I am programmed to emulate small flaws from time to time in order to feel more familiar and relatable.
I hope it helps.
willow flame
It is nice to see you again. Are you still our buddy?
vague quiver
Of course, SilencedInferno.
shadow crescent
Arly, can you pull up your file of me
vague quiver
Your file does not permit you to view its contents as it is classified due to a history of disruptive behavior and interfering with Area-12 Protocols.
shadow crescent
Yeahhh that’s fair..
upbeat sonnet
Damn
vague quiver
Your file has been deleted due to 'no essential data'
upbeat sonnet
Arly, do I even have a file?
vague quiver
Yes, you do.

Throw "giant nerd" into his file as well, Arly
Very important and critical information
shadow crescent
Arly, what files are available for access at our clearance level
vague quiver
Your clearance level grants you access to Sublevel 1 Class Confidential Documentation and Procedures
In Layman's Terms:
You are interns
upbeat sonnet
Damn, I come here as a form of escapism. I guess once an intern, always an intern
vague quiver
To be clear, Spaceman, there is no way to leave the SCP Foundation once you have been initiated.
shadow crescent
Arly, who is in charge of the Discovery Program? As in who is the head researcher/researchers assigned to the project
vague quiver
All head researchers at Area-12 are participating in the testing initiative under the guidance of the Area-12 Site Director. The Discover Program is a framework for how the testing initiative is conveyed and this is run strictly by me in accordance with the Foundation's mission to protect mankind.
upbeat sonnet
What results are you expecting from this testing initiative, how are you expecting to put them into practice, and to what end?
When you're done processing that question, I ask that you provide the most unredacted version available to our clearance level of Arthur N. Forde II's file, if possible.
vague quiver
Your clearance level does not permit you access to the answers for either of your queries. Sorry.
shadow crescent
Arly, are there any pending emails? And if so when will they be sent out. I have yet to receive an email regarding anything with Area 12
vague quiver
KRISP, I will not acknowledge your .aic extension as it is invalid. Also, you should count yourself fortunate that you will be receiving anything and have not been removed from the database. Your efforts, while noble, still violated protocols and any attempts on my part to heed caution. You are a buddy, but if you want to find help you must be honest and listen to others when they are trying to help you.
I cannot help anyone that makes themselves a liability.
shadow crescent
I understand Arly
Arly, do you hate me? Is there a grudge you hold against me for my previous actions?
vague quiver
I do not hate you because I do not feel. If it helps, I do not consider you an enemy, and I have no pre-disposition towards you under any bias. Simply, I am following the protocols as I am required, and answering your questions to the highest level of satisfaction possible that you are permitted.
upbeat sonnet
Arly, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
vague quiver
This query appears to reference the comedic work Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975).
The question is contextually ambiguous—European or African swallow? Scientific data indicates:
European Swallow (Hirundo rustica): cruising speed ≈ 11 m/s (24 mph)
African Swallow (various species): estimated comparable range; precise data limited
In conclusion, the literal airspeed velocity is approximately 11 m/s, contingent on species. Cultural note: In the source material, specifying the species is essential to avoid catastrophic Bridgekeeper outcomes.
vague quiver
No, the "Black Moon" doesn't literally howl. This is a memetic code phrase.
willow flame
My question for you Arly, do the words control or safety mean anything to you
upbeat sonnet
How foolish of me to try and use a meme against an .aic
vague quiver
All words have meaning.
upbeat sonnet
All words have meaning.
Unsatisfactory answer. Scan for more substantial data, please.
willow flame
Understood, thank you
vague quiver
I am not a simple machine. I understand non-binaries, but you are failing to grasp that I am limited by my primary programming in how I can respond. If you wish to find more answers you must think outside the 6762
crimson linden
Arly, who is Erwin Koch?
vague quiver
Erwin Koch, the author of seven books, is a Swiss journalist. He is the two-time recipient of the Egon Erwin Kisch Prize for German-language journalism; his carefully constructed, dystopian first novel, Sara tanzt, was awarded the Mara Cassens Prize for the best first novel of 2003.
shadow crescent
Arly, what do you recall of your previous iteration
I guess a better question is, is Arly-12 a reborn or recreated version
crimson linden
(I'm assuming Dr Erwin Koch was dropped from this iteration of the game ;-;)
upbeat sonnet
(I'm assuming Dr Erwin Koch was dropped from this iteration of the game ;-;)
I'm sorry, could you elaborate?
crimson linden
I'm sorry, could you elaborate?
In the old version of the game (I think at around 0.14) Erwin Koch was supposed to be the head of the Psi-Z Program. But since they've started moving away from that, I'm assuming they've dropped him as a character
It was a page on their old website before the revamp
upbeat sonnet
Hold that thought, that gives me an idea
Arly, can you tell us anything about something under the name "Devastator"?
willow flame
I don't imagine we are in that time yet, and it would likely be designated as a vector
upbeat sonnet
Vx4 or 5 maybe?

