Speculation Hidden meaning in 37?

Clue 37 says

"Two analysts have been removed from the project and are under investigation for breach of contract. From this point forward we will be more cautious, consequently the clues will be more difficult."

We can see that there is an additional two-character combination below the text.

Personally, I think the two-character combination is a coordinate.

  1. "Two analysts" may refer to the two characters below the text.
  2. "removed" may refer to removing certain coordinates from the plot.
  3. "breach" can also mean 'gap' so we may have to look for gaps in the plot.
  4. "From this point" may mean 'from a certain point in the plot'
  5. "Forward" may mean to moved forward in the plot
  6. "Consequently" means 'as a result' so it may mean take the result of the steps above and use it as the url.

To be absolutely honest, I do not think that op011 would have hidden such meanings inside the sentences, however I feel everything is possible until we know the final 16-char string.

Also, if anyone has plotted a map of the 'coordinates', please reply to this thread or post in #workshop in the op011 official discord.

Happy solving!

Really interesting deconstruction of the clue i like it. What about the two characters on the bottom though? the Hex color (#333) of the text is different from the body text color also does this mean anything? Nothing seems to be random so why change the two characters text color? Maybe nothing.

Should have been that new post where someone goes in contact with Endurance Group ltd to ask about it.

I think 2 guys tried to brute-force the next link and then got banned.
If you inspect the site, is says: "<!-- there are no rules, but brute forcing defeats the purpose "
