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 weâre also supposed to be using these contact spaces to make progress âŚ
Something still isnât sitting with me right when it comes to narrative. The site says designed by Archie. The âdo you know me pageâ fills out like the developer is Arnaud. But Arnaud is inside tower and system only hears him as a âghostâ.
From what I can tell we still are not communicating directly with tower, just the âone we can seeâ 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 âall that remains is dustâ.
Digi-dust in a corrupted brainspace.
Poor guy.
As far I remember, there wasnât a lot wrong with Arnaudâs body - the problem was that his mind could not be re-integrated with it.
As of the end of Waking Titan, Arnaudâs 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 itâs still there.
It was never explained what happened to Arnaudâs consciousness. We were only told that it could not be put back in his body. Presumably it remained aboard the Myriad satellite array.
i think the bird is a sparrow? but the tailâs too long
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 donât really work as youâd expect, the garish McDonalds colors all feel like a fever dream of a website. A sort of hallucination, or electronic dream if youâd allow me to be on the nose.
Building on the Warburg angle, I think itâs 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 âpanelâ 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 donât think the Architect (if that even is a real person!) made this website at all. It says he did, thatâs all.
This seems to be the closest I can get to a full conversation with the prompts found so far.
System doesnât seem to be very talkative, yet.
I think the website is the opening_door_protocol mentioned in the Architectâs 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 âdirect channelâ referenced â we just donât know how to use it yet.
Or maybe itâs not even ready to use yet. But for sure I think weâre dealing with unreliable narrators; possible when this all shakes out, weâve been dealing with one entity all along.
But youâre spot on: thereâs 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 ânice to meet you!â can match for following and as it continues with remembering, âsearch amnesiaâ could be good. But Iâm stuck in this area too.
Thatâs new, I tried âsearch mazeâ 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 âdemoâ is set to increasingly populate with options over time. Perhaps like the Tower itselfâŚ
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 didnât include the 2344 figure, so one of the PMs seems to have gone and done research on them!
I agree with you, itâs all too simplistic. It feels like the thishouseofdreams site or ilovebees or however that Halo one was. Like itâs a window. And the fact we can get into an active comms with TOWER from it through the EoTdemo page shows itâs an access point. I donât 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 wouldnât surprise me if the more the TOWER âremembersâ, 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.
WTâs whois terminal did something similar. Keeps us on our toes ![]()
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 weâre curious about specific timestamps, like the terminalâs â2016_datasetâ. 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 weâll see â2017_datasetâ sometime.
I didânt have any result with â2016_dataset_xx/xx/xxxxâ thing, even verified ones. And frankly, I wonât spend time to retry everyday because itâs now a âliving mazeâ. Of course I didnât try all ![]()