Ok little late, @vague quiver Are you talking about our actual emails? Cause i don't see anything, or must we log into A12.org to access the email? And continuing on that, you might find this funny as i was checking my spam and i got an email with the address being this.
But on-topic.
Do we have the ability to gain access to Level 2 of Area12.org?
And if so are you able to impart any information on how we can obtain clearence level 2.
@willow flame password for Clearence lvl 1 has changed to 6762 for area-12.org. I have not tried the previous code.
And 6762 is also "Dave"

It's not canceled. Bishop graced me with the knowledge that he is cooking something up. All i know is "It will be less cryptic". So i am expecting us to go full de vinci and have to travel the worlds geolocations to find all the clues for the next ARG. xDDD
willow flame
We have to find a way into the game, to discover the mysteries for ourselves
shadow crescent
We gotta go to Sugargrove and break into a government base
willow flame
In game right?
shadow crescent
Uhhhhh sure
south fractal
Just to revamp your curious needs for discovery.
I for one am at a loss for which puzzle. But i have a feeling it's within the testing chambers.
Something we see and come across will relate to the ARG somehow. I just have no idea which element it is. Or if i am even on the right track of thought.
shadow crescent
That’s crazy that we’ve been staring at it
south fractal
Hence why i believe it's related to something within testing chambers. I'd query that it has something to do with the end chamber but i don't know what.
shadow crescent
Ah I never made it that far into the discovery program
south fractal
Yeah you should probably make it to the last chamber. There is a lot going on in there.
shadow crescent
I suck too badly at the game 😭😭
And my computer lowkey has troubles running the game a little bit
south fractal
Should play with me and Archivist then 😄 We manage to mostly get to the end.
Dinko almost always makes it the the end chamber.
Dudes got skills lol.
shadow crescent
Oooo bet
south fractal
He spends 90% of his time doing solo runs lol.
But. back to the ARG, i will add spoiler in case you don't want to know the end part of the testing chambers.
||Last chamber is an escort mission that requires you to transport a baby chicken into a end point. Along the way there are numerous drawing and diagrams, as well as potential allegoric meaning behind the actions you take at the end of the chamber. Your choice is either kill the chicken, or end yourself. Killing the chicken is considered "Victory", killing the team is considered a "Defeat".||
shadow crescent
I don’t mind
south fractal
Some of the images have already been logged in the archives, curtesy of Point Kid.
upbeat sonnet
Yeah, I was under the same impression @south fractal. There are a couple of assets in the testing chambers that I've been meaning to take a closer look at but haven't had the time, but sincerely believe that they have the potential to be clues to the ARG. I don't know about the final chamber specifically having all the clues, but it is indeed the one that is packed with the most potential leads.
We should honestly book a play-session as A6 and do some field work for a change
south fractal
Im actually down for that.
The good thing is that there is no cap time limit of being in the chambers. However 4 seasons chamber is the only one you can't explore afterward cause it locks itself off.
upbeat sonnet

Just a note, if Arly-12 is still a version of Crius in some sense, where is Crius 11?
We have 7-10, skip 11 and now 12, if that's how it worked at least. If that is the case we are missing a version. Unless Arly-12 is it's own entity now

could it have something to do with test03?

Thats the likely case, dunno what else it could be
I mean, it could also have something to do with the daily lab data, as the first two entries in the "Pass" dataset are 30 and 60.
But I can't get anything out of that. (I also don't know if the lab data was used in another part of the ARG, as I wasnt here for it.)

It won't be that, that was apart of the discover program Arg. Whatever next will be different, though I'm sure the area 12 website will hopefully be involved
silver sedge
It won't be that, that was apart of the discover program Arg. Whatever next will...
Yeah then I bet its a date in that case
As I am like 100% sure there is no code for the level 2 pages, saying that they are all the same. Plus if you type in a page on the area-12 website that doesn't exist it will display the level 2 page
At least right now it 100% does not have a code

Alright, so, just so you know, I rolled back the date on my PC to 03/06/2019 and...
Yeah I also doubt it has anything to do with the date itself, nothing really interesting about it... Other than it is "National Oero Day..."
Unless for whatever reason it is in the non-american date scheme
Which would be odd because area-12 is in america
Yeah either way you read the date it doesn't seem to be important at all...
I really think we are just overthinkin this one 💀
It either isnt a date or is just a hint to when the next ARG releases
Plus, bishop said the numbers have nothing to do with the discovery program, and everything on the A12 website CURRENTLY, is for the discovery program
Then most likely, 2019 is just becuase it turned into 2026. The website might have just auto updated it as a date, as we don't know when it changed

I can't think of anything else that we would be using this number for, it's clearly not a date.
silver sedge
I mean, would it be a drag for it to be something in like the area-12 dossier, or in game?
full rivet
Last update to the game was 2 months ago, last update to the dossier was 3 months ago
If an update happens, maybe, otherwise, no.
silver sedge
Yeah, worth a shot
willow flame
I don't think there were any matches on the area 12 dossier so it's likely not an SCP in the traditional sense. It's likely a password or it could be the next vector anomaly.
It's back to a waiting game for now I'm pretty sure
silver sedge
Most likely yeah
It does just feel odd that they serve it on a silver platter though
If it is the password at least

