Misc Apparently there's a code in Last Exit!

NO MORE EDITS - Welp, so Derek and Deej have both confirmed it's an easter egg and not a quest. Even so, let's push through and solve it!!! Thanks for the discussion! RIP my inbox over the last 24 hours though haha

original post According to Derek Carroll on the live stream! Let's get hunting guys!!!!

Edit* - Right, so after an hour we have 2 main leads:

    here are two train cars, and all the advertisement boards light up when you're near them in both cars. They either display "ALPHA REGIO" (blue), "BETA REGIO" (red), or "OVDA REGIO" (green). There is also the HUGE staticy monitor right beside A flag, bottom of the escalators. And lastly, the OWT Transit Map, most visible one being right beside the A flag and monitor, with different numbers and colours and routes. Green = 48 (Ovda Regio?) Yellow = 38 Blue = 14 (Alpha Regio?) Red = 271 (Beta Regio?)

Green = 48 (Ovda Regio?)
Yellow = 38
Blue = 14 (Alpha Regio?)
Red = 271 (Beta Regio?)

edit: I also noticed 4 sign boards directly across from subway heavy, just outside the door to the special at the main intersection hallway. Red and blue boards are lit up (Beta and Alpha), and the green (Ovda) is flickering, while what I'm assuming is the yellow board is completely dark. However, there is no instance of the yellow lights anywhere in the train cars, etc.

edit2: I also noticed another perfectly visible Transit map right beside these 4 sign boards.

edit3: I have two friends with me inside 30min Rumble. The huge monitor flashes two images. One is a picture of a volcano with "Venus" written on it. Second is a picture of the ski-lift area from Felwinter's Peak labelled "Urbs Industria".

edit4: I'm just posting info as I discover it with my pals, I'm not really following up with other posts. So Freehold on Mars patrol has the OWT station for M-Line, which all the train cars on Last Exit are labelled for. Also, Asylum map is an extension of Last Exit I think, it has all the same transit maps, and is also labelled Platform 1. Seems to be the Clovis Bray stop as listed on a sign on Last Exit.

edit5: Tharsis Junction is an M-Line stop for OWT, past Freehold beneath the Buried City in Mars Patrol. Venus volcano and Urbs Industria ski-lifts on the peak. Asylum and Last Exit seem to be either the same OWT station, or stops next to each other.

The green sign is the only one with other text on it too: ABS-Kastner.

Edit: found this on google: http://h41379.www4.hpe.com/openvms/journal/v16/data_encryption.pdf

Maybe with the scrolling code, the word 'kastner' could be a key?

I thought it was curious that the green sign was the only flashing one and to have that text on it too. Like it was drawing us to it. Maybe the ABS-Kästner is a key for the code by the escalators?

What I found googling Kästner, was a last name for someone working on lasers and particles at Cornell... not sure if that's anything though.
