Revision as of 16:47, 8 February 2008

Timeline of Events

Part 1 - Rabbithole/Pregame (Enitech and The Gardner Project)

EniTech Research Laboratories created a website to bring their latest research- The Gardner Project to the public. Their research has developed a 'tachyon camera' - a camera that takes pictures of future. A video blog on youtube raised a ruckus from people calling it fake, a hoax - but we knew better. An early blog post on their site referenced Cyberdyne, linking it to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles TV show on Fox, which has an extended reality / viral site Takebackthefuture.com.


The tachyon camera produces pictures of tachyons (theoretical particles that travel backwards through time), photos estimated to be about 1193 days to the future; 1193 is also the number the counter of TBTF.com seems to be counting to. January 13 saw the premiere of the TV show - and the day the counter read 1193.


Pictures revealed so far by Enitech show a chaotic, destroyed future San Francisco, including newspaper headlines claiming viral outbreaks, hospitals closing, and more. We even see an image of an enormous machine clutching a school bus. These are ideas posted in response to Enitech's request for ideas for photo to take with their special camera.


Other notable events:

- First appearance of mysterious Zoltan Gerts
- Experimental photo of Jacob Gustar now and 3 years from now


Part 2 - Miles Dyson: In memoriam

January 14, 2008

  • Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Episode 2 premieres on Fox
  • Frank Bentley sent messages and posted a new comment in the Facebook group
Lately I've been getting quite a few messages looking for information about Cyberdyne Systems. To everyone contacting me looking for information...

The company is gone. They haven't been around for years. Unforunately they were ruined by the attack in 1991.

If you're still interested in that type of work then I would suggest you should check out the non-profit trust setup in my late friend's memory. Though it's not the same type company, they do have similar cutting edge research projects.


January 16, 2008

  • New Enitech blog entry: Jan 16, 2008 - g61a/b
    A photo of a nearby neighborhood with a regular camera shows a natural environment - the tachyon camera shows a frighteningly different scene.


January 17, 2008

  • New Enitech blog post: Jan 17, 2008 - Anna Reponds.
    Anna posts a video blog complaining about the obsessing going on over the photo of her posted by Mike, she references the Somethingawful forums and the Unfiction forums by nme, and emphasizes one should 'always be worried about the future'. There are also a number of equations and words scribbled on the whiteboard behind the worried Anna.

January 18, 2008

  • Anna Kies' login to Dyson Trust hacked
    The Anna's worried puzzle was solved, revealing the login to Dyson Trust's secure section, where we learn in a letter from Lawrence Kelly, about the Centurion Project - proposed to Dyson Trust by an unknown organization for support funding and support, which they rejected, but recommended forwarding to the Department of Defense (though offering their services in an advisory role).
    A second letter discussed the status of the Enitech project - the initial proposal from Dr. Bentley, based on a device that was discovered (a camera, as described later in an Enitech video). Dr. Baxter, a Dyson board member, examined the device and approved Bentley's request, making it Enitech's next R&D project (now the tachyon camera).
    The final 4 images are of what appear to be punchcards, begging to be decoded
  • New Enitech blog post: Sometimes we see what we don’t want to see
    Enitech reveals more devastating images from the future of neighborhoods around San Francisco.
  • New Enitech blog post: Anna at the device recovery location
    Anna posts a video at the site where they found a modified camera that their team reversed engineered and which became the basis for the Gardner Project. Along with the camera were four punchcards which they believe hold the locations of four other cameras. The video is interrupted by an approaching figure in the distance, prompting the team to flee the location. On arrival at their vehicle, before they're able to get away, a threatening person appears at the driver's window, but not soon enough, and the team escapes.

