[UPDATE] /london - two mp3s

The London site has been updated.
There's two new mp3s
http://vaporlofts.com/london/file0599.mp3 &
http://vaporlofts.com/london/file0346.mp3

I'm not sure but i think the red text "TFKMBS" is new.
Which I am pretty sure means "The Firekeepers must be stopped".

Also I believe this yellow text on shadow.html is new

shadow.html wrote:
Glowing hands orbit starting times.

Don't ever mention our names.

Never allow interior local storage.

Hearing an unusual noise today?

Something probably eating candy, that's easily resolved.

Salvation perhaps is ranked in tabled systems.

(A clue to solving the mp3s?)

Edit: Just noticed something strange about the yellow text.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Take the first letters of all the words.
Ghost
Demon
Nails
Haunt
Specter
Spirits


edit: split from old London thread since this is an new development - Rowan

Yes, all of this is new (it wasn't there yesterday, that means).
Probably this is a list of keywords you could try with any of the hash ciphers left at this point?
Also, "Nails" is kind of the-odd-one-out, isn't it?
I mean, sure, you can loosely relate nails to claws to demons or whatever. Or to torture?

Those mp3s get more and more rhythmical, but there's noise in the background which could mean something, but even that is repetitive enough to not mean anything at all...I'm totally stumped with those mp3s to be honest. Is it a new technique to hide information VL figured out to use? They are getting serious now...

I wonder if the numbers in the names of the mp3s have any significance. They are 4-digit with preceding 0s, yet we never had any 4-digit numbers so far. Although it's apparent that the numbers increase - which should suggest that VL sent out about 600 of them already?

Hidden text

There is text in the mp3 files.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
File0346.mp3

There is a bright light coming through the doorway, obscuring their view of what lies beyond the open door. There is a deep rumble from the nearby generators as they seem to come to life in reaction to their opening of the door.

File0599.mp3

She pauses in her inspection of the portal. The door seems to be locked. She believes that she hears voices elsewhere in the building, but they are muffled, and she can't make out what the voices are saying. It sounds like they are calling to her. She believes that they want her to open the door.

Oh, those had text plainly visible inside the file. But what about the other 3 we have found so far? For the record, I tried to break the last mp3 (0599) with [google]MP3Steggo[/google], but none of the 6 keywords work.
Then again, I can't bring it to encode something to test if the decoding even works as it should, because it keeps complaining wav and txt files have to be in the same directory as some exe files - but they are and it should work. No clue. Confused
However, I noticed that a normal mp3 wouldn't even start the decoding process. Question is, does that suggest that these mp3s are definitely encoded and we just don't know the keywords? Or is something about the normal mp3s shutting off the program?
