MINI ARG Discussion and Speculation

Thought I would bring this over from Archive since the ARG is running thru multiple updates. Maybe we can keep this just to ARG related points though, it all seems rather vague to me.
Sorry I could not grab @toddumptious fisrt post. It is permanently trapped in archive.
Sorry @MacForADay for hijacking your post

Sharing this here since it’s definitely related to the ARG; the first Waking Titan started with the word “Portal” hidden in the spectrogram of cassette tapes after all.

Datamining (Maximum Spoilers) - #285 by sheralmyst I

I’ve noticed not all the systems are “Discovered by Hello Games” three weeks ago.

Saw one with a pair of two digit numbers in square brackets. Has me thinking there might be something to peice together here :slight_smile: (all the planets in this system are Discovered by Hello Games, it’s the first Rendezvous point)

During the Expedition I had an Atlantid Anomaly pulse jet instance happen and it spoke to me in ASCII so it’s possible this might also be ASCII

The ASCII on my call screen says “56 4F 49 44 20 50 52 49 4D 45 0A” or “VOID PRIME” capitalised.

Or it’s nothing and someone is using that systemclock thing to override Hello Games discoveries ’ ^ _ ^

The Autophages also have ASCII names. I’ve only spoken to two so far but this is what I got [57 65] [64 6f] - We Do

Might be ARG related or just something for the Expedition

The [77 65] from the System discoverer also spells “we” but with a lowercase W

‘WeweDo’ if I put it in order I’ve been getting these ’ ^ _ ^ You you do what?

Edit:

Another System discovered by Hellogames-not-Hellogames. Looks like it’s going to be all the Phase Rendezvous

[77 65] We
[77 69 6c 6c] Will
[62 75 69 6c 64] Build

Okay this is probably not ARG clues, just some more flavoursome Atlantid messages for the Expedition.

Apparently the binary translates to “Void Mother”. The filename on the website for this image is “Patches_Secret”.

Wonder where else HG might’ve hid clues then. The trailer maybe?

Afaik there’s a dialogue with some small hex thrown in somewhere which translates to “our own convergence”, wonder if that’s being “built”.
Might have some evidence for it that i’ll throw into datamining spoilers in a bit.

We may wish to collect all of the messages from the new Space Encounters we get.

Here are a few I came across:

41 20 6e 65 77 20 41 74 6c 61 6e 74 69 64 20 69 73 20 63 6f 6d 69 6e 67

[57 65] [64 6f] [6E 6F 74] - We Do not

Oh cool, I just keep getting the first one about a new Atlantid

The Atlas stations are making some weird sounds I don’t remember them making before when presenting your buddy parts, might be crazy but each one sounds a little different. (pre- waypoint since I last went, so might just be an old change)

I’m avoiding reddit and just sticking here so if anyone has heard anything about this or can tell me its an old change from back a bit, awesome <3

edit:
Hey I finally got a different one!

57 65 20 61 72 65 20 61 20 6C 69 66 65 62 6F 61 74
We are a lifeboat

More edit: more bigger. I got this call as soon as I destroyed the previous atlantid piece and answered it thinking it was a bug. Or a taunt?

4c 69 66 65 20 69 73 20 6e 65 76 65 72 20 65 78 74 69 6E 67 75 69 73 68 65 64 2E 20 54 68 65 20 64 61 74 61 20 72 65 6d 61 69 6e 73 2e 20 54 68 65 20 77 69 6c 6c 20 72 65 6d 61 69 6e 73

Yes, those sounds are indeed new, as well as a lot of new visual effects.

What is a shell, but a vessel – 0x006F7572<> – of silicon, glass or metal, a crystal, a planet – 0x206F776E<> –
0x206F776E<> –they awaken from the void – 0x76657267<> – they all awaken in response – 0x656E6365<> – in unison, against deletion!

0x006F7572 converts to ASCII as “our”. ,…possibly NULL our
0x206F776E converts to ASCII as “own”.
0x76657267 converts to ASCII as “verg”.
0x656E6365 converts to ASCII as “ence”.

So is the missing part DI or Con? Divergence or Convergence?

I’m gonna guess Convergence as there is a Phase milestone about igniting Convergence in the Expedition I’m currently on.

I believe that is the one connected to the tiered community mission

Think I got it in game from an Autophage… 4th maybe…just noted it down then checked string later, couldn’t be arsed to write everything out as I found it, just pointers to remind me to look later lol

I got this:

57 65 20 77 69 6C 6C 20 6E 65 76 65 72 20 73 65 65 20 68 6F 6D 65 20 61 67 61 69 6E

Translates to: “We will never see home again”

And then later I got this one:

65 76 61 63 75 61 74 69 6F 6E 20 66 61 69 6C 65 64 2E 20 6C 69 66 65 62 6F 61 74 73 20 6C 6F 73 74 2E 20 61 6C 6C 20 63 6F 6E 76 65 72 74 65 64

Translates to: “evacuation failed. lifeboats lost. all converted”

Can we get a list of these put into the first post so they are all stored in one place?

I managed to translate all of the Hex from the lang strings looking for unused assets, but I don’t think I should post em till people decipher more of the messages legitimately. Thoughts?

Maybe post them with spoiler warnings…?
Its nice to have a record of these things.

So these must be the clues SM mentions here:
Singularity’s mysteries extend into several layers, and players who are especially interested in the narrative can delve below the surface to uncover further clues to what is on the horizon for No Man’s Sky.
