Ana visited my very boring server while I was trying to build something.









I'm not well educated on Ana but there's the extent of my experience. Left right after sending that.

Also, I don't know if this was discovered yet but there's a QR code in the volcano picture that I'm about to scan.

from the qr code - not sure what the other stuff means but i guess the discord stuff is confirmed now

edit: the format is some sort of contact info form.

nothing is relevant except the name, address and url which are:
"What Happened?"
176 Spalding Rd, North York, Ontario, M3K 1K4, Canada
https://blocklandana.science/newspaper/2/1693/275/bella/vista/triumph/spokeswoman/dilemma/

yes.

Hey, forget my trashy username please, but
ok
For real, I did some tiny bs looking around and
if you open the audio.ogg on notepad, theres very little english but i got this:
'vorbis+   Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20120203 (Omnipresent)  TITLE=second word  vorbis BCV'

Vorbis+ is an audio codec by Xiph.org
February 3rd 2012 is a date yeah?
or its March 2nd 2012 if she lives in the weird part of the world.

This could just be the release/patch day of the codec.

Second, the images. Her new profile picture is of a person.
I just tweaked the brightness a lil and there 'seems' to be something in the darkness behind her.

Lastly, the audio spectrogram makes no sense. Most people who do these things such as Cicada 3301
put a message in these graphs, but this one seems to be clean and not tampered with. The graph
might be ordered incorrectly though. It could be a picture but its not in the right order.

who the forget is sally

who the forget is sally

This is an anti-humor joke.

Scenario is Sally is sitting next to a bomb and it explodes.
Where did she go?
Everywhere.

the date and omnipresent bit is the version date and name and can be ignored. everything apart from the title is a part of the header, which we've already discovered.

When and where was this discovered?

When and where was this discovered?

Here is the reversed audio file. It's not much clearer. In fact, those familiar with how reversed audio sounds will notice that it sounds more reversed. So I don't think that's what we are supposed to do. Maybe we have to rearrange the audio file, or de-distort it somehow.

I looked at the meta data, and found that the title of the audio file is "second word". Perhaps this indicates that the solution the puzzle is the second word in the audio clip. Or maybe it is referring to the "second word" of something else.

If you are using Chrome or Chromium, you may notice when you go to the page that Google asks if you want to translate the page. The HTML code indicates that the language of the page is "de-DE". So the words in the audio file are probably in a different language. Using this language to interpret the audio file will probably give us the words we need to find the "second word". The HTML language code "de-DE" corresponds to Deutsch and German. Given that on the newspaper page had the title "Zeitung", which translates to "newspaper" in German, I'm betting that the language is German.

Also, the title of the current page is "Sehen", which translates to "see" in German. This furthers supports the hypothesis that the audio file is in German.
