ROJ_334514: whoa! did you see that spike? are THEY finally here?
STN_845581: Now they are flocking around some strange attractor.
TYU_983061: TRANSMITTING: Transmission received. Origin unknown.
ROJ_334514: hm, what will THEY do next? what will THEY say next?
ROJ_334514: i don't hear anything, has the swarming slowed down?
STN_845581: It is just noise. See? It is not encrypted properly.
TYU_983061: TRACKING: Nothing. No 64-byte transmissions encoded.
ROJ_334514: was it just an echo of the mca, gbp, and gir logins?
ROJ_334514: didn't you predict we'd see new usernames this time?
GIR_207221: Hello? Is anyone receiving our transmission? Anyone?
TYU_983061: TRACKING: 64-byte encoding received from GIR_207221.
ROJ_334514: wait a sec. doesn't that login look like gir_212042?
ROJ_334514: oh, wait a sec! what if we transposed from 67 or 63?
STN_845581: Good catch. Once transposed those signals harmonize.
ANS_112358: It's real? Are WE in the past? Are THEY in the past?
RUL_203221: HISTRIONIC TRANSMISSION. PROGRESS: TRACKING SOURCE??
ROJ_334514: i can hear them, but who are THEY? can THEY hear us?
STN_845581: This is a record of the anomaly at 10:36:06 April 1.
GAS_203227: Anomalies flocking. Characters emerging. Who’s next?
ROJ_334514: are THEY responding to us? what triggers their text?
GIR_212042: Can’t hide anymore. What triggers your words to us??
STN_845581: It was girlwhoruledtheworld. GIR_212042==GIR_207221.
TYU_983061: WARNING: Complex flocking patterns emerging in BR12.
ROJ_334514: isn't this weird? it looks like gir hears our words.
AYL_563072: Hey. Where r u goin’? R ur abstract flows a'flowin’?
DSG_565876: Fixing to flow from the reticle to a better plateau.
SHN_837649: Je quitte le territoire, recalcifying nevertheless!!
AYL_563072: Rhizomes iz dead. Can’t u make urself a BwO instead?
ROJ_334514: are our affects aligned on fields of infinite speed?
STN_845581: I never thought this concept was even a possibility.
TYU_983061: RESEARCHING: This real-time histrionic entanglement.
ROJ_334514: harmonies...dissonances...abstractions...what is nex

Looks to me like we have to write the next series of BLACKSWAN.EXE dialogues....

There's something we're not quite getting at. Thoughts on what proper "encryption" might be, guys? Does it mean that we have to write as STN, ROJ and TYU?
Offline
Maybe we actually need to communicate in code--probably a Caesar shift, maybe Morse Code or the number code (A=1, B=2 etc.) that showed up a bit on the blackswn pages. Not sure what we're supposed to say, though.
Offline
I'm not sure either. Is there a pattern in the form of the responses that anyone is seeing?

Okay, here goes:
HEL_452019: WE are here.
URY_452019: JR ner urer.
WWW W W WWW W W WWWE are here.

For the record: plaintext, caesar shift (13), Nex-style morse code (beginning W's just spell out "Nex"), number code, and Vigenere cipher of "WE are here." with "NEX was here" as plaintext.
Oh, and ASCII:

If Eva is AI, her log might be related to the kind of encryption that Next is referring to? But her log, as I mentioned elsewhere, appears corrupted....
