Random tangent: Has anyone gotten any responses from Tyler? I asked him about the metal ball a long time ago, and heard nothing back.

Also, Ellie/Mary seems to have vanished from the nets, too. Haven't seen her online in a while.

Received a short reply from Ellie yesterday, nothing much.

Is Tyler's blog down? Looks to be gone today.


I have been getting "page cannot be found" all day, so I would say yeah, its down.

I know, it's not really Morse alike "trans"-something, but I hear it. As it weren't Morse, but a sign 533.

And here is the soundfile and speach.

Perhaps you can find out, what does he say.

After listening it over again a few times, I think it is
Code:
.---- ....- .....

which would be the 145 we needed for the enigma.

From the PDF, the biopolymers talk looks to show a possible method of delivery for a virus. The types of molecules they talk about can form bubbles (vesicles) that are soluble in water and could possibly house a virus inside.

@kosmopol.. Could you post this on the wiki or email it to me please? Or someone tell me how to pull the sound portion out of an flv...

And is there a bit of music in there too? Yeah, bored.

Thanks. So the Morse is the rotor set for the enigma (I, IV, V). Figured, but confirmed...

Kept meaning to do this... Title and authors:
Quote:
Design of nanostructured biological materials through self-assembly of peptides and proteins.
Shuguang Zhang*, Davide M Marini, Wonmuk Hwang and Steve Santoso

Abstract
Several self-assembling peptide and protein systems that form nanotubes, helical ribbons and fibrous scaffolds have recently emerged as biological materials. Peptides and proteins have also been selected to bind metals, semiconductors and ions, inspiring the design of new materials for a wide range of applications in nano-biotechnology.


Google Scholar has it if anyone is interested...

Edit 2 This is for page 3 of the pdf, which seems to be missing from the unlocked version.
Quote:
Solar rocket absorber (Patent)
ROBINSON, P I,inventor
In this patent a solar rocket absorber of rhenium tubes is used to provide heated liquid hydrogen to a thruster. The rhenium tubes are wrapped in a closed shape having an opening for receiving solar radiation for heating the liquid propellant. The vessel of rhenium tubes is held by a carbon shell which is further encased in a reradiation shield to prevent heat loss.

Okay, last one, I promise. P.4 info:
From the Ajax's Diary of Events
Quote:
Dec.13 - Anniversary of the Battle of the River Plate in 1939. Celebrated by opening fire on suspicious radar contacts detected while on patrol in the Malacca Straights

And from a history of the Teal
Quote:
On 13 December 1964 ... the minesweeper HMAS Teal, Lieutenant K. Murray, RAN, whilst operating as part of the Singaporean Straits patrol, was fired upon with automatic weapons by an unlit vessel. The attacking vessel (one of two) then shaped course for Indonesian waters but was overpowered and arrested by Teal following a further small arms engagement that resulted in the deaths of three Indonesian crew members.


What we are supposed to make of any of this, esp. the last, I don't know...

 		Seems like Ellie's site is now gone. I'm not sure what's going on with this game right now. Have we overlooked anything?

As a wise man once said:

I've got a bad feeling about this.

 		It's too bad that this looks like it is dieing out. Con08 was great and this was shaping up like it was going to be good.

I went with Tyler's website going down as being IG, and sent an email to Ilya to that effect a couple days ago, also asking for update on the sub drop. I can also see Ellie's as IG. (KSW took them down). What I have trouble with is the stopped communication from FCD and Erika.

Who has sent emails to whom?

Have we overlooked anything? Yes, probably. There's that Russian on the KSW video that kos can't make out, for instance. I'm not sure we've exhausted Geocaching. There's Ellie's Japanese friend that was tring to sneak a (BDS?) website onto her host. Have we lost the main line? I don't think so, but...

I'm in contact with Erika. She hasn't replied to my last email, but that's probably because we had a chat between the time I sent it and now.

I suppose I could try emailing her again to see if things are still going. Anything in particular I should ask?

(Also... if Ellie's site is gone, what's going on with the contest? Cancelled? :/)

 		Yes, Ellis site is gone, and it seems to be serious. I mean, in another ARG, "The Final Mill" the major site was gone after hacking (but really it was only index.html-page). All contents was online, but reachable only with saved links or bookmarks.

Ellies site is really gone - all contents are gone.

I fear, now we have not only to save Erika, but also... the Game?.. Confused

 		I am not sure what to think at this point. It seems to reason that if we were missing some important clue the PMs would give us a little nudge to point us in the right direction.

It is my hope that something will happen this weekend to let us know the game is still on, (much like last weekend) and that the lag and slow down has more to do with the PM having to live a real life and the game is a part time hobby.

I must say I thought this had at least some level of coporate sponsorship with the Fanta Banner on Ellies site and the Product Placement in Tyler's video.

On the other hand... did anyone check to make sure none of the encrypted Emails were going to the White House?

XD

This guy's been smart enough to BCC all the emails, so... Razz

Hopefully he's smart enough to not make the same mistake a certain other PM did... >_>

 		Not sure on the Etiquette here but would it be acceptable to send an email along these lines:

Quote:
Subject OOG

We are a little confused is the slow down in activity a planned part of the game or are there OOG factors causing an interruption?


Please note. I have not sent this email and am only asking if it would be appropriate to do so.
