* After opening [[Server 04]], users quickly discovered the url of the mysterious new IP address, by using the text found on [[StarImage4.jpg]]: [[206.16.223.76|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.

* 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]].

  • An hour later, the Los Angeles coordinates were 'corrected'.
  • At 10:11 PDT, eccramer of UF discovered a projector playing a video on the wall at the Seattle location. Within this video was a web address to the Server 5 Bounce Path Control page. He reported it to Gigawatts of UF on IRC, and all 100 keys were then claimed within minutes.
