SoulStorm ARG - Spirit of 1029 - Photo 1

I think I've got those 2 bits wrong, I've messed with the resolution of the piece to the right too so I'm not sure where they're meant to go. I'm looking for his head but I can't make it out. The barbed wire in the middle top piece looks too big compared to the one to the right to be where the head peice is.

You can see the spiralling barbed wire over his should on the right and the greyish one you've put over his face so I think it should be to the left of the head, judging by the perspective...

His face may be missing.

As I said, Ed would remove his face.

These 5 fit together, but the final two are less clear.

Seems to be a Mudokon holding a cylindrical object, with 010101BB on its chest and the same code on the object. There’s a fence of some sort behind them.

Yep, In the exact same situation as you. Do you think we're missing another piece with his head on?

The down left piece has got his head on it. And the one in the middle on the top row should be on the left, as there is the "round fence thing" which is bigger than on the right so it probably goes on the left
Edit: I'm unsure about the left piece having his head on it I think is head is just blurred

Hey, do you guys see letters scratched into that top left blue one? It looks like it says "WE'RE" maybe?

"WE'RE SO TIRED" makes sense...

Hey, I don't have them editing skills but the blue piece seems to fit the right most brown one if rotated.

Oh nice Oddworld is dragging more and more people into this ARG there are 43 guests viewing this thread!

[OrangeLightning]

I'm so excited! I've never had a chance to participate in one of these before, and it's for my favorite game series to boot!

[Gunnr]

Yes it is

[Manco]

This is where I’m at now: I can’t find a good spot for the blue piece.

Blue piece goes in the top left where the grey is now

[Manco]

Blue piece goes in the top left where the grey is now

I can’t see how that would fit, and the image doesn’t seem to match up.

1029-LY and 7676-AL fit together

[Dead Meat]

http://imgur.com/a/4kn3B Ignore the black space, I think I matched grey and blue up

[Spectaer]

Maybe we are missing some photos? Like with numbers hidden in the page / old cipher? I'm trying to make the pieces fit but I'm not going anywhere far from you guys

[Dead Meat]

Wait... one of the images is 1029, do the others have any relevance?

edit: the other file names I mean

The piece with the writing (W?RED) has creases which connect to the creases on the top left image in the posts above.

Oops somehow this posted twice, ignore pls .....

[GouStoulos]

Damn. And i thought that i finally did something :P
Am at pretty much the same state as you guys

[TopHattedTime]

This is how I got 1029-LY and 7676-AL to fit together

E: I'm still not happy with the bottom right piece yet.. It just doesn't look right

[HOMINIX]

The spiral in lower grey is almost certainly the top of a barbed wire fence, so it would have to be rotates so its horizontal

This is how I got 1029-LY and 7676-AL to fit together

I think you're right about those fitting together, lookin at the barbed wire spiral

if you rotated it counter clockwise and pushed it over so theres a gap where his head should be, i think thats the final picture

Edit: Went through the morse entirely to come up with a ciphertext based on the image alone

Taking a good hard look at the morse image (https://i.imgur.com/LdpiiaH.png), I think the (mostly) correct ciphertext is

qmiqwmiqyidimrjqdjijilmxmnrjqdjajmpmnrprspkesmkjpdqjnyajnwsnrpgspcsppmqidimqymdbcqajnwsnrpgspcdhbzmnjajanadumjimrpq

Using this as ciphertext at http://www.braingle.com/brainteasers/codes/keyword.php with key storm decodes to

tentwentyninedotiononqexerdotiofoeserdsdaspjaepositoryforwardslashassetninetyeightforwardslashimgzerofofrfiueonedst

ten twenty nine dot io nonqexer dot io foeserdsdaspjaepository forwardslash asset ninety eight forward slash img zero fofrfiueonedst

Parts of the morse are very hard to read but it appears another url is in here?

In this cleartext I decoded earlier which led to the hidden repository stuff, "dot io" comes up a second time. At the time, I was unable to get that portion of morse before it correctly decoded, thus I was unable to find another working URL. Perhaps there is one after all, and it could yield additional puzzle pieces or something else? Also, has there yet to be a use for the numbers 12 and 20 used to solve the earlier "??" puzzles? Or the directional arrows? I feel like maybe we're missing something here.

[Havoc]

Jesus you guys are going fast.

I'm trying to get a better look at the writing, but it's tricky to get the balance right.

Is it possible we're looking at two separate pages?

P.S. Hi, everyone, great work today, very impressive. I'm glad to be a part of it.

[Manco]

So like this? [full size]

[Connell]

This is as far as I've got:

E: Snap Manco haha. I just feel like there has to be another piece. Perhaps there's an image that doesn't show up as often as the others.

[HOMINIX]

awesome, I think we might as well tweet it to them

[TopHattedTime]

Ahhhh it's 2:40am here, I gotta call it a night sadly! Goodluck with the photos!!

Same here, sadly. See you guys in the morning, keep up the good work!
