FROM: Bryan Wilson | Subject: I hope you are feeling alright

Dear Eva,

I hope you are feeling alright. I want to make sure you keep your brain in good working order, so please complete this assignment and send it to me within a week:

Ethics and On-Line Commerce: Selling Mythology

As a case study please investigate Youshi a new 'health supplement' produced by YouKin.

By the way, I've ordered you a sample pack of the product. It should be delivered to your flat within a few days! Good luck!

Kind regards,

Bryan Wilson

PS Oh yes, I almost forgot. The Institute has changed its web address and you can now post your essays on the new site.
Here's a little brainteaser to wake you up.

From Srilanka you can dash to Phuket and dote on their organic lettuce. The first three come with a line, which leads to a place for a period and ends almost with a member of a church!

FROM: Bryan Wilson | Subject: hope you're getting on with your essay

Dear Eva,

How are you feeling now? I hope you're getting on with your essay and having luck finding all you need. The Youshi pack should be with you soon and that will help.
I'm sorry I've not been able to speak to you this week; I had some things to sort out.
I know you are easily bored but keep off that foot and don't go wandering around outside. Keep your brain active!

Kind regards,

Bryan Wilson

This isn't junk mail.
You don't know me. There are people who know you better than you know yourself. Some of them you know already, some you don't. You might think you're alone but you're never alone, you've never been alone, not for a single second. The ones you trust the most let you down the furthest. Think you should be careful at SRI. That's all I can say.

Best
Keir Jones.

Didn't think girls were into Bourne type things. Anyway I'd rather be Harry Palmer than Jason Bourne. Do you like films then? Do you know who Harry Palmer is?

Yes I like films! Even if I don't know who Harry Palmer is. Seems to me you know nothing about girls at all. Don't contact me again - ever.

 		The emails also tell us that there is an IG website for the SRI. Funnily enough, I had already emailed Eva about an hour ago, asking if SRI had a website, so hopefully we will have that soon.

 		I'm not sure Eva will know it - it seems like Wilson made their website a puzzle for her to solve. So, it'll be something like www . sri-[something to do with Phuket and organic lettuce Very Happy ].[domain that sounds almost like a member of church].

Sinister. Not really sure what to answer there... Which do you reckon would be more likely to get you 'enrolled'?

Eva, I've been getting messages on my blog from people I don't know. I gave you the hint of how to get to it, thinking only you would see it. Who are these other people? Did you give them the password? I don't want people gate-crashing - this isn't a party, it's serious. Are they friends of yours?

Those people have been helping me out. They actually worked out your password for me. They really want to trust you but you're not making it easy! Why did you contact me?! What do you want?!

Download Attachment


I found out some stuff through my work that I think you should know about.
I'm attaching the file.

The attachment is a password encrypted ZIP file with a file called:

Log X.12.06 *


That requires a password to unzip it.

 		X.12.06 sounds like an incomplete date. I reckon it's probably pointing to a specific word in one of Eva's blogs. There is only one entry for 12.06 which would make X 11, no idea where to go from there though.

Often you find that people comment on the darkness at the root of our problems.


I am wondering if this is a clue to the password - maybe something to do with a comment somewhere ?

 		There is also an email from Eva to Professor Wilson about her findings on Youshi. ( link)
Quote:
FROM:Eva McGill to Professor Wilson | Subject: assignment
Dear Professor Wilson,

I'm sorry about this but I'm afraid I wasn't able to complete the assignment you gave me looking into YouKin and Youshi. I was able to find out some information from the company web site but nothing I could use as solid evidence.

The ingredients of Youshi are water, ammonia, hydrogen, sulphur and methane. These were used to produce amino acids in a 1953 experiment conducted by Carl Sagan and others. These ingredients are commonly thought of as 'the building blocks of life'.

Other than this I was only able to gather certain points of conjecture i.e. that Youshi is only available to a select number of customers and there is no way of buying it on-line. Although there is a chat bot on the site and this seemed like a fun game at first, it wasn't very forthcoming with any further information about who YouKin are or what their ethical policy is. This change of personality seems to have been reflected in its expression, it now looks glum all the time.

I need to ask you, are YouKin a real company or is this some sort of test? Did you set it up or is YouKin some sort of cover for another bigger company? I've really acquired a taste for the stuff and it seems harmless, so what are your concerns about it? What was I meant to find out? What does Youshi really do?

I'm sorry to have been unable to complete the assignment, I tried to call you a few times but I wasn't able to speak to you. I hope that you will get back to me soon.

Yours,

Eva.

There are a bunch of new Eva emails today, ...

Betweeen Eva and Keir:

FROM:Eva McGill to Keir Jones | Subject: It's Me
That file you sent me - it's me isn't it? All the shopping I did at Christmas. Did you single me out or was it the company you work for? Where did you get this stuff?!!!

Eva

http://www.evamcgill.co.uk/email/kj9.html
From: Keir Jones | Subject: About You
Can't tell you. Would make things bad for me and maybe worse for you too. Just trying to warn you that it has come through B. Wilson at SRI.

K

http://www.evamcgill.co.uk/email/em9.html
FROM:Eva McGill to Keir Jones | Subject: Is it true?
Are you sure it's Prof. Wilson??? How did they know everywhere I shopped at Christmas? I didn't always use my credit card, I used cash!

E



and from Brian Wilson to Eva:

FROM: Bryan Wilson | Subject: My Dear Eva
Dearest Eva,

Don't worry about not finishing your assignment, it was a means to an end.

Eva, I have been looking at your blog and I have read the messages from your friends. I can see what you are going through. My dear girl, I am sorry. I've known this day would come for many years and please believe me, I have been dreading it. I will try to come up with a way of helping you more in two days time. Please take care of yourself.

Yours,

Bryan Wilson



The Eva/Keir mail answers my question from earlier today in her blog post w.r.t. possibility it was credit card tracking...

EDIT: de-spoilered. yanka.