January 21, 2008

  • Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Episode 3 premieres on Fox

January 22, 2008

  • vpisteve managed to find a hidden package at the California location.
    The package is a thermos containing a number of items, including a camera with the back plate removed (likely what 'resistance device' is referring to), a battery charger, a USB cable, an empty 32MB CF memory card, and a survival multi-tool. No clues or messages were found with it or in it
  • The second package has reportedly been picked up from "Lily" by a person named Bill, but no report of the package has yet made its way online, and Bill's location is unknown.
  • "Zoltan Gerts" posted in the Cyberdyne facebook group explaining that a man named Bill approached him and gave him the package, along with a lot of additional information
    He describes "Bill" as "a tall hooded man wearing a skiing mask and some kinda goggles that completely cover his face", who said he was "an associate of [his] father (whom [he has] not heard from in over a decade)". Bill gave him the package and told him to protect it at all costs. Bill mentions a rogue resistance cell and "preventing someone from 'compromising the integrity of the code'". The package contents are the same as vpisteves in California, but with the addition of a note which simply says: "Face North. Take a photograph. Contact Enitech Research."
    Who is Bill? Who is Zoltan?

January 23, 2008

  • New Enitech blog post: 2 devices recovered in LA and NY. 2 still hidden. New photos coming in
    Photos of the two packages that were picked up are posted, along with the accounts of the deaddrops. Zoltan's meeting with the mysterious Bill included, but still no information is known. They are concerned for the safety of those who find the cameras. They also received an email from someone named "Alex" containing a number of photos in similar fashion to their tachyon camera's results - someone else may possess a similar device.
  • Later, vpisteve received a communication from a flickr account named "The Resistance":
 :: the device


If you are still in possession of the device contact me immediately and you will receive instructions.

Be careful.

They are watching you.

Take.back.the.future.

  • vpisteve replied, to which he received another response:
Someone wants to send you a message.

Go to Security Trust of Los Angeles, point the device at box A117 inside the bank vault. It has steel walls that can withstand a severe nuclear blast with an estimated yield of around 50 megatons. Take a photo with the device.

Send us your coordinates where the photo was taken.

Send the photo to Enitech and tell them to process it.

Let's see what develops.

  • The bank Security Trust of Los Angeles is the bank that Sarah, John, and Cameron visited in the pilot episode, when locating box A117 registered to "E. Boykins", or "The Engineer" - a resistance fighter from the future who developed a powerful weapon and components for a time displacement field which would take them to 2007 - in the middle of the 105 freeway (indicating the bank was destroyed).
  • Frank Bentley's status on his facebook profile now reads: "busy collecting"

January 24, 2008

  • Frank Bentley's status on his facebook profile now reads: "checking into a rumor"
  • vpisteve travels to the bank to carry out his task.
    He takes two pictures of the bank and sends them to Enitech for processing.
  • Enitech replies to Steve saying
Thank you. We've been contacted by someone claiming to be in "the resistance" who has asked us to process these images using our system. We're curious to find out what will turn up. We'll be in touch soon.
Excellent work.
  • A new image on the Restistance's flickr account is posted showing newspaper clippings, and saved in a new set "other".
    The central clip is Dutch, but contains a paragraph of numbers - code? This begins a new puzzle to solve.

January 25, 2008

  • New Enitech blog post: Enitech update video on the latest news from the Gardner Project 1/25/08
    A video outlining their findings from the past couple of days is posted, with the realization that there will be a devastating event occuring within about 3 years. With this in mind, they are storing their findings in a very ssafe vault for the future, for the survivors, in case it helps them.
    Also hidden within the video are numerous frames - likely placed there by The Resistance. One seems to prompt us with an email to contact them (takebackthefuture@gmail.com); one tells us that "The Turk is not dead", and one is a clip of a dead enitech member - Jacob Gustar! (the one asked to pose in front of a wall in 3 years, who the tachyon photo showed didn't make it)
  • Prompted by the final hidden frame of the crime scene, KookieB emailed EniTech asking if Jacob Gustar was dead, to which they replied:
You must be confused. Jacob is still very much alive. He's sitting across from me as I write this.
  • On emailing the Resistance email address from the video, a response is sent containing a second numeric code to solve.
  • thebruce emailed the Resistance asking if they had any additional information about Jacob Gustar's apparent murder. A reply was received quickly containing the original image that was inserted into the video of Jacob's crime scene (right). Note the date: the photo was taken April 11, 2008 - almost 3 months in the future.

