 		[Trailhead] Not another AIM conversation...
I was minding my own business in an IRC chat on Gaim, when I got this:
(15:44:01) LJX432: Hello? Are you there? I need help...
(15:44:09) Soup4Brains1: Hmm?
(15:44:21) LJX432: They killed him
(15:44:32) LJX432: Oh god, they killed him and covered the whole thing up
(15:44:37) Soup4Brains1: Who? What?
(15:44:3Cool LJX432: he didn't have anything to do with it
(15:44:51) LJX432: He was innocent
(15:44:56) Soup4Brains1: Who was?
(15:45:02) LJX432: He never knew what was going on
(15:45:0Cool LJX432: what if i told you that the game wasn't a game
(15:45:15) LJX432: that all of it was real
(15:45:19) Soup4Brains1: What game?
(15:45:35) LJX432: i can't be direct...they're watching....keywords they pick up on
(15:45:52) LJX432: all of it just fell into his lap
(15:46:01) LJX432: all he wanted was help
(15:46:01) Soup4Brains1: Whose lap?
(15:46:10) Soup4Brains1: What can I do to help?
(15:46:11) LJX432: a family member
(15:46:17) LJX432: you can't help him now
(15:46:27) LJX432: just help me make the truth be known
(15:46:32) Soup4Brains1: How?
(15:46:36) LJX432: it's not safe to say anymore
(15:46:39) LJX432: i'll be in contact
(15:46:52) Soup4Brains1: Okay

And then, as I was posting this, I got another one:
(15:51:39) LJX432: 1 - A

2 - B

3 - C

4 - D

5 - E

6 - F

7 - G

8 - H

9 - I

0A - J

0B - K

0C - L

0D - M

0E - N

0F - O

0G - P

0H - Q

0I - R

0J - S

1A - T

1B - U

1C - V

1D - W

1E - X

1F - Y

1G - Z
(15:52:11) Soup4Brains1: I'm going to assume that is a code.
(15:52:22) LJX432: for keywords
(15:52:44) LJX432: they can't have live people searching every log that goes out
(15:52:51) LJX432: they only pick up on keywords
(15:52:55) LJX432: it's automated
(15:53:11) LJX432: most people on think it's a game
(15:53:1Cool Soup4Brains1: I don't understand.
(15:54:14) LJX432: first the letters, next it was that girl and the transmissions, and latest it was 0C,5,0E,0E
(15:54:31) LJX432: they turned it into a sick game
(15:55:1Cool LJX432: i need to go

Any idea what this could be, and why I'm getting these messages?

 		Sounds kinda interesting...if you follow the code layout, it spells
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
lenn
...i'm new to the world of ARGs, and could be completely wrong.

 		I wonder how this will play out. I'm guessing I'll end up getting more messages from this person, seeing as there's not really much useful information in these first 2 conversations.
Might this be somehow realted to NeuroCam?

 		Doubtful. Neurocam turned out to be connected to a con artist.

 		Slap me for saying this, but if that code spells out "Lenn" and it just so happens that the person who's AIMing you is named "LJX432"... Why do I smell Lenny's Xenga... I mean, I could be totally off... but that's a pretty large coincidence.

The PMs did say that Lenny would be back, but could they have redone it in this short time?

EDIT: Wait, in that first chat... "next it was that girl and the transmissions"... you remember how Lenny J went? He got the strange transmission from the strange girl...?

 		Yes... this is surely Lenn again... Well, for all intensive purposes, I'm in this time around... I'd like to see where this goes, especially after speaking with the PM.

Wait, wait. How do we know for sure it is, I mean it could just be a coincidence - after all the storyline looks completely different apart from a few little hints?

But then... the latest transmission spells Lenn... *tires not to get hopes up*

 		Yeah, I'm not really sure if this is the same person, but in the least, it's the same characters. Who knows?

 		Ok, so here's what I figure is going on. Lenny's thing was real. There were voices and the like, and the girl was real.
But but but "they" (killed?) got to lenny and posted everywhere that it was all a game.
But it wasn't!
Thats my $0.02

That's the only plausible explaination so far. If the PMs are reading this and this isn't Lenny J please stop us before we destroy your game. If it is... carry on. I'm just worried about hijacking a perfectly good game, like we almost did to Synagoga, because we think it's another when it isn't.
