The morse translation I got didn't work at all. Then I thought to take the dashes out, as it seemed weird to have a lot of single dashes. Then, I got this:

SIE

Which is 'it' in German.

And then I have no idea.

***-**--*-- can meam many things.

I have tried just about all combinations. The only one that doesn't seem random is: 31M

This could be a date. 31 could be a day of a month and M could stand for a day of the week (that would only leave us with Monday). Interestingly enough, the only Monday 31st from now to the end of the year is October 31. Halloween seem like an appropriate date for something interesting, seeing how much the tool crew likes superstition.

But, only time will tell!

the only thing i've found:
http://www.toolband.com/secrets/crypto.html
this is supposed to be hidden in the menu on the left, but i can't find the actual link anywhere. there are two links to another page, though.
as far as i can tell, there's nothing there except a list of dates and x/y coordinates.

...that's all i got...
