 		What we figured out in Ventrilo
The password is the same as Edwin's since the box belongs to him...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Which is un: Edwin pw: Vitruvianman
The clues on the page point us to Berlin (phone #, "Am I in DE?", and some of the images are in Germany. Edwin was alerted via email by ForumLurker and UnVoice, and he's replied that he'll leave tomorrow morning.


I don't remember all of the specifics, so if anyone wants to list those it'll be a big help.

 		I'm trying to translate Morcar's content. If there's a (?) after a word, I'm not sure that it's correct. If I just have no f-ing clue at all, I'll omit the sentence and put (???).

Please feel free to suggest alternatives to what I 'translated', and especially feel free to post suggestions for the ones I can't figure out.

 		The number 49.30.25531234 would appear to be
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The telephone number of the Grand Hyatt, Berlin, Germany - see http://www.berlin.grand.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp

 		I would definitely say he's in Germany. He sent me an e-mail that said something like 'th wal" which probably means the Berlin Wall which he pictured in one of the logs in the Box.

I think that he's been sucked into the machine and the machine has been taken to Germany by the Korp and that's why he's trapped in it but sees all of these images from Germany.

My two cents.

 		Guess I'll post this here too since it deals with the 4S section specifically.

Hello, Edwin. My name is Sujin, though I'm better known as unVoice.
I'd like to help with the Morcar situation.

Going through the information Morcar's left in The Box, I and a fellow Passenger, Lurker, gathered a few things. He gave the number "# 49.30.25531234" which is a telephone number for a restaurant called Vox at the Grand Hyatt Berlin hotel. At one point in Morcar's messages, he says "...sorry sir, nein...no." which seems to be said to Morcar by another party who also mentions the Korporation.

Perhaps this is where The Box and therefor Morcar is being held?

Yes...another sent me a similar message just before. This seems very

A few photos Morcar had in his messages are places from Berlin, Germany.

Morcar posted http://www.silverladder.com/spades/4s/images/image012108.jpg
Which is http://berlin.metblogs.com/archives/2007/10/pull_the_plug.phtml

Morcar also posted http://www.silverladder.com/spades/4s/images/image011808.jpg
Which is http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/01/german_arch/source/1.htm

Morcar also seem to think my may be in Germany, with the message "m i in DE?" which seems to mean "Am I in DE?" DE being the country code for Deutschland/Germany.

All signs seem to point in this direction.

Hope there won't be any trouble.
Morcar seems quite upset about this whole thing (understandably).
I'd like to see him safe as soon as possible.
Please be careful.

Edwin is in Germany and has found Morcar.

I've found him! I think I can save him. It seems he's set the Box's
threshold as high as it can go...and there's been a terrible side effect.

I'm working on it as we speak.

uV says humbug to logging
Guest


 		The only connecting I see with the e13d21 in Morcar's message is when Googled, the only result (besides this thread lawl) is a German site. But when I searched n52d30, I don't get anything important, so it could have just been a coincidence. :U

Hooray Edwin! <3
I hope Morcar can be restored. :[
