 		I thought maybe the "Turn the wheel once" had to do with the other code as well. My first thought was that it referred to the ENIGMA Cipher, but after several tries of turning each wheel once, all I got was gibberish.

I also played with the letters, speculating and changing letters here and there. This is what I got:
Quote:

Fhjl shfjkla hfjloaufgo l; h jfoshjklhfljaosj oui oljkosafn lofjsa
Fhjl shfjkla hfjlnaufgn l; h jfnshjklhfljansj nur nljknsafn lnfjsa
Fhjl shfjkla hfjlbaufgb l; h jfbshjklhfljansj bui bljknsafb lbfjsa

Raei sareki areiorgo l; a erosaekiarleose of oiekosro iores

Cael sacekla acelnaurgn l; a ecnsaeklacleanse nui nljknsaan lncjsa


Each line is a separate try. I didn't bother making a key, but you can see compared to the original:

Quote:
Fhjl shfjkla hfjlnaufgn l; h jfnshjklhfljansj nui nljknsafn lnfjsa


which letters were changed, except in the last case, I took out completely all u's and n's because they were the only odd letters out (referring to the previous theory that the code was compromised only of the center letters on a keyboard.)

It's the 15th and I'm afraid we've failed...

They are written backwards, that's a given.

 		Message 1:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Vigenere using "MEMORIA" as key:

I must take leave.

You must continue without my guidance.

I've prepared you as best as I can.

STOP JACK.


Message 2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Vigenere, using "PRIUS" as the key returns the same text, backwards.

Well, the body is, yes. The messages contain each other's key, though.

 		Well today is the Ides of March.
Eli left us a youtube video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqXNgqzAl_E

At 1:21 there is an image of something Eli wrote to us:

At the end if you listen closely you can hear Jessica leaving a message to Jack on something about how they were supposed to go to a photoshoot on Saturday (today). I didn't quite see the significance in it..but maybe you will ?


Also, there is a part in the video that is rewound..anyone able to play this forward to find out what it says ?

Contents of the message that quickly flashes on during the video:


Quickly. omnis has decided i must withdraw. he cannot risk any other alterations to the timeline. my orders are to erase any existence of eli, but you can't let that happen. turn him legend, for the timeline's sake. he mist exist in some form or fashion.

omnis is not thinking clearly.
his reasoning is very past.

do whatever you can. create your own monument, share his story, tell your friends. he has to be known. let me see proof. all i can do his keep him from existing - he will disappear. but the timeline itself is still damaged. jack has what he wanted. what eli created and gave unwillingly will remain. it would take too much vicis vitas to remove someone entirely.

with my last probe i located jack's private log, which he began yesterday to alert his benefactors and sponsors of his success. you must utilize it to the best of your ability. obtain what information you can. it is priusmemoria.blogspot.com

he already has jessica. listen close and long.

your work is appreciated. continue to show the same devotion and we will stop him.

i will be watching as often as i can.

As for the bit at the end that you can barely hear:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hey Jack? It's Jessica.

Maybe you forgot but we were supposed to have that photoshoot today? It was scheduled for Saturday, right? I don't mean to nag or anything but I just want to make sure that we're still on. I don't want this to fizzle out or anything. Call me back, okay?

 		So how do we memorialize Eli? Ideas?

Jessica = Lither I guess?

We have Jack's email, what do we do with it? Do we ask him for the co-ordinates? I think I'm going to try to ask for them.

 		I posted a short video response on youtube to memorialize Eli, hopefully it will help and our watcher will notice. I'll post the link here when it's done processing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQxutYbmvIM

 		I bit the bullet and emailed Jack, perhaps it will move things along.
Email to Jack wrote:

To whom this may concern, et al,

I urge you to not discard this message as ravings of a mad man on the steps of the capitol, Dr. Devoux, because I represent a group of deep pocketed investors who are at present very interested in your work. So far they have been pleased with your results, following closely the culmination of your ARECAS project. This could be a very beneficial alliance for both parties concerned. However, they require a much more informed view of your work before proceeding any further with introductions or business discussions. Perhaps information on the general direction and current progress of LITHER will ease their worries? Until such time as they see fit, I will remain as their intermediary.

Thank you for your time,
Mr. Kint


I figure being open with this guy is the last thing we want to do right now. If he takes the bait I'll come up with a company name later.

 		I have received an email reply from Jack. (I sign my messages Imaginary Friend and use the address my.own.imaginary.friendSPLATgmail.com, incase you were wondering about that)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Mr. Friend,

My apologies, I wasn't aware that Grassroots Ltd. have already begun the crossover.

I have attached the full log from the ARECAS files. For your convienience, I have isolated the target data in the log.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jack Devoux, Sc.
