Seeing as how, as a community, we really need to make the most out of our limited live events, and share our findings with each other, I thought i'd post something I was working on.


For all I know, some of this might end up being minor spoilers, so if you want to figure everything out yourself, then don't read on.


During the Mero crits, I paid extra attention to the messages and info from the computers around the various mission areas and noticed a few things that caught my eye - so, I decided to take screenshots of them all.  Once I was through, I threw together a compilation of what seemed to be the key parts, and tried to decipher them.


To be honest, I didn't really get that far, and never had time to really look into them any closer - however after noticing 'Skwerl's post regarding Cryptos box locations, one jumped out - so I checked over the stuff I got from the crits once again.


Rather than trying to pick it apart myself - I thought i'd upload it for anyone in the community who might be interesting in seeing whether there is anything else hidden.


A few points:


1) Ignore my additions about Gemaskaard and Enmascarado, as the 'G' and 'E' in the msgs appears to mean Gracy and Edgewater


2) Ignore the 'ighab' comment, that was simply me overthinking things with the U[117x836] part


3) 240, 235 are not co-ords, it turns out they relate to the opening times of the boxes at their locations.


4) The 'e-mail' section allowed me to fill in the blanks and spell out "Buckled Urge".  Now, also looking at the order in which the boxed open as per their location, that also spells 'Buckled Urge' - certainly sounds like a possible name for an 'Amazement'


The info I gathered can be found here: http://www.mxoretribution.com/CritMessages.bmp


Hopefully there is something more to be found, or possibly other hidden details in Machine and Zion crits.  I still haven't figure out whether NESCIRE or the details for Acubens (as in the node numbers etc) are relevant in any way.


Anyhow, thought i'd post it just in case there is anything more we can gain from it.

   The Nescire is a Zion hovercraft.  Its crew appeared in both the Zion and Machine critical missions.  It was discovered at the end of the Zion criticals that the crew of the Nescire were in fact Cypherites.

BUCKLED URGE corresponds to the location and order of the Cryptos boxes around the city.

B for Bathary Row, U for Union Hill, C for Center Park, and so on.

Yeah, that's it. We managed to find the correct order the first day the
new criticals were available. The BUCKLED URGE part was more difficult
to find in Merovingian missions than Machines however. I've been told
that twice in the first or second mission the buckled urge is presented
clearly. For us Merovingians, we had to search a little bit more. It
was easy to get however. Also in the missions, we could find the coords
of 4 of the boxes. I assume that Zion and Machines each had 4 other
coords.

Parts of the U, R, and G coordinates were also in the Zion missions :smileywink:
