OMG! I just noticed I got reposted by the X account. I think ARG will kick off Wednesday along with the new :honeybee: update.

Yes you can see the base phrases and the function to scramble them in the base html.

I still canā€™t quite shake off the similarity between that sculpture and an Autophage.

Hi! Iā€™ve been lurking and am really excited to see where this goes. I participated a little in WT 1&2, donā€™t know too much on how to solve these puzzles but Iā€™ll try regardless :slight_smile:

It might have been stated, but if we are indeed thinking that the unstable memory bloc has the key somehow, itā€™s worth noting that only one line remains untampered with by letter swapping.

ā€œNo wing, no shadow, no trace beneath Juneā€™s lightsā€

I wonder if this being left alone is also a hint in itself.

Yeah, lots of content creators are doing videos about the ARG

For full context, that line originally read ā€œNo wing, no shadow, no trace in the light,ā€ but it has been untouched by the scrambling so far.

1404

And this round of scrambling has come after the architect said,

"Diagnostic: unstable_memory_bloc= key

Priority task: identify corrupted_fragment

Action required: inject_additional_data

Warning: Injection of unvalidated data may significantly increase system instability"

But all of the poem seems to be corrupted except that one line, aside from the one change it made. What would be the corrupted fragment. The first word or line to change? Or the ones that are not changing?

Itā€™s also far from clear to me exactly how weā€™re supposeed to be ā€œinjecting dataā€. As far as I can see, thereā€™s no direct way to communicate with the thing.

Now that I think about it, the image was ā€œcorruptedā€ from the start wasnā€™t it ?

1407

Is it possible that the poemā€™s opening now has misplaced or incorrect letters? Or is it just a result of my mental fatigue?

1408

I think this phase is the ā€œnotice meā€ phase for the ARG to get people involved and grow awareness before kicking things off. We may load up the site in a couple days and something could be there that wasnā€™t.

Thatā€™s my feeling rn anyway

We still have ā€œbirdsā€ and ā€œthe Aprilā€™sā€ not scrambled in the first line and ā€œthe awakenedā€ in the fourth line.

Another thought that popped into my head, is the image that was posted to Reddit a spectogram? Has anyone tried to see what it sounds like?

Or even the one with the poem?

Thatā€™s certainly what Iā€™m hoping. Iā€™m waiting to see a lot more, once we get that door open. But who knows?

There is the sleep mode page which reads system nominal and has a blinking cursor. When you place your pointer over it, it changes to the ( I donā€™t know the term) the typing, input cursor. You just cannot actually type in the field right now

How many instances are there of this? I noticed it on a few pages, maybe one of them we can interact with?

I only know of one. Just add /sleep-mode to the end of the url. I did it on the poem page
