i think its sc related since the logo is a combination of zerg/toss/terran logo. They do this on a serious project. Its for the lulz

Oh, I would also like to bring up the leaked product release timeline:

[image loading]

The mysterious 'SC2 Phoenix' seems to be slated to be released around the time of HotS. As we all know, we are rapidly approaching HotS's release. Hmmm...

Unless this is an ARG for HotS, which would be disappointing tbh.

has to be cracked by some sort of secret lettering system or whatnot that will decipher what it meant to not release. The only question is what is the lettering system that cracks it.....

Blackstone Research Staff











Welcome!


Esteemed Colleagues:It is my profound pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to Project Blackstone. Hold your heads high, people. You are now members of a select team, a group that has been handpicked by top officials in Dominion intelligence and approved by Emperor Mengsk himself. You will be the front line in scientific research dedicated to the protection and expansion of our empire of man throughout the Koprulu sector.I am sure that many of you have questions regarding the nature of your selection, your brisk arrival, and the expected duration of your stay. That information will be made available to you when I see fit. Until then, please familiarize yourself with the facilities and get to know your peers. The badge issued to you upon your arrival will trigger automated guidance lights running along the floors, so be sure to keep it on your person at all times. Hallways marked with green lights will indicate the path from your quarters to your designated workspaces. Hallways lined with a flashing yellow light are off limits, and represent potential danger to unauthorized personnel. Hallways lined with a red light should be avoided at all costs, and your presence there will guarantee a speedy execution. Please restrict your movements to the approved areas only.Again, welcome to Project Blackstone. I look forward to making your acquaintance at the barbecue in the (green-lit) social lounge this evening at 1900 hours."


I'm assuming that the "colleagues" are those pictured in the image I linked a few posts above.

I don't get anywhere to enter a code...? I just get a fuzzy terran logo.

If I right click it though, and open image in new tab, I get this.

[image loading]

Logo has already been posted but this is a larger one and slightly different. Any reason why the eagle is halved or am I just overthinking it? xD

Heh, tried arcturus, kerrigan and something else.. didn't work.

The "remove source code before deployment" thing is obviously something they forgot on purpose, but cool to see what comes out of this

Edit:
Blackstone seems to refer to the artifact to me

Edit2:
Hoe do people figure out these passwords? Wow
