What Happened To Sector 7 Website

The film is out, Sector 7 has been "dissolved" but the story of the website hasn't been completed. Who is Agent X (likely Prime but not confirmed), what happened to Dr. Howard and Agent Whathisname? Are they going to complete the game or is this the end of the game?

Sector 7: Brief Blackout Video

The Sector 7 website has added a new video to the site. This time it shows a video that launches after log in of Blackout attacking. Click here for direct link bypassing login. Thanks to Maximus for the heads-up.

Sector 7 Site Update

Sector 7 site has finally updated with some new content under the password DECEPTIBOT. The info under most of the harddrives remain the same including the second one remaining locked. However, last one contains 3 more "Operation: Hungry Dragon 2" files. Those new videos are humorous viral videos that show expresso machine, toy robot, and grill auditioning to be in Transformers. Its just goofy.

On the bottom bar though there is some new content. The "I" symbol, the 6th and 7th floor of the building schematics are finally unlocked so the design of the entire headquarters of Sector 7 is now viewable. Also on several floors the "surveilliance video" has returned. Specifically floor 1 section 3 (1-3), 4-18, 5-8, 7-2, 7-9, 7-8 (Megatron).

Under the Yield symbol is a video of soldiers investigating a helicopter crash. A helicopter that happens to look exactly like Blackout. The suggestion is this where he gets his form and might play into his sequence in the movie.

The final updates are with the Global Tracking Data (the globe) and SETI (the satellite). Under the satellite is a long bizarre sound file that frankly makes no sense to me. I am guessing that the implication is the pattern of sound suggests intelligent attempt at communication rather then just normal solar noise. Beats me though.

I wonder how many updates are left, whats under the second harddrive, what happened to Dr. Howard and Agent whathisname, and whats in the world is the point of the surveillance videos especially 7-9 with its now 147 days of safety. Thanks to Maximus for pointing out the update.
Under the globe is the more intersting bits. Its a layout of the world, with X marking the spots of possible NBE (Transformers) sightings. About half the videos are UFO vides of the strange light in the sky variety. Some have been seen before on this sight but I think the newest one is North California which shows a flash card transforming into Laserbeak. Pretty slick.

Sector 7: G1 Starscream Video

The Sector 7 podcast updated with a new video called "The lies began in 1982". It then shows footage of a plane flying and then transforming into G1 Starscream. Very slick looking. The model they used is the Masterpiece Starscream toy that came out last year in Japan.

I tried to figure out a direct link to it but was unable. Use your favorite podcast software and look for "Sector 7 Must Be Stopped" to find it. If someone finds a YouTube of it or an easier way to download be sure to comment about it.

Update: Ultra Marcus has kindly provided the direct link to the movie file. If its gets converted to YouTube please post the link. Just do a right-click then save as. Thanks!
Masterpiece Starscream CGI Video

Another update: YouTube now has the video. No sound which is a shame but its not that important. Thanks to Darkfire for the link.

New Sector 7 Password: Deceptibot

A new password to the Sector 7 site is now available via text message. The password is DECEPTIBOT (not case sensitive). Thanks to Judd S for providing the password. The website is mostly the same as the previous console but has some additional content.

Under the black hard drive on the left side, there is a new video file that shows the covering of the building in LA with Transformers posters on all 4 sides. It also shows the glowing light in the eyes of Optimus at night. Worth a quick look.

Under the first folder in the top right are five new images of people "protesting" Sector 7 which is where the post pic of the "Free Megatron" T-shirt came from. The second folder has about 8 more "satellite" images about I don't know what.

Under the yield icon is a new video from Gravesen about Operation Seek and Destroy. Apparently monitoring DoD feeds looking for Transformers landing on earth (ties into opening of the movie me thinks).

There is one new email that contains a zipped audio file:

From: Restricted
Subject: Deceptibot
Date Sent: June 5 2007 22:32 (MST)
To: Simmons

I just received this audio file from some of our more interesting guys in IT. They call themselves DECEPTIBOT (they think they're funny).

Anyway, they've submitted this for the OHD2 campaign.
CLICK HERE AND GRAB THEME.ZIP

OHD2 is "Operation: Hungry Dragon 2" which is to sell Sector 7 (and the movie) to the public with the trailer that is visiting several theatres around the country.

The audio file is a techno/rap version of the Transformers theme. Very uh interesting sound. Not sure what to make of it. Its definitely the opening "Transformers Robots in Disguise" theme just completely reworked.

