nDoc Fragments from HydrAi

There have been several fragments, or pings that HydrAi's nDoc has spread over the internet. Many fragments have been posted in various forums, found on twitter, and other locations. All of these fragments have a title are heavily coded, and result in fragments of a possible morse-code cipher when put into the correct order.


HydrAi states: | I BELIEVE THIS DATA WILL POINT TO A GENERAL LOCATION SOMEHOW, FOR OUR MISSING OP |

 



 

SUMMARY

We have been receiving packets of information or pings on various forums, private messages etc. we believe that when decoded these messages will lead us to OPVORKID’s location

We currently have 11 of these pings, with a 12 currently being decoded
They all consist of a code name designation, which may be coloured, and some characters of decoded text

putting in http://download.halowaypoint.com/content/waypoint/assets/images/classified/pings/semperoccultosemper

results in a png image.

Rotate image 180 degrees and extract the RED, GREEN, BLUE and ALPHA channels as RAW.

Concatenate the four channels in order; RED, GREEN, BLUE, ALPHA

get a text file

Add to nDoc that did not fit in our previous sequence, ping 5.

Concatenate CAT.txt and ping5.txt (in that order)

The hex saved creates a zip file, which has yet another text file.
