Tenth Glyph

the background of the tenth glyph

From December 28th, 2017, onwards, typing WHOIS on the Waking Titan website returns the following: #WHATIS1.5. In addition, the 10th glyph was made active, and linked to a Google Drive folder, which contained community-made pictures of the NMS logo in an infinite mirror.

The titles of the photos, when strung together and skipping the 00 (empty) ones, were hexidecimal for moirrr, which is an anagram for mirror. Additionally, the hexidecimals in the correct order for the word mirror can be found on the bottom of the Myriad website.

Also of note is the background of the tenth glyph, which reads:

Dear Elizabeth
We have finished processing 10,000 passes as per your requirements. You should
have them in time for the next phase. I really hope you will like the final product.

Kind regards,
Gail

The allusion to 10,000 passes is likely a reference to the Level 4 Atlas passes that were promised to ARG players as part of earlier phases. As of now, the identity of "Gail" is unknown.

Atlas Passes

On January 17th, 2018, the first CSD user received his Atlas Pass. The passes are made from cardstock, with a textured pass printed on it. The front had the text WAKING TITAN, below that the CSD category the user belonged in. Below that a series of hexidecimals 70686f656e6978 can be found, which after decoding, translates to PHOENIX. On the back the owner's CSD-ID was written down, along with a serial number telling you what pass out of 10,000 you have, and a number at the top.

It is strongly reccomended to not cover up the hex underneath your signature, and to share the number above and below your CSD ID if you are in posession of a pass. Preferably with a picture of the front, as shown to the right. For a list of all the atlas passes we currently know of, please refer to this spreadsheet.

Atlas Pass front side. in the event you recieve one of these, please share a picture of the front, and the numbers underneath and above your CSD-ID on the back.

Calling the provided phone number yielded an audio sequence, which was translated via SSTV to different places with weather data, especially the data contained precipitation informations. The images themselves can be viewed to the right.

Upon decoding the text, ordering the list of locations in the image, yielded a sequence, where you can read off Index by Precipitation Using the ordered text, indexing by precipitation (in alma the second index is o) this could be read:

CAFE
BENE
NINETEEN
SAT
