(Aug 17)
  • Just after 9pm PDT, according to the times listed on the artifact location page, GPS coordinates appeared beside each city. People in the area then headed to the locations to find something.
  • An hour later, the Los Angeles coordinates were 'corrected'.
  • At 10:11 PDT, eccramer discovered a projector playing a video on the wall at the Seattle location. Within this video was a web address to the Server5 Bounce Path Control page. All 100 keys were gone with in minutes.
  • By 10:23pm PDT, 100 keys had been entered and Server 05 was unlocked (though once again, not without technical difficulty).
  • At 10:30pm PDT, the New York coordinates were also 'corrected'.
  • The time it took from discovering the Bounce Path Control page (first key entered) to the 100 keys being entered took about 20 minutes - however, the first 5 keys spanned 19 minutes, at which point the BPC page link was posted, and within under 2 minutes, the rest had been claimed.
  • Everything about Server 05 was then actively pored over by the community.
(Aug 16)
  • Just before noon, the status of server 5 was updated to pending with 0 keys activated.
  • At about 11:30am EDT, times appeared after the dates in the city list on the artifact location website. For New York (EDT): 23:59, Seattle (PDT): 21:00, and for LA (PDT): 21:00.
(Aug 13)
  • The numbers 081607 (16th August, 2007) now appear between the city names and random characters of the artifact location website.
(Aug 10)
  • After opening Server 04, users quickly discovered the url of the mysterious new IP address, by using the text found on StarImage4.jpg: TheArtifactLocation.com. It was also noted then that when each star map when overlaid with previous, was slowly spelling out "the artifact location" which was clearly visible in the 4th image.
  • It was quickly determined (aka previously known) that the password for the location was boomerang - the name of the nebula in unknown.jpg. Entering it produced a new mystery - a list of 3 cities: New York, Seattle, Los Angeles - followed by randomly cycling characters in sets of 5.
(Aug 9)
  • At 10:50am PDT, Thomas Sanatos began another thread in the book's forum, labelled "He's BACK!!"
  • Within this comment, Thomas was very excited that Jonas had returned from his 20 months' absense, quoting an IM he received from one "profvol49". Assuming it's an MSN username, Jonas could be reached via profvol49[splat]hotmail.com
  • In chatting with profvol49 (a chat bot), bits of information were revealed - some important, some not. Mainly, the link to the Bounce Path Control page for Server 04.
  • Soon after 11am PDT, 100 keys had been entered and Server 04 was unlocked (though not without technical difficulty).
