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 <code>WAKING TITAN</code>, below that the CSD category the user belonged in. Below that a series of hexidecimals <code>70686f656e6978</code> can be found, which after decoding, translates to <code>PHOENIX</code>. 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.

Waking Titan - Phase 4
Active since 2017-05-28
Project WT logo.png
Waking Titan was an ARG which led to the Atlas Rises update for No Man's Sky, and has been dormant untill 18-12-2017.
Type [[List_of_Investigations#Official|Official]]
Creator Alice & Smith & Hello Games
Discovered 2017-05-28

Main Page > List of Investigations > Waking Titan > Phase 4

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

Status Command Update

On January 20th, the STATUS started updating. The first update occurred at 5:44PM GMT.

The update period was this:

Xxxxx XX           

1-800-413-0110     : 22:16 (1 min)
Xxxxx XXX

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 below.

Upon decoding the text, ordering the list of locations in the image by the letters, 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

The text marked for a new live-drop happening in the previous livedrop location. Due to the old Cafe Bene closing, they added the Xxxxx XXX part in the STATUS command update, to warn people about the new place. The new place's name is Outro NYC. The livedrop was intended to occur at 7PM EST. However, the first player from the community who set out for the drop was involved in a traffic mishap, delaying their arrival. Anticipating missing the drop's time window, the community reached out to request a time extension, and the the STATUS command, which had updated frequently throughout the confusion, was updated again to approve the community's request.

STAND BY: CSD CITIZEN NOT DETECTED
WARNING: CSD CITIZEN NOT DETECTED!
IT'S LONELY OUT HERE
TIME EXTENSION REQUESTED?
EXTENTION PROPOSED: 2H30 – AWAITING CSD APPROVAL
EXTENSION APPROVED, BE SAFE

After the extension was approved, a second player from the community set out to the livedrop location and met with their A&S contact around 7:30PM EST. During the meeting, the player was handed a memo and asked if they were "getting any sleep". After the meeting, a livestream from the player who made contact with A&S gave the community an opportunity to look over the memo, pictured below. On the back of the memo REMS is written. This clue, in combination with the strange question A&S asked at the rendezvous, led players to the password for the 10th Glyph, REM SLEEP.

Once the glyph was solved, the STATUS command updated to a bit.ly link to a form. Players discovered that on the sixth question on the form, entering REMS or REM Sleep (case sensitive) caused a seventh question to reveal itself, allowing CSD users to enter their email address to recieve leftover from something called Lab 319.

This page is a work in progress, and will be updated as new developments emerge.
