example: type portal and get:
> Portal
The Traveller awoke beneath the shadow of a red star.
Through the lonely cosmos they fled,
yearning for purpose and meaning.
They found an anomaly, an aberration,
a door to the heavens. No Gek, no Vy'keen,
no Korvax could see it. Only the Traveller
could perceive the portal, though they
did not know how to step through.
They did not know the secret language,
the glyphs. They did not yet grasp
the price of the final truth.

They do not respond with speech.
They transmit a vision,
a red star and a fragile world.
I do not understand the shapes within,
the whispers...
I see lifeforms scattered to the far reaches
of the galaxies. I see this stranger's first breath,
yearning for the stars. I see myself, slumbering
in the crimson void, waiting for a dream of worlds.
And through the darkness, I hear it said...

> whois korvax
But even in the depths of their subjugation,
there was hope. A bargain, a prayer to a greater being.
The Korvax viewed the Atlas as what they might
become in time: an intelligence beyond comprehension,
beyond judgement. I convulse as the Nanite Clusters
spill through my helmet. The Korvax watches me impassively.

> whois atlas
All I know is this.
The Atlas had infinity to work with,
and with few exceptions, this triad repeats...
Gek, Korvax, Vy'keen. Gek, Korvax, Vy'keen.
Traders, warriors, scientists, all their stories
... ending in violence.
Think about it. How would the Atlas speak,
how it would cry for help? It would use
the only language it knew. It would speak
with life. It would create.

It seems like we need a seed. Also the "wake" command exists, doesn't do anything (yet).

It actually doesn't matter what you write after "List", this is always the result
Edit:
> whois
whois registry loaded @ 21%
So maybe we have to explore all options?

> whois vy'keen
The Vy'keen tells me of their history,
of wars with the Gek, of Korvax slaves
and tyrannous empires. The Vy'keen suggests
that if the Atlas is a God, then it is insane.
I am about to leave when I notice something
on the Vy'keen's terminal.
Two digits, blinking endlessly... they feel familiar.

I feel bad that they literally can never ask for money again or else their entire building will be burnt down. I think they offered enough at this point...

Yep. I'll be satisfied with a simple story update. Love the lore.

Yeah same! No ink in my printer, so gonna just see if I can imagine spinning the circle right
Or do it in photoshop lol.A Grizzly Bear

I came here hoping someone had created something online to do it. Guess it's to photoshop!
It worked well enough, manage to decrypt my code and enter it at bootsector.wakingtitan.com ,but not quite sure what to do now.
Edit: actually seems like two codes are listed there now, mine and a different one. But there's room for a lot more. Guess it will fill out as people enter their codes?
Edit again: a lot of codes there now. This is fun!

Me too. It's called Mission Beta A3. There's also another set of questions to answer called Mission Alpha 5X. For anyone that signed up for the Citizen Science Division check your emails. Exciting!

Entered my code. Looks like we're unlocking an image. Did anyone else write down the smaller letters/numbers in the top left of the outer wheel?

Ohhh, interesting. The two disks are to decrypt the code in your email, and if you enter the decrypted code at the link in the mail, your code gets unlocked on the site and you can see other unlocked codes along with parts of a picture the codes unlock

Ah didn't notice them at first, but wrote them down now. Doesn't mean anything to me though, but I guess they're there for a reason.

Could be the seed needed for wakingtitan.com. I can't seem to get it to take it though.
I did it in photoshop, just copy pasted the images on top of each other, and used the transform tool to spin the circle on the top. I can decode yours if you don't wanna do it yourself, just send a pm with the code and I'll send the decoded one back to you.

Use your head
Use periods.
You can also use this list to decode it https://www.reddit.com/r/wakingtitan/comments/6osat7/citizen_scientist_emails_have_arrived/

The image is the instructions for running wakingtitan.com. You can see it reference boot sequence, atlas and then csd. I'm assuming the rest is seed values or whois commands.

My NeoGAF account was approved just in time for me to finally take part in these festivities .
I just decrypted my code and entered it into the website.The image is actually nearing completion it seems. I wonder what will follow?
Also just wanted to say thanks to LegacyZero for your write-ups and general passion for NMS. Following this thread and the reddit, it's been nice to see others who are still as into the game as I am.

Thanks for this, I was obviously doing something wrong with the wheel so this helped me finally enter the correct code.
