In it, HydrAi [another 343 account and part of the ARG]  was asking for the OP Toasty, and saying that he wanted to give access to a file, but we needed to first give the passcode.



 

|OP, I WISH TO ASSIST YOU, AS IS MY USUAL ROLE. HOWEVER, ALL ONI BRANCHES ARE CURRENTLY LOCKED. TO UNLOCK, I NEED THE CORRECT NUMERAL. NUMERAL?|



|VERY WELL, I WILL SIMPLIFY THE QUESTION: NUMERAL BETWEEN 1 AND 2147483647 PLEASE?





Along with several humorous responses to guesses, we also have:



|..TRUE. HOWEVER, A KEY MAY PROVE NECESSARY..|



|FOR NOW, I CAN OFFER THIS, IF IT HELPS YOU SLEUTH|

DBD_Cmdr_Hanson says:​
 Sec3Op is calling for Help because of the image he is linking to, The Hydra, aka the HydrAi and can be a virus or worm of sorts inside the AI



​HydrAi's code to answering posts by color 
Blue is cold
Black (highlight to see) is warm
Yellow is neutral, every response in yellow is after a number repeated twice
Most importantly, THE CONTENT OF THE POSTS when doing hot/cold DOES NOT MATTER. IGNORE THE TEXT, PAY ATTN TO THE COLOR ONLY



Eventually, we were able to gather that the number was 7340031
