 		Sure, here it is. The original name was asdfghjkl;'#456.wav (which is the same as the random text in the original post and also simply every useable key on the middle row of the keyboard)

To recap, this is a message left on the answering machine of The Gatekeeper, left by who/whatever has kidnapped Iris.

 		Ok, site's changed now. The main pictures are different and the writing has changed. Also I recieved a new email.

Quote:
The Website Is Being Taken
It Was Hacked
He has it like he has Iris

-----------------------------------------
Iris Is The Key To The Free, Stable World

She has the information.
If someone gets their hands on what she knows then..well I don't want to talk about what the result might be. Iris has the information stored in her mind.She cannot access it.I cannot access it.You must help me find her and what she knows.Do not speak to the Gatekeeper.Only I will talk to him.He will not be contacted by you or anyone.


Basically it seems we're looking at two groups. One has now taken over the website and is saying 'Do not trust those that spoke too soon' (the email contacts I assume) and the new image suggests contacting the GateKeeper. The other is protesting via email that the website has been hacked and that we should definitely NOT contact the gatekeeper. If it helps, Iris is a human. The latest email says she has information stored in her mind that would be dangerous if 'they' ever got to it. Whether 'they' are the kidnappers or the new site group, or even if the site group and the kidnappers are the same is yet to be seen.

EDIT: It seems like there's something wrong with the new image at the moment. For the record it was a blurry pic of someone's hand with 'Gatekeeper at HM' just about readable.

 		And now there's more.

The gatekeeper email is still missing. There's a new one saying irisISthekeySPLAThotmail.com I'm going to assume this is still the same group but using a different addy.

The new audio file is a slowed WAV saying
Quote:
'1962...the year [sound] that holds the key'
The sound sounds like an IM or email arriving but also fits into the speach so if it's intentional or not I don't know.

 		Hey brat, you might want to check your spelling. The email address is irisisthekeySPLAThotmail.com, not iristhekey Wink

BTW, did anyone else notice that behind "She is the key" there appear to be more words there. Looks like "Find the key", but I can't make it out for sure

EDIT: Well, I just emailed the new email address. Probably means I won't be trusted by the old people, but someone has to. I just asked them how to contact the gatekeeper. I'll post the response when I get it

 		Axys: that's because that's the gatekeeper's email Smile

EDIT: I've decided to stick by the originals. Despite their insane levels of paranoia they seem to just about trust me and seem pretty clear that these new guys (gatekeeper included) are not to be trusted.

Well, one has to make sure. I sent an email back to him asking how we find Iris. Here's what I got in response

The Gatekeeper wrote:
She went missing a few days ago.Scrap that rubbish about the picture with
answers2yourquestionsSPLAThm.com.That was not left at the scene.We now have our
site back under controle. remember soon the place will open up.Keep it in
mind and preach it.When The place opens we will have the clues.


Looks like this hasn't started completely yet

What is special about 1962? Also, why is the gatekeeper suddenly not to be trusted when yesterday he appeared to be quite helpful, sharing the message with you and everything. Please, once again, do not doubt my intentions. I seek only to aid your cause otherwise I would have ceased contact.
