Oh wow lots of things have been happening while I was away from the computer
I don’t have anything to add yet, but this has been really cool to follow

Thanks, Pixy!

Open invitation to any dedicated/knowledgeable ETARCers who want to contribute/improve the documentation. Try and steer clear of speculation is my only ask, stick with the facts of the events themselves.

[MounTheRainbow]

I’m just noting this, but much like ETARC is in all caps, is it possible SYSTEM is the same? It’s an acronym?

Super Yummy Sustenance Time Every Morning

breakfast confirmed

[toddumptious]

Okay but what about second breakfast? Can we get a confirmation on that? I really want it…

[MounTheRainbow]

Also, not sure how meta the arg is trying to get with things, but an additional thought, do we know where the book was published and if there’s any schools in the area?

I’m not sure how it works internationally, but I believe schools in the US have a code that identifies the school.

For example the college I attend, Unity Environmental University has a school code of 006858.

The reason I ask is school code might involve the name of a school? I’m not really sure where the thought was headed lol

[AdaRynin]

There was a photo from which we found the Vigenère cipher they used in school, that’s what they meant.

Just a reminder, in french, “tower” can be a building, but also a PC Case or central unit (unité centrale ou “tour PC”). So who is inside this “tower” ? We can’t see numerical beings

[Klarac]

Maybe the riddle means that we can see the building, but not the PC housed in its server room
(joke… kinda)

[toddumptious]

Not the one in the tower… but maybe we can see the zero 01001100 01001111 01001100

We need the password. System won’t let me enter the TOWER but you can access it.
I know you will be able to read this message. This is not a game.

[DetectiveGamerTreg]

i just got the same email!

[DetectiveGamerTreg]

from the architect i mean

EDIT: also how does the “school code” work?

[DetectiveGamerTreg]

so where do we go from here? do we still need to wait for more info?

[AlexWinter]

There’s a new mail but the substitution don’t seem to work

[AlexWinter]

Found it “LA PORTE EST OUVERTE.” THE DOOR IS OPEN

[DevilinPixy]

Any way you could show us?

[AlexWinter]

Instead of using the simple substitution I tried the reciprocal alphabet, since the Architect know what we’re doing I thought he might have made a change to his high school code

About Inbox – project-skyscraper I can say that the last message with the text “Lf pwkyh hry wuohkyh.” Means >“An anomaly and another.”
