Hello everybody. Like many others here, this is my first ARG, but I've been spending quite a bunch of time on this one so far.

1st: I can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't think it's the location of the first picture in indexb.html that's important, but rather the subject of the photo itself. Can anyone tell if it's a sunrise or a sunset? I want to think that the image itself is the clue, rather than some piece of information that it's supposed to lead us to.

2nd: We all know the logs are grouped according to 10-digit groupings of e. The filename of the false error 409 message is the first 10 digits. The names of the .cache files are (when rearranged) the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, and 16th 10-digit groupings. Only when the .cache messages are arranged in this order do they make sense as a narrative.

This leads me to believe that either we're missing the 3rd, 7th, and 15th messages somewhere, or they are supposed to be missing (anyone mathy able to work on the 3,7,15 correlation?). I believe that without these messages, we will not be able to fully and completely start the hunt for the cube.

3rd: Within the .cache messages, there may be parts of other messages that we're missing. The line in 9457138217.cache (the reply from Sarah to Henrik regarding the access data) that says "How carefully did you check the logs?" seems to indicate that the logs have the key to some part of a puzzle that we've either not figured out, or haven't seen yet. Has anyone seen anything pertinent in the message that hasn't been apparent to the rest of us yet?

4th: Regarding the logs, who's s. ling? I haven't seen any reference elsewhere to S. Ling, and it would seem that this person frightens Lyssa when Lyssa arrives to check in. The tamperer?

I'm (of course) still churning this one through. If anyone has anything that they'd be willing to share, drop a line.

I agree with you guys about the missing messages, 3rd, 7th and 15th. If they are not the instances Tanner is refering to I believe they would shed more light on what is going on. I'm also wondering about the skyline photo on the index page. It looks like its gotta be the UK. I've done some searching but searching for a simlar "image" is next to impossible. Has anyone been contacted by Sente yet? This is my first ARG since the ill-fated Majestic and it is much more fun than I remember.

yup the missing entries of e were suspected as the next lot of messages or hidden messages, iirc the most recent message didnt fill this gap.

Missing e

[tanner]

if you arrange the e digits in the order they appear in the whole e number then the missing ones seem to be subject separaters

ie

1 message about the zeller bio
missing file
3 messages about shoes
missing file
4 messages from henrik tanners inbox and sent box
missing file
2 messages of gatehouse 24 logs

etc

in other words i doubt the missing numbers are files at all
