Let me just throw this out there as well - food for thought, if you will.

On Gabriel's page he says:
Quote:
Hey, everyone, this is Gabriel. I'm a small town guy living in a small, backwards state...

Basically, life isn't great.

The other day we saw something in the sky... IM me and I'll tell you about it.

Maybe.


Then, as Nachoman found in the source:
Quote:
My life has been turned upside down. My friends are all behaving really weirdly... HELP!


backwards and upside down?? again, could just be symantics - but thought I'd put it out there...


This whole backwards upside down thing might be a clue as well. If the zenith = 12am or pm, then upside down/backwards would be 6:30pm or am, right? Just food for thought, lets see what he says on you guys that emailed.

 		It just said thank you, and then the link to the image of the email adress.

I have emailed them, but I'm guessing they might prefer using yahoo messenger.

 		I just had a chat with afallenlife. I think I might have surprised him a bit (thinks the gov is watching him, told him I encrypt my chats Razz).
I shouldn'tve done that though Embarassed


Here's the transcript:
4:47:34 PM redcti: hello?
4:47:40 PM afallenlife: hi
4:47:41 PM afallenlife: who's this?
4:47:55 PM redcti: Are you a friend of Gabriel Lawson?
4:48:15 PM redcti: Someone referred me to you. If you're not, sorry for disturbing you Smile
4:49:16 PM afallenlife: I am a friend of Gabriel's.
4:49:19 PM afallenlife: who are you?
4:49:55 PM redcti: Gabriel gave me a puzzle to solve. He said that he would talk to me once I solved the puzzle
4:50:07 PM afallenlife: did you solve the puzzle?
4:50:09 PM redcti: Yes.
4:50:27 PM redcti: You can check with gabriel if you want
4:50:35 PM afallenlife: what was the answer?
4:50:51 PM redcti: I gave him 2 - he didn't specify which was the right one
4:50:54 PM redcti: this is what I gave him:
4:51:12 PM redcti: "Hey again! Smile I solved your puzzle.
Puzzle was @ freewebs.com/hiddenpuzzle
The clue was "the blue moon was high in the sky
the zenith of the clock"
Here's my answer:
12AM
The most recent blue moon was June 30 2007, the next one is May 2008. "
4:51:17 PM redcti: copied from my email to him
4:51:31 PM afallenlife: ok... yeah
4:51:36 PM redcti: Was that correct?
4:51:56 PM afallenlife: yep, pretty much
4:52:01 PM afallenlife: but I'm not supposed to say anything
4:52:05 PM afallenlife: they might be watching me...
4:52:20 PM redcti: gabriel mentioned that the gov. might be watching you. that true?
4:52:28 PM afallenlife: yeah
4:52:33 PM afallenlife: I'm not sure to what extent
4:52:56 PM afallenlife: but these men in black have been wandering our town ever since... you know
4:53:00 PM afallenlife: but no!
4:53:02 PM afallenlife: bad michael
4:53:03 PM afallenlife: bad bad bad
4:53:06 PM redcti: hmm?
4:53:07 PM afallenlife: use Gabriel's info
4:53:11 PM afallenlife: I can't talk about that here
4:53:14 PM redcti: you mean talk to him?
4:53:24 PM afallenlife: well... if you solved the puzzle then you know what to do
4:53:34 PM redcti: yes I do
4:53:46 PM afallenlife: ok
4:53:46 PM afallenlife: well
4:53:47 PM afallenlife: yeah
4:53:54 PM redcti: btw, I can encrypt this chat if you're getting a bit worried about the government
4:54:06 PM afallenlife: please
4:54:11 PM redcti: ok
4:54:13 PM afallenlife: even though they can decrypt
4:54:34 PM redcti: according to what I've found out, it'd take them a few months to decrypt this
4:54:40 PM afallenlife: oh, cool
4:54:50 PM redcti: they'd have to go through billions and billions of combinations to crack this stuff
4:55:06 PM afallenlife: coolness

4:57:35 PM redcti: anyways, should I talk to gabriel
4:57:39 PM redcti: or continue talking to you
4:57:47 PM afallenlife: well doesn't matter
4:57:53 PM afallenlife: if you want to know about... yeah, then he'd be the one
4:57:57 PM afallenlife: he'd kill me if i said something bad
4:58:00 PM redcti: wow
4:58:08 PM afallenlife: figuratively of course
4:58:11 PM redcti: oh Razz
4:58:29 PM redcti: Thanks for your help
4:58:45 PM redcti: I'll talk to gabriel when I can talk to him
4:59:14 PM redcti: bye Smile
4:59:18 PM afallenlife: ok, awesome, lol
4:59:21 PM afallenlife: he's a busy kid
4:59:25 PM redcti: I'd guess
4:59:37 PM redcti: especially if the thing that happened is what I'm thinking
4:59:49 PM afallenlife: the thing... yeah. right. Razz
4:59:54 PM redcti: I've been going through possibility based on the stuff he's told me
5:00:01 PM redcti: But really, it could be pretty much anything Smile
5:00:12 PM redcti: I'm just taking wild guesses
5:00:35 PM afallenlife: well don't take them here
5:00:46 PM redcti: ok
5:00:47 PM redcti: bye Smile
5:00:56 PM afallenlife: bye
5:00:57 PM afallenlife: lol

 		Got a response from the new email:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There was something in the sky. Something awful. It was large, round, and red.

All of the residents of our town saw it, and we are all terrified. Since then,
things have been happening... bad things. People are acting strangely. We
don't know what to do.

There are men in black crawling all over the town... sometimes literally. We
think it was aliens... they're posessed. They're posessed and we don't know how
to tell who it is. IM me at nglfthsky.


Never used Yahoo Messenger, I'll see if I can get it working..

 		I'm at the same point too. I talked with afallenlife, he said he is probably going into television as a career, he thinks the government is watching his online conversations. He also sent me a hex code that said I'm not supposed to tell anyone. So if you talk to him don't mention it because I don't want him to get mad at me. Laughing

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
afallenlife: can I trust you with something?
afallenlife: 69207468696E6B206761627269656C206D61792 06265206F6E65206F66207468656D2E2020646F 6E27742074656C6C20616E79626F64792E2020 0D0A0D0A692077696C6C20676574206D6F7265 20696E666F726D6174696F6E20746F20796F752 0736F6F6E2E2E2E00

 		Gabriel also said that his friends were acting crazy in his source code too. Sounds like they are both suspicious of each other. But why?
