 		Well done - I was thinking that Biarritz would make sense given the previous place names.

As for the number, I called the Ascend number and dialed in 99990000 earlier and it gave a message of 'not available.' Looking at twitter again, Ascend posted 'NOW AVAILABLE' again. Call in now and punch that in and boom, it rings through. When the other end picks up you hear 'RAQ, how may I help you?' Shocked

I was so surprised to hear a live person I hung up (sorry PM). Not sure at all what to ask right now. Thoughts?

I did the same, didn't get very far. I said I knew about Biarritz, and he asked if I was ready to "qauntify". I said I was interested in taking the survey, which had 404d. Then I got hung up on.

 		I read up on this forum here.
Is it still possible to start participating in this ARG?
If so, how would that be possible?
Thanks in advance.

 		TY, Vitiate. Your recognizing Lewis Carroll's shorthand made me happy. Cagliostro, maybe try taking the Ascension Compatibility Test & follow ASCENDTODAY on twitter.

I saw that test earlier, but they ask me to give all my personal details, which I do not trust.

I can give fake details, but I probably won't be accepted then, would I? Wink

Also, the twitter account is rather random. It posts the same messages over and over, and I have no idea what they are about.

Received two new images. Untwirling the vortex image reveals the bit in the center. Haven't had a chance to work on the light image yet.


Got the light image as well. The mail header in Chinese translates to "descartes kill/homicide". I worked on the image only a little as I am only on phone during weekends....their eye logo appears in the space between the stars. There are 6 bands on the triangle, none in the circle, six in the triangle. 606?

 		Yeah they sent a new light image. Diff that and the original and get the attached image. Unskew the bottom of the image and get a new number. Unfortunately I have to head out for the day, so someone else call it in please! Smile

 		New Facebook Image
There is also a new image on the Ascend Facebook page made up of images of the people that like their page. The word ASCEND appears at the top of the image but I have not been able to find the time yet to look at it in more detail.

 		latest FB image
If one had the list of the "likers", that'd be possible to create a mask to subtract from the original one and let the watermark emerge. As such, I was not able to obtain enough contrast to understand what lies beneath.

 		The ASCEND logo is discernible on the FB image & BEAUT photoshop, Toasty. Believe my last "untwisted nbr" is 3 & saying sorry again that I can't record intn'l calls. Sad

There seems to be more than the logo, if you inspect carefully the top part.
