 		[EMAIL] 3/17 - Cryptidtruth "Today is the day"
Quote:
Konamouse,

You've already done what you needed to with this information - providing it to me. I now know exactly where Genero is; in fact, I am literally right on his doorstep as I write this.

There is one thing left to do, and I need all of your help for it. The post I just made explains why and how.

Let everyone know - today is the day.

I am sorry for resorting to this one more time, but I fear everything we do is being watched now, as I said before.

Gather together what help you can so that the opportunity doesn't avoid you.

 		Today is the day for what? I'll try to be on this afternoon to see what is happening. I don't want to miss the endgame if that is what he means.

Someone else please look at this- but on the post it looks to me like the first letters of each of these words are in italics. I can't quite tell about the "a" in avoid but the rest of them I'm pretty sure are italicized. Which, duh, would spell "today."

Yes, easy to see "today". Which is the title of the code and the post.

 		It was figured out that since there are 9 smaller grids of each color, that each one must be a separate grid 5per puzzle.

I've figured out the blue ones. They read:

AT 3PM NYC TIME I AM GOING TO TRY AND ACCESS GENEROS MAIN

presumably the message continues with a different color, perhaps?

And here's the orange grid solve:

THERES BOUND TO BE A PASSWORD TO FIGURE OUT ALLOWING US

And here's the purple grid solve:

SECURITY SYSTEM AND GIVE YOU ACCESS VIA MATTS WEBSITE

And here's the black grid solve:

TO SHUT DOWN THE SECURITY SYSTEM DO IT AS QUICKLY AS YOU

 		How?
How is he going to "give you access via Matt's website"????

Is he going to hack into Rainbow of Death?

Is he going to give Matt something new to post there?

Edit to add:
I'm experimenting and found this:

http://www.today.rainbowofdeath.com/remoteaccess/webcam.html

damn, I hope this works on my work computer!!!! I have picture, but no sound! Please update uF just in case?????

hello, this is cryptidtruth.
I'm in the utility building outside genero's remote lab in south korea, and i don't have much time. It will be daylight soon, and it will take me at least 15 minutes to set the explosives. Thank you all for your help; i couldn't have done this without you.

Amie, SunYi, i'm sorry i couldn't prevent the death of your loved ones. I hope my eliminating Dr. Genero will bring a small measure of relief.

Derek, i'm sorry to have used you this way. You've been there for Matt when i haven't, and for that I will be forever in your debt.

Matt, my son, i'm sorry, for everything. When Genero threatened your life and your mother's, I thought i did the right thing. I've made some choices i'll regret forever.

I must go; i'm out of time. Hopefully, you've disabled the security network and I'll gain access. If I do, i'll let you know.

thank you.

 		Well damn, I hate it when the hero dies (sacrifices).

That was definitely a Rainbow of Death at the end.

Hopefully a copy of both videos can be saved for the archives.

We showed up. *shrug*

The homepage automatically redirected to a "hidden" directory with a Flash login page. Time was of the essence, so I opened the flash to find out where it would grant us access. (We would do that in the real world, right? Genero just didn't have a server-side high security system, right?) That led to the page with the webcam, which was initially inactive. (Going back to the Flash login from that point, it appeared to accept a login without a password. I'm not sure how it was supposed to be solved, but a username and password was posted on the MHC forum afterwards.)

Then we were repeatedly refreshing the inactive webcam page until the "cameras" came up.
