Asked - he's been replying pretty quickly so far! Just looking forward to this all going somewhere so that I can be successful in my first ARG!

I'm not a genius, guys. We're all here to help, and my expertise is not greater than anyone else's. Just because I didn't find anything does not mean you won't.
Now, what godofchicken did was smart. It's the same method I tried on Facebook, but their procedure and protocol is just too good...
Edit--Ask him if email attachments are unfiltered again. I couldn't send my signed NDA last night.

Sorry to double post, but he's asked if there's anything unrestricted he could help with - any ideas?

My fault entirely! I'm not used to using these forumy jobs! I asked the man about the Antarctic facility, and got
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Email seems to be running ok today. Seems to be unaffected by the website and network outages. I feel sorry for our Support Team in charge of handling calls as they have no work today. Or maybe I kinda envy them for not having work today? Our phone lines are down as well so email is the only way to go.
Anyways, I am not aware of any facility in the Antarctic. Why would FAILTECH have a facility down there? I mean, wouldn't it be too hard for FAILTECH and employees just to work down there? Unless of course FAILTECH has something of interest down there. But then again, all of our four FAILTECH facilities where most of the company's research and development are performed are undisclosed even to us. Only office locations are made available to the public, and to us office employees so I can't really say anything about any of our FAILTECH facilities other than it's where most of our research and developments are done.

Hey, godofchicken, was there supposed to be something in that second, empty spoiler tag, or was it just a site error? Just want to be sure we're not missing anything you found out.

Howdy all - been emailing back and forth with Patrice Heinz of the support team all day.
I managed to find that they have offices in
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Toronto (main office), New York, San Francisco and Detroit
.
The full email correspondence is below - they've emailed a CEO and a couple of other new addresses on my behalf, so I'm waiting to hear back.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Usually I would direct you to our website for that information as our website contains a comprehensive list of all our office locations worldwide. However, I've only been to two offices, and that would be here in our Main Office in Toronto, and another one New York. I've heard we also have another in San Francisco and Detroit. And another one overseas would be in London.

Actually, one more thing. Are you aware of the locations of the other offices? I need to log them on a spreadsheet but my supervisor was not available.
Sorry but such information is restricted and only LAINSY Trained Technicians, LAINSY Development and Programming Department members, and the highest ranks of FAILTECH has access to it. And that excludes me. If you are one of the new technicians they have to fix our network problems, I'd recommend waiting for my Support Manager's response and he'll be able to direct you to the persons you may need to contact.

Patrice,
You have been extremely helpful - one of the reasons I needed the level 3 security password was to work with LAINSY, as I am a specialist in Artificial Intelligences and technolinguistics - however, I am not aware of the full limitations / specifications of LAINSY. Are those available?
Thank you. I was just doing my job. I hope the people at the Colorado office was as well. Also our Support Manager is currently out and will back at work in a few hours. It might take a while before he can respond so I apologize for this inconvenience. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Patrice,
Many thanks for your help - you seem to be the most helpful person in this organisation! I haven't seen another soul in twenty minutes! Hopefully you'll get a promotion soon!
I am not allowed to provide any password over email to any employee at any circumstance. It is as described on my FAILTECH Support Standard Procedure Guidelines. Also, I do not have any Level 3 password as I am only a Level 2 Security Clearance Employee.
I have CCed our Support Manager and hopefully he can figure out how to you help with this. I am sorry on behalf of the company of any substandard company welcome our Colorado Office has provided you. I have BCCed one of our Board of Directors so that he is made aware of such substandard employee treatment. Also, I have CCed our Company Feedback department so that they can address this issue with our Colorado Office.
And again, welcome to FAILTECH and I hope you enjoy you time with us.

Patrice,
Unfortunately I never received an Employee Welcome Package - the induction here was so bad even my supervisor never told me his name! Do you have a list of level 3 supervisors so I could find out which one mine was?
As for the Colorado office, it doesn't seem new - I was hoping to join to do some R&D, but ended up with administrative work instead - still, I need that password!
As described in your FAILTECH Employee Welcome Package you should contact your Superior or Supervisor for such needs. The Support Team cannot provide such details to you. This is a FAILTECH Standard Procedure and failure to comply in such procedures may put your job and the company at risk. Don't worry, your supervisor has not been informed of this since you are new. Congratulations on your new job!

Hi guys,
New on staff here, just working temp in the Colorado office, but I seem to have mislaid my level 3 security clearance password - any chance you can set me up with a temporary one just so I can get on and finish what needs doing? The guys up top will have my head otherwise!
Cheers

What was the gibberish?
Maybe the message is further hidden (read it backwards, anagram, stuff like that). If that's the case, one of us might see it where you didn't.

I already translated it, and it's gibberish. But maybe you can find something I overlooked.

Has anyone looked closely at the Buzzer Codes and Alarm Messages page? The sequence of buzzers looks like something to me. I'm thinking morse code. I'll work on that when I can and see if anything comes of it.

It would appear they used "oneandone Private Registration"
No useful information is there.

Yeah, but we are still going to need to figure out the password and it seems like those only come when we have a signal to decode. Maybe there is something we are missing?
The fact that Richard Manning is level3? Can we try asking for his login? Quite far-fetched, but maybe worth the shot.
I feel hesitant to ask... I'd rather figure out where this technology is being held, so that we can gain more info on that site.
