Below you will find a constantly-updated list of undeployed operatives currently available for scientific engagement


Think this is why. We should keep an eye on this.

Summary of recent discord:

LordHuffnPuff retweeted:
https://twitter.com/RedPagesPodcast/status/689938381325795328

A link to the Red Pages Podcast
http://redpagespodcast.com/listen/he-is-number-zero

The genre of the podcast is "buttscast" and there's a link in the id3 to:
http://boktai3d.tumblr.com/
LordHuffnPuff is in the credits as "Voice Actor (Emil), Obtaining references, Consultant for canon." but we don't have anything to more directly relate the project to the ARG.


The podcast begins with " We move our pawn to g5"
This would be the move for the Borg Defense (Borg King, Borg Queen, Borg Horse, Borg Rook pics):

d4 is the first move Alice makes in Through the Looking Glass (from a previous tweet).

Unfortunately the information is of much less use than where that information came from and how it was found.

Nobody can help if where things come from are not explained for example

THD 20 10 mins something happens

or

RPAGES 30 mins morse code

this could allow people to reverse engineer what you have found and apply it somewhere else on something they may have seen or heard.

For example Borg Pics there is no information on where they came from except for the horse. and the rook has never been posted.

Hey you guys, I got the package! Very Happy

I'm on my way home now, but I'll probably run into some traffic. Sad

I managed to resist the urge to tear it open, so that I can open it on camera when I get home. My best guess would be that the video will be uploaded and a post will be made shortly after midnight tonight, PST. However even if it takes longer, I WILL upload everything BEFORE I go to sleep tonight, not gonna leave tou guys hanging. Wink

Also, it's adressed to "James A Crawford" Very Happy

I didn't realize the Rook had yet to be posted, it is here:

The King and Queen pics' origins were already posted on the forum. The Queen being the Woman in Gold painting that people thought might be corrupted found encoded in an mp3 http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39801&start=525

The King comes from the Redpages twitter and THD 10's spectrograph
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39801&start=840

The horse picture and the Through the Looking Glass tweets were posted near that page as well.

OK, so I opened the package, filmed it all, and took a bunch of pictures. It was, well, a bag of rocks. "Quartz Healing Stones" to be precise.

Here are some pictures I took: http://imgur.com/a/MiJzV

The box contained 2 air-filled packing material things, the little slip of paper, and the bag of r- I mean, healing quartz. Wink

The video was uploading really slow, and I think it has something to do with the file format, so I'll sort that out tomorrow. I'll also double check tomorrow to make sure that I got good pictures of all the labels and stuff, and to make sure that I didn't miss any. I know that most of this stuff probably won't have anything to do with the ARG, since Amazon shipped it, but I figure it can't hurt, and it's better to be thorough.

Train Hot Dog episode 36

Some interesting stuff going on in Train Hot Dog this week, episode 36, "Gunmetal and Tennis Balls"

Jumps in audio:

1m 13s
4m 9s
4m 52s
8m 43s
9m 00s
11m 45s
11m 50s (?)
17m 23s (?)
18m 19s
20m 00s

There may be more-- someone with audio software should have a go at this.

I believe the jumps in the audio are just Jim's microphone momentarily losing connection from his phone.

Not sure how this may help, but I think this is the page he got the 'healing crystals' from:

Yeah I thought there may have been a review with something but on the page there is one recently but it is not related.

Actually, they would be. Quartz is piezoelectric meaning if you squeeze it, it makes electricity or if you run electricity through it, it squeezes itself. Seems pretty contained and pressurized to me.
