 		for everyone
I'm posting this for those who are following the game but not receiving the emails.

The email we received from JC on Monday (Tuesday early am, October 29)

Quote:
I really don't trust Saul.

I know that's probably not a good thing to say, but the more I think about it, the more I am sure I dont. I'm not going to go into the details of how we met, but ever since we started working together... I've had a bad feeling. He's kept me in the dark about a lot of things... which is understandable--since he's a freaking secret agent and everything--but I dont know. Something feels "wrong" and I can't put my finger on it. Ever felt that way?

I mean it's not his temper, or the fact that he treats me like a kid... it's almost like... I feel like he's lying to me, but I can't say about what. Ugh. Maybe I'm just being paranoid... I took an online personality test once, and it said I might suffer from paranoia. Probably true. Anyways... enough rambling from me... here's the drop I wrote up for this Monday.

***
Red Monday is in 27 days.

So, if you're reading this, you're probably trying to find more information about the Event, Red Monday. Unfortunately, I don't have all the answers… yet, but every week a clearer picture is starting to emerge.

Here's what we know so far:

You can call me JC. I'm working as an informant for a man named Saul, who is a member of the NCS. I'm a civilian, and I work in IT. I established Red-Monday.com as a drop-point for Saul and his fellow g-men to download documents and information about the "Event."

The "Event," whatever it is, is slated to occur on November 26th, 2007 , agreed to and authorized by a man whom we only know as "The Prince." I discovered this information while combing through some Echelon files provided to me by one of Saul's associates, a woman whom I only know as "Echelon/3."

We suspect that the "Prince" is in fact a man named Khalid bin Sultan, but this is not confirmed. Khalid is a member of the Saudi Royal Family and a military man. Though he is today an accomplished philanthropist, he was at one point exiled from his country, possibly for challenging the (then) king's authority. Whatever his motives at that time, he appears to changed his focus entirely, now concentrating on issues like education and environmental protection. So it seems.

What is more unsettling, however, is that I've discovered many references linking him with an individual known as "AQ." By all indications, this is none other than the father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb: Abdul Qadeer Khan. Moreover, Saul has made me aware of a recent. meeting between this "AQ" and Khalid at a nuclear power plant in Pakistan. The implications of such a meeting, by itself, are enough to make me concerned.

However, I don't know what happened at the meeting, so I need to confirm that there is really something going on here, besides idle conversations. Without any evidence that the Saudi's are building (or buying) a bomb, we're just groping in the dark. So now I'm looking for evidence that this might really be happening.

So far, I've been pretty fruitless, as the server has been pretty much idle the past week or so. I did come across something new, though, but what it pertains to I'm not sure:

I downloaded this satellite photo from a locked directory named "debrief." There were other files in the directory, but they looked like they were corrupted.

Does anyone have any idea where this is? Saul's team is busy dealing with some kind of directive from higher up about Iran … so I can't pull official resources for SatAnalysis on that one. Besides, I don't think I'm ready to loop him in on this, until I'm sure something is really going on.

I'll be trying match this with a set of actual coordinates, too. Let me know what you find.

~ JC

Okay, after close examination of the logo in the corner, I'm fairly sure I can make out the phrase "KMA 100 Years" along the bottom. The closest match for KMA is the Kutiyana Memon Association, which is based out of Karachi, Pakistan. Hard to say, though. It doesn't seem to fit beyond the Pakistan association.

Beyond that, I'm deadlocked on it. I'm looking for other permutations of KMA, coming up largely empty handed; the Korean Meteorological Administration seems somewhat possible, given that they would be likely candidates for taking aerial/satellite pictures.

That's all I've got, unfortunately...

Personally, I think we're over-thinking it. Someone said on the thread (I don't recall whom) that it looked fairly like the Saudi coat of arms... has anyone looked closely at Saudi Arabia via satellite, yet?

OK, I THINK I've got something on the satellite picture. The folder was 'Debrief', correct? So this picture is related to something that's already happened. It looks a LOT like the Al Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center that the Israelis blew up back in 1981. I've attached a Google Earth capture of this site as it appears now -- the outline of the buildings especially seems to match.

 		e-mail from JC w/satellite2
From JC:

Hmm... I've gone ahead and overlaid the two satellite photos--what do you
guys think?

Also, check out the area highlighted in yellow. Do you see it?

For quick reference, here is the image that goes with that email.

 Description   However, JC says. "Im not sure if the Iraqi connection is the way to go."
So this can be eliminated as a possibility.

Maybe not -- I didn't overlay the sat picture, I just eyeballed it,
but it does look like it doesn't match up as closely as I thought.

I had figured the red area was a reactor site that was destroyed in
the attack, so it doesn't show up anymore. I'll keep looking, though.


a member of the Order of The Black Knights wrote:
Well, it's certainly logical. As of 2002, the Tuwaitha facility was the only weapons complex in Iraq armed with nuclear materials. Not sure when exactly this changed, but they sure aren't there anymore; in fact, as far as I can tell, nobody's really sure where they went.
( http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_132913.html )

It's possible they've since been recovered (that article is from 2003), but on the other hand, maybe not. Do you think that that has something to do with all this?


I believe that's up to date. Guys everything needs to be posted here on uF so that players who do not want to be on the mail list and the lurkers can have equal access to the info as well. One of them may be the one with the "ah ha" moment.

Thank you for posting all of that, Sylvia! We could all use some additional a-ha! eyes.

 		I asked him if it was Iraqi Tuwaitha Research facility. Here was his response.

 		Okay, regarding that file name, "Erq Frn Pbnfg" ROT13's to "Red Sea Coast".

I'm gonna go look into that!

EDIT:

Also, in the background (it's faint) you can make out a palm tree symbol BUT it's a different palm tree symbol than was on the satellite photo itself. It's a palm tree with two crossed swords which is Saudi Arabia. If we needed any more confirmation of the Saudi Arabia thesis, that should do it.

The closest thing I can think of is if you turn all those 6s to As and 4s to Bs it looks like a Baconian cipher (http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/baconian.php) but that just turns out nonsense as far as I can tell. It gave me "BNW F FA", which doesn't make much sense.

I do not see the emblem in the background of the screenshot.
