System Glitch

I believe @BenR lost a good portion of his life force looking into this before with no dice.

Ah yes, the Minotaur.

The structure was designed by Daedalus
that famous architect
appearances were all confused;
he led the eye astray
by mazy multitude of winding ways
so Daedalus
in countless corridors
built bafflement
and hardly could himself
make his way out
so puzzling was the maze.

Within this labyrinth
Minos shut fast the beast
half bull, half man,
and fed him twice on attic blood
lot-chosen each nine years
until the third choice mastered him.

And the door
which not of those before could find again
by Ariadne’s aid
was found
the thread that traced the way
rewound.

Each character, assuming black = 0 and blue =1

I pasted into Discord first 5 or 6.

On PC I have half done- busy atm tho. Every number equaled an even memory number… first was exactly 16k, others are 256, 512, 2048

one was like 17,413 or weirdness. It’s in my message on Discord from last night

with smaller numbers appearing on multiple letters

@NeoterraCollective found a new result on the terminal for the status command.

It’s the same number Rusty got, the ISBN.

Discord user Esoluu pointed out that it also contains the number 53.

More nods to our Dots puzzle.

In the theme of not overthinking I went very basic and came up with this

We just spent the evening saving dates, or well vector did in the wee hours of their morning, so this was alerting us to the virus/Sub-Program that was deleting memories on System.

Pretty cool that the image had two solves

DATA NEEDS TO BE SAFE

&

Save the Date

Both describing what needed to be done.

Stupid thing is I was sitting on both of these most of the day pondering “OK, but what dates and why?” lol

Yeah, was reading to catch up after work and was playing around with the number of dots per row, etc, then squinted at the grid and thought I have a go joining dots, when i saw that I though it was funny so posted it

I wondered a while back if we would lose the dates that did not have memories anchored to them, and if that might impact future clues, events. No idea if any dates in particular are important though.

Nailed in one, as a joke. Legendary!

So this was System screaming for help and no one noticed? I tried looking up the various things stated in that image and it did not sound good…shame on us

I’m back from dinner/domestics now, does it need posting somewhere or was it just a clue for us to find?

It seems like your solve was correct, but far too late :sweat_smile:
Archie wanted us to get this message from System before today’s corruptions went down, going by this email.

Ah, sorry I had to go to bed and then get up for work, so only popped on to catch up after work.

Oh no no, don’t be! You’re the only person who managed to solve it, no matter how late, so don’t worry about it!
Its clear we all collectively missed out on a lot of clues and nudges together, and that lead to this pretty catastrophic event going worse than it could’ve, but this is a lesson for the future to throw out all avenues of exploration and apply every skill set we can to a puzzle! More collaboration for whatever the future holds should hopefullly prevent this from happening again :sweat_smile:
