Yeah, It's weird that the piano link is not interactive. As it seems that it should be crucial to solve the puzzle.

I have tried to find a link with the game that works without luck though. I think that if it gets released again it will probably be without secret.

Update. Got a response.

SUBJECT – AML1

So it is Sid. I think we need to either give him instructions on how to escape or get him out ourselves.

Observations
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If he means Reginald, that is our sculptor, Manspider.

It looks like luminosity is decreasing, volume is increasing, and temperature is rising. 297K = 74.93 Fahrenheit

He recognized WhatisTruth by code name, Disciple.


Thoughts
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Is this Sid of the first loop (tanked and harvested) or the second loop (left to hospital to sustain, but narrative broke down after)? Is he injured or in pain currently?


What all have you said or how have you addressed the admin in these recent correspondences? That you are being contacted personally with such information instead of it being shared publicly is a bit odd.

It surely has something to do with the piano link.
The first puzzle talks about light and switches. The second puzzle talks about dB and a keyboard. And the third is about kelvin, steam and vents.

EDIT: I have sent this to admin:
Quote:
Also, I'm flicking switch 1, pressing E2 on the keyboard and lastly I'm setting the dial to 260.


EDIT 2: Supposedly I need ID and call sign to get privileges to do it. One of you guys should do it if I don't get it from Admin soon.

We already know of the link but I have no idea of how you decipher the text.
So you might try to do it.
I'm very willing to learn how you do it, so if you want to tell me how it works, that would be great. Maybe make some sort of quick guide or something.

Disaster Management Test. Mock disaster drill in progress. Remain calm. - I solved it as a substitution cipher where p=d, u=i, etc.

Ah yes. I told him to call me disciple.

This is what I've said

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So admin, has everything stopped? No activity for a while now. Forecast 15 was interesting. Though I can't really call it a "forecast" anymore. What are we waiting for?

That led to the first message


Second

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I might be in the big thing outside. What does it look like?
You can call me Disciple, what should I call you?
It seems pretty cold and quiet there, not much light either, how can I help you?

Was trying to dig for info. Got the name and that it's a "big box" but not sure what to say next.

Glad we have some new activity! I've been working pretty hard lately, so I haven't been keeping up. I think my AMNA-A recordings stopped around Friday, but it's up and running again.

The piano page is definitely interesting. It looks like instructions to a puzzle we haven't seen yet, but a pretty exciting one. Has anyone tried to decode the morse in Forecast15? It was pretty rough if I remember correctly.

He might be just talking about 'a disciple' and not necessarily 'Disciple' the person. Not sure if that's helpful or not....

Now I have gotten ID and callsign:

A45-FDNS
#161478
AML0

CALL SIGN: KALIYUGA

I'm sure that:
Quote:

SUBJECT – AML1
1899 lx
48 dB
296 K"


Is related to the piano link. All three: Light, sound and temperature matches. Now That I have an ID I've have send a message to admin, that I want to push the buttons that match the instructions. But haven't got any answer yet.

I have no idea what to say or how this is supposed to be solved. It seems that Sid is in a room with a piano, a typewriter, some switches and a dial for a thermostat. But... I guess I somewhat was right about my hypothesis but also kind of wrong. This is what I got back:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TUBE CONNECTED



what are those numbers
is that what i do to get out
e2
i turned the dial to 260
but now its really cold in here
it says thermostat on it
is that the right one
can i turn it back
its too cold
which switch is 1
theres 5 here
e2
is the keyboard the piano or tiepriter
i tried to play the piano a few days ago
but the beeps got too loud
it doesnt say e2 on it



SUBJECT – AML1
1897 lx
48 dB
283 K


I have no idea about the tube that was mentioned. This is the second time I have got that message. Last time i got one was when asked what a mandelbox'es volume was in coombs. I answered 16 coombs. And that's when I got "TUBE CONNECTED" back the first time. Anyone who knows about these tubes?

Super new here, have mostly just been lurking and following along but-- maybe the issue was the dial? 260 is for <280K, not sure what 283K is. Now that we're given to understand we have someone on the inside, should we be instead asking Sid about steam vents? Or the dial defaults to 278 if none of those conditions are met.

I don't know. I actually thought i was right one that one. But it might have been wrong... I really don't know now. I'm a bit confused. But those three numbers are changing all the time and I believe they are crucial to solve whatever is going on. The problem is also that Sid don't know anything about a piano keyboard (neither do I) so it's hard to tell him which keys to push.

EDIT: Also... Have in mind that Sid can ask you directly. He did that to me. And I think that has been the case here as well:

Re: the piano, the letter refers to the key, and the number to the octave it's in. E2, for example, would be the...12th white key from the left.

It does look like we'll have to work directly with Sid on this one.
