ARG Part 2: 4/9/11 - 6/9/11

Click here for Part 1

On checking the sourcecode for the 13311tower.com some new info was now hidden there:

A new version of the 'Missing Link' image from part 1 of the ARG

A grid type coded image

Also news of the upcoming DLC was released

Progress so far:

On the second page of 13311tower.com clicking on the '+' symbol in the top left (next to 'Camera 2') opens a new, distinct Username/Password dialogue.

Lv4 wrote a script and phl hosted it, which enabled us to use the original substitutions with ease

Since the new grid image was the same size as the old desktop image, we made a composite image of the two to produce a reference grid

Using the original cipher on the key at the top of the grid, we obtained 'v4io9e$a'

Looking up these letters on the new composite image, there was some kind of plaintext message underneath:

'I/T/HI/NK/BELL/BE/SKULL -- C/HECK/THE/SE'

Overlaying the two pictures directly You can see that the arrows along the bottom seem to spell out 311333333.

The second login is:

username: ithinkbellbeskull

password: 311333333

This leads to a new image of a guy patrolling a boat with one of the in-game ebooks in his hand and some kind of ocean complex in the background

Clicking on the ebook loads a separate page 1ette7wle7r.13311tower.com with a further image of Adam bleeding in the foreground, the same ocean complex in the background and the text 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution The Missing Link' - This image is gradually being unlocked with some of it still obscured by black squares. The string '1ette7wle7r' when put through the original cipher gives 'MissingLink'

Twitter updates from @dbed:
