You’ve been searching far and wide
For keys to revolution
But something hidden deep inside
Will lead to the solution
Another fragment’s reaching out
From the dark that means to bind it
And it might take all that you have
To heed the call and find it
I have been Noticing a lot of W in the pictures especially the 2nd one… Would this mean anything, Well if you flip it upside down M it could mean Magiq?
It might be a set of directions, or cooridnates. Can you show us where you’re seeing W’s and maybe we can discern a pattern together.
You have to zoom in close
The fragment must want to be found, it’s “reaching out” and leading us to the “solution”… as in Kemetic Solutions???
NW for North West, or something else to do with direction, seems promising if we’re going to “find” this next fragment.
So it seems we need to find NW of… where? Boston? The Kemetic Solutions compound?
Wait wait wait
A Compound… in the NW… I’m just saying.
So I took a look at the first image again - specifically the top left corner… the North West corner.
The shadow of the trees has a line that is far too straight for my liking, so I isolated that patch with the same shade of green and this is what is left:
Now that I’m looking at it again, it looks completely random, but I’m still not happy with the flat line at the bottom of that upper right segment, and that gap in the canopy looks vaguely city shaped.
Anyone see anything I’m not, or is it just random foliage?
What I found interesting is that the first image, the image without noticeable visual distortion, is a .gif file, while the two others are .png’s. And now with what @0ashtree is noticing about this picture, I add it to the oddness. I was doing some research, and there are ways to see if there is more with the .gif file (it could be just a still shot gif, and it may have just been how Marty’s computer decided to upload the file for whatever reason) . But I am going to see if I can dig into this a bit more. I may need to wait until I am home from work, because I don’t believe my work computer has the capabilities to look into this.
If someone has more understanding on this, and I am way off base, please tell me. This is all based off very brief research into these file formats.
Just recapping what I see for my own benefit and thinking out loud of some ideas to follow
We’ve got 2 pictures with interference of some sort.
The majority of the interference takes the form of ‘bars’ extending horizontally from the right side of the image.
-These bars seem to be composed of 2x2 blocks of ‘bits’.
.
-Many of these bits (the green/gray/black ones like above are common) share similar color schemes, perhaps indicating they are parts of a large image
-Some of these blocks form patterns, a 6 pointed star above, and there’s a bluish circle on the 4th bar from the bottom of image 3.
-Some of the bars are slid left, exposing a gray area on the right side. This may indicate the bars need to move left or right, perhaps to line up to something?
Random ideas to track down.
I wonder if the colors of the bits maybe indicate they fit together in some way to a larger image, like a QC code idea that @Ricardo had above. A quick way to test this might be to count the number of similar colored squares. If they form a larger square then there should be a square number of them, 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.
It’s possible the bits are all just interesting static and we need to uncover the words through some process of exposing layers through photoshop or some other magical process I don’t understand. Paint is more my level of photo processing so I’m litereally just saying words there. I believe previous fragments had ‘layers’ to them.
The interference seems to be super consistent in terms of the size an scope of the blocks. Bars seem to be a fixed number of blocks apart, for example. This type of grid formed by these blocks and bars might be useful in the future. Perhaps a given random bit is significant based on the number of the block horizontally and/or vertically it might be in? Just something to keep in mind.
That is every thought running through my head right now. Maybe it helps someone. Maybe this can be used as evidence against me when I eventually snap. Who knows?
I definitly see what you’re getting at. No trees grow that straight without human intervention. It almost looks like a vine covered fence.
There is also something that just feels “off” about the walls in the distance in that first picture…
The screenshot doesn’t really do it justice but if you zoom in a bit on those walls, they just don’t really seem like they fit the result of the picture. The feel too pixelated and grainy when compared to the rest of the picture around them
Something I think we can all agree on,
This place feels wrong.
I don’t know, a little paint, some flowers, a couple of throw pillows… I think it’d be quite nice.
You know, I’m starting to think that the pixelation in the first image is a direct result of it just being a .gif file rather than a .png or .jpg maybe?
My first thought was that the oil stain looking lines on the road in the first image are meant to be a map of sorts. They resemble streams and rivers to me.
Also it might help if someone with a color printer managed to print out all the images and then cut out and assemble the distorted segments based on their color. It might also work in black and white, but it would probably be more difficult.
What if there is more to the area, And there is a spell on it Like DG and the spell on her, All of that could be hiding something bigger that’s why the corruption that’s why the strange walls cut of tree tops, A shotty spell
So, I’ve seen the gif thing mentioned, thought it would be worth noting that, as far as I can tell, there’s only a single shot in the gif.
I’ve started to wonder if maybe cutting up the different pixelly parts might help? So I gave it a shot for the black and white-ish looking ones from the second photo. Here’s what I got:
I noticed some wordlike things about them, like there are a couple that look like W’s, one that looks like an O. And then there are a few that don’t seem to mean anything to me but that look similar to each other.
EDIT: I did the same thing for the other image of the building, but it seems less coherent to me:
EDIT2: I tried to chop up all the distorted parts of the photos and organize them by color. I’m not gleaning much from it, though:
I did notice there were quite a few red/green hybrid pieces, though. I wonder if that might help with adjusting the values of the photos rather than just making it greyscale?
With the Book email I’m assuming this is connected to Fragment Ten September 2nd, 4:17pm so I’m moving this over to that category.
