META!!! ~ For those who don't know, "Steve" is Steve Peters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Peters_(game_designer)
He's pretty frakking awesome.

I'm archiving as much a possible, this post contains some trout from Tygr's post, I'm aware, I'm just fitting it in, no need to trout me!!!

So... Flex is the universal network in this world apparently. FLEX feels like the baby of "Big Brother" from 1984 and Facebook {could this be because Peters is kind of known for hating FB? Is this a statement, or am I reading too much in! The later I'm sure!!! }. And none of us have the newest version of this network - it's like trying to do ANYTHING online these days with Internet Explorer.

The only working links are:

So the $15 question: is anyone NOT getting the unsupported hardware errors?

[Pixiestix]

I'm sure those errors are dummies, by design. We don't have FLEX capability..... Yet. Perhaps we will get some app that somehow works, although I can't imagine HOW. The whole "scan this FLEX to do blah blah blah" thing, where every FLEX logo or marking looks exactly alike... Not like they are QR codes (another thing Steve is famous for hating. If this all ends with the Congressman actually being a Mime, I might die!!!)

I would bet money that each of the 12 pictures listed here (http://3ic.us/wp-content/uploads/photo-gallery/) correspond to the 12 hub locations listed on the SOIL website

Steve's company No Mimes Media helped create a digital story world for the new novel Seneca Rebel. On hub144.io it reads:

META: [i]Yeah, okay. This is def connected. I originally said it was an ad camp for the book, but more and more I believe it is actually just that the book isn't just a book. It is an experience, and these sites probably play out the story a bit...

I don't *do* ebooks. I'm going to get left out REALLY quick. That looks like it would be do much fun!! You can buy it here!

I have to wonder: "SENECA-INSPIRED CHOCOLATE"

I wonder if there is anything at ALL near the virginia hub...

[tygr20]

Blind theory- could the hub114.io site be optimized for a VR headset? Highly unlikely, I know, but that's the only "newer" hardware I can imagine that would allow you to select the "FLEX" buttons.

[Pixiestix]

Given that this is part of the experience for he book (assuming it is, and that it wasn't just an advertisement) I doubt they would use something the majority of young adults (whom the book was aimed for I believe) would own.

I purchased and read the e-book. It is quite a gripping story, but still have no idea how to progress on this... and reading the story (and the author's website) I would expect there to be something hiding behind it all

Not that I could see, but then I was reading it on the Kindle for iPhone app.

There were additional co-ordinates (for the Claytor site) but no links or anything.

The seneca society website has an aptitude test which points you to the hub144.io site at the end (the Veil Injection it refers to links into the story)

The hub144.io site now has "Compose" link under the email notification icon. Have sent a message asking for instructions on how to upgrade my Flex. Received what seems to be an auto-reply:
