so far that's what I am able to understand with the numbers... the box ones, I still don't get it...

seems like the first group is a base-7 numerical system?

Thoughts on the first blog post:

The first image is a set of logic reasoning. Maybe Orein is trying to modify LAINSY's logic into a paradoxical state, in order to be able to do something that LAINSY would have originally prevented him to do?

The second image could be used to corroborate this theory. The X # O could be referring to tic-tac-toe, which if you've ever seen War Games was used to teach the big-bad-computer that there's no reason to play a game you can't win.

The first line of the 2nd image looks to me like it's indicating communication between Earth and a planet with 3 moons? The communication is somehow different from Earth-to-planet and planet-to-Earth, as indicated by the )) vs the <<.

The last line of the 2nd image looks strange but reminds me of an eye, a heart, and maybe a U? eye <3 U = I love you? An emotion? Maybe emotion is connected to LAINSY somehow?

In this post, the link.jpg: the Earth and the other planet are separated somehow, or there's some barrier between the two. But establishing some sort of link will cause the 2 planets to be able to cross that barrier?

I can't really make heads or tails of the numbers picture in the latest blog post.

[zeighy]

I've got a few friends look at the very first image on the blog, the one with the number sign in the middle. Here's a few things they think could be interpreted from it:

The top left symbol is most probably earth... an earth divided into half, they say you can tell it can be earth because of the lone "moon" beside it.

The top middle one is most probably a communication symbol, as the suggest. It's like sending and receiving something.

The top right symbol is the probably the other planet with three moons... that is if we've got the top left correctly.

on the middle line, the left one is an X probably telling wrong, the middle one is a grid, and the circle as something denoting correct...

on the last line, they don't have any idea what it can be... please note that these are just ideas, and maybe we can figure out a better picture here about the images...

Email from Dan:

Sorry it took me long to reply, we just finished a very long board meeting (tele-presence, of course) and mostly to make it short, we had to talk about the current problems the company is facing due to the outages, and this problem with Genus. For a moment in there, I felt I just had to say it that Alex was behind it all. But I just kept my mouth shut, for now until we have any conclusive evidence. I can actually show to the board. Emails and your testimony just won't work. So yeah, the board has then decided to put Alex in charge of the operation and me behind him. I felt such a waste for the efforts I have put into this investigation, and thankfully I saw your emails about cracking the transmission. I still can't say that I can figure out anything about the message aside from it giving so much importance to the images on the blog, if that's what it is actually pointing to. I can't set my staff to work on this, since I will have them to do tasks that Alex will have to give me, since I have to follow his orders. But, I want you guys to lay low and continue in helping me out. I know we can figure this out eventually, and hopefully before it's too late. I'll keep you posted when I have more information or something to give to you. Maybe for now, try to see what you can make out of the images on the site. There has to be something about it that we have to let LAINSY know, as the transmission says.

EDIT: And from Alex:

It took me a while to update you all with what's happening, and what happened while I was gone is that I am now in-charge of the operations here in the Antarctica Facility and I will also take over Miller's investigations about Orein. Don't worry, Miller will still work on this investigation, although he knows enough already to say that he can't do anything about this anymore. So, he just needs to cooperate with me. Orein has not sent me any instrcution or message, yet, so we still have nothing to do. Hopefully, we'll hear from him soon and we'll be able to continue the already arranged plans. I will keep you all updated, I know we can do this.

Shoot em in the balls punxtr! Good job latent! So we need to look for some symbols similar to what is on the blog. Think, think, think.

Well judging by the images, Orein might want us to give LAINSY the launch codes for an extrasolar satelite which I suppose is stationned at the Failtech-space facility that was mentionned before. The trajectory image kind of hints at the fact that the satelite (or object? maybe it's even Orein himself sitting in the rocket xD) is supposed to be catapulted via gravitational slingshot out of the solar system. Still loks kinda shifty to me, we might start up the whispher-project again by launching whatever it is into space. Maybe we could try and get some information about Failtech satelites from Dan or Alex?

That actually sounds very plausible- this whole time I was looking at the trajectory going the other way, that is, something on a collision course with Earth. XD

-lurklurklurk- I should be doing more productive things right now. >.>;

Paintball was painful and fun. I managed to hit my buddy in the balls too Unintentional, I assure you. Good job moth! I've been making some decent guesses at the numerology and symbology, but it's not quite right yet.

Anyway, I might be on less because I just found out someone broke into my car and took my garage door opener. So tonight I'll be watching my car with my rifle. My neighbor is a cop too, so hopefully he can just arrest him.

Anyways! I'll try and figure this out stat.

Hmm, so I guess that means that those images from Genus' blog are somehow what we're supposed to send to LAINSY?

OMG LatentMoths you rock.

EDIT - Got it at the same time! Deleting mine.
EDIT2 - Sent an email off to Miller.

Here's what I have...

Some Progress

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

IVIIITAWALEXISNOKYAVKILPXGIHKYHNXQGZZZLMAFZVQTDFWOHYLJINXKRCDICSSUADLYTUSOJZEXAZXLKORJAUUYIB VWTSZATFILYGIGHQVPJSRJMRJEYSGDKXYJYWDDSPTETKDTDDVFXJXRUGXMVGIVNMYGPUFFZCCXQNQELSUKEALUIMLK DVYURXAYF?JICZKSHMFDFX I have one letter different from posse's code which I have in bold. Also notice the ? towards the end. That's what the final decimal code translated to. It is most likely a mistake on my part in listening to the morse code. I couldn't get anything out of the enigma machine that made sense. Oh well I'm done for a while. Hopefully someone can do something with this.

Never mind...

Enigma Solution

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Rotors: I,V,III Starting Position: TAW Plugs: AL EX IS NO I used the rest of the code in previous spoiler. There were about three mistakes including the ? towards the end, but it was easy to see what the message was supposed to be. HAVE YOU SEEN THE IMAGES HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT TO DO HAVE YOU DONE WHAT YOU NEED TO I AM WAITING IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE I KNOW YOU CAN DONT FAIL ME NOW THE IMAGES ARE IMPORTANT IT SAYS WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND WHAT TO DO LAINSY NEEDS TO KNOW IT

[godder]

I can't reconcile that, except to say that Alex must be moving up the corporate ladder by any means necessary, including chewing up Daniel in the process.

I will be away from the computer for a while but I will check in periodically.

[zeighy]

I just realized, isn't Dan supposed to be like a founder of the company like Fred? Didn't Dan say he established the company with Fred way back? Meanwhile Alex just came into the company years after... I'm a bit confuused on who's supposed to be the boss here... Isn't Dan supposed to have some superiority here? Can someone clarify this to me....

[posse]

Checking in. I stopped decoding at 04:59 to check whether what punxtr and I have corresponds. There's some minor differences on both mine and punxtr's sides but they are nearly dead on. Basically what we've got so far is:

Quote:

IVIIITAWALEXISNOKYAVKILPXGIHKYHNXQGZZZLMAPZVQTDFWOHYLJINXKRCDICSSUA

where the bolded is what only I have (punxtr must have gone out to play paintball before he reached this point).

If it's an Enigma code, my first guess would be:
Rotors - IVIII (1/5/3, 4/1/2, 4/2/1)
Starting position - TAW
Plugs - AL EX IS NO KY (which spells out ALEX IS NOt OKaY)

Note that there's no "AAA" key which concerns me a little bit, and the fact that I haven't found a coherent message yet from an Enigma decoder. Anyone else got anything from this?

EDIT - I won't be able to revisit this until much later on tonight, so hopefully the 1st 5 minutes is enough to go on. I've attempted to decode up to 04:59.

[godder]

Did you also notice that there isn't just police radio chatter going on? There seems to be audio from old space missions. Specifically I heard "the eagle has landed" from Apollo 11 from the moon. It was as I was decoding from 8 minutes on so it has to be between 8 and 9 minutes or so. Interesting.
