I honestly didn't think this was an ARG at all at first. After several days of following IRIS, though, it's starting to seem increasingly suspicious.
It posted this audio recording a few minutes ago: http://zdk12.tumblr.com/post/76439523045 (If you're listening to headphones, don't turn them up!)
Someone on tumblr got a spectrogram: http://threeselves.tumblr.com/post/76443048297/heres-a-spectrogram-for-the-newest-audio-text
It comes out as "BLACBI" which I think would be a reference to the Blackbirds. Thoughts?

There's a theory by some people on Tumblr right now that IRIS is related to the upcoming movie Transcendence. The website for that (with trailer) is at http://rift.transcendencemovie.com/ and the director has mentioned blogs in at least one interview.

That's the RIFT side of the website (although it does have an important video), the main site is here: http://transcendencemovie.com/
Just as a clarification, the main clues that led to this theory were its relation to Artificial Intelligence, and upon investigation, the trailers contain a flashback with a brief frame of a goldfish in a bowl. IRIS mentioned having such a fantail goldfish as a pet in previous posts. In the first trailer, the text "IS ANYONE TH3RE?" appears on screen, but in the second trailer, the 3 has been changed to an E. The number 3 has been significant... Also, there is a photo on the main site that shows Johnny Depp's character standing in front of a large picture of an eye/iris. And yes, the videos at least are confirmed to be a "viral" campaign for the movie.

Looks like 11 is back. IRIS posted about this URL, but then deleted the ask minutes later.

IRIS said that blacbi87 is one of the blackbirds, but it appears that 11 has hijacked their blog. Shenanigans!

ZDK v0.6 , v0.3 and v0.1?
Quote:
Anonymous Anonymous asked:
What is zdk06?
Hello,Anonymous
They do not exist? At least not currently,and I am positive of this
Only 1.0 on, although previous versions of 1.2 are incompetent, to be honest
see you later
If zdk12 = ZDK v1.2
then these look like ZDK related tumblrs.
ZDK v0.6 - http://zdk06.tumblr.com/
Definitely related looks like an earlier version.
ZDK v0.3 - http://zdk03.tumblr.com/
Also looks related and is within the timespan
ZDK v0.1 - http://zdk01.tumblr.com/
This one is also somewhat in the timeframe of ZDK as it was created in Dec 2013

Any ZDK before 10 is not canon. Iris says so itsself, stating nothing exists before. 1.0. Also, zdk1.tumblr.com has absolutely nothing to do with the current story as of right now.

Threeselves is chronicling the thing but it still feels a bit scattered.

10 has posted an item for sale in the eBay shop: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131115968483
The item is pictured as 10's icon of an isopod, and the item's description is:
Quote:

It's listed under the category

Baseball
so it's likely some kind of trading card like the ones in its collection. The auction ends on Feb 15, 2014 13:04:52 PST and is shipping from Tempe, Arizona.

This is what it says under Item Specifics on the eBay page:
zdk10 eBay page wrote:
Condition:
Acceptable: An item with obvious and significant wear but is still operational. May have tears or holes in VHS/DVD box. The video game instructions and box may not be included. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. See all condition definitions
Either this is a general description used for many eBay items or ZDK10 is describing a video or video game.

Info on ZDK10 (the Ebay user): http://threeselves.tumblr.com/post/76375029353/zdk10-info
Info on ZDK 11: http://threeselves.tumblr.com/post/76292862540/zodiak11-info
Most of the information we have so far: http://threeselves.tumblr.com/confused/
EDIT: ZDK10 now has an item up for sale. The picture is of a giant isopod, although the item description is "Acceptable: An item with obvious and significant wear but is still operational. May have tears or holes in VHS/DVD box. The video game instructions and box may not be included. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections." As of 9:12 GMT the bidding's up to $9 USD.

Since the auction doesn't end until Saturday, I would recommend not bidding until then, so we don't drive up the price. It could hold an important clue, if 10 is even physically able to ship the item that is, and we don't want it to get too expensive.

Hey guys, this is Robot Dissonance from the IRIS chats.
We've been trying to keep track of who all is bidding to a) rule out GM involvement and b) try to keep the price low. It might be better to all work together instead of having a bidding war against each other.
We have a document that we are working on, and in it I have a table trying to document all bids and who bid what. If possible, I would appreciate if individuals could claim their bids.
Threeselves is a great reference for information, but the most up to date info will be located in the IRIS-AR chat since we always have people online working on the coded messages and trying to find the newest clues.
Thanks and happy gaming!
