from lizzie about Yuki

Quote:
Yori always used to talk about her little Yuki. I didn't ever meet him but he used to speak to me on the phone sometimes. I think she called him Yuki as a joke, well, that's what she said to me as he was a little black pug dog.

I was just worried about him as he will have been on his own without Yori & he won't have known what was happening!! So I'm pleased that she's back & they're with each other again.

Lizzie

OK, thanx, MrT, it does mean, this book order is OOG. (I thought, if it were only pictures, it could content some hints)

And the reply of Liz make me think we can trust her, but be careful in our communication with Yori (and to look for her hidden hints to us).

Nice job, everyone!

Anyway, since you all beat me to posting about Yuki...

Someone should ask John if he can get his techie friend to make an ISO of the CD. Maybe even two. I just thought of it this morning, and it seems like the easiest way to back it up in case he puts in the counter-password.

Library find

Hey guys. It turns out that I am extremely busy today. However, I made time to go to the library. I didn't find anything special in any of the books that Eric had recently checked out. A couple of them were not on the shelf at all.

However, one of the books that were in the pictures contained a USB drive. On it is a txt file and a wmv file. I don't know how to upload the video for you to see. Help.

Here is the text from the txt file. the file is called "Hi_john.txt".
Quote:
Hello John.

This is the last thing that I am leaving here before I go to Japan.
I am trying to infiltrate the Enlightenment Society for Kitsune.
Maybe they have a cure for what i have, but that is only the second
objective. If we fail, is up to you to stop them.

There is so little time left.

Putfile?

http://media.putfile.com/Kitsune-video-from-Eric-to-John

I don't know how to use putfile really. Will this work?

The original name of the file is KITSUNE56.wmv

It works. Ok bbl. I gotta run. BTW I don't know if i'm just paranoid or what, but some people were kind of staking out the shelves where I needed to go.

There was a lot in that video.

Some things I noticed:

- starts at Enlightenment Society Research Facility

- at 1 second a Night cam shot of someone - presumably a Prometheus in a cell holding their head and screaming

- at 4 seconds a code (unable to capture the screen at work here)

- at 6 seconds a vet? doing something to what looks like a small dog in a sling

- at 10 seconds the words "Junker Paramilitary Forces Gjallarhorn Kriegspiel" which is German for Wargame

- at 12 seconds Failure of Picses 1 to launch, expodes, shortly after it says Kitsune sabotaged it

- at 16 seconds "Transportation of T.E.N.G.U. units, with a string of major city names

- ending off with a pair of foxes

Edit to add my best shot at transcribing the code (check for errors if you have a better method than pausing it Wink )

Interesting.

The weird thing is, the prison scenes are very like the clips Ive filmed in German prison museum

well, they are all the same, though

the foxes are surely for Kitsune (in Japanese: fox)

I got the same thing Bartock.

I think the blank spaces are lower case L.

Perhaps there are some errors, because base64 shows me

If you put lower case L's in the spaces and put it in a BASE64 decoder you get:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Hmm now are the K.O.I. experimental subjects people taking Athena before they figured out how to extract it properly? Or are they people that Athena has been extracted from?

Looks like I'm late to the party. So, does this give us anything to use?

ETA: Going to go ahead and send a link to Lizzie and John.

So, Kitsune sabotaged the Piscis I launch. And koi is really the acronym K.O.I. - any ideas what that stands for?

ETA2:

Just received email from 'Yori'
Quote:
My cat is doing allright thank you ^_^
It should be the password, tell him to use it right away to open the program!

Yeah, I think she's dead for reals...

I emailed that to John as well and suggested seeing if he could still access the account.

but if Yori is dead, and a junker (acting like yori) suggested to use the password, does that mean that the one the junker suggested is incorrect.
A junker would want the disc to be destroyed.

What a tongue twister.


Perhaps the film could be used by Lizzie to expose Junker.
