There's a new video, but unfortunately I can't understand anything that is being said, especially not by Walker.


This is what I got - I can not tell what he is saying either. Did Arjun call him Harris? And also, the journal mentions song and humming - are we to find a song? Is music going to be important?

And last - the file names of the videos - do they mean anything?

Transcript of 17.56.13_Medical.mp4

Dr. Walker is on gurney, Dr. Okendi is examining and Arjun is sitting by the gurney.

Dr. Okendi: Say your goodbyes now. Colonel Weber wants him medivaced out to a brain trauma specialist.

Arjun: We'll work it out. I promise. I won't let your work go to waste.

Dr. Walker suddenly shoots his arm out and grabs arm.

Arjun: Harris, you're hurting me.

Dr. Walker: Babbling - (hard to understand maybe says trees or tweet)

Arjun: Dr. Okendi

DO we know who Dr. Sivakoa is? Seems like he might want actually want an answer.


Like you noticed, when I am logged into Dropbox I am able to add a comment to this latest picture (I haven't commented yet because I'm not sure what to say). The "comment" window on the Dropbox page says that "Arjun Katdare will be notified" of any comments. I tried searching for Arjun Katdare but no luck -- this is obviously the previously mentioned "Arjun" though.


How can you add comments? I am signed into Dropbox but the comment button is grayed out on everything - goog catch on who "owns" the account - that goes with the journal mentioning Arjun sending Dr. Walker things (so guessing Arjun is who is writing the comments on the photos?)

You're right, they seem to have taken the comments away again on that picture. Guess we weren't supposed to know who he is after all.

Yea they seem to have shut down the comments option for that pic. It doesn't come up for me any longer. Oh well.

To me, that last bit sounds like

"Bird, Tree, Treat, Leaf"

Though your idea of Tweet might work

The latest journal does mention Dr. Walker wanting to know about that song - I don't think there is enough to identify if it is an Earth melody....

Friday, September 16

It's taken me some time to process that I'm not alone in this. On one hand a part of me felt this experience made me special on the other I wonder if Arkady had the same experience I did. Did he hum too?

We skyped a bit while we were on site together but didn't exchange contacts. There just wasn't time or reason. I found his academia page and sent him a message. We'll see if he responds. Or, if, with whatever happened to him, that he's in shape to reply.

Oh! This seems to be directing us to Academia.edu:

https://linguanet.academia.edu/ArkadySivakov


In his profile are the same Siberia coordinates that were part of the original 12.

There is also an email address:
a.sivakovSPLATyahoo.com

I sent an email asking about Operation Centaur and Dr. Walker.

So I got an email from Arkady Sivakov. This is what I sent him, first:

Quote:
Do you know a Dr. Walker, who was part of Operation Centaur? He has been having troubles after an incident that happened to him. Any information you can give would be appreciated.


And this was his response:
Quote:
Как вы получили эту информацию?


This translates to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
How did you get this information?


Not sure how much to tell him. I'm tempted to directed him to the Dropbox.

Not sure if this is already known but Arkady Sivakov seems to have a twitter account with the same profile pic from https://linguanet.academia.edu/ArkadySivakov

The twitter is https://twitter.com/arkadysivakov
And it has the co ordinates on there as well.

Not open to the public. So i have no idea what is in there.

Nice find on the Twitter account. Joined in November 2012, though? Hmm.. if it wasn't for the coordinates I'd worry this might be a real guy. Too bad his tweets are protected.

anyway, I emailed him a link to the Dropbox acct and told him that he should look at the information there. He wrote back:

Quote:
Кто вы? По какому вопросу вы со мной связываетесь?


Google translate tells me this is:
Quote:
Who you are? On what issue you are communicating with me ?


So I'm still not sure what to tell this dude.

So this is a real academia site and real university but he is... part of the Arrival team? Also - did you message him through the Academia site?

So I got yet another email from Sivakov:

Quote:
Это секретная информация. А как вы знаете доктора Уoкера?


Google translate:
Quote:
That's classified . And as you know Dr. Uokera ?



So have we seen a Dr. Uokera in any of the things we've seen so far?

Never mind, Google tells me that "Uokera" is Russian for Walker. That makes more sense.

I emailed him too

Event at Siberia Shell

I have been looking into the events regarding linguistic projects associated with the 12 shells and what may have happened to Dr. Walker. Do you have any information or potential places to look for information regarding what happened to him?

Also, he has been humming an odd melody, is there any music associated with what happened to you?

Thank you,

----

His reply


Доступ к информации о мероприятиях на месте посадки ограничен. Но будьте уверены, я буду говорить с доктором Уолкером как только возможно. Thank you.

Translate - Access to information about the activities at the landing site is limited. But rest assured, I will speak with Dr. Walker as soon as possible.

Sivakov has gotten very chatty. I asked him if knows what happened to Walker. His latest response:

Quote:
Я не говорил с доктором Уолкером так как я должен был покинуть мое место посадки. Это очень сбивает с толку. Я собираюсь связаться с Аароном об этом напрямую.

I have not spoken with Dr. Walker since I had to leave my place of landing. This is very confusing. I'm going to contact with Aaron about it directly.
