Hidden text in the warning message

"code: b:0x40
log: RFC 48 80

Refer to source for further information."

So far the only things I've found in the source that look odd are hidden comments that say:

"Preparing system lockdown ..."

No more teasers for a while?

**Cuyir** · 10-07-2013, 01:16 PM

The theory of the Machine creating ''copies'' of people is looking solid at first glance.

....Orrrr maybe the Machine is driving other technology ''insane''.

@Sampyli: Don't think so. I think that warning means that the Machine is trying to communicate. To get ''through'' the Soma website. Think next update will be a bit more...jarring.

It looks like we need to work for the next update. I'll post this again as people seem to be ignoring it:

Wohooo finally something to really ponder about and decypher Big Grin

It seems now the arg really begins Big Grin

Btw, anyone can translate the Chinese in the bottom left ?

Newest teaser live action trailer is very interesting. I'm too tired to write more on it. It's my bedtime. Will probably have lots to read when I get up.

Very very cool video indeed. The machine sort of has this 'Golaski' dude's mind .. so the question is, how did it get it?

**Blackrobin** · 10-07-2013, 01:31 PM

The Chinese translate to a Chinese proverb "the sky is high and the emperor is far away". Meaning that the central authority (i.e. emperor) have little influence to what we're doing here.

It talks of a machine cannibalizing another. Maybe the THE Machine ''created'' a copy of someone and gave it to a robot? Which brought some competition and jealousy?

Or maybe it wasn't given, just accessed from The Machine.
