So, the Einstein-Rosen bridge... seems to be something to do with faster-than-light travel, and wormholes. I'm assuming this is the way he wants to go back in time to change whatever went wrong.

The talk of internal organs rupturing, etc, seems to fit with the video we saw. He looked in a bad way.

I'll look over the letters. Smile

Yeah I figured possibly that the guy was shot/stabbed but the rupturing makes sense now. He's gone 'back' to warn himself not to get on the train maybe? And the experiment isn't complete yet, thus causing him to experience what the mic/lab rats did?

Pretty simple:

ROT-10 decrypts it to 01DYB-LMTH.LETOH/ENOLA which I'll assume is another directory on your existing site, /alone/hotel.html but i haven't tried it to see what the BYD10 might be for.

and that gets you video #2 (just not where you were looking before) -- and pay attention after he hangs up the phone, there is a frame that flashes what might be a semacode, where he's left the frame and all you see is the bed.

Woohoo, movie2!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
He's messing around with something electronical. Personally, I'd cut the red wire. Wink

More phone calls too, it seems. Though no number this time.

I'd say it's the same room as before, too. Which makes sense with the letter; he jumped back in time, was displaced, suffered internal injuries etc.

Personally, I'd expected an interdimensial portal-maker to be bigger. Wink

Time on his watch I make to about 2.10 am/pm.


And that's all folks! Laughing

I'm not sure what to make of the new letter?

Just a little rundown of what he says in the one sided phone convo for those without speakers or just hearing impaired.

Quote:
Hey it's me... I, didn't expect you to answer this I just, I just wanted to let you know that... I'm gonna fix this. Make everything, okay...


Now, this CLEARLY seems to happen prior to the 1st video. It seems like *he's* going back in time to warn someone else, not to get on the train as evidently.... "SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS"

And the letter.


Thank you for the warm welcome, I'm a riddle fanatics forum regular but they're not very active and I'm looking to keep on riddling and ya'll seem really active =D.


As for the new letter..

Maybe we have to try and go into the 'past' with him?

In case we were looking for another website, I tried /whatwas.html, thisisthestartofwhatwas.html and thestartofwhatwas.html.

No dice.

How the heck did this guy arbitrarily pick me? Was it Notes to Mary? Maybe leftover love from Thisisnotporn? Whatever. I guess I've been recruited too. I'll be a bit more thorough later tonight and start going nuts on this stuff.