New Sector 7 Email Reveals Another International Poster

Sector 7 website updated with a new email. In that email is an interesting new this new international poster for Transformers. Click the poster to get the full 1620x2400 image. Thanks to Methusalen for the info.

From: Restricted
Subject: Operation Hungry Dragon

To: Simmons

Operation Hungry Dragon 2 has begun its global initiative. Attached to this email you will find our new international "movie poster". We need to infiltrate the other side of the ocean before they do.

We're still conducting investigations of every protestor who tried to disrupt our ground campaign -- they will be neutralized. Unfortunately, our latest intel finds the level of anti-Sector-Seven feelings on the rise, no doubt thanks to X's increasing ranks of operatives.

What is a "Brotherhalo" anyway?

-John Ho

P.S. Reggie, can you believe its been 30 years to the day? Me, you and those foreign exchange twins at the Chinese. Good times.

Vector Sigma Site Password

Thanks to site reader Lorenzo P., the password for the Vector-Sigma.org site has been discovered. The site was discovered as a result of the new Sector 7 password where one of the harddrives contained a screenshot of the site.

The password is MEGAMAN and the site is case sensitive. Or you can click here or here for direct access. The difference is screen size dimensions.

Megaman is not a reference to the blue-domed character from the Capcom games but the "human" reference to Megatron that Sector 7 currently posseses in frozen storage at Hoover Dam. As the screenshot shows, the site mimics the Sector 7 view but apparently is the desktop of "Agent X".

Starting from the top-left, have two harddrives. The red-striped one is for "Intercepted Documents" such as the story of Agent FWIFFO and the animated Transformers being used to hide the real existence of the them. It also has the weeks 1, 3-7 of the Stop Sector Seven podcasts. The second black harddrive is the "Hidden" TV trailer.

Along the top-middle are three image placeholders, only one active. The active one is showing a monitor or computer screen and not much else. Almost the same image as the BYBYEPOWERS S7 surviellence video had. Top-right is two more hard drives. The first isn't accessible, the second can be moved around the screen, not sure why. If using the small version of the site, it might be laid out so red strip on the left, all 3 black harddrives on the right. Information within is the same.

Along the bottom are the 4 Zelda (from Ocarina of Time I think) and yield symbols. The triforce is satellite footage of Hoover Dam where Megatron is located. The second symbol is a recording of Optimus Prime, from the Make Prime Speak contest, saying "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." Middle symbol currently does nothing.

The biohazard type symbol is email. Currently the email is a threat from S7 leader Agent Simmons, question from Agent TC about the symbols (answer above), and one from Fwiffo. The last symbol, the yield, currently does nothing. Hopefully a video will pop up there soon.

So first Sector Seven.org (CODEBLACK), now Vector-Sigma.org (MEGAMAN).

Update: Based on the info from the comments and confirmed by comments elsewhere turns out vector-sigma.org is a fan creation. A very well done fan creation, but not official part of the viral Sector 7 campaign for the movie. Shame though, very good idea of some potential there.

Sector 7: New Password Is CODEBLACK

With the release of the new trailer comes a new Sector 7 password - CODEBLACK (not case sensitive) thanks to eagle-eyed viewers who saw that at the 28 second mark the S7 symbol pops up with the password. Or you can just click here as it bypasses the login. This new login brings a different background and basically summarizes all the data from the previous versions. The only new thing really is a new video from shadow guy to Agent Simmons indicating S7 is back up and running but still concerned about the mole and preparing for all-out invasion since at delta threat level (whatever that means).

Starting from the top left, you have 4 harddrives, all of them scene from previous desktops. The first harddrive is the Takara agreement and 3 satellite photos. The second harddrive is currently not accessible. The third harddrive brings the various YouTube videos and the like with Grimlock going down a street, Kickback landing on a leaf and so forth. They have been with the site since March but if you haven't seen it before, click here where Jalopnik have combined the footage into one video. The last harddrive has the 2nd theatrical trailer and surveillence array footage.

The 5 surveillance array's are gone so nothing in the top center. Along the top right are 4 folders. Folder 1 includes the 10 "Stop Sector 7" podcasts. Also has images from the TF building reveal from last week, and screenshots from various Stop Sector Seven websites including a new one, Vector-Sigma.org. Vector-Sigma was the name given to the Ark computer that crashed landed on Earth with the Transformers for the cartoon series. Oops, as pointed out by a site reader, Teletran-1 was the Ark computer and Vector-Sigma was the computer that gave life to G1 Transformers. More or less the equivilant of the Allspark in the movie. The site is currently password protected (when can get it to load).

