Question.

If Halsey walled off the Sp in the Labryinth then that means she was never intended to be a part of Melissa. So in fact Melissa WAS acting the way she would have prior to the wreck towards the end here.

And now that the SP is integrated into her it would make her act differently than she would have before. The question is how will it affect melissa who is now (as far as we know) the only AI to have accessed their hidden human side.

Oh and if Melissa and Durga are the same that means Melissa is at the end of her lifecycle as well(7yrs).... [spec] maybe accessing her human side can offset the effects of rampancy? [/spec]

[spec]Melissa and Durga will no longer come to the end of their life cycles. That was part of the 7-year problem: AI's getting closer to discovering their own original identities.[/spec]

Reveal the truth
That is the law and the whole of the law

Flea++ For Dummies

Quote:
master-sector > !splotch Princess
seeker > !seek Princess friends

Princess friends > !transmit seeker>>transmit proc "Margaret Efendi

Princess friends > !help seeker


Melissa (master-sector) has killed the Princess
The Flea is seeking friends of the Princess.
Friends of the princess, talk to the Flea using Margaret Efendi's email

Friends of the princess, help the Flea!

Quote:

grope:
!probe "Princess proc
fail

grope:
!probe extern proc 0
success

grope:
!probe extern proc 0
crypt strong

Princess friends > !help


Someone sent '!probe "Princess proc' to ladybee. That probe failed, but probing for extern proc 0 succeeded.

The probe returned that extern proc 0 (the princess) is strongly encrypted.

The Flea asked for further help.

Quote:

!decrypt extern proc 0
pwd

!transmit extern proc 0>>"Yasmine
fail msg: pwd inc

Princess friends > !help


Someone sent '!decrypt extern proc 0' and '!transmit extern proc 0>>"Yasmine' to the Flea, based on the story fragments we receieved where the Princess's "true name" unlocks her coffin (crypt).

The decrypt attempt fails, because the password is incomplete (could also mean incorrect, but read on).

The Flea asks for further help.

Quote:

!transmit extern proc 0>>"Yasmine Zemat
fail msg: pwd unk

Princess friends > !help


In the IRC chat we decided to try Yasmine's full name, as best we could spell it. Someone sent '!transmit extern proc 0>>"Yasmine Zemat' to ladybee777. This time we get "password unknown", which I took to mean that we misspelled the last name -- "Zemat" isn't something known.

The Flea asked for help again.

Quote:

!transmit extern proc 0>>"Yasmine Zaman
success

grope:
!probe extern proc 0
dmg unk

Princess friends > !help


Based on the various pronunciations in the WAV files, I sent the Flea a message with '!transmit extern proc 0>>"Yasmine Zaman'.

This was successful, and the Flea revealed that the damage to the princess was unknown.

The Flea asked for more help.

Quote:

grope:
seeker > !attach extern proc 0
success

surg:
seeker > !extend extern proc 0>>master-sector command proc
success

Princess friends>>seeker friends


Apparently meta sent 'seeker > !attach extern proc 0' to the Flea, which resulted in the Flea succesfully "attaching" to the Princess (like he'd been trying to do all along).

The Flea then used the 'extend' command to link together extern proc 0 (the princess) and the master-sector command proc (Melissa).

He closed by saying that the Princess's friends are now his friends.

And the rest is on the 404 page.

you think Mel/PF are going to finally connect with Durga and tell them all that happened in full about the Apocalypso? The fact that there's now an AI 550 years in the past? Durga with no memories may now be able to put 2 + 2 together about everything that happened on the apocalypso!

oh oh oh and melissa now has to meet up with kamal... and considering the word is already out there about durga & being yasmine (supposedly), we know for certain now that Melissa is/was Yasmine... so...

here are the loose ends:

Kamal -> Melissa
Kamal -> Sophia
Jersey -> Mother
Jan -> Enlisting (becoming who she's meant to be)
Rani -> Nick
K/D/J/J/R -> Chawla Base
Herzog/Standish -> Artifact
Melissa/Yasmine -> BTTF

anything else I could be missing?

Melissa has always been in contact with Durga. She is receiving the clips from Durga. She caused Durga to record and transmit the clips of Herzog without Durga's knowledge. SP and PF had been attempting to "reveal the truth" to Durga, sending her the the clips that were concealed from he by Melissa.

Quote:
Durga: Yes. Listen, Jersey, something clicked in my head again this week and suddenly I heard the old man.


The pathway must work in both directions, and Melissa has some control over it.

The embeded text was a memory dump. The .wavs were happening in "parallel" real time in the future. Clips received here a week apart were happening a week apart in the future. This Sunday Team Jersey is planning to invade Chawla base, the transmissions we recieve on OUR Sunday will apparently be "real time" monitoring of the events as they transpire (this from text that was on the 404 page, but has now been replaced with the SP/Mel joyous reunion text, I don't know where to find the archive).

PS- I just got a call from "Rani" --- however, it was a guy who was offering me great rates on morgages! I won't post it on "interactions".

AWESOME job to everyone in #beekeepers for their great work on this puzzle. It was definitely cool to be a part of it.
