Did you email that to Andrew yet?

Message sent and comment made on the board.
The trick in Audacity I learned here awhile ago was this. Take a stereo source and do a "Split Stereo Track" which gives you two separate tracks. Change each track to Mono. Select one track and do Effect->Invert. Then select both tracks and choose Project->Quick Mix. From there is just reversing the track and adjusting gain. This is generally a way to remove vocals from a music track, but works well if you have mono noise over a stereo track.
ETA - transcription of the message:

President Scott has implemented Stone's suggestions. These suggestions are now referred to as the Wildfire Protocol. Stone's team has been assembled to address a threat, code named "Andromeda." Try to gain access to the Wildfire intranet. With help, you will be able to find your answers there.

wildfire intranet? awesome work, MrToasty! i would never be able to do that but am awed by people who can.
any thoughts on the new challenge?
(finding the location of the wildfire intranet)
it looks like we're supposed to figure out the url but i haven't gotten anything yet. there's a 'real' site at wildfireproject.com, so that's not it, and i've tried lots of other variations but haven't found anything yet.

It's easier to follow if you already know what's going to happen

I am on it. Translation coming right up.
ETA: Pardon the awkward structure of the sentences. It's hard to preserve the original meaning without compromising the sentence structure.
FAMOUS MICROBIOLOGIST FROM CHINA ESCAPES TO AMERICA
An anonymous official in mainland China revealed that there had been a heated discussion amongst the Chinese government lately regarding the betrayal of a brilliant scientist and his escape to America. Doctor Chou Si has resigned his position as the leading engineer of People's Republic of China's microbiology committee. Chou Si graduated from Beijing University in 1988, before entering Oxford University and graduating with a Doctorate in 1993. His responsibilities and duties as part of the committee remains unknown to anyone outside, but there has been rumors that his field of research has a large importance on the engineering of biological warfare and defense. Before entering the service of the government, Chou Si has contributed to the nation by making large progresses in the research of prevention of infectious diseases.
According to a high-ranking source in the government, Chou Si's escape to America is likely to have connections with the case of an outbreak of smallpox in the region around Shanghai that occurred a few years ago. The outbreak claimed the lives of over a hundred people before the government could implement prevention measures and eradicate the disease.
P.S. Chou Si, Chou Tsi, Tsi Chou etc... it's the same. Fired off an email to Andrew too. Hope this helps.

Who are you talking to? Andrew in this post ?
I think one should not exactly be looking for recognition when they contribute to an ARG. But we thank you, all the same.

Well dang! Now that I've watched part 1, "What happened in Piedmont" makes SO much more sense. Too bad I wasn't fallowing this!
GAK!! I hate it when I miss an ARG connected to a show I want to watch!!!
