Watched the documentary. This is fascinating stuff.
But where does it take us? Who is afflicted with sleep paralysis and what does it mean.
Interesting that the golden trees mentioned on the London notes often translates to a portal between worlds in many cultures from what I have read. This then ties together with the demons and ghosts that are depicted as the hallucinations in sleep paralysis. I don’t know what the nine / ten months mean, could it be a dream diary giving dates following a specific event? 10 months ago would put this at sometime in June last year which would be when Waking Titan started… Emily / loop16.
I believe @MacForADay stated in a vid that ppl have tried purchasing items but, the amount of credits does not decrease. So maybe it is not really ready yet. ???
Further to yesterday’s thoughts, I’m now wondering, if Emily has downloaded herself into Arnaud’s head, perhaps he / his body needs to wake up, before Emily can become conscious. Is the system unable to reboot because Arnaud can’t be woken?
The safety section of the Ware site contains warnings about a number of things that might prevent a user from waking:
“If you have an history of psychological disorders, sleep disorders or any pre-existing medical conditions that could affect your capacity to safely wake up, consult your doctor before use of the headset.
Do not use this product if you are under the influence of intoxicants.”
I suspect that we need to know exactly what’s wrong with Arnaud. And once we do, I suspect there’s a specific combination of supplies we need to buy to help him.
I think there’s information we haven’t been given yet.
I agree… there is definitely much more to this… and the fact that Arnaud’s ID shows up in the waking titan console, inherently linked to Loop16 and Emily, changes everything
I think Mr. Cheng might have been compromised, like many of us, to help certain charismatic lady… Or dare I say… entity, which needed a containment vessel in spite certain purge attempts on her personality. Monsieur Nada, I mean Nadeau, might be indeed experimenting an alternate life… As an Artemis of sorts. Meanwhile, our good-hearted “WARE”, not to be confused with W.A.R.E. (We are really evil) are trying to convince the “clearly out of his mind” doctor, to reverse the procedure, have the developer back… And the “repository purged at last”.
Just a hunch…
On the Myriad page, it said that the Immortality Drive feature takes a sample of your biological material and bio-metric data. Maybe Arnaud’s mind is being stored on the Myriad network. Have diagrams or images of the Myriad satellites ever been released or seen somewhere?
Indeed… waking someone up would need a dose of adrenaline and a neurological monitor… (epiphrine and EEG)… maybe we have 3000 ware because we are going to need all of it to spend on a range of items… a community/group task perhaps? Since each person only can really order a single product…
Okay, new theory. I have looked at the image again and I think that there is an EEG trace on there that could display a Status Epilepticus (SE), a single epileptic seizure for subject 1. Propofol is one of the treatments if other treatments aren’t available.
Propofol is also commonly used as a general anaesthetic. It would put someone to sleep but with no REM sleep cycle. If someone was suffering from sleep paralysis this would prevent a person from entering REM sleep and therefore experiencing sleep paralysis. The side effects are memory loss. WIth no REM sleep this would disrupt the dreaming process as well. They would not ‘wake’ in the dream state for the Ware Tech to work.
So, has someone already administered Propofol to subject 1 and we are seeing the health readout from a medical device connected to an unconscious person?
Just sound-boarding as I am at a loss as to what we are meant to do with all this new information.
This is an artist’s impression from the surface of Titan showing the view of a ring planet. This is like a classic sci-fi novel cover, which SM said was his inspiration for the whole game!
I am starting to think that the name of the ARG is more literal than I first thought. Ring planets in NMS I am going to be so disappointed if they are not in NEXT now
Just an observation: epilepsy connects a number of the items on the supply list and on the imgur file.
EEG is an important test for diagnosing epilepsy.
Propofol is used for treating status epilepticus, a single epileptic seizure lasting more than five minutes or two or more seizures within a five-minute period without the person returning to normal between them.
There have been studies that propose that anticoagulants - blood thinners - can reduce thrombin which can lead to seizures.
Epilepsy implants - termed in one article as “a defibrillator for the brain” - are used to help control the disease. The supplies list doesn’t specify the type of defibrillator.
There are scientific papers that suggest that epinephrine - adrenaline - can both trigger and suppress seizures.
Some epilepsy syndromes are genetic, and genes are a major factor in other syndromes.
Is it possible that there is a connection or causation between WARE’s technology and epilepsy?
Hi there!
Sorry I’ve been offline for a while…
Catching up parts of new things…
On Arnaud’s postcards in ware extranet, there are 3 words : king, monastery and town… Has it been solved yet?
I think that is what led people to Egypt. If you work out the locations on the cards, then read the directional clues in the cards, Egypt is what you arrive at. That is where Mr Zheng is. Now we are waiting, I guess, for him to be captured.
That one was a tough puzzle, it took us all a while to figure everything out. Each card had several clues. As you mentioned, the circled letters gave “monastery”, “king”, and “town”. The corrupted pictures were found to be of Teotihuacan in Mexico, Macu Piccu in Peru, and Volubilis in Morocco. The numbers & cardinal directions mentioned in the text of each card gave geographic coordinates for Iraq, Pakistan, and India. When the 6 countries were submitted to WARE, they updated their twitter to confirm we were on the right track. Triangulating between the countries gave intersections over Egypt. Finally, applying the first clue gave the correct answer: Deir el-Medina (“the monastery of the town”) in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.
this one is tough then…
I am going to be so disappointed if they are not in NEXT now
