Unidentified broadcast - 7/20/07

This message intercept appears to be related to one found nearly a year ago. Again, the person or persons behind the message are a potential security risk. Caution is advised.

I was doing some database maintenance and found some of Strayshot's personal files and notes. Particularly his information on Dr. Rajlich.  He shouldn't be keeping this information to himself, that's how he got into his latest trouble in the first place.  Secrets will only beget more paranoia and violence.  And at a time like this, that's the last thing we need.  Knowledge was meant to be shared.  I'm taking a stand for truth.

"Furius Angels been working at this stuff the hardest, probably. Broin Tbone and that hot babe Fawna. i think there was a dude SkyBruin, but maybe he wasnt with them. thats all i remember righ tnow. think I can trust em. would the doc trust em tho?  can trust em to keep our work secret for sure. Yahweh's the one who gave me the translation.  need to remember where i put that. think i forgot the pass.

stuff to remember:
the lupes who assaulted the safehouse, killed the doc, all dead
i saved the link to his notes at http://01mainframe.com/bq142p/rajlich

finish it later, maybe ask thep to help, if he's not busy

people are telling me they saw nails in the flesh. sent me a picture. sure looks like him. word is hes hunting this 991. joker or whatever. seen the clown thing twice, scary mofo.
nails is working for the machines now. not sure where he's jacking in from. no word on any crew or hovercraft. machine access port? spotted with "seeker drones", pasty dudes, no hair. some sort of machine tracking/scanning program? thats my bet. only thing ive heard of him doing is looking for 991 andd eleting him. heard from a mero pal he busted into a mero club and killed what turned out to be a sim before he got mobbed. dudes dedicated to his cause to take a beating like that all to take out one sim. dont want to come between those two. keep an ear out for more info.
got a copy of a machine report that nails gave the angels. compared it to the report i got from a mech, forgot his name. nails censored out couple parts. trying to figure out why.
http://01mainframe.com/bq142p/scan_...ence_5.991.html
"Doing a little light reading? Convenient how the files on the Exarch Incident and the Bandersnatch went missing. Find [looks like this parts missing] night." no way to tell who this message was meant for. haven't found any other info about exarch or bandersnatch. mervs told me a bandersnatch is some sort of monster from a poem.
http://01mainframe.com/bq142p/scan_...T_Fandango.html
got the log files from zion hovercraft fandango from Hawnt. not sure where he got them from. a program called Muse helped the crew break into some sort of machine facility. agents sealed it off, killed the crew. guess the operator, Trans, got away. i guess the consensus around here is that Muse was a former instance of 991. the story recorded in the log files matches up with the mech case files, so i guess its true.
http://01mainframe.com/bq142p/scan_...erv_Report.html
also, seems like the merv reports on "Conundrum" are another possible match to 991. program let himself be captured and brought the Smoothtalkers to a data node which they downloaded to their mainframe along with a virus. virus stole all their data, may have destroyed the whole facility. or else the Conundrum program somehow detonated itself. sounds like it was some sort of interrogation facility for gathering data about programs. from the sound of it, wasnt too recent, doesnt sound too important.
but im more interested in how this relates to the current situation. sounds like the lupes traced the signals from their pal Conundrum back to the data node. something about harmonics.
this exile gang found out about the doc's work. maybe that general broadcast wasnt the best idea. i dont think these are the sort of guys i want to hand the notes over to. my options:
1)try to hit them hard before they hit me. would probably have to call on the crew to back me up. not sure if they'll be willing to back me on a thing like this just yet.
2)wait it out. bad, plenty of opportunities they could take me by surprise. probably would get the crew hurt, maybe killed.
3)go into hiding. stay away from the matrix. maybe hide out in zion, blend in with all the new awakeneds. access to the barges so i can still sneak into the matrix. maybe take the opportunity for some R&R. finish decoding tier 3 and 4. maybe even find a few lonley scared babes who could use a shoulder to rest their head on.
4)ask the redpills for help. crew probably wouldnt like this. might risk breaking the truce or something. cant pull them into this.
2 and 4 are a definite no. 1... probably not. hmm... guess i could use a little vacation. booze, babes, the non virtual kinds. maybe find a beach construct i can jack into. not bad at all. okay, the work goes on hold... just for a little while"

Alright, anyone who I worked with on this before, feel free to give me a call. Let's get cracking.

