Our Union Station used to be part of Amtrak, but they cut service to us in the 90s, so now it's just a historic landmark. I'm not sure if there's really anything there at all anymore.

And yeah, that download machine thing was insane, which is why I continued searching for other ones. I was pretty sure I was doing everything wrong until I found the neat easy one.

I'm not sure what you mean by visual, but I'll give it a shot. I asked around with the group of people I do ARGs with on the internet and some of the guys that were going to PM the promotional one I was going to start and they sent me to CipherClerk's Applet. So, from there I copied and pasted the first code into the text box and then it asked me for ten numbers and some substitution letters. I put in our roman numerals and assumed I wasn't going to get anything because I don't know the substitution letters. And I didn't get anything, but noticing that the output contained computer code, I put in the other code with the same numbers and didn't change the letters and got the address. Maybe we need to find sub letters to get the first part?

Stupid t52 download...

I live near and go to school in Phoenix, but I'm unfamiliar with Union Station. I've only gone by there a couple of times, and I didn't even know it was open to the public (or if it is, if anyone even goes there anymore.)

Perhaps the mysterious box is a way to get donations for preserving historic landmarks.

Kidding, kidding...

Hmmm...although, that wouldn't be a bad way to do it, now that I think about it...

The 2nd half is probably more specific information as to a location at the station for something (Like a locker key) or a time to meet.

Nobody goes there. It's really not a happening place at all unless you need a place for you and your shopping cart of goodies to crash for the night.

Congrats on the second part! I didn't even consider solving that part first. Although this solve strengthens my expectation that the first part isn't Enigma.

I've got a Vigenere crib-dragging excel sheet for the first part. Can anybody think of good plaintext candidates? I've tried "key" (too short to see anything) and "locker" (nothing stuck out).

I've been wondering about the first code in conjunction with the letter I got, and maybe it's nothing? The letter said I would be receiving other orders because the code was intercepted. Unless the person who gave the box to me was the one who intercepted it from this HC place... I don't know. I haven't made any headway on the first code either.

Maybe I'm wrong, because I still haven't received anything new.

aninterloper, how about the third message in the box, DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER? I might have missed it, but I don't think anyone has linked it to anything.

I'm jealous of you, Rimmer, you get your own personal ARG.

I finally got something new! I leave my windows just a little bit open so it's not as hot inside when I get in, and someone had thrown in a CD. As soon as I get home, I'll see if there are any files on it. Maybe this will be the key we need for that first part. My fingers are crossed.

The windows of my car. I guess I just assumed you guys can read my mind.
