Recall Dreams-command prompts

Architect: why didnt you set the email up?

Ghost: I thought you were supposed to do that!

not sure if this is the proper place for this, but - going off what @ThatBomberBoi said in the meme thread, maybe we’re also supposed to be using these contact spaces to make progress …

Something still isn’t sitting with me right when it comes to narrative. The site says designed by Archie. The “do you know me page” fills out like the developer is Arnaud. But Arnaud is inside tower and system only hears him as a “ghost”.

From what I can tell we still are not communicating directly with tower, just the “one we can see” which is still system.

Architect designed the website, for Arnaud and their new game. Ghost is most likely the fragments of Arnaud that remained in the w/are systems after being pulled from the headset.

Now the current state of Real Arnaud remains somewhat unknown, and its not certain wether Archie knows ghost is not the real Arnaud but their digitized being contacting them.

System seems to be an amalgamation of what remains of Emily and Arnaud and possibly even other dreamers who were on the Myriad Satellite.

Operators contributing memorys etc to system seem to have helped them grow a better sense of self, but a lot of who and what they are remains lost, or as they put it “all that remains is dust”.

Digi-dust in a corrupted brainspace.

Poor guy.

As far I remember, there wasn’t a lot wrong with Arnaud’s body - the problem was that his mind could not be re-integrated with it.

As of the end of Waking Titan, Arnaud’s comatose, but still very much living, body had been transferred at the behest of his sister to a hospital research institute for long-term care. In the absence of further information, we assume it’s still there.

It was never explained what happened to Arnaud’s consciousness. We were only told that it could not be put back in his body. Presumably it remained aboard the Myriad satellite array.

I currently believe that this website is made by System. All of the website is kind of uncanny and ominous. The seemingly AI or stock pictures, the links that don’t really work as you’d expect, the garish McDonalds colors all feel like a fever dream of a website. A sort of hallucination, or electronic dream if you’d allow me to be on the nose.

Building on the Warburg angle, I think it’s not really what it appears to be. Which is to say, it is not really a website for the game developer Arnaud to talk about his game. Rather, it seems to be a ‘panel’ of images, text, clues that is in fact an attempt (counscious our subcounscious) by System to communicate feelings, while also providing an access point to TOWER.

I believe we need to take the entire website as a kind of clue, analyse everything it presents as a kind of contextual prompt into the conditions of System and whatever the TOWER is. Without derailing into my own madness here, I don’t think the Architect (if that even is a real person!) made this website at all. It says he did, that’s all.

This seems to be the closest I can get to a full conversation with the prompts found so far.

System doesn’t seem to be very talkative, yet.

I think the website is the opening_door_protocol mentioned in the Architect’s email of two days ago (coinciding with all this going live, more or less). Yes, System is running it, and it appears to be the “direct channel” referenced – we just don’t know how to use it yet. :wink: Or maybe it’s not even ready to use yet. But for sure I think we’re dealing with unreliable narrators; possible when this all shakes out, we’ve been dealing with one entity all along.

But you’re spot on: there’s a certain uncanny valley vibe I get from the website, and not just from that creepy shadow alien on the Contact Me page.

I think “nice to meet you!” can match for following and as it continues with remembering, “search amnesia” could be good. But I’m stuck in this area too.

That’s new, I tried “search maze” yesterday without result.

like @kerdorin I also tried this combo (along with a million other things, up to & including Take Leaflet From Mailbox) all to no avail. This suggests the “demo” is set to increasingly populate with options over time. Perhaps like the Tower itself…

Operator Solanum (founder of the NMS French Wiki) just sent in a memory bloc addition request talking about the founding day for the wiki, and System almost immediately updated their prime terminal information:

Interestingly, the request didn’t include the 2344 figure, so one of the PMs seems to have gone and done research on them!

I agree with you, it’s all too simplistic. It feels like the thishouseofdreams site or ilovebees or however that Halo one was. Like it’s a window. And the fact we can get into an active comms with TOWER from it through the EoTdemo page shows it’s an access point. I don’t know if the site will degrade and corrupt in the same way that the Myriad affiliate companies did during S2 of Waking Titan, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the more the TOWER “remembers”, the more changes we might see as a result.

Yes it seems to update the terminal with stuff we may have searched in the past.

WT’s whois terminal did something similar. Keeps us on our toes :stuck_out_tongue:

I have had no luck on the terminal in a couple days now beyond what we got so far. I wonder what clues we have left to search. I also wonder if we’re curious about specific timestamps, like the terminal’s “2016_dataset”. Maybe the threads of these old Pathfinder and Atlas Rises builds can be added to the dataset and used to create terminal logs. Or if we’ll see “2017_dataset” sometime.

I did’nt have any result with “2016_dataset_xx/xx/xxxx” thing, even verified ones. And frankly, I won’t spend time to retry everyday because it’s now a “living maze”. Of course I didn’t try all :sweat_smile:
