Sometimes it's rubbish being in the UK: I go to get some sleep and all hell breaks loose. Top work with some of the overnight finds people!

Whoa, these guys are apparently hardcore, killing brothers and all that. A fourth vial, huh? So are we thinking a chemical/biological agent of some kind? Given that the Manhattan Project was for the development of one type of weapon, it makes sense that something that is supposedly an outgrowth of the same project to be involved in weapons development.

Dammit, site updates while I'm netless AND kane never emailed me back. *sulk*

I wonder if we'll be expected to show up at the open to the public site or something. That'd be... kinda iffy, I think, people ARGing in a government facility.

I think so too.

Been looking at the various projects... the passwords are the names of the various projects as listed on that map on the wiki (good solve, guys)
There is a fourth project name (Project Alberta), which doesn't work as a password yet.
Perhaps later?

For stupidity? I'm not seeing anything there either.

Yeah, sorry, I wrote something REALLY stupid I was embarrassed about.

But what do you mean you're not seeing anything?

Ok, the Ides of March is a quote from Julius Caesar, by Shakespeare...
It was an oracle, predicting the date of his death (March 15th if memory serves... will check on that momentarily).

So... perhaps an official countdown?

::edit::

Yes, the ides of march = March 15th..
One week, ladies and gentlemen.
Perhaps it's true, that we got to them before they were ready Smile

Hey guys! Long time lurker, finally decided to register and attempt to contribute.

Remembering from my days in Latin class that the Ides of a month changes by month, I checked Wikipedia. March's IS the fifteenth, which is coming up; however, the Ides are also connected to the full moon, and we've already had our full moon this month. Probably doesn't mean anything though.

Also--could be relevant or completely useless, but all this talk of "vials" made me think of a Biblical quote (which I actually only know from "Twelve Monkeys"--good movie). "And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever." (Lots of slightly different versions shown here.) Probably doesn't connect, but it certainly adds to the ominous atmosphere.

Yeah, and to the list of random ominous stuff, on the names:

CEO Chris Tatiano's name anagrams to NOT A CHRISTIAN and A ON ANTICHRIST ... and "Tatiano" isn't really that common a last name either, which points toward a deliberate choice.

James Atkins, not so interesting that I can see.

Also, Samuel McGaulin appears to be made up, even though Leslie Groves was very real...what does this mean?

Other names mentioned have been Luke and Rafael...sorta X-tian related, but so are most names in the western world.

I don't think it has any significance...
Not sure how religion would play into an ARG about atomic weapons.

Also, it mentions 3, MAYBE 4 vials, not seven.
With what we know, I think we just have to take it at face value for now
