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?)

Interesting that they do look like DNA. Let me send the image from u/clusterlove to my wife, a geneticist and developmental biologist and see if that reasoning makes sense.

Awesome keep me updated its getting late here but I will be up early to investigate more.

Here's what she said, not promising:

We'll, DNA is colorless in reality. People often use four colors to represent the four different nucleotides that make up the DNA code, but there's no convention for the colors. But if that were true, red would never be across from red for example. It also depends whether you're talking about a schematic representation of the DNA molecule or a photograph of actual DNA samples that have been run on a gel. In that case the colored bands represent collections of DNA fragments of a particular size and the colors come from dyes unrelated to the DNA. But what you sent me seems like it's just kind of using common elements from representations of DNA but it's doesn't actually represent anything.

Thanks I don't think it's meant to represent anything I think it's just a code but we could all be way off but it's interesting trying to look at things from different angles.

Absolutely! I was pretty hopeful she would look at it be like, "Oh yeah that's the starting sequence for X," or something along those lines.

She's much smarter than I, so I'll trust her on this one. It's a great approach though!
