All through email. The RAQ line is the one reached through the 302 number.

I recorded the call so I can post it and get the numbers written down whenever. I just don't know what's monitored and I want to see what else I can get out of them.


i would tend to agree, go as far as you can before posting your personal codes you've gotten. That way others don't call and somehow end your chances of "ascension"

 		I took a long look at AMNA-A, and unless the tower operators are in on the game, I'm not seeing any way to get to the GPS coordinates. I made about four laps around the place and was followed the entire time by a Chevrolet Equinox which was pretty creepy. There were a bunch of phone numbers posted on the entrance for the company that runs the tower, along with "This is Private Property" signs. I'm not willing to go to federal prison for fucking with the FCC so I didn't go too close. I'll post pics later.

Did you look for the kit? I think they're around the same place. Thanks for venturing out there!

 		Kinda panicked when I got the pass message after I woke up. Anyone know what the pass is or do I need to go through the whole forum?

There are multiple, and perhaps a growing list.

What message did you receive?

Thanks for going out there, curious if Ascend was following you knowing you'd be out there due to the forum.

Where those your guesses? History of settlement etc.. or did they reference this? If they brought up the history of settlement stuff it is a reference to Mount Carmel

The kit and AMNA-A are three hours away, and the kit is five hours from my house. I really didn't want to drive that much. Maybe I'll go look for the kit some time next week if I'm free.

 		So the latest picture on the Facebook page contains the following, which looks like a monoalphabetic substitution cipher key:

We've also had the following steg'd into images so far:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
May 19: if you freaks touch a hair on his head I'll cut the O2 to your tanks.
May 20: I just know he'll wake up soon. Do I need to turn on the N2O?
May 21: There might have been more than just nitrous in that. Oopsie.
May 22: Well I look like Nina Foch in my head.


Is there anything that we've got that hasn't been decrypted yet? [/spoiler]

 		I'm posting the recording of the phone call through the RAQ line. I'm not exactly a decrypter so if someone wants to transcribe the numbers and figure out what they mean that would be enlightening.

I'm not ready to post my email conversation with ascension yet but I will later.

Sorry about the quality of the sound file. I just used the record option on my phone.

 		I've had a very interesting conversation with the person running the Skype account.
I've determined that the one running the skype account and the person running the emails are entirely different. At least they want us to believe so.

I'm uneasy about posting my findings because I want to make as much progress as possible and posting what I have now won't help with much else.

I'll keep the conversation on file for later. I think top priority is figuring out what the numbers decode to from the RAQ line.

history of settlement... is his display name. "incorrect" and "guardian of the gate to ascension" were his messages

I just tried to transcribe that. Could someone check my transcription? It goes waaaay to fast to transcribe it at speed, but slowing it down I might have screwed up some of the numbers (turns out 5 and 9 sound a lot alike)

Also - it concerns me that the strings of numbers have different lengths.

Sign here, here and here, and the ascended's lepidoptery can be harvested. The other five are in need of heart, lung, kidney, liver, whatever. Woozily picking up ballpoint, did Stanley sign or drop the pen?

I listened to the recording and double checked your transcription and I found about 15 differences. Here is what you posted but with the differences I heard.
