 		[E-MAIL] From Omnifam to operatives
Received last night:

Quote:
A field agent deeply entrenched within the Followers of Rambaldi has obtained a message directed to them indicating a significant opportunity. They have just completed negotiation for the purchase of important Rambaldi research. This information will be delivered to them in the near future by some physical means, most likely a dead drop. Omnifam believes the information to be of supreme importance to our plans.

Your mission is to infiltrate the Followers' website, obtain the time and location of the dead drop, and intercept the information before the Followers have a chance to retrieve it. Upon completion of your mission, report back to Omnifam for further instructions.

According to our agent, the Followers are coordinating their activities online through followersoframbaldi.com. He believes the newly discovered page porta.php is where you should begin your infiltration.

Without question, this is by far the most important mission assigned to WARN. Do not fail us.

Message ID: xxx
Classification: Confidential


what do you reckon? Just a further reminder to keep going on the porta page?

 		You deffinitely need to look at the Attachment sent with it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Flip The Letter there's an imprint message on it


Here's the pictures


I'm guessing that strange picture on porta is somehow sposed to be decoded into GPS coordinates? And that will be the location of the dead drop? Maybe one of us will be sent to intercept the drop Smile

 		Hi guys! Here's a copy that might be easier to read... From what I can tell, the back says,

"DEAR SIRS,

ON EXAMING YOUR OFFER, I FIND THAT IT MAY
BE PRUDENT TO DISPOSE OF MR. DEMPE'S EFFECTS. THEY
HAVE PROVEN TOO TROUBLESOME FOR ME.

IF YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY OUR CONTRACT, I'LL BE
LEAVING THE RELAVENT PARTS FOR YOU. DO NOT TRY TO LOCATE
ME - I'LL BE FAR AWAY BY THE TIME YOU RETRIEVE THEM.

MORE INFORMATION WHEN THE CONTRACT IS GO.

-M"

As for the front of the note, here's what I have so far. Some of it makes no sense, but that'll just be me putting in what the translator spat out:

"these(?) on dempe contract. fast how fast

great truth/truthfulness

plundering (nova)

four brothers will be needed"

Yeah, you got me on that stuff...

From what I've seen Nova or Novo means:

to make anew, refresh, revive, change, alter, invent.

 		I think the word "celerius" means faster/quicker rather than fast and "quam" can be used as "than", so I translated "celerius quam celeriter" as "quicker than quickness" or "faster than speed".

 		Latin Translation
What I deciphered in latin was:

Ii = 2
on =on or that
Dempe=Assuming this means Mr. Dempe
pactum=contract
Celerius=?
quam=how, than, as possible
celeriter = quickly
So we have "2 that dempe contact Celerius as quickly as possible"

magna=great things
veritas=truth
spolia=plunder, hide, deprive
nova = recent
So this is "great things truth (great truth) hide recent, so great truth has been hidden until recently?"

Quattuor fratri will be needed. "4 brothers will be needed"

That is all I have so far.
4 brothers will be needed.

 		This may just be coincidence, but I decided to put the phrases MAGNA VERITAS and SPOLIA NOVA into an anagram finder and
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

the words SOLVE ANAGRAM are in there and the remaining letters are ITSPIANOVA, so it could be:
SOLVE ANAGRAM IT'S PIANOVA
if that makes any sense.

 		These were solved over at the SD-1 boards, the first by Omnifam, who says it is a pointless page. The other two are probably just as pointless, but who knows?:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.followersoframbaldi.com/porta.php?adlucem=vitae leads to http://www.followersoframbaldi.com/innerworkings.php where five pictures can be found

http://www.followersoframbaldi.com/porta.php?magna=veritas leads to http://www.followersoframbaldi.com/principia.php which changes everytime you view it. So far, I've seen 9.

http://www.followersoframbaldi.com/porta.php?spolia=nova leads to http://www.followersoframbaldi.com/whoareyou.swf which redirects you to http://www.followersoframbaldi.com/sanctum/ The first time I viewed it, I saw picture of the players. Everyone who sent a picture to Cindy, spliced with someone else. But now, when you refresh, there are just maps, possibly the locations of the four drops.

edit: We have found the locations of the maps: 1)Austin 2)Orlando 3)Chicago 4)Boston
