I don't know if there's anywhere to go with this, but that gibberish looks more like broken source code.. for an example, open up a Word document, paste in some random text, and then open it up in Notepad.
I've also seen it before in e-mails when someone tries to code out a graphical presentation and it doesn't work over e-mail, i.e. credit card ads and Viagra junk mail.
But maybe I'm just forgetting some encryption method.. I'm still fresh to the game of ARGs.

Thanks guys for helping out. Also, it might be a good idea for those of you that have MySpace to add tehskye to your friends and start having some convos with him too. It seems he has also been getting messages from Dr. Bottan. Maybe one of you can get him to forward you a copy of it.
Also, someone see if Lucid will forward the audio file that he got from Dr. Bottan to you.
They keep talking about the gibberish Dr. Bottan sent them, I wonder if it's the same as the one Lucid forwarded to me here.
Maybe we need to figure out what that mess says. I was thinking maybe Stu could help us with that.

I think we should do it man, but I don't think it can be this week. I have Monday off, maybe we can get him to meet us at a casino on Monday night?
This is a comment from Jacob to Lucid.

Yeah, I thought that was odd. Rather... unprofessional. Childlike?

Hey fencer, I already sent 2 names to Dr. Bottan yesterday. Nextday and shrtysctt. Sorry homes.
I made this post the other day, and was like "Oh crap" after I re-read it today. I double-checked and I didn't sent those names to Dr. Bottan. It was a typo. Thank God. I sent those 2 names to L.U. to nominate them as good prospects for becoming moles. Just wanted to clarify that.
Also, I'm working on a new report to Bowty due tomorrow. As always, any input is welcomed.

Alright so I sent this to Jacob. I might have sent him 2 messages on accident because I thought MySpace was being dumb. The first message says basically the same thing. Hopefully it gets through.

I saw you are getting messages from a crazy doctor. I am getting them too! I tried writing you a message earlier but I think MySpace did not send it correctly. Anyway I am so glad to finally find someone else to talk about all this to other then Sylvia (On the roster I am the second one, Alex).I was starting to think I was crazy! I saw that Bottan wants to see you in person...that is creepy dude. Definitely do not go alone to that meeting.
I remember you said you were not sure where you wanted to meet him. I have an idea of a good place to meet him that I saw in a movie once. Tell him to meet you in a public pool or something like that! It is a public place and since everybody has got to wear swimming trunks there is no place to hide anything, like a gun or worse yet a container with a virus inside. Its a strange idea I know but this guy seems like he is straight out of a movie, so you never know, he may take it.
Good Luck at the meeting and please let me know how things turn out.

it couldn't hurt. At least do some interaction cause I feel like I'm the only one doing so.
Here is today's correspondence between me and Jacob.

It's all cool. I hadn't heard from you in awhile and was wondering where you were and if you were OK.

Oh, Ha!
You came off like you were yelling at me or something O.o .
But man, I've been sick lately. Like today I was throwing up. Hope it's not the virus. (j/k)
Quote:
I hope it's not the virus too. I don't want to think about that. Hope you get feeling better soon. Sorry, if it sounded like yelling. I just wanted to make sure you are still with us.
Besides the fact that i've just been sick for like the last couple of weeks straight (I hate being sick) ((It might actually be allergies)), I guess Dr. Bottan contacted my buddy Luis and asked him to meet us somewhere. I don't know when we're going to do it, since i'm going to be working all this week, except for friday. I'm thinking we should meet him up though. Get to the bottom of all of this madness. Plus, the only way we're going to meet him in person is if we meet him somewhere like a casino, where it's public and he can't drag us off into the night and do weird experiments...
So, it shouldn't be a big deal. Just gotta figure out when we can go.

Do you think lucid is waiting for us to give him a suggestion on where to meet bottan? We have not been interacting with the myspace characters that much, so maybe this is the pm getting us to interact more with Jacob and co.

This should be interesting. Jacob will be able to see exactly what Bottan looks like, acts like, sounds like, etc. I wonder how the Dr. will react since he thinks Jacob is his 'daughter'?

I don't know where or when Bowty wants me to meet up with him, just need to let him know if I'm down or not...
There was an attachment with this email this time, an audio recording, since I'm behind in terms of tasks and such, he requested that I meet him in person in order to make up for the lack of tasks I've done, here in Vegas... or "Sin City" as he put it. I figured to myself, sure, why not, but there's no way I'm meeting him by myself, and in some weird location, it'd have to be in a casino or something, and I gotta convince Jacob to tag along since he's been a part of this too.
Anyways... we'll see how this meeting goes!

Wait what? He wants to meet you? Where did he say he wanted to meet you at, exactly?

(Sorry for the double post).
Hope this isn't a trout, but new post on Jacob's page--

Not much has been happening over the last couple of days. I mean, i've had the last two days off so I was just hanging out and all, but in regards to everything with Dr. Bottan, it seems to have gone limp. I wonder what's next? I know i'm supposed to be involved with the forum that's going to come up, but what's the next task going to be? Is it going to be just taking pictures of stuff or are we supposed to go out and do something?
I guess we'll see in time.

Aw T_T
LOL, jk. I'll still try to wean as much info out of him as I can, and post what goes on in our little 'forum' that the acolytes are going to be having

Hey Natas--
Seeing as I'm an acolyte, I might be able to get more information from Dr. Bottan, since acolytes now have *special privileges*. I'll be a mole
