Yet

#

We accidently stumbled on something we are not meant to see yet

kindred forum
silver sedge
#

Oh well I dont think there is anything to do rn

kindred forum
#

Well. I guess ill just get to see those images later.

#

Oh well.

silver sedge
#

As I have been thinking, this is most likely meant to be an "intermission" phase

#

Of the ARG

#

It just doesn't feel like it becuase we practically skipped half of the first phase

#

Its not meant to have a ton of complicated things, its just meant to bring lore

tawdry veldt
#

But I did something!!!

#

something i wasnt meant to do but i still feel proud

silver sedge
#

They either are privated pages, or something else

#

So we are 100% not meant to have them yet

kindred forum
silver sedge
#

Yeah

#

100% is

full rivet
silver sedge
#

It seems a lot like an intermission that is just meant to do some storybuilding

#

Instead of actually being a puzzle

kindred forum
#

Nothing isnt nothing.

silver sedge
#

This is something

full rivet
silver sedge
#

Yeah

silver sedge
#

Ima also bet that crow is gonna leak the fact that A12 has gone ass up

#

As it really seems like she is trying to figure out why A12 has... Gone ass up

#

With that meeting

full rivet
#

Would the UIU be allowed to do that yet

silver sedge
#

I mean, they raided A12 decently fast after loss of contact

kindred forum
#

And even then. Who said they would listen?

silver sedge
#

Also something funny that I really hopes get changed. The voiceline crow tells you at the start of the A12 raid...

#

"More agents and law enforcement are on the way"

#

Tf are the cops gonna do

silver sedge
#

If a foundation site just magically goes shits fucked, expecially one as contraversial as area-12

#

People would listen to that

vagrant ginkgo
full rivet
#

oh

#

that's interesting

vagrant ginkgo
#

I'm joking if that wasn't clear

But all writing in the game, and the game as a whole and everything in it, is of course not final

#

Those lines at the start, in particular.

indigo drift
#

Oh btw this could have already been said, but the Dr. White in the area-12.org website is mentioned in game with his little audio logs that we find in the offices after we fight to shut off the gas lines in the parking garage. Based on what I can gather from the two logs I've found (labeled 47 and 48), observations from the game as it currently is, and reading stuff linked to the Area-12 dossier that has varying levels of canonicity:

  • the first log was, based on the second audio log, taken some time before the UIU shows up at Area-12, this confirms that Class-D riots and containment breaches have been occurring throughout the day
  • exact cause of the riots and containment breaches unknown but I theorize that either Crius.aic's presence or absence could play a role given SCP-7528's presence
  • due to Protocol: Foundation these issues are only being attended to if they are deemed road blocks for Protocol: Foundation activity within Area-12 given how in SCP-7555 nobody deals with Dr. Toth at the end of the article
  • these breaches and riots clearly helped the first wave UIU operatives to some small extent as SCP-173-C has been a pain in the neck for our captors at the beginning of the game
  • the second audio log talks of non-Foundation elements which is likely us attempting to get into Area-12 and being contained, this implies that this was taken after we were captured
  • Dr. Brown mentions how he is being moved to a new security strong point in Area-12 which to me implies that Area-12 has been in the state we see it in for quite some time only a bit better (frequent or ongoing containment breaches with "bubbles" where the Foundation has stuff locked down)
  • Dr. Brown could is likely somewhat high ranking but his exact rank seems to be unclear (I only hear him mention his full name) but we do know that Dr. Carlisle is still around
  • something clearly happens at the end of the second audio log to the point where it is unclear if Dr. Brown is still alive

EDIT: I CANNOT READ TODAY APPARENTLY, DR. BROWN AND DR. WHITE ARE ENTIRELY TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, SOME OF MY THEORIES I STILL STAND BEHIND BUT AREN'T CONNECTED TO DR. WHITE

#

oh my gosh I can't read nvm

#

that says Brown and I even typed in Brown afterwards

It was a good try

If you look around the area it looks like they left in a hurry

indigo drift
#

I was going to also mention that at the beginning of each page on area-12.org has information about where and potentially who is sending these messages. I'm yet to scan the QR code but some things immediately stick out to me:

  • The word vector may have relations to the Vector Program, completely possible it doesn't and this is simply computer jargon that I am over analyzing, the Vector Program and its related enemies have also been in a strange level of canonicity where they've been described of as not final and potentially not in the final release of the game but besides a name change they haven't been changed that much over time
  • Allusions to SCP-3125 via [PORT 3125] and the timestamp at the end of 00:05:55:55
  • This appears to be one side of a conversation in which the other cannot talk without drawing attention, potentially two ideoforms (Crius.aic and SCP-2528-C-1/SCP-7528?) given that the one talking is reading the lips of the silent one which doesn't make sense to happen within digital error logs
  • Also given that this is happening in error logs, this could just be happening on a Dr. White's computer without his knowledge
  • Some sort of remote agent has been implanted, this could be digital but it could also be a physical person (maybe Dr. Toth?)
  • Too many color related names going on here (Brown, White, Green, Red)
indigo drift

#

They will definitely be in the final game, it's just that the ones we have + the Devastator will be all that there is

indigo drift
# full rivet Vector Program comes from the term biological vector

yeah I picked up as much, interestingly enough, given how we see concepts spread like disease (SCP-3125) I don't think we should completely brush off the usage of the word vector in non-biological settings, but there is a high chance I am overanalyzing it in this case

indigo drift

#

"Test Subjects in the Vector Program include: Vx-026, Vx-349, Vx-984, Vx-173, Vx-159."