Could it be that the DocRaj mystery is "The information to end this war" ?

((This precis of the first thread helps get things moving again. I know that this ARG truely baked my noodle, easily as much as the Meatcortechs one.

I wonder whether the mention of "Thep" means that the next development will happen on the Recursion instance...

The last Scanline transmission seemed to suggest that the hovercraft was not likley to last much longer. I guess I was wrong....

Can anyone confirm for me, the numeric representation of each language (1-9) was used to convert the rest of the text wasn't it?

Not sure I did much to deserve any recognition, maybe talking with nails a bit now and then and trying to figure other stuff out.  Also there was a datacapture I received that turned out to be related to the scanline receivers, maybe that's important.

Time to dig up my files and head at this again. Hope there's time with the war going on and all.

I translated that document by hand working non-stop for 4 days by trying various combinations of languages via language translation programs until it made some sense.

Yeah, I know the effort you put in to that translation. /formalbow

My question was more slanted towards acquiring numeric coding from the document:

 0         1         2          3        4         5          6       7       8       9

pig latin = 0; English = 1; French = 2; Spanish = 3; Portugese = 4; Dutch = 5; Russian = 6; Italian = 7; German = 8; Latin = 9

I was asking whether, (rather than translating the documents literal meaning) we have tried using this key to convert the document into a series of numbers.

Err...maybe that's not too clear either....

The first line obvious translates to: "That which counts as key in life is the best." The mention of "key" obviously suggests that this line might be a cypher.

It looks like The Furious Angels then realised the phonetic quality and how in relates to encrypting: "That which counts ASCII in life is best." (ie attributing a numeric value to each type of language used.)

This also seems to have been prompted by the sender: "5 7 5 7 4 9 3 2 1 0 5..." It has then converted this to a code I recognise but whose name has slipped my mind currently: "57 57 49 32 105..." This code would the be converted back to ASCII to find the meaning of the text.

As Tier 3 is shown as figured out by the angels, I was really just looking for confirmation that everyone had been passed the decoded text.

I realise I am likely going over "Old Ground". I apologise in advance..

ooh puzzles....

Mind your 2's and 3's
same for 3 4 and 7
be really careful with 9?

That fist line seems to be a double clue. Firstly the 3 lines together are hints to make sure you pay careful attention to which language is which.

French and Spanish can seem similar
as can Spanish, Portugese and Italian
Latin as a root language has similarities to all of them.

Also mind your 2's and 3's seems to say; when grouping the digits be careful which ones are pairs and which ones are triplets.

One-digit is one digit

Hyphenated words are a single digit

We would be lucky to know what the ASCII character set being used would be. That would certainly help in decoding the numbers.

Of course having a ready-written Binary -> Hexadecimal -> ASCII -> Decimal converter helps ( I wrote one for ease of use with "magic" numbers when I'm coding )

I'd make it public but it has a few peculiarities in its use to get the right result. In particular it stupidly uses null-terminated strings so a byte value of 0 means that the ASCII conversion would stop there. I really should get around to fixing that.

Okay.. I have like a dozen different links but no idea where we're up to...

It has come to my attention that Strayshot has advocated that information pertaining to the unidentified broadcast be shared in this thread.

It seems that various people and groups may have small bits of this puzzle and working together will allow us to solve this thing after a year.

As a result I have decided to share the steganographic analysis of the tier3 document I have completed in the last few days.

Please be aware that the translation was not prefect .. there are missing and extra bits included in the message. I have attempted to

smooth them out as best I can. Please be aware that this may have changed the the meaning of the message.

Those masochists who want to solve this for themselves should not read any further, and I would be happy to share my working spreadsheet with the raw data... just contact conrac on recursion so we can work out the details.

991 is controlled by psyches that I have isolated to those referred so as Dale,

The Reo, one he whispers as Vaere, and the original garbage collector.

