Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's morse code. The numbers tells us how to break up the dashes and dots. Problem is, the first bit decoded properly to "WHILEIAPPRECIATEALLTHEASSISTANCE", the rest was gibberish.

I check 3 times already but will check again to see if I did anything wrong in the decode... Confused

Errors

The Morse part of the message has errors, mainly dropouts. By adding in the appropriate dots or dashes (mainly by trial and error) you get:

or in a more readable form:

While I appreciate all the assistance no one has come forth with a complete scenario that either the contributor or myself has felt totally confident with. Wrongly accused party could result in abrubt end to career at QND. All France travel was related to RG. RG has not been to ?lhibekd? has not been seen in DC area driving a Hummer with Gatlin vanity plates. Cole left QND awhile ago on good terms, with a status of all clear. Lastly, someone is thwarting internal investigation, information is being withheld, and access denied. Time is now of the essence, the tracks are being wiped away.

With the exception of the one part indicated by ??, I'm fairly confident of the result.

Thank Goodness! Good Job (And the patience of Job)!

So it's something we need to access I'm sure.....something we missed. I don't think we can come to any sort of concrete conclusion with the data we have. Back to the Matrix files methinks.

dear god what a mess!!! Rolling Eyes i also managed to decode it using trial and error, adding dots/dashes and changing some of the numbers in numbers string. That's the problem with morse, 1 small error and the message becomes garbage. In this case there's more than 1 error Rolling Eyes

anyways the ?? part in y2k's spoiler above decoded to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
...ALL FRANCE TRAVEL WAS RELATED TO RG RG HAS NOT BEEN TO CHILE RG HAS NOT BEEN SEEN...


Cant see how this helps us though... Confused

I think they are poking fun at some of our hypotheses. All right who had the Hummer....fess up. Very Happy

And what I think it says is we've missed an "access" page/point somewhere.

So ....what about CANYURD.qnc? Doesn't that look suspiciously like Can You Read? And didn't the other similar file (Reshig?) yield something (phenol)?

And what about these?

Could we be looking for them somewhere?

Good job guys! I had printed it out and was working on it in bed last night since my computer was acting up. I had gotten as far as "while..." and fell fast asleep.

I had nothing to do with the Hummer. Smile

He says that time is of the essence, but I don't really know what else we are supposed to do. I went through all the files this morning looking for anything we could have missed. I don't see how we can come to a conclusion with what we currently have. So what else could we be missing?

A file in the matrix that we haven't paid enough attention to?
Are we supposed to solicit contact with any agents?
Is there another website we are missing?

BTW, I was looking for the May agent messages and couldn't find them. Are they posted somewhere?

Thanks. I don't know why I couldn't find them. I wanted to make sure I had them all in my copy.

Chew on this: I went back to check out canurd.qnc, and as of 9/25/03, at about 11:30am, the folowing two files in the matrix are 404ing:

http://www.quantumnetwork.net/secure/matrix/qndfile/canyurd.qnc.txt
http://www.quantumnetwork.net/secure/matrix/qndfile/jks.qnc.txt

Perhaps we are in for an update!

These two files still stick out to me. Could one be used to decode the other?

Well they are still MIA..........do you think it's their way of saying "Yes, you have indeed missed something in the Matrix, but not these two."
(Thus narrowing our options?)

Or could it be more in reference to this?

I guess we could go both ways with it. Either it's vital, or not... Smile