026 - Infector
349 - Resonator
984 - Unknown
173 - Likely 173-B/C
159 - Unknown

One of these is likely the Devastator, so we have one other that is unknown, unless 173-C gets a different designation

indigo drift
#

actually there's some stuff I'm noticing which implies that the one talking could be Crius.aic and the one who is silent is SCP-2528-C-1:

  • the formality of speech reads like a digital butler ("I have no record of that", "I'm sorry, I don't know who that is", and "I'm sorry, but you did")
  • the one talking is under surveillance, Crius.aic has the capability to act on its own so the Foundation would want him monitored to some extent
  • the one talking is taking care of and hiding the silent one
  • the one talking has the ability to manipulate Foundation logs to hide information
  • the remote agent could be SCP-7528 either during the initial breach of SCP-7528 or during the UIU's raid on Area-12
  • the morse password is patterns, SCP-2528-C instances are pattern screamers

I mean what if that was before they officially cancelled the agitators

#

I don't know when that was exactly though

willow flame

Hmm true enough

#

I suppose it's just good information to keep track of

edgy vessel

still plugging away huh

indigo drift

I found an error in the page after the QR code

#

CROW invokes Column 1 to consult with the rest of the Protocol Faultline signatories

this is actually Column 4

(I won’t say it as we 100% ain’t meant to know it yet 😭)

full rivet
#

If their ARG is broken because we can find out things before they give us the hints for it that's not our fault

silver sedge
#

No no, it’s not that

full rivet
#

The alternative there is that we are supposed to find it

#

and we're doing nothing

silver sedge
#

I mean I can ask gab if we are meant to know it rn

#

But based on how we found it I doubt it

full rivet
#

Also, if you have it already it's better to share it so they can change it if it's not introduced yet

you found what you found

You already broke the ARG regardless

Well okay then

full rivet

If you even did

silver sedge

There were two more images that had two more words

“Nobody” and “Means”

unless these are passwords for the first thing

What is the name of the image we currently have?

indigo drift
#

you do get SCP-7528 instances on both nobody and means so there's gotta be something in there

I'm pretty sure its possible to get around that pretty easily

Yeah as it is technically a “misformatted” file from a computers perspective

Its more a "folder" of articles that just link to eachother

i heard the 5k articles themselves are a bit controversial

We qualify for a series hub

I imagine it would be better to flesh out the story and extra articles more before trying to push for a hub page.

i mean they do

I mean, crow's informant could be blythe

As we know she used to be the chief of security at A12, as shown by a dave log

But isn't anymore according to the dossier

silver sedge

Nothing says she is

She communicates with the UIU agent at the very start of the game though

@vagrant ginkgo

Also question...

Did blythe get the name change treatment? As there are two blythes both listed as the head of security in two different articles.

Refering to souther, who "magically" went missing after that riot

this is something

but maybe not always

those are the stakes
but who are the players?

thief
but you think outside the box
and the box sees you

thief
your thoughts are wandering
every meaning has a mind

what would that even
mean

silver sedge

I mean if you think about it this way;

a = nobody
b = means
c = nothing
N = else

#

So put it in that order

willow flame

nobody, and means don't exist, there for the next setp in the oder would be nothing, then else

#

Lemme just take a minute to think

#

Nothing
Else
Nobody Means Nothing
Nobody Nothing Means
Nothing Means Nobody
Nothing Nobody Means
Nothing Else
Else Nothing

nothing isn't nothing

nothing isn't nothing - Everything is something, as such nothing cannot exist.
this is something - Proving the above statement
but not yet the whole - I don't really know, could be referring to the fact that this something, isn't the whole to this poem/riddle

for now - isn't whole
but maybe not always - but might be whole one day

grey cells betray - No idea about this part
unseen and lost
yet still...

those are the stakes
but who are the players? - a question to us, most likely telling us what we are looking for

(The thief ones I have no idea)

thief
your thoughts are wandering
every meaning has a mind

thief
but your eyes are open
you will go far

thief
but you think outside the box

I do think that is the order though, it makes the most sense

There are a lot of possibilities, we either need more input from other people to see if we can find common ground, or wait.

silver sedge

For it's order, yeah I believe that is the best option

#

But it feels like each of the stanzas is a seperate idea

#

Yeah nevermind

They really dont

But yeah, this might be one of those just wait for something to happen things

We most likely have to wait for new things to appear, or we have to figure out HOW we are intended to get images a and b

any clue on who the "Thief" is?

As I think this is built in a way that makes us doing this, cheating the system and finding the images before we are meant to, useless

so we may have to wait for more interchanges

To be honest, something that does sit wonky with me

Why is the FIRST IMAGE we got, image c?

That makes it sound like A and B were meant to come before that error in the first signatory page

kindred forum
silver sedge
#

I dont think abc do

#

The only issue I have, is if we were meant to get a and b another way

#

It would HAVE to be the error log

#

Which means we have to get a new page from the error log, as we won't be getting access to those sandboxes from the wiki articles it hints at

im all to happy try checking some more possibilities for URLs on the error logs. ill get to brainstorming them
