 		[Trailhead?] @JOYANSIBLE
Been out of the ARG game for a while, but today a really bizarre Twitter account started following me. I initially wrote it off as a weird spammy bot-thing and blocked them, but then my curiosity got the best of me and I checked them out again. By the time I did, they were posting odd strings of code and pictures with excerpts of books.

I tried to make sense of it, but haven't had any luck. It definitely seems like there's something to do it, though.

Best I can do is this Wiki article I found about an "ansible," which is a "fictitious machine capable of instantaneous or superluminal communication."

Anyone want to take a crack at it?

 		Oops, I see someone already posted about this in the stickied thread. Guess I should've put this in there. Feel free to close this if it does just end up being spam.

 		Huh, there's been a conversation going on, and these statements have been posted:

Quote:
I am the Virtual Injection Array, emergency simulacrum of the Modular Injection Array "SCPN"


When asked why it was activated:

Quote:
To repair the Modular Injection Array and inject the Queen into Terra.web

@JOYANSIBLE: @jennymurray 14 Syntax clusters. 2 [?word] atom divisions. 1 numeral. 14 variable occurrences. Please help prblm.slv



Anyone following along? I'm thinking syntax clusters are words.

 		It looks like they want us to solve some sort of puzzle which I'm assuming has something to do with those pictures but it's going way over my head.

That said, they posted this:
Quote:
rep.proc begin::_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 _ _ _ _ _ _ ....... Syntax.nav::proc_NUM processed


I recognized the "Syntax.nav::proc_NUM" from the tweet for this image:
https://twitter.com/JOYANSIBLE/status/299567220210671616/photo/1

Quote:
Syntax.nav::proc_NUM// ....... 1 occ



Note the "7" in the image.

So I'm guessing somehow these codes and numbers correlate to characters we're looking for. There are 14 images in all and 14 spaces in the "rep.proc begin" tweet, so maybe we need a letter/number from each image/book passage?

 		Hello Everyone, I'm John Shortcut. I've been interacting with the Twitter account since it's creation. Oddly enough, I don't see myself here on the Quotes. Either way, I'll explain.

This seems to be a ARG, by Bungie, the creators of the highly-acclaimed Halo Franchise. Now, at two weeks before the supposed release of Destiny-Related Information, they created an account Today, in the 7th day of this month. The account has 77 Followers, including me, All Gamers, but no one really important/well known. I have been deducing what it wants. It's a Virtual Injection Array, emergency simulacrum of the Modular Injection Array "SCPN". It's duty is to "Inject Queen into Terra.web". Terra.web is us, of course. When I asked about "Queen", It said the information could not be shared at the moment. "It" Seeks to keep the Queen safe, and Terra, our Earth, is the closest Safe Haven. Right now, the Virtual Injection Array's objective is to fix the Modular Injection Array. Now, I've managed to reach a point where a Code must be entered. I'm working on it.. It told me there was only one Numeral in the sequence, which I easily guessed as a 7. Now, the rest aren't numerals, but I'm working on it. As I write this, I see someone else has commented. I guess I'll keep you guys posted.

Welcome to the Fun House. Smile

 		14syntax cluster's..that could be the 14 pictures that were posted on the twitter account. Maybe a word or phrase in each one would solve that's needed..

Most certainly. 14 Characters Total, one of them was 7 (One of the Images had the Syntax.nav::proc_NUM//) The rest don't have NUM, but VWL (Vowel) or CNS (Consonant).

So the remaining 13 Images have the remaining 13 Vocals/Consonants needed. Now, I have no idea how to find out which Vocal/Consonant is the correct one in each Image. And even if I find out, I'd still have to find out it's order. What I'm trying to do is analyze the NUM (7) one and try to get a pattern that could be used with the others.

 		I'm trying to avoid studying and came across this. Noticed the occ and wondered: could occ=occurence? That would mean that vowel 1=N, consonant 1=S, vowel 2=K and so on. I still don't know how that would deal with order, though.

I'm a little bit of a N00b when it comes to stuff like this..so I will apologize a head of time..

Syntax.nav::proc_VWL.6// ....... 13 occ


That was the title of one of the twitter pictures. Would the numbers be any help in finding the location of the vowel?

In the case of the 7, it's "Syntax.nav::proc_NUM// ....... 1" Since there's only one NUM, it doesn't have a number next to NUM (Like VWL.6) after the "......." There's a "1", but the 7 is in the Position 8 of 14, so I don't see any relations there.

The rest are VWL 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and CNS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So it's 7 Consonants, 6 Vowels and 1 Number. That's something. The "NUM" Tweet is the 7th one, but on the Line, it's the 8th, so there's no clue there, either.

 		When I saw "inject the Queen", I knew this had to be related to ILB in some way. Good to see Bungie's v-marketing back in top form. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Huh, that's neat. Also interesting that it chose to follow the Marble Operator twitter account.

I'll definitely keep an eye on this thread, and help in figuring things out if I can.

Bungie has nothing to do with Halo anymore right? Right, so it can't be ILB related AND be Bungie. O.o I mean, I look at it, and it looks ILBish but none the less... Also, ILB was run by 42E - and I just don't feel they would be so amaturish as this. I could of course be wrong....but doubtful.

Just some things to keep in mind.
