It seems as though distortion is following our trail, consuming the spirits we find if we can't help them to "freedom".
I don't know if it's too late for Mona, but could it be that her hex masterpiece was the fulleye image on /equinox?
Could someone post that image on the Craig's list? Take a screen shot, and email it to Mona?

While I don't think that's what mona was asking for, I did as you asked and sent the image to her.

Tresbien, thank you very much for doing that. I know it's a long shot, but desperate times....

The sad truth is it's not the most desperate thing I've ever done for an ARG.

Just in case it helps I've turned the eye.jpg into a Hex shape and sent it to Mona yet not by any standard a masterpiece.
Sadly, it sounds like she is definitely gone. G'Nite...

That new audio on the equinox page is awfuly freaky. "Love the distortion" is not the audio I was hoping for. Lets hope Mona can cut through Uncle D one more time...

I keep listening to that sound clip hoping to find some other message in it, but no luck. All I'm getting is "we/you love the distortion," some evil-sounding laughter, and some roaring/screaming-ish noises (If you turn the clip backwards, the last scream sort of sounds like "help" but not very clearly and it might be wishful thinking on my part). =/
So now what?
I feel like we should try to find more pages/people before D gets to them, but I'm not sure where to look. I've tried adding various extensions to the URLs, but nothing I've tried so far has worked.

[Update] audio equinoxtransmission2 massivedistortenslaves The audio file on http://www.voicesinthestatic.com/equinox/ has changed again. The ID3 tag is "massivedistortenslaves". I'm having a hard time figuring out what Mona is saying. Part of it in reverse sounds like "he enslaves me".
I've attached the mp3 and a
reserved
reversed version as well.
LOL. Edited the spelling. That's my dyslexia coming out for staying up until the wee hours of the morning with this mystery.

I think about 1/3 way in I hear "______will find me" but can't catch the first part. Thanks for the reversed audio drizjr.

I'm pretty sure I caught the "he enslaves me." Let me run this through with a few pitch and speed adjustments and see if I can get anything to come out more clearly. There were more words there, I'm pretty sure, but I can't make out what they were.

I turn my sound off whenever I enter the page because I don't want to listen to those pig screams, I'd never have noticed the change. Well done drizjr!
All I hear is 'he enslaves me'.

Click the link for a slightly clearer version of the clip with Mona's words. Sorry it's not an mp3. My sound program only wanted to give me a wav. Anyway, there is definitely something after "he enslaves me" but I still can't make it out through the pig screams. See what you can get out of this.
My ears so far get: "He enslaves me, he (garble) me."
Maybe you can turn that garble into a word(s?).

OK, about as clean as it gets attached. First two phrases I believe are "Do not feed the beast. He enslaved me." Haven't quite made out the last phrase yet - maybe "He's in my plane."

Thank you, MrToasty! That's great! How do you do that?
The last phrase might be "receive my plea" which is something we've heard Mona say before.
