 		The "combine sound and sight" is a reference to healing vision, I'd think....

It asks how we'd fancy "625". Well, at 25 seconds into the song, there appear to be two breaks in the music. No idea how this comes together- maybe if someone could play with the music and find something there? No idea where the number 6 comes in.... anyhow.

 		Well i don't know why it hasnt been posted yet but the reaper command went live tonight.

and a key was found inside it.

i think that was the death.key

i think that was the sight background.jpg and sound the new mp3.

625 might have something to do w/ starry. they seem to be helping us tie up loose ends.

 		For the new commands and keys:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The "reaper" command was discovered yesterday, (or today actually...) in chat. There is a background sound in the new song (don't remember, heaven something) that resembles a heartbeat monitor. So we matched the sound to the image on the main page of the Order. The "reaper" command led to death.key which was sent yesterday. Also the time.key was sent yesterday, its missing half was inside the new misunderstood.mp3. Uncamouflaged by the keyword "time".

Sorry for not posting earlier, but it was late....


And, Randomeis, about the chat last night, with the reaper thing.... Now that was a quick draw. : )

 		aha, i've got something on that binary:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
pgcc32 IS a screename on AIM. his directory info is:

First Name: Project
Middle Name:
Last Name: Gateway
Maiden Name:
Nickname: CC32
Street Address: Computer Bay 12
City: Military Base
State: NV
Country: United States

which pretty much puts him in game. his profile is:

"Up and down, life goes round, taking you by suprise.
But don't be sad, get out and be glad, you have a life to live, so be wise!

Freeze.
That's rough.
Stop being overt.
No, no, no, Zeta!
I like to get even.
Never even think about saying never."


he's away and idle right now though, and his away message simply says "Unavailable"

 		I added him to my IM screen and his away message said something like, "Connected. Awaiting command line." Also, at the bottom, it was keeping count of keys waiting to be processed, which is nice to know.

So I sent a message, and here's my conversation:

slinky730: Eh, okay, well....
slinky730: Can I ask you another question?

slinky730: Okay, well, what's the relation between you and the guard?

slinky730: Oh, hello.
pgcc32: Guard: Question?
slinky730: I was just confused a bit because you and CC32 are the same, but different.
slinky730: And then CC32 ran you, I guess to answer my question.
pgcc32: Guard: Was programmed by user S_Roberts for user interaction.
slinky730: Oh. Well, that's good.
slinky730: Smart guy, then.
slinky730: I guess that answers my questions, then.
pgcc32: Guard: Noted.

pgcc32: CyberStrike: Yeah, I mean, really. What a dumpy town.

pgcc32: CyberStrike: DON'T MOVE, OR YOU'LL NEED A NEW HEAD!!
pgcc32: *Sound of lights coming on*
pgcc32: CyberSlash: What were you saying about being quiet?
pgcc32: CyberStrike: I'm ok.... I'm really ok... I was just worried about you.
pgcc32: CyberSlash: Well thank you for saving me from that deadly labratory setup. It would have killed me, I'm sure of it.
pgcc32: CyberStrike: Hey, you don't know what sorta chemicals could have been in there.

 		Another command/key 625
So on a whim, i used 625 at the command prompt.

Took me to the a new page, w/ a key

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

in source of 625.htm
///----------------------\
//| |
//| I am illusion |
//| I am your greatest |\_______________________________
//| set of fears. | \
//| Use me, and you | \
//| shall unlock |________________________________ /
//| eternal horror. | ____ _ __ ___ _/
//| |/ \ / \ / \_/ \ /
//| | \/ \ / \ /
//| Gate#3213 | \_/ \/
//\-----------------------/


Which also takes you to a new page :

http://www.freewebs.com/32ndnotes/625.htm

which seems to have many parts that i havent decoded/looked at fully. And another key in the source :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

///----------------------\
//| |
//| I am martial arts. |
//| I am the fighting |\_______________________________
//| style of the orient. | \
//| Use me, and you | \
//| shall unlock |________________________________ /
//| true strength. | ____ _ __ ___ _/
//| |/ \ / \ / \_/ \ /
//| | \/ \ / \ /
//| Gate#3220 | \_/ \/
//\-----------------------/


i havent submitted either of these keys as last time we overload the guard.

I think i did this right based on the guidelines...

cheers

 		Wow, Browsin, well done!

Go ahead and submit, I think the guard is ok now..

Lots of words flash up in that 625 page..

I've caught so far:

Quote:

Getting closer... musical fish 075 rock Goodbye!


Although any of them could be wrong, they flash up so fast!

 		32ndnotes/625.htm
So i stepped through the flash frame by frame, which is a bit tideous, but you dont miss info.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Each line is a on a seperate frame, if there is a / that means the text was split w/ a new line there.

Gateway
Proj / ect
(title page graphic)
Getting
closer...
musi / cal
musi / cal
fish
watch
075
rqoo8nt
r
ro
roc
rock
Goodbye.
<fades out>

It could be rqoo8ht...



Time to get to puzzle solving...

(fixed rqoo8ht after checking again)

cheers

 		Nice, Browsin!

One thing - we actually already had mirage, but powerfist is definitely new!

 		Alright, in healingcvision--the file is overlayed with a recording of the sounds an EKG makes--specifically, what sounds like a person dying. The beats start regularly, then get irregular and finally stop altogether. I'm going to visually examine the file momentarily.

 		Could be trout, but Healing Vision: Angelic Mix is a DDR song. What we have is only a snippet, but that EKG stuff is supposed to be in there. I've got a copy of the full MP3, and I'll try to find significance as to where our snippit begins and ends.
