At 03:24 on 2021-12-05, the Alice & Smith (A&S) Twitter account [https://twitter.com/aliceandsmith/status/1467333935457841154 tweeted] "WARNING - DSCS III A3 access has been authorized. Good Luck and Godspeed." with a link to the A&S Discord.
 +
 +
This was followed up at 17:05 with a [https://twitter.com/aliceandsmith/status/1467540607790899216 second tweet] stating "UPDATES | Dec 5th | - DSCS III A3 IRC TOR uplink and RTMP FEED updated to version 636f-rev1.". The referance to an RTMP feed led players to a Twitch stream titled HELIOS Task Force on the [https://www.twitch.tv/DSCS_III_A3 dscs_iii_a3 channel].
 +
 +
The stream contained an interactive terminal which users could enter commands into and get responses from. The initial terminal upon loading the stream was:
 +
<pre>
 +
Setting hostid: 636f-rev1...
 +
Entropy harvesting: interrupt ethernet
 +
Fast boot: skipping disk checks
 +
Mounting remote file systems
 +
Starting network: DVB-TEXT DSCS-III-A3
 +
Uplink Parameters: 7600 mhz - 7604 mhz

 +
Manual: www.intelink.sgov.gov/wiki-ts/cmd-636f
 +
Starting background file system check in 60 seconds
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Clicking on the icon to the right of the stream for the Helios terminal popped up a Twitch window describing it. This included a note saying that the command HELP should be used to start. Entering this into the terminal resulted in:
 +
<pre>
 +
Available commands:

  <ACCESS DENIED>
 +
  <ACCESS DENIED>
 +
  <ACCESS DENIED>
 +
Enter ‘help <command>’ for more information
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Typing in help version and help coredump resulted in the following:

 +
Displays the version details for DSCS_III_A3
 +

help coredump
 +
Command help for: coredump
 +
Output a module's memory state
 +
Enter ‘coredump <module>’ to execute
 +

 +
 +
Players then ran the version command, which gave them a hexadecimal code output.

Day 1

At 03:24 on 2021-12-05, the Alice & Smith (A&S) Twitter account tweeted "WARNING - DSCS III A3 access has been authorized. Good Luck and Godspeed." with a link to the A&S Discord.

This was followed up at 17:05 with a second tweet stating "UPDATES | Dec 5th | - DSCS III A3 IRC TOR uplink and RTMP FEED updated to version 636f-rev1.". The referance to an RTMP feed led players to a Twitch stream titled HELIOS Task Force on the dscs_iii_a3 channel.

The stream contained an interactive terminal which users could enter commands into and get responses from. The initial terminal upon loading the stream was: 

Setting hostid: 636f-rev1...
Entropy harvesting: interrupt ethernet
Fast boot: skipping disk checks
Mounting remote file systems
Starting network: DVB-TEXT DSCS-III-A3
Uplink Parameters: 7600 mhz - 7604 mhz
Additional TCP/IP options: .sgov=1
Starting IRC TOR PID
Manual: www.intelink.sgov.gov/wiki-ts/cmd-636f
Starting background file system check in 60 seconds

Clicking on the icon to the right of the stream for the Helios terminal popped up a Twitch window describing it. This included a note saying that the command HELP should be used to start. Entering this into the terminal resulted in: 

Available commands:
  version
  coredump
  help
  <ACCESS DENIED>
  <ACCESS DENIED>
  <ACCESS DENIED>
Enter ‘help <command>’ for more information

Typing in help version and help coredump resulted in the following: 

help version
Command help for: version
Displays the version details for DSCS_III_A3

help coredump
Command help for: coredump
Output a module's memory state
Enter ‘coredump <module>’ to execute

Players then ran the version command, which gave them a hexadecimal code output. 

DSCS_III_A3 Version
63 6f 6d 6d 61 6e 64
20 27 71 75 65 72 79
27 20 73 75 70 70 6f
72 74 20 3d 20 31 00

Converting the hexadecimal code to text produced the message command 'query' support = 1. This new command could be confirmed by typing in help query 

Command help for: query
Displays data relating to query subject
Enter ‘query <module>’ to check for system status
Latest system inventory: chks1029

By querying the latest system inventory noted on the last line of the output, players received info regarding several key systems:
