THE PEN

THE_PEN
THE PEN, published unlisted on June 16, 2015. The title THE_PEN is a homonym, meaning both "PENitentiary and "PEN" — since this is the first time tinman 'writes' in the audio's spectrogram.

The url for THE_PEN was deciphered, using UBCHI bruteforce, from a scrambled single-frame string of text found in TIN_6LRU. The audio message of TIN_6LRU stated: "Her fate is yours..."

The fated woman can be seen in a cell, behind bars, held against her will. She hits at the wall repeatedly, in the hope of attracting attention.  THE_PEN has since been removed and the link provided is an archived copy .

Almost a year later, March 9, 2016, tinman published TIN_ROOM in which a message stated: "Her end was the beginning as above so below..."

During this time, decoders failed to progress sufficiently to save the woman.

Therefore, it is likely now redundant, and its removal signaled the end her fate. THE_PEN is heavily distorted with static and interference, in the distortion an image of tinman can be seen in negated colors. The image is similar to the one used in his profile image

THE_PEN's Audio and Spectrogram
THE_PEN's audio, which can be downloaded here, contains no discernible hidden audio message.

However, the audio's spectrogram contains the message: "MY SACRIFICE".

A quick tutorial on how to display this is provided here. The "sacrificial" role of the captive woman, has not been determined.

And her relationship to tinman is, as yet, unknown.
