Sector Seven Update: New Password is FWIFFO

Thanks to the flash file on the new Transformers MySpace page, a new Sector Seven password has been revealed as FWIFFO (not case sensitive). This new passwords brings up an entirly different console with new icons, images and access.

Starting in the top left, there is a harddrive icon. Currently that can't be opened. To the right of that is five boxes, only the first on called "surveillance array 1" that shows someone;s lab. I guess this is from the Sector 7 facility working on Megatron. I like the cute "This laboratory has worked 52 days without a safety breach" sign. Currently the images are not showing anything except the set.

On the right of the screen is 3 external harddrive icons which currently don't open. Along the bottom are five new icons. The Triforce icon (for Zelda fans) shows the Sector 7 building schematics with only the first five floors viewable. The second icon brings up back to the email, only lots of new email. The third icon and 4th biohazard icon are not accessible. The yield icon brings up a new video.

There are now two email boxes for security. One is the "work stuff" box that contains the emails regarding the Agent X security breach and Hugo Weaving as Megs announcement. There is also a new email to Agent Powers that covers the discovery of a security breach using black-hats and root kits in addition to a backdoor password to Agent Snup's computer with concern there are other backdoor passwords. Currently Snup is in custody under suspicion of being an ally to Agent X by Agent Simmons.

In addition to the work stuff folder is now a "informants" folder that has close to 30 emails in it with various subjects (some matrix related it seems) but unknown senders. The one of significance seems to be "rabbit" who comes across as possibly Bumblebee. In an email from 3/1, reveals that N.B.E.'s name is Optimus Prime and "the world now divided into two factions, autobots and decepticons." Also he writes that Barricade being in Nevada with his "to enslave and punish" slogan. Finally he says that the decedent of Archibald Witwicky, Sam, needs to be detained as has the key to stop the Decepticons. Basically the email lays out the entire plot of the movie.

Another email reveals that NBE One is named Megatron and must remain contained. An email from "Daniel" on 3/15 speaks of Starscream, "I have been in the service of key individuals in Los Angeles to portray his vocal qualities in video game form and my voice will be transmitted all over the world this summer." A hint to the identity of who will voice Starscream perhaps? Other emails are claims of having more information, warnings, simply blank, or saying that weapons research should continue to protect humanity.

The new video is a quad screen view of Dr. Howard as she tries to send a message to Optimus Prime on her laptop with security stopping her dated 3/26/07. One box is an over the shoulder view that shows her working on her laptop. Two others shows a close-up on her mouth and eyes with text indicating detection of high stress levels and the computer apparently detecting her attempt to communicate with the last box relaying text showing how its trying to stop the attempt. Overall, for a short video, lot of stuff thrown on the screen.

To summarize, the game continues with Sector Seven informants providing a more complete picture of the players involved in the Transformers threat. Sector 7 sees the TFs as a danger and makes no distinction between the factions while Dr. Howard and allies do.

Update: Apparently the "Informants" mailbox is composed of emails sent by Transfans to video game related email addresses (not sure where they got them from). If true, makes you wonder how they will incorporate this into the Sector 7 story.
