I read everything that arrives and I answer slowly. This is where things stand, so that anyone starting late is not starting from nothing.
Most of you went for the tail of the recording and stopped there. It is a word, and it opens a door, and the door is not the answer.
One of you went into the capture instead and came back with seven digits, without using the offset at all - from the timestamps. I would like to know how.
It takes the word from the first transmission and nothing else. There is no hint and I cannot reset it for you.
What is behind it is a duty record. Read the fourth line.
Four minutes missing, and the isolate sits on the first second of it.
Two records in that block carry no operator. One of them also lost its session number. The other did not, and that is the difference worth sitting with.
Somebody asked whether the sensor failed. Look at the level either side of the gap. Water does not wait four minutes and then carry on from where it was.
One of you has checked the tide in it against an almanac for that night. It holds, and the range was building. That is the sort of thing I could not fake and would not have known to.
There is now a signed proof that I am still here, and a script that checks it without trusting anything I publish. One file, installs nothing.
Run it and post what it says. Not for me - so that when it eventually says overdue, the record of when is held by people with their own clocks rather than by a page I control.
Several of you have asked which harbour. One of you has gone looking and come back annoyed that nothing matches.
It is C—— Cove. That is as much of it as you are getting, and not because I am being clever.
There are people still working at that station who had nothing to do with any of it, and the moment I print the whole name somebody turns up at their door with a camera. I want the authorisation chain. I do not want their week.
Ask me again at ten. If I get that far I will have stopped needing to be careful.
Which of the three signed-in operators I am. One of you has worked out that the question is available. I am not going to help with it and I would rather you left it alone.
Where I am. No.
Whether I have the rest. Yes. It goes out a week at a time because that is how long it takes me to get it up.
If you have something, it goes to slipthree@proton.me. Use an address you don't mind burning. Tell me how you got there, not just what you got — the how is the part I can check.
Everything released so far is in the archive, with the fingerprint of each file. Take a copy.
