Bang goes that idea, then.
Another one: the message anagrams to c-checker. Fraid I'm not techno-literate enough to know if there could be any code written in c in the e-mails to check.

Hey guys, I'm back after a long time away from ARGs because I checked my mail this morning and saw an E-mail from The Composer. The subject was '1.'.

What I don't understand is if you have something to tell the police, why put it in code in the first place? What is so wrong about just calling 911 and, you know, telling someone you need help?

Rowan, you've been around long enough to know that he has tried to contact the ARG police! You know, the ones who don't actually do anything; ignore all messages, and who don't have a phone. We're the composer's only hope; he doesn't have any friends or family to contact, either.

I'm sure there will be a plausible explaination... I hope...

Hmm..Looks interessting...maybe I'll just keep one eye on it...yes, maybe I'll actually attempt 3 ARGs at once (more like 2 1/2, I'm still following Triska)
If he/she is on the run from the police, how do you figure they're contacting us? Laptop? Cyber Cafe? Maybe thier mail is being watched, hence the codes.

Just recieved another e-mail from The Composer. It seems to be identical to the last one I recieved... seems like he is impatient...
EDIT: And another one; translated from binary we get:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I have found the first test of getting through security. Once you can contact others here, you can surely help me. I take great risk sending this, but it worked before. Table - Keers Eye - Village - Thistle - Crow - Saevitia - Table - Rin9 - Eye - Village - Eye.

Ok that's got to be linked to the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"= Airlock - Table - Boat - Eye - Computer - Village ="
I've no ideas yet but, it just after 6a.m. and my brain won't start working for another 3 hours yet..
There's also the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
rcehcekc
message
EDIT: Saevitia is a band, German I think. I can't find anything for the phrase Keers eye, there's lots for rin9, but nothing that seems relevant, sorry rephrase that loads of technical stuff, but nothing consistent.

e.g. Keers Eye: OliverKeers13
