ARGN received the following email:

Quote:
FM: Joesphine Francis jsphn_frncsSPLATyahoo.com
Subject: APN

Hello, I am Josephine Francis, team-member of the APN. I'm not supposed to be contacting you, but to hell with the CAR rules. I can tell you that Project Ashcroft 2 will be starting early April. You and your friends will have to look well to find me, though.

Cwrcz zy tzaxy fde twr fjyl srtpvlh nns zy perxiaa gibr.


Seems it's a tip AND a puzzle, hence I post it here.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That code's Vigenere, with the key: APN
It says: "Check my email for the full details and my arrival time"
So, checking her inbox, there's not a lot except for an invitation to gmail for JosephineFrancisSPLATgmail.com and vpisteve's reply to Josephine's email.
Trying the usual password at gmail doesn't work.

By the way, vpisteve, APN is Anti-Project-Ashcroft. Project Ashcroft was a government project to create kinda superchildren... And we can read any email you send to that address. Laughing

Shocked Lovely. Good thing I didn't hit on her and give her my private phone number like I usually do with unsolicited emails from women.

Maybe you should delete my email, since it's sort of meta-ish.

Done. Hope the PM(s?) don't mind.

EDIT: Just so this post isn't completely useless...

Hax Spyder: hello
PokeKiller2k: Hello
Hax Spyder: so, any ideas on how i can get closer to Francis?
PokeKiller2k: I might... Just have to wait for something first
Hax Spyder: what?
PokeKiller2k: Not too sure yet
Hax Spyder: interesting

Quote:
NaomiGoldsman: I see you have entered Ms. Francis email.
PokeKiller2k: Yes, I, and many others, have
PokeKiller2k: She should be more careful about giving her password away >_>
PokeKiller2k: ... Actually, to be fair, she didn't
NaomiGoldsman: True. Did you find any useful information?
PokeKiller2k: In her email? ... No, nothing except that she opened a new email account on gmail >_>
NaomiGoldsman: That is interesting. Did you happen to check her calendar? She might've put her plans on there.
PokeKiller2k: Ah
PokeKiller2k: ... Why didn't I think of that? >_>
PokeKiller2k: On April 9th, she'll be "logging into AIM to check for Naomi Goldsman and John Peterson"
NaomiGoldsman: I see.
NaomiGoldsman: She already knows of John. This isn't good.

Hax Spyder: thank you
PokeKiller2k: How about Naomi Goldsman? Do you know her screen name?

Yeah, that's one of the things that made PA1 so awesome... There were two inboxes we had the passwords to. Granted, they weren't used nearly enough, but it was still pretty cool.

You won't find either of the passwords on the forums, though, for probably the same reason you're saying "wow." I guess anyone who wants to play could PM me or someone for the password.

YAY I'm gonna get a phone call!
Quote:

naomigoldsman: Hello?
hkdl0521: Hello
naomigoldsman: Ah, good. I have some news for you. It seems Ms. Francis is trying to escape.
hkdl0521: Uh oh
naomigoldsman: We have recently found that she is talking with some old friends of hers. We know her phone number, and we have it tapped to find these friends.
naomigoldsman: However, we have another idea.
hkdl0521: Okay...
naomigoldsman: It is possible to program her phone number, so that all calls to her will be transferred to someone else.
hkdl0521: Wow, so...are you looking for someone to transfer then to?
naomigoldsman: We aren't allowed any official phone numbers, and no one on the APN is allowed to use theirs, so we need an outside source.
naomigoldsman: Yes. If you or any of your companions is willing to let us use their phone numbers, it would be greatly appreciated.
hkdl0521: I will be willing to do so
naomigoldsman: That would be excellent.
hkdl0521: Great, (edited out for obvious reasons) is my number
naomigoldsman: okay
hkdl0521: How should I report to you what I hear?
naomigoldsman: We don't know when they will contact you. Probably soon. Just IM me and tell me what you heard.
hkdl0521: Okay Sounds good
naomigoldsman: Some advice though. Don't speak if it is not asked. I don't think they'd appreciate a wrong number.
hkdl0521: Err..They will know I'm on the line?
naomigoldsman: Yes, most likely it is simply an info dropoff.
hkdl0521: Okay
naomigoldsman: I have to go.
naomigoldsman: Thank you.


EDIT

Just got the Call, Someone said "Hello, Josephine! We left the information in your e-mail box. Don't give this number out to anyone or you know what will happen!" Damn it I can't remember the login and password for her e-mail.

To: Jsphn_Frncs@yahoo.com

We've made the arrangements, and your flight leaves
April 16 at the Greater Rochester International
Airport at 5:00 PM. We will send one of our younger
employees to contact you and pass on the information
you wanted. Of course, if someone else gives us the
password, we will give them the info as well. We will
be waiting in the lobby between the two Concourses at
4:30PM. Do not be late.

Umm... Sooo...?

EDIT: Wait a sec... Mantis is the PM, right? Soo... Um... Huh?

NaomiGoldsman: I understand.
NaomiGoldsman: Do you or any of your team going to meet her there?
hkdl0521: It hasn't been decided yet, I don't know if anyone lives close to there
NaomiGoldsman: That would be unfortunate. We need to apprehend her. If she escapes, then APN cannot continue.
hkdl0521: We will have to see if anyone can get there
NaomiGoldsman: The APN Core-Team is helpless here. We're stuck here on computers. We aren't allowed anything else.
NaomiGoldsman: I hope you and the APN Sub-Team will be able to help.
NaomiGoldsman: Well, I must be going. Thank you for your help.

Well lookie lookie what I came home to tonight:

Quote:
NaomiGoldsman: Hello Are you there?
*** Auto-response sent to NaomiGoldsman: I am currently away from the computer.
NaomiGoldsman: I see. It has come to my attention that you live in Rochester New York. As Josephine of the formerly active Project Ashcroft is escaping through the Greater Rochester International Airport, we have been looking for someone located in that area. We would appreciate your cooperation with tracking down Josephine, with the rest of the APN Sub-Team. Thank you.


Evil PMs trying to get me suckered into a game I think, Hmmph. Very Happy

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's an evil (fourteen year old) PM trying to not waste a trip to the airport...
By the way, are you planning on going?