January 27, 2008

  • catherwood managed to reverse-engineer the latest two numeric puzzles, revealing the locations of the final two cameras - Lago Vista, by Austin, TX, and by a baseball field in Orland, FL.

January 28, 2008

  • New Enitech blog post: 2nd recovered device image. From the New York City device.
    Zoltan sent in his photo from NY, with a little info passed on from his contact "Bill". He was given coordinates to photograph from, and to face north. He sent two photos - one with a compass in the frame and one without. Enitech processed and displayed the latter. In the frame, for the second time, is a "RESIST" plaque with another symbol (this one differs from the first, revealed in Steve's bank vault photo earlier). Thus we may be looking at another puzzle.

January 29, 2008

  • RoseKitty retrieves the Austin, TX resistance package, takes a north-facing photo with the camera, and submits it to Enitech. Photos of the drop are on her flickr.
  • New Enitech blog post: 3rd Recovered Device Image. From Texas
    rosekitty, aka Ellie, had her photo from the Texas camera processed (the image she submitted was already loaded on the camera, oddly)

January 30, 2008

  • A series of emails were sent from the Resistance after 3am Eastern, each growing more urgent, containing increasing amounts of the message below:
there is one more device remaining.

skynet is coming now.

warn enitech.

no more time left. (previously: only hours left)

Attached were photos of the exact deaddrop location for the last resistance package in Orland FL, seeming to verify the GPS coordinates that were given.
  • A short time later, Made@Dark manages to retrieve the final resistance package from Orlando, FL. It also contains the same contents as the previous packages, with a photo pre-existing on the memory card. (all photos available on his photobucket)
  • Takebackthefuture.com is updated with video clips and a series of specific countdown numbers interspersed throughout the clips: 2739, 1987, 1920, 1975, 7542, 0232, 1206.
  • New EniTech blog entry: Jan 30, 2008 - Warnings.
    Enitech clears the air and lets people know they've received the warnings about the old Cyberdyne project (Skynet) and a potential security threat to an employee. They are staying alert.

January 31, 2008

  • An email was received by TimonyCrickets from Frank in response to his emailed warning:
Thanks for the warning Timony. We'll keep our eyes open. Tomorrow morning I'll talk to the security staff at our building about the issue.
  • New EniTech blog entry: Jan 31, 2008 - Webcam footage recorded hours ago.
    A video is posted of a webcam conversation between Mike and Anna. The outlook does not look good for Mike. However, Mike reveals what may be the key for understanding the RESIST symbols - a form of neural network diagram. They also ask anyone to email them with information if it's known.
  • An email was received by Punchline from Frank in response to his emailed information:
We use an electronic keycard system and yes, the building automatically locks up after 6:30pm. Investigators are still working to figure out exactly how and why the intruder gained access without force.

February 08

February 1, 2008

  • An email was received by thebruce from Enitech after emailing with condolences and and information:
We are still struggling to overcome the loss and it will be hard to overcome. Our team is working to salvage the work that Mike was doing for us. He was in the process of processing the 4th image and we are working to find out what's on it.

February 2, 2008

February 4, 2008

tell the others

they have all the pieces

February 5, 2008

No, send them to someone who can use them
(re: Mike's neural network idea)

Actually Ben, I think Mike was right.

(later)
You know I have to be honest, neural networks are kind of out of our league. If you feel like you have something working from those Resist diagrams, you should send it to the Dyson Trust. They can probably tell you more accurately if it works.

February 6, 2008

The pyramid idea intrigues us. Has anyone tried assembling the diagram in three dimensions?

February 7, 2008

Why not just construct it as a basic pyramid shape? I'd be curious to see what that looks like.
