To try and answer like, part of one of your questions, tokkii, Jeff is a computer engineer, so from an engineering standpoint, he wouldn't be so much involved with the optics equipment on the camera as much as the software and hardwiring that goes along with it. A secret government camera is useless without some secret government software to use with it! The camera specs are posted a while back... I tried to guess at what its function would be based on how Jeff described it. I'm going into engineering so I understand a good deal of the technical aspects, but not a lot of the demon-paranormal stuff that seems to be stemming off of this.

Also, has anyone gotten anywhere with the whole /mail username and pw? I think thats the next step (intercepting sni and JB's mail to eachother) to help Jeff and/or find Steve.

Welcome to ARGville. too many windows open is the story of our lives.

Ok. I've gone over that video again. Tried so hard to find something in that last spring scene and around the pumpkin. I saw faces everywhere but that's to be expected.

I'm pretty sure the voice is saying E Pi E Pi E O it sure sounds like an E before the O to me anyways.

The sounds, first there is the thing scurrying along at a fast pace in front of them making a sound like those little aliens on si-fi movies that have just gotten loose. you know what i mean? Then there is this growling sound and then something awful screams at the end of the macdonald song. Then there is something that sounds like BigFoot or Yeti moaning. Don't know what these would have to do with anything, though. Then at the end that crazy breathing sound. And I think I hear morse code in there around the area where they are examine the pumpkin. Not positive of that though, cause I can't read morse.

Personally, I believe this is more alien than demonic. just my 2 cents.

ok the wiki timeline (work in progress) is up... Remember this is my first time doing anything like this so any suggestions / help is very welcome and asked for... I've got it where you have to have permission to enter so only those I know who have been working on this with me will be allowed. (I'm not entirely sure how to do this either. so I might need help) the site is:

http://crfindings.wetpaint.com/thread/1076144/Timeline

EDIT: send me your email and I can add you to the invite list as I don't want to open it up to everyone i.e. Steve, sni, and bullerman

EDIT' I don't mind if someone wants to take this site over and run with it as I am a novice. I don't mind at all. Just want a place where we can organize thoughts and find stuff easier.

Steve' code

The original was translated to..hex
E4A6D8A4D6E8D5E6A8A4D6E8

translated to decimal
228 166 216
164 214 232
213 230 168
164 214 232

these are legitimate RGB color values... don't know how they correlate to our problem of passwords though...

Ok, I'm probably way off base here, but the second pic looks like the marsh is on fire to me. I remembered "bring built on secrets". So I went and googled fires in the cedar rapids area.

Here are a couple of links to what (for the reports) was a HUGE explosion at a place called Douglas Starch Works. Was in 1919. 43 people died.

http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9B07E1D8163AE03ABC4B51DFB3668382609EDE&oref=slogin

http://www.cedar-rapids.org/fire/history.asp Go to the 1919 entry.

Obviously a real event, but interesting nonetheless. I'm going to prowl google a little more with the other names of towns we have.

(edited because there was a sentence that made NO sense)

Jeff just emailed me. Nothing really revealing other than the fact, he has no real proof he knew Steve before he got sick. He pointed out to me though that it's not exactly easy to prove you know anyone. Which is true.

He also reiterated to me that Steve's house is empty and it looks like no one has lived there for months. Until I read about your email Natas I was starting to wonder if Steve was a ghost or something hehe. That is quite creepy, sine is mathematical and we know Steve does that kind of thing. Do astrological signs come with numbers? I don't know enough about it and the volumes of info are staggering. I'm hoping we have an fan on the board or someone who researched it for...something else. Smile

The last time I was at his house, everything was gone.... like nobody had lived there for months. I need to find Steve, I feel like I'm alone now.


People go post something on the poor man's blog. Smile Also, should we tell Jeff we've heard from Steve? I have not replied yet, and if/when I do, I will not mention Steve's mash note.

i just emailed steve like 2 minutes ago... since my emails for some reason don't go to my sentbox.. here is the gist of it..
I asked him how he was feeling, if he has taken the pill and that I have had contact with steve. Then I quoted Steve's email to me and asked Jeff's opinion.
I am currently waiting on what everyone thinks I should reply to Steve.

chronic interstitial pneumonia sine tubercle

tuberculosis

leo = aprox. july 23 to aug 22

Also goggling these words: pneumonia sine tubercle leo gets us fluoroquinolone which someone mentioned way back in this thread.

Is this what's wrong with Jeff? Does he have pneumonia or tuberculosis or both. But, I don't know how that would fit our story. anyone else. gotta do the research.

OR, is that fluoroquinolone what those pills are. If so, then.

Jeff, don't take that pill!

It could also be a big anagram, but there would be so many possibilities we would have to narrow it down by using words related to our plot.

It's after 1:00 am and I'm getting tired. I will be going to bed soon. Will keep looking into this for as long as I can tonight. Hope this helps guys.

Natas, just in case, maybe you should tell Jeff not to take that Pill just yet.

Doing a quick look over, it appears that fluoroquinolone inhibit DNA replication and transcription. Maybe that is what is keeping Jeff from fully mutating. DNA is to deep a subject for me tonight. But we have got to make the connection and maybe find Jeff a new cure or we might lose him to either the effects of the fluoroquinolone or we lose him to what ever he is mutating into.

What to do, what to do????????

I hope that made sense, I am soo tired.

edit: Just saw your link to the Sine LEO and looking at the site now.

Fluoroquinolones are broad spectrum antibiotics. Cipro is the brand name of one of them. Wasn't that the one they were pumping during the anthrax scare a few years back? If that's all the pill is, and he does have pneumonia or some sort of bacterial infection, it would make him better. We're back to bacteria.

Fluoroquinolones have some NASTY side effects, it's because they are very powerful antibiotics. It's number 2 of the big guns, right after Vancyomyacin. FYI that is spelled VERY badly. My mom had several MRSA and antibiotic resistant infections (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) so she was put on some powerful antibiotics including Cipro. Made her lose her sense of smell.

So, yeah he should wait on that pill for now, but if he gets worse he better take his chances.

(Total weirdness: That link Natas about LEOs and MK ULTRA? I just read the entire blog of the Indian Lake Project not 2 hours ago. CREEEEEEEPY.)
