 		This one seems to have kinda died off. Did anything ever come from the cell phone or the SD card inside it?

 		They've posted they had 6 blackouts in one day...so clearly someone is still there.

As an aside, "silence teaches you how to sing" could either refer to the blackouts (& what is happening during them) &/or the (very creepy) song by Ulver of the same name.

 		Had a convo tonight on Facebook. Here goes:

Quote:
Me: Hello? Is anyone still there? Wilsted told one of us everyone is dead...but it looks like someone at least is still there. What has been happening during the blackouts? I assume it was Wilsted who posted "silence teaches you how to sing"...unless he has a thing for Norwegian experimental music, I'm thinking he's probably referring to the times during the blackouts. Anything interesting or unusual happening during them?
JI: im sure hes referring to the blackouts, he must've gotten into the server during the downtime... fuck... the password for our gmail account has also been changed too... hes trying to fuck with us...
hes also switched the tapes used by the cameras me and price had setup in the main halls...
Me: Why would he do that? What was on them that he wanted to remove?
JI: just some recruitment emails sent by the bot and some video files a friend of mine a couple states away backed up from the YT account
Me: Sounds innocuous enough. Any idea why he'd want to remove access to those emails/files? I noticed the original videos had odd titles - all numbers. Almost like they were code. But if they were, I couldn't work out how to decrypt them...I may be way off, of course...but other than some odd frames saying things along the lines of "we are the flood...we are the ark...save them" we weren't sure what else would be of interest to Wilsted...
JI: The numbers were the file names, they're nothing but random numbers jumbled together. i wouldnt look much into them but I know some of them were weird as fuck recruitment TV advert spots...
Me: So here is the text from the two recruitment ads: (*snip*...just cut & paste from earlier post)
Any idea what the ark is? And how we can save them (you?)? Has it stopped raining?
Me: Because there's lots of interesting info there...but we're not sure how to progress from here...
One of us seems to always get Wilsted when they chat...but Wilsted doesn't seem to be in a chatty mood...
JI: seems like willsted is obsessed with the bible... he isnt that religious however...
Me: Gen 6:13 talks about how God will destroy the earth. But in the Bible, God also saved Noah, etc...we still have no idea how we can save those of you left...
One of us found a phone...
JI: yeah... it got sent to the fella who emailed me the back up videos
also 6:13 might also refer to the really shit weather out here
Me: Oh? In what way? Is it still raining?
JI: its snowing heavily, we had to hack off and repair door hinges that had frozen solid...
Me: Wilsted mentioned the stars didn't align & so the flood was coming. In the Bible, the flood started on the 17th day. The snow is probably connected - it started after Wilsted posted that. So the question has to be asked...how do you stop Wilsted & stop the snow? Is the black snow still inside the building? Can it be disposed of?
And as for the phone...did it come from you? Or Wilsted?
JI: the phone was most likely sent by wilsted... the black snow is currently under heavily supervised quarantine... Price is currently taking night shifts in the main frame room which wilsted has been seen in...
Me: Hmmmm....I guess we'll need to wait while the phone's recipient goes through it...he said a lot of it was corrupted. Hopefully he knows what he's looking at.
Any chance the black snow can be removed? We suspect there's a link between the black snow and zombie Wilsted.
JI: probably... im keeping in contact with the recipient
Me: Ok...well, I guess all we can do for now is wait until that's done. Stay safe. And I hope Price is ok on the night shift.
JI: i hope so too
Me: During the blackouts in particular...I don't know if I want to know how Wilsted intends to teach people to sing in the silence...
JI: we hear weird ass sounds during the night... in blackouts in particular...
probably thats what he meant...
Me: Hmmmm...so what or who is making the noises...and why? Something to think about...
JI: it sounds like a horn... similar to the one our icebreaker/research ship uses but its more... eerie sounding...
Me: Hmmmmm...you haven't had any earthquakes? Reminds me of the story of Jericho...
Could it be a vehicle? Another ship? Or do you think it's ethereal? ie, not from a physical source...
JI: probably ethereal...
Me: Interesting. Whatever is controlling Wilsted certainly wants it's presence felt...
Let us know how you go today. And if the noises & blackouts get more frequent. Stay safe!



So...in summary...the phone is from Wilsted. There are still people inside. The black snow is still inside. The video titles aren't relevant. But Wilsted, for whatever reason, seems to want to block access to the videos & recruitment emails. Why? It's snowing & it's thought the weather is related to the Genesis verse about the oncoming flood (bad weather, water, etc). Whatever is controlling Wilsted is fixated with the Bible but Wilsted himself wasn't religious. The blackouts seem to be getting more frequent & it's during these that Wilsted is active....it's also during these that the others can hear weird noises, which sound like a ship's horn but aren't coming from a physical source. A gathering consciousness from the black snow?

 		That i must admitt is one solid and sound theory... maybe the black snow is something more then meets the eye?

 		Great job
Good chat! Last time i spoke with Wilsted he was very short so calling him "not very chatty" is accurate.

@Newmerchant, we are all very curious about that phone...can you take pictures of it? maybe post what you can find on it so far and see if those lead us anywhere...

Hello, we've gained access to this account for the following reasons.
The Icebreaker that supposedly picked them up has gone missing, searches conducted by families of the missing and the coast guard have come up with nothing except one buoy and a deflated life raft.
I was sent a camera which was owned by one of the personal, it contained a memory stick with the account info on it and several video files.
We will upload the videos to this account as well as informing the Price and Phillips families that they're gone.
Check back soon.


New facebook post. Does anyone else feel very disconnected from this game...like we have to part in it...it feels like we are just watching a movie...

 		Yes, I agree. And it's moving very very slow.
