest document lists the date they dumped the EBU leadership's bodies as Christmas, 2260, so this past December would have been the 16th anniversary.

I guess that means 16 is more likely to be the number, 17 is still possible though

 		Y'all must have finally been pooped-out Laughing It was an exciting 4 page lightning-round-catch-up & am still in awe of you 3 guys. Don't want to get in the way 'tho if you can point me to the Uf page of "the two planets mentioned before" I'll try to help after I've fed some hungry family.

 		Please do help! I'm at work and I can't focus because I keep reading over Siren's page.

As for the planets, currently the only clues we have for these passwords are on Siren's website:
Quote:
>// The four that stand alone. A planet and it's moon are in view. Two slipspace portals on their side. Their profiles can be seen. Thin, hiding their size. One is inactive. One is in use. The nose of a ship comes into our reality.
>// And after the Earth changed its color, so many years since. So many years since the Earthborne fell.
>// Then, nine less than the number that stands between the two planets mentioned before.
>// Finally, five less than the number of recognized governments when the Interplanetary Union was formed.

- In the first line, we think that "The four that stand alone" means that line is just about the username, which will be a 4 digit number. It's referring to a planet and moon that has two slipspace portals around it (didn't know there were planets with 2, personally)
- The second line should be a reference to the colour part of the password. We think GREEN is probably the colour since that is what the Earth used to be.
- Same line is how many years since the EBU fell (16 or 17)
- Line after is a reference to the difference between the two planets mentioned. I'm unsure if Earth is being counted in the "two planets" part or if we have two planets in the username part.
- And finally, there were 10 governments when the IU was formed, so 5 less then that is 5

That leaves us at something like this:
USERNAME: ____ (4 digit number)
PASSWORD: GREEN16_5 (STA format had 5 numbers in the password, so the number between them is probably 2 digits, but it might be more or less)

 		OK, my best take on a quick summary of the last few weeks or so.

Ethan/IT:
Quote:
The poor little guy is still stuck on the planet (which is called Droth'a) with the entity. ALICE hasn't said anything for weeks so he's either speaking through her or she's been destroyed.
More recently, IT has been telling Ethan how despite his best efforts to change the course of history (it can see the future to some degree) Ethan and IT's destinies are intertwined. IT won't kill Ethan, though it insists that he will be begging for death by the end of this.
IT seems to have the power to create earthquakes on the Droth'a. (There's a few theory that he IS Droth'a)
IT keeps counting down to January 8th, a day he refers to a "Completion." On the 8th, Ethan is supposed to destroy the entity.
Last transmission ended with Ethan seeing a giant chasm pouring out bright light and "energy" that fits the description of the mining vessel report we've had since Adam was still alive.
There is a new transmission tonight.


Wallace:
Quote:
Our supporter has been more direct with us lately. He stole an ALICE v5 and plans to upload it (he was supposed to last night).
He dropped a hint that the Atlas listening website that we go to had other pages to look at, which led us to this page:
http://servers.horizonindustries.org/
The symbols on his documents were a password for the Zulu folder:
username: sparrow
pass: andtheearthwillliveinshadow
This appears to be some kind of personal folder of Sparrow's.

The STA folder was cracked last night thanks to the help of a frustrated Siren. The log in information for the STA folder is:
USERNAME: 7409
PASSWORD: RED04655

There is an email account we need to get in to, which is the most recent hurdle we're trying to get over. You can read where we currently stand by reading my post just above this one.

EBU:
Quote:
Through a slightly elaborate scheme we were able to trick the Ruvinov Mafia that we'd handed over Harper Black. Once she boarded a ship off of Janus, we used the same money they'd payed us with the hand her over to pay Siren to slip her ship to Oceanus where Richard Kai watched over her. A diplomat card was sent to her there which allowed her to travel to travel back to Earth despite a RED status on all flights. Harper is home.

Siren:
Quote:
Siren's real name is Ruby Black. She is actually Harper's daughter. We're not sure how she's handling the news, since she seems to have switched her site over to automated responses only since we found out.


Horizon:
Quote:
Sparrow has some kind of event he's referring to as Kronos, which is set to happen on Jan. 8th, the same day as IT's completion.


Our next move:
Quote:
Our next plan of attack is the send a ship to rescue Ethan on Droth'a, as outlined by Wallace here:
Quote:
Earthborne:

I am about to leave for VannЭya to the Horizon shipyard so I apologize for the hastiness of thsis message. Because slipspace was discovered there, Horizon made it a major building ground for new ships and ALICE software. Now, VannЭya is focused on building mining vessels. And that is why I am going there. I do not know your motivations for wanting Ethan or how you know about him. But I assure you, your motivations should not be focused on him, but with the entity that is with him. It must be destroyed.

The KRONOS Project will begin on 01.08.2277. We are running out of time. The KRONOS Project is just the beginning. Horizon will arrive on the planet the entity calls Droth'a and do everything in their power to extract it. They will bring it to Earth. And they will use it. As you know, this entity is far more powerful than anything we have ever created. It can perceive things that we cannot understand. But Sparrow will try. He will try to understand. He will do EVERYTHING he can to
use it to prevent anything like this from occurring again. And by this, I mean you. Sparrow believes that he can utilize this entity's ability to perceive the future to prevent another uprising, or any other challenge to Horizon's power. If the entity can provide Sparrow with such an ability, then it is clear. It must be destroyed.

As you will know by the time you read this, I have stolen an ALICEv5 unit. There are people out there that have the ability to hack into ALICE systems. You may need to get in contact with such a person. I will upload the ALICEv5 into the VannЭya system, but that is all I can do. I believe we can accomplish two tasks with the completion of this mission.

One, we can send a mining vessel to Droth'a. Based on the warning message found within the Litke Deep Artifact, we are unsure what the entity's physical properties are. But Horizon believes that it may not be a simple, physical construct. It nay have evolved into something more. Something bigger. With that in mind, and knowing that we have one chance to make this happen; I think anything less than destroying Droth'a would be a poor decision. These mining vessels that Horizon uses can make that a reality.

Two, extract Ethan. The mining vessel will need to land, and without a crew, we'll need Ethan to help us set the charges. When they're set, Ethan will board the ship and we'll get him home.

We won't have much time when you get this.

Wallace

Superior synopsis, sinewave. Smile Might Siren be referring to Vesta whose citizens have moved to the large moon?. Between it & Earth stand 11 planets in the Codex.
??(11 -9 =2) for the missing PW nbr.?? ETA: Heading to Sleepyville so wishing all the code/puzzle solvers much good fortune tonight.

 		Incoming transmission tonight. It's weird that I'm in chat and there isn't a soul ( other than mine) around..

 		So now we have an email address we can use for the flight change request form where we can retrieve the responses. I have not been following closely enough but can we now send MOV-177 to the Interstellar anomaly?