Folder 2 is the satellite images seen under the previous BYBYEPOWERS login. Folder 3 is all the Dr. Howard/Agent Powers videos from the previous logins. The final folder is the S7 logos that have been available since the site first opened.

Along the are six symbols that almost look like letters. The I icon is the S7 building schematics, levels 6 and 7 remain locked. The next symbol is for email, no new ones in the inbox yet. The N and Y are locked and do nothing. The E is the previous shadow man video from the previous login. The yield symbol is where the new video content is.

S7 mystery continues, be glad when "real" developments occur though so things can get interesting up to the movie release date. I do wonder though, is the site schedule on US release date time or some other countries who are getting the movie up to a week early.

New Starscream Message

TFW2005 reader discovered a new message from Starscream once again demanding the Allspark. The post was put up on the Stop Sector Seven site by cod3x who previously pointed out another Starscream message. Whether its related to the Sector 7 game or just a fan having fun is unknown but either say its a cool sound file.

My best guess on what is being said is "Attention Agent X Negotations are irrelevent. You will inform the human powers to disclose the whereabouts of the AllSpark to me immediately. Do not defy me, the consequences will be...surrender to me or your death..."

You can download it from here or here.

Sector 7: Mobile Command Unit Pics

The Sector 7 side of the Transformers Marketing campaign has begun wtih a S7 "Mobile Command Unit" spotted at Cinema De Lux in Los Angeles. People that entered the van where shown a few scenes from the movie and profiles of "NBE"s Barricade and Bumblebee. Much like the website, the players involved in the van treat the Transformers threat as "real" and "warning" the public of the danger.

More pics are here.

Sector 7: New password - GRAVESEN

With the Wednesday release of the 4th issue of the Transformers Movie Preview comic comes a new Sector Seven password - GRAVESEN (not case sensitive). The only "update" that the new password provides is a new video, under the yield icon, that tells everyone that Agent Powers is no longer in charge as been re-assigned for failing to capture or kill Agent X. also no more email correspondence, communication done via paper, and rat out any co-workers acting wonky. Not sure how this adds to the S7 story.

Sector 7: New Emails

Today the Sector 7 site (byebyepowers) has updated with a new email and also sent out an email to various "customers". What it all means beats me. I am just hoping the new trailer is coming out soon.

From S7 site:

From: Suppressed
Subject: Protocol HK9233
Date Recieved: May 1 2007 10:49 (MST)
To: S7 Department of Network Security

As of now, we're initiating protocol HK9233: no electronic correspondence. The protocol will remain in effect until you receive the all-clear. I'm sending out an e-mail from "the company" explaining the shutdown to our "customers."

Simmons

The email sent out to "customers" is:

From: S7 security
To Whom It May Concern:

Due to the increased e-mails, as well as the intrusions into our proprietary
systems, our work here at Sector Seven has been slowed to a crawl. We're
simply trying to finish our newest computer game software on time, and yet
we continue to be inundated with strange queries and comments regarding
something called "N.B.E.s" and someone known as "Agent X." We have no idea
to whom or to what these terms refer.

As a result of this continuing drain on our resources, we're being forced to
shut down our e-mail system for the foreseeable future. Any e-mail sent to
us will bounce back. In addition, we're freezing our internal systems until
we can eliminate the "hackers" out there who think it's funny to screw
around with corporate networks.

If we can complete our work, we think you'll be very satisfied with the
result. Thanks for your patience.

Sector 7: New Agent X Email

The Sector Seven website has a new email with sound and repeating Flash file. Probably the fastest update yet for the site, just a few days after the last one. The sound file is the voice of Agent X (same as the recent podcast), which I am thinking is the Dr. Howard actress. Let audiophiles play with that to prove it.

Anyway, the email indicates Agent Powers is being watched and untrusted especially after his hormones in regards to Howard compromised security. The sound file and footage is the landing of "NBE-02" or Bumblebee to Earth. Thanks to the recent 3D card game, now know that Bumblebee does have a protoform (as do all TFs now) so it all fits together pretty nicely. Below is screenshot of the email.