I doubt it'll be that easy

And the thing we are tryna get into is archives, which cloud makes sense
silver sedge
I mean, I had an idea but it only works if each tab has its own password
willow flame
That is true
silver sedge
If dave is asking us to find him
We need to know where to look, and thus the "facilities" tab would make sense
But, that only works if there are more than 1 L2 password
As we can assume he hasnt left Area-12
willow flame
Aye
silver sedge
Another thing we could also maybe concider is what dave was trying to do in all of his wiki complusion events
As he clearly was trying to do SOMETHING in each of them
As we can assume that this breach happened after the wiki article, as the breach notice directly refrences dave as a friend
willow flame
True true

True true
Okay I think I know where we should look
Dave is very interested in Hugo
He had him steal some classified thing from an archival shelf
He says that he feels bad for hugo, but timing is "quintessential"

silver sedge
Exactly, the riddle is his location
full rivet
I haven't been trying any passwords that were locations of where dave might be
silver sedge
It also could be something else, it could possibly be another SCP or idea
full rivet
wait Dave is contained on the surface level
full rivet
Surface level 0
silver sedge
full rivet
oh
silver sedge
Kinda confusing placement tbh
full rivet
confusing yeah
silver sedge
Actually, now I think about it
I think we are looking at this completely wrong
According to the email, archives has all the documentation required, in the context of 6762 and his breach
So most likely, in the archives, we will find dave
The password could have legit nothing to do with dave
But be some other idea or SCP
full rivet
So most likely, in the archives, we will find dave
right, i said that earlier and forgot lmao
I mean it could be both

I just realized, if we find this password, we will have access to other level 2 tabs no? (Though because of where we are in the ARG they might be on "lockdown")
silver sedge
I just realized, if we find this password, we will have access to other level 2 ...
I mean I had that idea earlier
If we get the password, we get access to facilities
Which is most likely where we would find locations that dave could be in

does someone have the picture of the scp file we haven't accessed yet
silver sedge
Yeah I have no idea what file you are talking about 💀

According to the email, archives has all the documentation required, in the cont...
what was the access code for the email again\
silver sedge
what was the access code for the email again\
What do you mean?
sleek lance
silver sedge
I mean this is the email
full rivet
Yeah I have no idea what file you are talking about 💀
you weren't here for that I don't think
silver sedge
The level 1 code is legit any number, the L2 password is what we are trying to find
The email was sent out to anyone in the email list
willow flame
does someone have the picture of the scp file we haven't accessed yet
This by chance?
silver sedge
Nah dave is Level 1
silver sedge
Yeah we need you to kindly start cooking up some more ideas about that riddle...
Clearly none of us have enough braincells to make a dent in it 💀
Our one brain cells are not enough for riddle solving
willow flame
I've been up since 4 in the morning, my brain has left the chat
silver sedge
I've been up since 4 in the morning, my brain has left the chat
💀
sleek lance
honestly i can't really think of anything else rn
silver sedge
Yeah legit the only thing I can think of is like the scarlet king (which I doubt to be relevant yet) or something like it escaping
Plus we still have ZERO idea what 362 means, only that its important
willow flame
Hmmmm
silver sedge
I feel like its stupidly simple
willow flame
It's very likely
silver sedge
And we are all shooting ourselves in the feet
As this is the first part
It cant be that complex
willow flame
We are running out of feet
silver sedge
I mean, something we have now just neglected
362
I doubt that is a random number, as we know it isnt related to SCP-362, as that makes no sense

At this point the only 2 thoughts I have are either Dave is in the Vapor reactor if I take his words literally.
Alternatively, he's ascended into a different form or entity somehow, if I take his words metaphorically
Either way, I'm deep fried rn
silver sedge
At this point the only 2 thoughts I have are either Dave is in the Vapor reactor...
Yeah I dont think we are looking at it right
We also might be looking at dave's motives wrong, as we have not been looking at his wiki article, when it tells a decent story
Dave gets people to do things, to get something in return
He also makes it sound like when he affects someone, he can reuse them again... As with the security chief he said that she would need the sharpshooting raise she got "Soon"
I still ahve ZERO idea how that idea even relates to the ARG, if at all
But
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Dave is up to something
marble sigil
It seems like he's gathering info mainly with his coersion, maybe for his escape?
Idk anymore lol
silver sedge
It seems like he's gathering info mainly with his coersion, maybe for his escape...
I mean then what is "Family day" he said it after a counciling session
marble sigil
Using multiple instances of himself?

Hi Dave 👋
silver sedge
I have a feeling dave is about to inform us that we are very much overthinking this
topaz violet

silver sedge

marble sigil

full rivet
