• The Artifact Location was discovered by using the text found in StarImage4.jpg of Server 04. The header of the website reads: "Artifact Location"
• What the "Artifact" really is is unknown at this point.

Initial page content

• 
  The site consists of numerous stars that slowly disappear the longer the page remains open. In the center is a password entry box. Faintly visible in the background is another glyph (see right).
• The stars are randomly generated every time the page is loaded, and holds no meaning in and of itself.

---

• Following the same lead from Server 04 content, the image unknown.jpg was determined to be an astronomical photograph of the Boomerang Nebula
• Assuming this is the 'location of the artifact', if one enters boomerang as the password, the page content updates.

After entering boomerang

• Listed are 3 cities:

  New York

  Seattle

  Los Angeles

• Beside the cities are randomizes characters, which cycle endlessly.

August 13

• The numbers 081607 (16th August, 2007) appear between the city names and random characters.

After entering boomerang since 13 august

• Later in the day, military times respective to each of the cities listed were added, which are theorized for the opening of Server 05.

  New York: 23:59

  Seattle: 21:00

  Los Angeles: 21:00

  (these times are assumed to be local times)

Military Times for each of the cities

August 16

• After the time which was specified had passed (midnight EDT, 9pm PDT), numbers that appeared to be GPS coordinates replaced the random characters.

• The first set of coordinates led to a location in New York

40.75908, -73.98619

• The second set of coordinates led to a building within Seattle

47.61440, -12232059

• The third set of coordinates led to an intersection in Westwood, CA (northwest of Sacramento).

40.30609, -121.00434

• Shortly after the locations were determined, the coordinates listed by Los Angeles were corrected to:

34.05099, -118.43814 (Westwood Blvd, LA)

• After Server 05 had been fully unlocked, the coordinates listed by New York were also corrected, to:

40.75006, -73.99785 (more than 16 blocks away)
