Anyone else paying attention to their Twitter feed? It seems the lights are flickering now...

EDIT: Just for s's & giggles, decided to poke around the website. The link for the student login on the source info is labeled "http://aristoninstitute.org/Follow_the_Trail.html". Interesting....

She does have a point.

On another note, I have started a doc on google to help keep track of what data we have. If there is anything that comes up, let me know, and I will add it in. Link is as follows.

New email, in the odd formatting:

Object recognized: email message
BASE64 message



Hoping this means I'll get a reply soon enough, since before we got the
do not go
message', we got the
Object recognized: email message
mirror language use

message.

I found esab-46, which is a mirror of the word/phrase base-64. I don't know how either code /works/ so I don't know if it's an exact mirror but Idk.

Tried both the 'ZG8gbm90IGdvIGtlZXAgdHJ5aW5n' and the 'n5Wa5JHdgAxzltGIvdGI09mbg8GZ' strings, and it spit nothing but gibberish both times..

Hmmmm. Well, I sent them a quick "can you communicate this way?" message, figured might as well exhaust all our options XD

They are misquoting!!!!

Plato didn't say that, it was Socrates in the Allegory of the Cave, written by Plato.

EDIT: New email

To Whom It May Concern:

Because of problems with interdepartmental and outgoing mail, we are temporarily talking our email system offline. All incoming messages will be stored in the queue and retrieved as soon as we go back online. All outgoing messages will be temporarily halted.

Thank you for your patience!

Sincerely,
The Ariston Institute