They are not truly the personalities of the program structures he assimulated,

but logic processes he has developed representing the recovered code.

991 seems driven with the classification of the psychology of humans and exiles, both in the system and out.

Also, he is devoted to the collection of things that would otherwise go to waste, although his definition of "Waste"

appears to be broader than the normal convention.

991 avoids deletion by the maintaining of a network of programs that forms a collective consciousness though

the sum of its individual capabilities.

These programs are supplemented by data nodes which store bulks of his gathered data.

I have been working to trace them with Emily's twins.

One hidden in the beginning, one hidden in the end.

It will take both to recover any data.

You must understand I hid them so only a mind wise enough to use them could do so.

Holy crap, Conrac, that is some excellent stuff right there! Great job!

And here's the page he was alluding to: http://www.01mainframe.com/bq142p/r...ich/pamela.html

I'm playing around with it at the moment, obviously some of the coordinates and stuff ought to work with Adelia.

Link to the given Adelia coordinates - http://www.01mainframe.com/bq142p/r...95F12.4937.html

The rest must be solved for by triangulation, though I don't really know how to do that in 3D, let alone how to solve for the missing frequency. The "t" variable has got to mean something, also... And it's of worth to mention that there's a number in the top right of each photo with a decimal place similar to that of the frequencies.

Wow nice conrac, I and a few others were struggling through that translation to ascii as well. your right the translation has been giving me fits, but what you came up with looks right with what we ended up with so far.

Since Strayshot seems to want everyone to work on this I'll continue with this here. I had decided to work with others from zion in secret but if strayshot doesn't mind I'll share.

the first data node listed was just outside of sai kung central hardline, most liekly on the vector instance, that is where coffinsnail had been seen before, either by the angels or if I remeber correctly outlaw54 mentioned him beening seen there.

As for the other locations Pamela showssets of data that we can possibly use to pointpoint the coordinates. I'll play around with it here on vector and if I figure anything out I'll post here.

I have been looking at the Pamela Feed .. Seems the feed is updated every day with a new localization.

The first scene was at Sai Kung Central.

The second  on the 20th Floor of the Kedemoth Tower that tisiphone calls home.

The third had poor signal reception and seems to be from under the Edgewater docks

Todays scene was in an apartment in Rogers Way near the broken down roadway and one of the Morpheus Beacon Sightings.

In order to make use of the Adelia tool we need to be able to reverse triangulate the locations of the data nodes.

This is a much harder problem then a normal forward triangulation. Consider that in the forward problem the the Target emits a signal at some time, call it T0. The signal propagates isometrically and is received at the Data nodes at some later times T1, T2 and T3. The data node locations are known locations. The data nodes are capable of determining the azimuth and elevation of the incoming signal. We are assuming straight line propagation, here. This direction is represented by a unit vector and for a given Node forms the parametric equation of a line.  that is

                        XT= X1 + A1*t1, YT=Y1 + B1*t1, and ZT=Z1 + C1*t1

Where (XT,YT,ZT) are the Coordinates of the Target (in meters), (X1,Y1,Z1) are the coordinates of the Node (also in Meters) and (A1,B1,C1) are the components of the Unit Vector indicating the direction of the Target measured by the Data Node (these can be in meters or meters/second) depending on how one treats the variable t1 (the line parameter for node 1). T can either be dimensionless or expressed in seconds if one knows the propagation speed of the signal.  The variable t takes on all values from 0 to infinity. It allows one to trace out all points that lie on the line at whatever resolution to user desires. There are equivalent equations for the other two nodes. All three nodes share the same target but different values for the direction Vector and the line parameter at the point of intersection. We are assumming perfect straight line propagation os only two Modes are required to provide an intersection by solving a set of simultaneous equations for the values of t1 and t2 at the point of intersection. t3 can be calculated for confirmation. that is

                    X1 + A1*t1 = X2 + A2*t2,  Y1+B1*t1 = Y2 + B2*t2, Z1+C1*t1 = Z2+C2*t2

once t1, t2 and t3 are known they can be substituted into the parametric equations of any of the lines to give the coordinates of the Target.