New Stop Sector Seven Podcast

A new podcast is out, X9, that basically summarizes that S7 is starting a anti-stopS7 campaign, which has been referenced in the S7 email. Of note is it seems the voice of "Agent X" has changed. I don't think its Cullen doing the voice, assuming he was before.

To subscribe to the podcast via iTunes, click logo here or listen to the podcast directly from here.

Sector Seven: Hacked "Live" Camera Feed on Megatron

Using a link provided via "AgentX66" on the Sector Seven email "Informants" folder, you can find 3 "live" images of NBE01, the Mega-Man, or Megatron. I especially like the face profile view. I think on the Stop site, its just an animated gif but still good view of Megatron, I especially like the face profile view.

The camera "feeds" can be found here.
Based on the AgentX66 email and others, I now think the 5 surveillance array feeds are showing the various facilities that are used to maintain Megatron's frozen slumber. A failure there will be what wakens him enough to communicate with his Decepticon brethren to break him out.

The Voice of Starscream?

From the Stop Sector Seven site comes a report of a link on the Sector Seven site that seems to be an audio message from Starscream. The information came from "C0d3x" via an email. As a password it doesn't work on the S7 site.

Could this be the voice that will be in the film? If so, who is the voice as casting for Starscream has not been announced. It was rumored that Frank Welker has been cast in the movie as a Transformers other then Megatron, could this be it? Very interesting to say the least since the file is coming from an official movie related website.

Listen here.

To the best I can figure out what he says is:
"Attention Sector Seven. Starscream. The Allspark will be mine. Regardless of your intentions the face..." (or fate, rest garbled and I couldn't make out).

In checking the "Informants" box on Sector Seven, I found an email from "C0d3x" that actually mentions the above audio file. It just didn't provide the full path to the sound file so no one thought anything of it. Until now it was assumed that mailbox was fan email. Not it appears some of the email is directly related to the S7 game/mystery.

I received a weird "blip" from my SETI@home program, and I thought you might be interested. Be forewarned, I don't think this is good for anyone.

***authenticity unknown - flagged for further analysis***

Also there is an email from "Tsarscarme" an anagram for Starscream in the "Informants" mailbox on the site. It could be a fan email having fun but with this new audio file, maybe its legit. Not really sure one way or the other.

The email:

From: -

To the agency known as Sector Seven:

You are all fools. The entity known as NBE-01 is under your watch. And yet, your watch is a failure. Already his consciousness is active and leaking out onto what you call the "World Wide Web".

It is in your best interest to TERMINATE "Project Ice Man" as quickly as you can. Disassemble the Megaman to base components - or destroy him. After all, you creatures seem to learn best by taking things apart anyway - simply apply that logic to the Megaman in entirety. Disassemble him, and learn what you must - but avoid reassembling him AT ALL COSTS. Failure to do so will inevitably result in his reactivation - do not underestimate the innate power of Sparks. One day he may be listening in on the Internet; the next he may BE the Internet. Then you will be powerless to stop his rampage.

As well, I feel that I am obligated to warn you - the NBEs are after what you have dubbed "The Cube". Your best option at this point is to remove it from your world altogether - I suggest launching it out on a trajectory towards what you term "Martian space".

Lastly, and most importantly - DO NOT TRUST ANY NBE. Not even those who profess friendlyness. They are, in fact, the most dangerous of all.

Oh - and one last thing - give up on reverse engineering Megaman's technology. You don't want to provoke a SECOND encounter like that of Ghost-1.

-Tsarscarme

PS: Do your best to keep your "F-22" fighter project going! Quite the excellent warship, for a primitive species!

Other subject emails that I am now wondering might be "authentic" in regards to S7 include "AgentX66". Might be a few others but he is the one that jumps out. Thanks to the site readers for the links for the above information.

New Email On Sector 7 Site

The Sector 7 website has updated with two new additions (pw: byebyepowers). One is the 5th surveillance array is up, showing what looks like a power station for everything being displayed.

The second is a new email from Simmons, a character from the movie:

From: Suppressed
Subject: Re: Hungry Dragon 2 Ground Campaign
Date Recieved: Apr. 20 2007 10:26 (MST)
To: S7 Department of Network Security

The ground forces of the counter-information campaign will begin moving out very soon. Times and locations of specific operations will remain classified. Coordinate security with the field commanders. We'll have full-duplex audio and visual from all the mobile command centers.

