Forge (Ω)

The Forge is a listing of various services and assets used by the KGB. On this page are various assets with their respective connection statuses, base and seed information, along with other technical stuff.

## Details

Much of the Forge's inner workings are still obscured. From Seeninunseen's testimony, the Forge could be used as a way to access different sections of the KGB's network. Considering the logs seen next to the skull throughout the events of the seal.dusk, it is likely forges, or akin machines are a necessary component of gateways. A forge-like machine was also seen on the Silent Moth site at /hex.

The omega forge would routinely be extinguished as forging sources were relocated:

At some point the Forge was updated with a new layout:

At the bottom of the page reads "Let those who came after see to that their names are not forgotten. Farewell, Ι", signed Γ or Gamma. The passage is also signed with a link to the *Lament for I* video, composed by Γ.

The message and lament by gamma coincides with the words **compromised** in iota's asset status. It is alleged that 33131 was involved in iota's compromise.

## Forge Protection Shield

The Forge Protection Shield is a firewall of sorts that works to block access to the Omega gate based on statuses called SET. Based on communication logs from Seeninunseen, SET stood for Synchronistic Event Test.

One instance of the Forge Protection Shield revealed a long bit of obfuscated javascript:

## Theories

As discussed by Seeninunseen, the constantly updating base and seed information was not accidental. According to Seen, "by looking at them, you changed the chain." and that solvers could "find out how the forge works and calculate t-1". Allegedly, a change was made to the Forge whenever it was accessed and an instruction manual could be found in the Terminal 9151.
