[UPDATE] The Scarlett Kite - 12 Oct 06 - Scrambled

[poozle]

Thats hideous, but looks like a fun puzzle.

[Cabbage]

Imported into Word and it has got some page breaks and column breaks, so that's something at least...

[makomk]

Possibly useful: hex.txt shows both the hex and the associated characters (if any) in parallel, like a hex editor would.

ETA: deleted strings.txt; it was missing the numbers at the front of the error messages (due to not counting newlines as text)

[ALISDAIRPARK]

am I missing something? i don't really see any difference between the text file and the hex file translated to text?

It is logical to assume there is something there, otherwise why post it? (TIAG/ TINAG as appropriate to that)

[Flynn]

I've pulled out all (I think) the readable text - see attached file. There are some obviously connected blocks, which I'm going to try to put together next. A couple of the things I've included may be irrelevant, there is a number there that stood out for some reason so I've left it in.

There is also a <message begins> <message ends> block, with gibberish in between. I'm wondering if this could be an encrypted message, although it could equally easily be a blind alley...

[ALISDAIRPARK]

good work - beat me too it, I was about 2/3 of the way...some REALLY interesting stuff in there:

"subject expired" !
"subject 40% integrated with site infrastructure" !!
"Mjr Maine" prepped for transfer" !!! - now we know where he came from.

there's also a long line with someone breaking up with someone (maybe the Dear Martin?) else as it was too soon after Ian - is this anyone we know?

Laika 212 makes me think of the USSRs dog they sent into orbit back in the cold war...wonder if it was a dog in this case?

Edit: mental note, read all of a document before putting up a post!

[ALISDAIRPARK]

it was it confirms something about canine subjects later on

[Mikeyj]

Was just doing the same thing! I think there are a couple more dates in there, 269 seems to have been a significant year.

My first impressions...what a lot of dogs (at least I hope all the Laika's were dogs). There are bits of gatehouse logs in there (see here), which were first seen in Project Syzygy days.

Sente is mentioned.

There are also mentions of someone going to CS for authorisation (Camryn Scott?)

Authoristation was required for "Theta-seven" which seems to have been the move from trying dogs (some of which couldn't be reconstituted) to using volunteers in the form of Majors. One of which obviously lost an arm (it's alright they gave him a false one).

Lots to digest.

[cassandra]

just a reminder, this is 269 latest date seems to be Sept 26th, when the girls were on Hobbs Island (and Maine apparently arrived?)

[Flynn]

A bit of speculative joining together of bits of the text follows, remember this is all guesswork...

Spoilered in case, first the breakup email, plus it's followup to a mysterious friend...

[locqust]

So basically our jump from animal to human spaceflight....

Has this been mentioned? these experiments are an attempt to recreate a possible ability of the cube of reality jumping? The cube is a stable fully operaterional reality transfer device which moves CT to Earth, Sente is trying to recreate the ability without actually having the cube. We then get these failed experiments, including the EM affected Major?

[cassandra]

heh, I actually tried Aparna myself as a possible subdirectory or email name to the Sentinel and Academy. (roughly can mean "leafless" in Hindu afaik).

will look more later...

[Flynn]

Still digging through these, but a quick thought.

"Lab 7, L4" gets mentioned 8 times I think. If our intrepid explorers plan another visit, they might want to try and find it...