Keep Powers out of the loop. We can't afford another leak. His fate will be determined as soon as the inquiry has been completed.

Simmons

Beats me what this is about. Best guess is the movie campaign is gearing up so might be related to that. Perhaps the release date of the final movie trailer online. Guess find out soon. Now 77 days of safety...

New Sector Seven Password: BYEBYEPOWERS

The Stop Sector Seven website, has revealed a new password for the main Sector Seven site: BYEBYEPOWERS (not case sensitive). Under the new login, the 4th surveillance array footage is now up, just more images of a sewer system. Starting to think this will become a flooded area at some point.

The only other addition is new video footage under the Yield symbol between Agent Powers and Dr. Howard. Its amusing in it begins with Powers primping before Howards gets on. In it she is attempting to negotiate an agreement to get reinstated and get worldwide experts to assist on the "N.B.E. situation." It ends with Sector Seven agents converging on her location (due to tracking device implant) and an unknown explosion. The other two videos are on the symbols to the right of the yield.

So now the order of passwords for Sector 7 is TAKARA83, THEFIRST7, NBETWO, FWIFFO, and now BYEBYEPOWERS

Update: Just read the Transformers Prequel #3 comics, its confiremd that Non-Biological Entity 2 is Bumblebee, not Optimus Prime as I had assumed. NBE 1 remains "Mega-Man" or Megatron. Also from the last years "Mars" teaser trailer, the Transformers seen by the Beagle is Starscream.

New Sector 7 Email

Another day, another update on the Sector 7 site. They are starting to speed things up it seems.

The email:
From: Restricted
Subject: RE: Agent SU Information
Date Recieved: Apr. 6 2007 11:34 (MST)
To: S7 Department of Network Security

I received your forwarded message from Agent SU about X's recent activity to blow the lid off our cover on this public site. First Howard escapes, now this. Powers is really getting on my nerves. I don't care whose nephew he is. If he doesn't capture or neutralize Agent X ASAP, he's toast.

With regard to this web site buzznet.com/groups/stopsectorseven, we need to send our agents there to question and discredit every piece of evidence they find. Put out the word. X must be stopped one way or the other. Especially considering the reports I'm getting regarding Operation: Seek & Destroy.

Simmons

P.S. Let me know the second Power screws up again.

So Powers in trouble. Next mistake gets replaced (maybe occur when days lab safe goes to 0?). No idea who Agent SU is nor Simmons. Curious what Operation: Seek & Destroy is. Perhaps directly related to the Sector 7 presence in the movie. The mystery continues...

New Dr. Howard Video On Sector 7

Sector Seven (password FWIFFO) has had a small update with a new video of Dr. Howard, under the yield sign. Before, the video was a quad view of her attempting to contact NBE 2 (Optimus Prime) and getting caught by security (now moved to the BioHazard icon). In its place is interregation footage between her and Agent Powers, who believes she knows who Agent X is. Agent X soon communicates with her while Powers is called away. From there its a conversation about how the people should know the truth about Sector 7, etc. She agrees to help and somehow escapes using low budget teleportation...the blackened screen.

Despite myself I am enjoying the continuing drama of the Sector 7 saga. Curious to see where going with it. Doesn't hurt that the actress playing Dr. Howard is easy on the eyes and doing a good job. Agent Powers, however, needs to continue his acting lessons. Now 61 days of safety...

Update: New email recieved from "X" that covers above events:

Date: Thu, 05 Apr 2007 16:18:12 -0700
Subject: StopSectorSeven
From: "X"
To: "X"
Agents:

I want to congratulate you on a successful beginning. I have seen your work and have been impressed. Especially with Master Fwiffo (who was the first to leak the Agent Weaving information) and takara83 (who was the first to join the evidence campaign), RisingDragon has also proved himself extremely valuable.

Now we must build on the foundation you've created. We need more. More evidence videos, photos, eyewitness accounts) and more dedicated crusaders to help expose Sector Seven. We can't win the information war if the public only listens to Sector Seven's lies. Just look at all the money they've already put into this counter-information campaign. Hundreds of millions. We don't have that kind of funding on our side. But we do have the truth, the will, and the technology to reach the entire free world. They may be able to silence some, but they cannot silence the entire world.

Sector Seven must be stopped. Spread the word.

And I just wanted to mention that we officially have a new ally in our struggle. I'm sure you'll all get to know her better in time.
