Probe reports ship has NO crew on board. Internal system logs indicate ship has been traveling for 21 years. Last 10 automated logs with known crew on board as follows:
22/03/2028:00:13:37GMT :: PROXIMITY WARNING! UNKNOWN ship approaching. Currently 23 minutes away.
22/03/2028:00:36:02GMT :: PROXIMITY WARNING! UNKNOWN ship approaching. Currently 10 minutes away.
22/03/2028:00:46:21GMT :: PROXIMITY WARNING! UNKNOWN ship approaching. Currently 2 minutes away.
22/03/2028:00:49:45GMT :: PROXIMITY WARNING! COLLISION PATH DETECTED! 10 seconds before unavoidable collision!
22/03/2028:00:50:00GMT :: ALL SYSTEMS OK! NO DAMAGE!
21/03/2028:00:50:00GMT :: 24 hours elapse since last crew input
25/03/2028:00:50:00GMT :: 3 days elapsed since last crew input
01/04/2028:00:50:00GMT :: NO CREW DETECTED! Activating subroutine 1. Powering down systems for optimal crewless operation.
02/04/2028:00:50:00GMT :: Analysis completed. Cartograph updated. Plotting optimal course for EARTH.
02/04/2028:00:50:01GMT :: Energy survey completed. Optimal energy consumption and speed determined for subroutine 1. Estimated 1% energy left upon arrival to Earth.
That sounds interesting. What the hell happened to the ship that hit them? Did that leave too? It's not in the logs above.

So it looks like both of the hidden text are the same (though the black is SO much easier to read)
Also I've been looking into the J. Espina email (Didn't know if anyone else was). I've made initial contact, but I'm trying to proceed carefully (As I always seem to cause very bad things in this ARG. lol)
One interesting fact though that I got from Nathan:
Quote:
J. Espina or Joshua Espina is a Security Officer I at our Hawaii Facility. He worked for us for about 4 months before the incident. He seemed to be fairly cautious person, and untrusting, making him fairly fit for the position. Additionally, he has a fine background in the field. His resume included some references from FAILTECH and a short lived job experience with FAILTECH in the 90s. I assume that detail is helpful?

Not sure if I missed this detail or if they added this from the last time I saw the site...
http://www.failtechnologies.com/ still has the same video loop thing, but after a couple of loops there is a red text that shows up very very quickly that I can't manage to get a screenshot. I think there's also another in black text, but it's fairly quick, so if anyone has the skill maybe you could help out and get a screen...
EDIT: They're a bunch of numbers that seems like hex...
Hey this is pretty cool, I sent the hallway image to LAINSY and asked if it recognized anything. LAINSY's reply:
Quote:
LAINSY: Image processed. Best match is service hallway 2-7 of Toronto Headquarters. Items identified in image:
MNT-22 door
Office Buzzer
Hot and Cold Water pipes
Electrical Conduit 22, 23, 24, 25, mntl-0048, mntl-0049, mntl-0050, mntl-0060, mntl-0061, mntl-0062, mntl-0063, mntl-0064
Energy Conduit A
Hydraulic Piping 11

Service Hallway Notice: If you hear the buzzer, halt all activities and proceed to Stairwell G to exit. Your alternate exit is Stairwell F via Service Hallway 2-6. If all exits are unavailable, remain at hallway and await instructions.

Morse from agenttrans.mp3
This is a long one and hopefully doesn't break the screen layout too much...
I only left the single natural break in there after 2A that was in the original message since I wasn't sure if it would be relevant. It's too late for me to figure out what it means though.

Wow nice job cherrytree! I'm just going to add the SSTV image that you found the PIN code from. Nice eye!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's blurry but you can make out the number 22 on the door and the number 73 near the ceiling.
The letters on the door, do they spell out anything? It's pretty blurry to me.

Just started decoding the Morse but so far I've got the same letters except for that last one -- instead of U I hear 2? As far as the message goes, nothing jumps out at me yet. Anyway I will have work on the rest of the Morse later.

The image for the SSTV was this:
Edit: And Unforum and Photobucket will not deal with the photo. You guys will just have to trust me.
Which gives you the PIN for the 45460 slot:

All it says for the moment is to wait for further instructions to be uploaded into the slot.

Someone else will probably want to get on board with it.

aahhh!! I've figured Fred's clues now!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
he mentions "significant digits" so 05649 is actually 5649 without the leading zero. And, from there plug in 5649 as HEX and a text will come up as 'VI'
and once logged in you are shown a agenttrans.mp3 file... which sounds like it has sstv and morse...
I'll leave the rest for you guys!
Anyhow, I live close to Toronto, not sure if I can go... it depends on WHEN and WHERE exactly... I will email Dan and ask....

Maybe we're supposed to put it through the same process multiple times?
There are lots of ways you can say Roman Numerals though and depending on what process you go through they actually may want the "number" the Roman Numerals stand for.
Just my thoughts on the puzzle.

Hello! It's pretty quiet on my end. I've still been talking to Fred Don since I'm trying to figure out just how to access the file on the Agent Portal. Hopefully there's no time limit involved in this since I'm pretty busy these days. It doesn't help that I'm stumped. Any ideas here?
I heard "Roman value in hex of your slot" which I though would mean 05649 = 1611 (hex) and then 1611 = MDCXI in Roman numerals. But using 05649/MDCXI as login/password doesn't work.
Here's Fred Don's clue:
Quote:
Think over it. They appear as instructions but are mere suggestions. Pickout the keywords and try again. A little help wouldn't hurt. I can't tell you everything directly as any eavesdropper may easily recognize what we're talking about. Be keen as answers aren't as straightforward as they appear. Adding or removing unnecessary items to significant digits often work. Then maybe you can work with it if you are in pairs, after all sixteen can't be divided by three and big answers can be made into small ones.
Read it out in your head until the clues fit together. "A dim bulb can be brightened if you put more energy into it." That's one quote I've heard from Jean Klein. I hope you're familiar of her, she is quite exemplary.
I have like zero time to work on this at the moment. Help please!

Well that's weird, because I haven't gotten a single IG email for quite a while. Checked my junk, too. Nathan Book never got back to me.

Hello, hello! Been lurking on this one for a bit. Just waiting for a good op to insert myself into the choas as I have a bit more free time lately. Anyways Dan sent me an email just awhile ago:
Quote:
Hello! We've come up with a recent development, you see we found a good lead regarding the Nox Ordo. It seems they have something up at Toronto. Our friend Patrice has informed us about a possible information exchange in the next few days. Are you close to the area or know anyone who could possibly help? Patrice can't at the moment so we'll have to rely on someone on our experts team (which you are) to appear fairly covert to intercept. We can't send any of our employees or personnel as you know they might already be known by the Nox Ordo, after all they have infiltrated the company.
If you are ok to help or know anyone who can help, let me know!
