Can anyone trace where Zalgo text-kun is coming from? Or what it's saying?

[Ahh, there's that bad feeling again.]

"Zalgo text"? May I ask what "Zalgo" is a reference to?

The way it's all garbled and junk.

I don't know why it's called "Zalgo" but never mind that, this is way suspicious.

Understood. So it indicates this specific type of...encryption, I suppose?

It is suspicious. Do you know if there is any means of tracing the origin of the message?

Oh, Atsuro's got it! Apparently it's binary for "Let's Survive".

We don't know what to make of it!

I don't know the significance of those words either, if there is any.

[Maaaybe she'd tried to be too formal there? All right here goes.] Does anyone know who sent that thing?

[....MAN, that was weird.]

I see.

My technological skills are mediocre at best, but if I can provide assistance, I would like to do so.

...Great. So Hinoto-Ri falls not to monsters but evil viruses.

[After a moment's pause, a slight gasp.]

'Let's survive'...?! No. It couldn't be...

It's binary code, not corrupted text. Each string of eight 0s and 1s is a bit string mapping to a Roman numeral or another character commonly used in text.

Oh...wow, now that I'm looking at it closer, you're right.

Doesn't make it any less ominous though...


[In fact, "Let's survive" just makes it worse.]
otakuro: (Serious)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-07-14 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
More ominous, if you ask me.

[A short pause. Kaito knew about his world...]

...Don't go spreading this around, but. This was the same message we got back home when it all started. Just seconds before the first demons came through.

Got it. Although now it's just triple ominous. Do you think it's a warning or something?
otakuro: (Grim)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-07-14 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Another pause.]

I don't know........

[Atsuro will leave it at that, but he is, understandably, shaken.]

...Naoya, were you the one who put in that message when I unlocked the COMPs? The text from the Bible, and then... this? Or was it someone else's idea?
meaningdies: (for he who sees the light)

[idk whatever]

[personal profile] meaningdies 2013-07-14 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that was me.

...It looks like you've got a fan, then.

[A pause and Atsuro gives a small shrug.]

Anyway. I'll still take living computer viruses over the Bels. ...Have you been working on this?

Of course. It's part of my job to troubleshoot problems with the network.

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-07-18 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you working with Fumi?

She says she's been preoccupied trying to keep the firewalls up herself. Does she need you to give her a hand or do you think you can try helping with an antivirus?
meaningdies: (patience grows thin)

[personal profile] meaningdies 2013-07-19 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not, no. I'm working with Brainstorm.

I can see what I can manage with an antivirus. The problem is isolating the data - it's moving faster than it should, and it's sneaky. I can do it, it'll just take longer.

... It might be worth checking to see if it's actually alive, as well. I wouldn't put that past this place. And who knows what kind of demons could arise from rumors on the internet?

[A Slenderman demon would just be annoying... though not unlikely.]
otakuro: (Sad)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-07-23 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Atsuro gives a slight groan at hearing this pronounced from the master.]

I was... half-thinking something like that. It's like it was anticipating my actions - like it was learning. If you think so, then...

This place just loves coming up with new ways to torture us, huh...?
meaningdies: (sight in the land of the blind)

[personal profile] meaningdies 2013-07-23 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
It does.

Though I'm going to be running damage control for government officials most of the time with this, I think. There's always the tech-illiterate to wrangle.
otakuro: (Embarrassed)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-07-24 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
...If you've got too much to handle, I can try and pick up the slack somewhere. I learned from the best, after all.

But the antivirus will be the most important thing if we can manage it.

[He'll quietly monitor this, considering he knows nothing of binary and isn't a computer scientist so much as a computer gamer. Not helpful.

Still, he wants to pick up information. Or, well, as much information as he can with the system glitching so much...
