Malaysia Drop Updates!

I got in contact with a Taiping native, and he's agreed to go check the rest stop today (at some point).

He was concerned that it was dangerous, so I sent him pictures of the other drops to assure him it wasn't.

I gave him my personal email, told him to email pictures of anything he finds, and also to wait until he got home to open it if it's a black envelope, and if he needs help to go to the IRC chan.

He knows IRC, that's where I found him. Wiki has been updated on the Malaysia drop page with transcript of the conversation and status.

And we got bunch of new messages and new drop this time in Malaysia

How we found it:

This really looks like people are still using the chop-bit-4 setting (which is wrong). The gibberish output (with chop-6) is still normal, as far as I can tell (and would result in something like "4&8*0004" or something)

Quote:

If I had to venture a guess it is because PM quickly realized that one of his numbers was not correct and turned it off until he could correct it.

Edit:
After we called all those numbers Agent system was disconnected with siren like noise. during playing with ABISM prompt at MD it went back up and Agent number 4 was different.
We noticed 2 differences:

http://dialer.otp22.com/2013-02-19%2003-44%20UTC%20-%20202-999-3335%20-%204.wav

1. xxx-xxx-0004 is now 314-266-0004, so it isnt private number anymore

2. so the new message on 4 starts with 44 131 569 0004 uk country code

Code:

44 131 569 0004 303 309 0004 314 266 0004 769 307 0004 931 516 0004 254 589 0004 860 323 0004 559 397 0004 859 405 0004 740 617 0004 850 632 0004 609 456 0004 540 931 0004 224 521 0004 903 331 0004 417 295 0004 234 222 0004 769 305 0004 769 553 0004 769 287 0004

If we chop off 5th or 6th bit we get " So message would be "[nine]".

All these three drops are again near geocaches, Check geocaching webpage for more photos, logs and reviews of the surrounding area.
Note that OTP has probably no connection with goecaching, we stumbled on this by accident when we found geocache on Long Island while we were looking for our component drop. Might be that some of the people placing drops are geocahers.

We have new strange song. We named it Hawaii song.

Wiki article: http://otp22.referata.com/wiki/Agent_Systems/Investigation#HawaiiMusic

http://dialer.otp22.com/2013-02-13%2022-26%20UTC%20-%20202-999-3335%20-%2026037183.wav

Full Spectogram (no deatails in this one)
http://i.imgur.com/GFqYm3d.png



Agent number 26037183 came from back of the book Molds and Lichens of Nova Scotia found in Knights of Pythia cemetery.
It was found on the banknote found on same location two weeks earlier.






This song is only thing on we got from two visits of that drop location. (besides ATA ram memory card that is useless and as we heard during "keep alive" code wasnt part of the drop at all, we were not supposed to take it at all). There must be some data in it.
Oregon drop, Knights of Pythia visit No 1
Oregon drop, Knights of Pythia visit No 2





I wonder why there is number (709) 700-0122 mentioned again, that number contain scramblers (that are now almost solved) and currently isnt transmitting anything.
http://dialer.otp22.com/2013-02-27%2000-58%20UTC%20-%20709-700-0122%20-%209%23.wav

First of all, congrats Syncopal on a sucessful drop recovery!

Secondary, bambusar is doing a truly amazing job of keeping this thread up to date and I regret not following it until now.


And lastly some meta thoughts. The scope of this ARG and the apparent resources that should have gone into it baffle me, it's way more than your typical run-of-the-mill text-based game (or maybe I'm just overestimating the costs of using those phone lines for so long, which is something I don't know very much about). I don't doubt for a second that it's an ARG, but I wonder what it could be about. Games with good production values usually tend to be part of promotional campaigns for movies and whatnot, but they are usually shorter. This game reminds me in some ways about the Junko Junsui ARG, which also had high production values, but wasn't promoting anything (it was a CV-building effort by a man named Patrick Marckesano).

[Syncopal]

Cheers! @ArsenicLupin!
