RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - GhylTarvoke - 05-29-2015
It seems we've decided, with PathosII's help, that the next login name has something to do with Maelstroms, and the other seven images were red herrings.
I reread "A Descent Into the Maelstrom" and found nothing noteworthy, except that another word for Maelstrom is Moskoe-strom (which didn't work).
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - lucianorimoli - 05-29-2015
What is the boat's name in the story?
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - LordOfDragons - 05-29-2015
Wow. So much happened while i was away ._. Hard to keep up with all the tweets and news.
Someone kind enough to give me a short report of what's new?
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Fake - 05-29-2015
What if we're not looking for a login? I mean we're able to access everything at the moment right? Don't we need to solve a task just like the piping and the zork game? We can't list the pk5 folder so we donøt know what to run, what if the maelstrom name is actually an executable that needs to be run.

Well, where were we when you left?
Wow, I didn't even try to have so many w's in a row.

A new video was released in which a robotic voice says, "We only see a fantasy. Reality is a lie." This turned out to be the password for WAU (login wau weonlyseeafantasyrealityisalie).
Once logged in as WAU, we were able to access the pk5 folder, which contained a scrambled image that was different for everyone. A Photoshop wizard pieced together the image, and now we're trying to figure out what it means. Unfortunately, 4chan is down, so we're the main group working on this.

Tried to run/play/read maelstrom.txt .exe .vid and .snd (and also moskstraumen) to no avail.
Edit: Forgot view maelstrom.img, but no result there either.

I don't think it's named. It's only referred to as "a schooner-rigged smack of about seventy tons burthen". Here's where I read it.

@PathosII so only the maelstrom picture is relevant now.. hmm.. should I "descent into the maelstrom"?
@PathosII 2m2 minutes ago
"As @hanmik01 was busy searching through the garbage cans, something was slowly sneaking up behind him/her. [S]he never saw it coming."
sounds like its a dead end

Tried running descend.exe too, twitter is hinting more and more towards the maelstrom as the center of something. My mind keeps telling me they want to tell us the location of something thats relevant on earth, but the game is in space right?
