This page is being updated as the ARG unfolds

On March 22, 2017, a GD member discovered a tumblr page called "TheConsole." It contains many different entries about strange materials, and SCP-like entities.

CLASSIFIED

One of the most recent posts contains:

ytwx://pnuxvblv.cbo/5I14xiOD

Encrypted file found and reformatted.
Cipher in place.

This was found to be encoded with Vigenere, with a password of "radiance," revealing a pastebin link. The contents of this were found to also be encoded with Vigenere with the same key:

Project Radiance: Previous studies of AETHER have shown that it is capable of manipulating matter. Hypothetically, it could be used to create a “door” to a different point in space.
Subject: Mouse
Status: Dead
Cause: Lethal AETHER intensity
 
Subject: Mouse
Status: Dead
Cause: Beheading via travelling through AETHER doorway
 
Subject: Mouse
Status: Alive
Notes: Arm missing
 
Subject: Mouse
Status: Alive
Notes: Visibly fine
 
Subject: Dummy
Status: Destroyed
Cause: Burning
 
Subject: Dummy
Status: Intact
Notes: Minor burns
 
Subject: Dummy
Status: Intact
Notes: Visibly normal
 
Subject: Wells, I.
Status: Unknown
Cause: Lethal AETHER intensity
Notes: During testing, an unforeseen error came into play, resulting in an explosion killing 8 members of staff. One survivor has experienced psychological trauma from witnessing the aftermath, refusing to co-operate in present and upcoming projects in fear of an identical outcome. As such, his position has been suspended and treatment is pending. Until he can co-operate with Lumitech again, his future with the company is hanging by a thread.
 
Until I. Wells is retrieved from [N/A] or a successful, non-lethal doorway is created, the project will be permanently shut sown.
 
Additional notes: Since the experiment, H Wells has reported seeing an “angel”. Psychological evaluation is recommended.

VISUAL FEED

A Youtube channel was also found, which contains a single video, titled "Visual Feed 1." There appears to be nothing but a black screen, and static in the background. In addition, when closed captions are turned on, more information is revealed:

TheConsole: [ERROR: File could not be read]
TheConsole: [Transcribing event...]
TheConsole: [Subject: Dr Harvey Wells]
TheConsole: [Status: Grieving]
TheConsole: [Cause: Experiment Fatality Case R-03]
TheConsole: [Details: [RESTRICTED BY LUMITECH]
TheConsole: [RADIANCE-1 is online]

Later the restricted details where found to be Project Radiance.

Fort Rosner Breached

On March 26, 2017, two new files were posted on the blog.

Audio File

One of the files was an audio file discovered to be SSTV revealing this image of a crest displaying an eagle with a flag above its head, and holding what appear to be an olive branch and wheat in its talons. Below the eagle is the text "FORT ROSNER," suggesting that this image might be some form of title slide for a video.

Encrypted Message

The other file recovered was an encrypted document, encoded with what appears to be a unique mix of Viginere and Base 64 encryption from this site. The password for this file was "hive," revealing the text:

TITLE OF FILE:  I'm scared
 
FILE CONTENTS:
 
From: Wells, H.
To: Kingston, T
 
Mr Kingston,
I am writing to you about the previous attempts on Project Precipice.
While the AI for Td-1 is being compiled, the physical components of the body Are missing some key materials. We believe that, if given access to the previous RaDiances, We can develop pocket AETHER generators tHat can kEep the final pRoduct running for long pEriods of time, As well as fuel the weaponry being developed.
Respond at your earliest convenience.
 
Regards,
Dr Wells
 
From: Kingston, T
To: Wells, H
 
Dr Wells,
We will have the parts ready soon. We begin with the disasseMbly of Radiance-1 tomorrow. Do not fail us, we are sInking too much money into this and do not want a repeat of what happened to Irene.
 
From,
T. Kingston
CEO of Lumitech

When the capitalization mistakes are strung together with the title, the message "Dad where am I I'm scared" is revealed. This message appears to be coming from Wells' daughter, but how or why it was transmitted is unknown. In addition, the "A.I." referred to in the message could possibly be Jude/TheConsole, but it is not clear whether this is the case.
