The legendary Puzzle Queen coin_artist recently did a presentation about her past puzzles and talked a bit about the future of Neon District. Around the same time, the Neon District trailer dropped.
Presentation:
Here's the deck I used during my keynote on crypto puzzles. WHAT IF THE SLIDE DECK WAS ALSO A PUZZLE. https://t.co/ayzxagpbKe pic.twitter.com/Vn5QCai4Bj

Technical Log: M-2118
Architect: Erling, I thought you said you fixed that line of code. It's doing it again. pic.twitter.com/5EADUzNyqP— Neon District (@neondistrictRPG) August 29, 2018
We had looked at the binary already, but we didn’t dive too deeply into it or consider there was even a puzzle there until there were talks that we missed a trailhead somewhere. Taking another look at it, we discovered that the [dark green binary had data](https://i.imgur.com/X5e1ynT.png) in it.
Binary:
`01000011010
01001111010
01000111010
00110001010
00110011010
00110100010
00110111010
00101101010
00110001101
01000101010
00100000000`
Ascii: COG1347-1
At the same time we noticed that the Neon District website JS file changed and a new command was added to the terminal. This terminal is used in another ND puzzle that hasn’t been solved yet. To open the terminal you use the Konami code (UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A). Typing `help` you now get a new command: `load [program..] load and deploy cog`.
Typing `load COG1347-1` you get the [following](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/406833950418403330/484516962597077012/unknown.png):
>$ load COG1347-1
> [==========> ] 38% HALTED
> Program Compiling.
> Tentative Completion: 9/7/2018, 7:30:00 AM
#It sounds like there is something happening in 9/7!
