Hieronet explorer can access Google. Internet is working, ticket closed.

However, it also has a virus that could infect the company, so be a good proactive employee and continue to look at privileged company info fix that.

Also, look at the lack-of-a-taskbar with scryglass.

Pop open the tower and see if anything is off about the hardware.

[Eschar]

Download a infinite-desktop program. Use it to go Beneath the Taskbar. Scry everything we see.

Hieronet explorer can access Google. Internet is working, ticket closed.

Well, if they wanted to get search results for Hieronet pages only, the ticket would be resolved. Seems that even the Elder Gods have admitted that Google is a pretty useful search platform. Side note: staring at these pages for more than a few seconds makes your brain hurt.

[X] Sign name on PDF. You'll be one of the greats!

You decide not to sign it in blood. Also this is a .pdf file so you couldn't if you wanted to.

Pop open the tower and see if anything is off about the hardware.

Yeah so the tower is like 100 square feet on the inside? On the other side of the tangle of wires and circuit board, you can see a room about the size of a tiny studio apartment. You can't really fit through there, though.

Also there's a little slip of paper crammed inside.

Use OCR software to find the hieronet glyphs in >>necronomicon.pdf<<. Don't feed new software to the demons.

You find about 300 instances of the symbol, or something similar to it, in the book. You then proceed to wonder why an ancient text like the Necronomicon has a bunch of red Internet Explorer logos in it. Anyway, you're certain most of those pages would cause you to go mad, so you should probably hold off until you know which are safe. The first two pages Steve marked for you have the symbol on them, at least.

You're uh, not sure that a program like that exists for Windows 98. And that wouldn't really make any physical sense.

Oh.

accessing the hieronet is easy, even on the mortal plane!

1. complete the desktop summoning ritual to install the needed program
2. read up on some ancient symbols! hieroglyphs, runes, etc. will be necessary
3. find some hieronet urls. ask one of your skinwalker friends if they know any!

Hail Qalzsx'wa,

Just shootin' ya an electronic mail, wondering how the whole Y2K project's coming along on your end. It's been a little difficult getting these messages across without the Hieronet router set up, so I was wondering if you heard back from the support team at Hells-Deathwell. See, we have to sacrifice a goat in the conference room every time we send one of these emails without a persistent Outer Realm connection, and the whole logistical side of shipping live animals to the office is getting a little tough to manage. So if you could get in touch with them that would be greeaat.

Thanks a bunch,
Michael

Hey there, just a couple of notes before you dig in to the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.
First, certain parts of the .pdf file seem to shift around at random. This is normal,
and there isn't anything I can do about it. Sorry.

Second, most of the pages in this book WILL cause you to go insane if you look at
them long enough. I do NOT recommend looking at pages unless you know they
are safe. I don't know of many pages that are safe to look at, but you can start with
pages 33, 98, and 422.

Finally, some of the pages in here seem to refer to Hieronet URLs. If you see the
Hieronet icon in the corner, that's what it is. Have fun!

-Steve

The paper slip looks like a Lindenmayer system to me.

[Paxiecrunchle]

So I take It, that the message is not in morse code then?

[helmacon]

Aquire a small done with a camera (out just a selfie sick with our phone on it) and use it to explore the internal room of the computer.

[Maximum Spin]

I don't know any form of morse code that includes the characters [ and +.

Bowie is clearly scribbling a kabbahlistic image of the godhead on the ground.



It has many similarities with the merkabah, or "Eziekiel's wheel".

I've found this https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BC%B8 but it seems to be off...

Search for those chinese characters on google.