Now consider what Pamela does for us .. First she provides us with the coordinates of the Target... presumably by performing the triangulaization I have described here. She also provides us with a direction vectors that shows us the direction from the target to each one of the nodes. What she does not provide us directly is the travel time for the signal from the target to each of the Nodes.. Therefore we have no direct way to calculate how far along the direction line the node is. What she does provide us with is a frequency of the outgoing  signal from the target ... From which we must derive a distance and the query frequency used by the node because in order to retrieve the data with Adelia we must provide the location and the query frequency of the node. Presumably one can pull the data from each of the nodes used for triangulation.

When one looks at the Pamela data in more detail one realizes several things .. First the Direction vectors are not normalized, which is how one might arrive at a distance to the node. From the Sai Kung scene one can by inspection determine that the t parameter for the indicated node is exactly equal to 2. It also turns out that the outgoing freq from the target is exactly 18 times the Node frequency. In fact all the outgoing frequencies in the first scene are exactly divisble by 18. This includes the number in the upper right hand corner of the if one discards the last digit. I have tried playing around with frequency ratios for determining distance but have not had much success.

In the second scene the frequencies have a highest common denominator of 3. The direction components howver are very large which does not jive very well with the length of the node-target lines in the picture.

At the moment I do not know how to proceed .. perhaps a night sleep will provide me with some new ideas.

Most of that just seems way too beyond my comprehension, that being said if theres something im good at it's finding the location of random shots in mega city - so besides their existance - is there anything about this nodes that makes them different outside of their conjunction and relation to the joker, or are they just random nodes along the way?

Also - max props to Conrac.

Having one in each counting richland and westview as one would make sense, especially with the recurring triangulation business.

Ahhhrrrgghhh... 

Well I kind of figured this would happen.  I have been at the Pamela Page since about 01/2007.  Though the Pamela Page you all are seeing is not what was originally there... and the one that is being posted now has changed from what was displayed in June.  There was an additional code and different x,y,z coordinates than what is up now.  Suffice it to say it took me about 4 days to decode the ASCII script to get the HTMl Pamela Page and then from there we started working at finding the different locations of the nodes.  Though when we had the Pamela Page originally there was just one picture, the top one, and the text at the top was different as well... Suggesting a different type of system for finding the nodes.  A program was actually written by one of our members to locate the other nodes based off of XYZ coordinates and frequencies and we then inputed about 1000 + different locations in the Adelia page to find matches to them.  Which there were none... Simply because the puzzle had not been completed.

Subject:Re:Unidentified Broadcast Live Events Post

You are correct, the puzzle is currently incomplete.

I will talk to Strayshot about sharing the additional information that I have which is not now contained on the different pages. Hell, for all I know the xyz cords that I have that were posted in June were wrong and that's why they changed them to the new ones.  However, I want to make it clear there are those who spent numerous numerous hours working on this puzzle.  Not just FA memebers, but others in the community who were working with the original Scanline Crew and figuring things out.  I do not like the idea of an individual having done so much work and dedicated so much time to a puzzle or storyline activity, only to have all of that hard work and information basically thrown out on the forums, for anyone to gather and run with.  If in the end someone who has not put in the time or effort but is simply able to piggy-back on the hard work of others is granted some type of special item in game I find that extremley extremley disoncerting.   Then again if like Strayshot says there is no bonus to coming across the finish line first then I'll be more than happy to share what I have.

Hey Bro,

I know you're a bit out of my league and all, but I thought of something and I figured I'd run it by you, y'know.

Call me old-fashioned, but you ever think about using a simple map? I know you guys are all smarter then me,

but in the past, y'all have gotten carried away with your fancy technical stuff when the simple solution was already there,

ya dig ?

PAMELA has a new, fifth image, which, to answer Mantra's question, gives us five nodes to work with, though the data is incomplete for each one.  I think, like before, it's a simple, simple solution and we're all looking for the big complicated one.  ((As much as I would like to think sacred geometry was worked in to an MxO puzzle, I doubt they have heard of the natural logarithm e before ))  This is something along the lines of what we would usually look at after an event:
