[PUZZLE] [SOLVED] Pieces of letter from Steven Mae

I received, in an email from stevie today, a photo of part of the letter that Seth is carrying around that Raidar took a photo of.

Quote:
Raidar took another picture of the letter that Seth has, but it is only a part of the page.


another picture? there are more out there then.

There are only so many places I can go to. I have to get out of here! Question

The upper part about "minute" is interesting, I bet.

Lisa, perhaps "another picture" means another picture besides the one you already received from Raidar. But then again, perhaps not.

Using what Lisa and AmberJoy have posted, here's a partial reconstruction of the letter:

I've had a couple of emails from Stevie but no clues other than what we already have. Got the same photos to. I got an email today that has some interesting info about the asteroid so i thought i should post it.

Quote:

Hi Michelle, Pip and Pogo!

Pogo is a pretty girl. My friend Puck has two black cats too! He sent a picture of them. They were different colored collars so we can tell them apart in the picture. Does Pogo wear a collar? Raidar has a microchip that identifies him, just like living dogs and cats can get!

Dr. Martha said she knows what your Mommy feels like. I hope your Mommy doesn't get all grumpy like Dr, Martha is. Inside the station it nice, you can run around in bare feet, but if you went outside of the station and walked around on the asteroid, Davi said that in the sun your feet would burn too, and then when it would spin and you would be standing in the dark, it would get so cold your feet would get frost bite! I'm going to make sure I wear my space suit if I have to go outside.

Raidar said to tell Pip: Rdgstaxp Bpt hpxs rpi udds xh qps udg ejeexth. Hipn plpn ugdb Edvd'h sxhw.

Your friends,
Stevie and Raidar


The code it just telling my dog that my cats food is bad for him and to stay away from it.

You know what would be really trippy, if we could create a mystery (like our own ARG) and we could get the in game characters of Orbital Colony to try to solve it... Like one of us disappears and Davina and Stevie have to help us find them Geek.... Ow, my head hurts.... I have to go lay down now.

Just to cover he bases:
The message for Pip ROT-11s to;
"Cordelia Mae said cat food is bad for puppies. Stay away from Pogo's dish"

I go another email from Stevie today. Interesting message and some photos. One was a photo of the letter but it was to blurred to read anything so i wont post that.

Quote:

Hi Michelle, Pip, and Pogo!

Raidar has a few lights he can flash for his eyes and a little spot on his chest. But some spaces on the Station are narrow, even with his flashing lights sometimes people run into Raidar. Mommy bumped into him today as he was trying to get another picture of the letter.

Raidar doesn't go to the vet. He goes to SAIPets when he is not feeling good, and when he can get upgrades to do more things.

I have to be careful how fast I jump and run, Mommy says I may feel like I weigh less but I have the same mass, and if I am moving faster and run into something I could hurt myself very badly. If we ever go outside on the asteroid, Mommy said I can't jump around, or else I would go flying off into space! The asteroid, um, Wasilei, doesn't have enough mass of it's own to make gravity to pull me back to it the way Earth does.

We have a pool, they painted a mural on the wall so it would look like it was outside.

I'm sending you some pictures of the Balcony that looks over part of the garden, the labs, the cafeteria and the pool!

Raidar says to tell Pip:
Hszv Prgah ivgth uiigort qubioihh rkqxdnsgsj atgyovs lspfy wcjkgiwmoiwub rcsdgcswhsj Give Pogo and Pip some hugs from us.

Your friends,
Stevie and Raidar

Hmmm, so Seth sends a message to Thunderwolf, but it was probably intended for someone else? Or is he referring to other "outside contacts" then us?

Maybe we should try to reassure Seth that we're on his side? (Umm, are we? Confused )

Sharpening?

Would it be possible to sharpen the photo? That might give us some more clues.

Edit: the reason I'm posting this is because my photo editing capabilities are very limited at the moment....I can't sharpen an image to save my life.

Oh, it's pretty much always possible to sharpen a photo, but the chances of getting any usuable information out of it is going to be slim to none. Sadly none of us have those nifty CSI type computer programs that can make something out of nothing. We're just going to have to get Stevie to spill some milk or something on Seth's papers so that while he's going to get something to clean it up, Raider can get some better pics.
