The structure that looks like 3 boxes attached, is Hanger 19, Arm/De-arm, Scoot-n-Hide. The small rectangle structure below is a Weapons Bunker. The runway with the Janet Boeing 737-600 is the New Center Taxiway (Spring 2003). The marker indeed appears to be in the area of the crossing dirt road.
Ok not sure if this has been covered I haven’t had the time to read through everything. But I searched #myriadnews in Facebook bit didn’t really see anything. But one of the suggested was a company here in Australia called myriad, at first I thought there was no relation but after looking at the page I saw in the pictures a similarity a huge plane coming out of a hangar, I was thinking still no buggy until I looked at where the plan was, the Mojave desert.
I started to freak and checked both the maps and I was shocked they were in the same area.
I remember that Sean Murray use to live in Australia most of his life and it all sort of clicked…

Let me k now your thoughts… I’m going back to see what I can see.
The about section says “connecting the dot connector” am I going crazy?
Edit: that’s apparently their slogan (maybe)
We’ll have to see if one of the contacts for that location ends up being named “Janet”! -)

NOTICE: Their site seems to be unrelated, the profiles have been around longer, and while it’s a complete junkyard of a site imo, it does not seem to be related in any way to this game except perhaps for the quote I’ll leave in this post that originally sparked my interest. Do notice however that it could well be a generic joke, and as such it appears to be a case of “look and you will find”.

Say what?
Anyway, if anyone wants to investigate this, please do be a good visitor of their site, since it seems to be a legit site, it would be rather rude to break something.
EDIT: removed the first quote, their site does have a Murray, but it seems to be a different (and probably legit) person.
While I do believe it to be an odd site still, I’m not so sure it’s connected anymore.
Probably a case of “when looking for the number 5, you’ll see it show up everywhere… until you start looking for 6”.
EDIT2: seems this site checks out, it’s an odd site, but I have no reason to believe it to be related to anything at this moment. The person behind it has complete social media profiles/etc, far more complete than what would be expected for this ARG. When visiting their site, be nice, don’t break things.

CEO Murray?
Hmm, I wonder if theres anyone with the surname Murray working at HG 
Is the bigsound music tech showcase an actual thing you can sign up for?
Because I make-a the music some of a time and if thats one way I can interact with wakingtitan ARG I am all over that!
Actually, nope, I checked it out, this person is legit and a different person. Has social media/etc all over the internet, far too complex to use as a backstop in an ARG like this.
It also seems the Myriad name has been around longer in that context, so my recommendation would be to leave this site for now.
Ah I see now, I scrolled past the Facebook Myriad that @Drakonslayor posted and thought we were still on Myriad-70 discussion.
Also Sean Murray spent most his life in Ireland, Waterford to be specific. Think he worked abroad in Aus for 2 or 3 years though, thats a pretty common thing to do here in Ireland, leave and work/travel on J1’s or what have you, but he more or less went straight to england and started coding for some firm or what have you before going into game design and joining Criterion.
Actually it’s probably reaching the stage now in his life that He’ll have spent most his life in the UK he’s lived/worked there so long now. Maybe Hello Games will move to Ireland if Brexit goes absolutely bonkers and makes things difficult for them

One thing that I found odd is that when sending emails to Myriad-70 addresses, the replies always came back from atlas-65.com addresses. Either whoever is running the emails for the ARG misconfigured the forwarding, or atlas-65 seems to be running Myriad from the shadows.
Not from the shadows. There is another place on Myriad that says “An Atlas Foundation Company”.

Yep, starting to look like Atlas is behind all of these companies. Echo has an “Atlas Network” logo on the homepage. I don’t see any Atlas reference on Multiverse, but they are linked to Echo.
I just noticed Multiverse is written {multiverse} on their website. Anyone know if that has any significance, maybe in a coding language?
In most computer languages, it would mean that “multiverse” (a variable) is the sole element of an array.
That in and on itself would have pretty much no meaning. One could call it an array containing a multiverse, or a multiverse array. Which is well… a possible way to store multiple universes. But I don’t personally see much significance in it from a programming perspective.

So, quick TO-DO list here of unsolved mysteries on this site:
-
The glitched-out image in the second PDF. I strongly believe there is hidden data there that we need to extract. We could really use someone who is familiar with the JPEG format and image data manipulation. Thread was started on it here (probably needs a better title though): https://forums.etarc.org/t/mayriad-70-2nd-pdf-possible-puzzle-to-solve/849/12

The “Mercury Subroutine” was supposed to have three steps, but after we completed the first step it didn’t update to show the next step. Either there was never actually a steps 2 and 3, or we have not yet found out how to trigger it.

Might also add there is a poem on the right side of the search page: http://www.myriad-70.com/?s=random
After Rot13 it’s french, after google translate it’s: https://forums.etarc.org/t/myriad-70-solve-thread/755/73
And yes, it is indeed possible 41 was the correct answer for numerical reasons and as a result, process 2 and 3 won’t run.
It’s not a poem, it is a summarized chapter from the book The Little Prince. But I don’t know that it was used to solve anything. (added to the To-Do list)
And yeah, it’s definitely possible we chose the wrong answer. I felt 41 was the right answer, as it was the only one that didn’t follow the sequence, however it was called the Mercury Subroutine and Mercury’s atomic number is 80, so…hard to say. Do people running the ARGs generally create new puzzles in such a case?

Well, you had a todo list of unsolved mysteries, I believe it should be included. That being said, I have no idea about what purpose it might serve.
As for another puzzle being created, well, I suppose it depends on what it was supposed to do. If it was supposed to send another tape, well, maybe HG really wants them all out there for whatever reason, in which case it’ll be included in another something, but if the reward for solving it was 200 keys (just putting a random number there), then probably there won’t be a replacement, and 80 is all we get.
