(14:25:34) Scott: hmm
(14:25:42) Scott: i guess i need to figure out what that says
(14:26:25) Scott: anything else i can do for you while i work on that?
(14:27:47) worsleyadam: yes
(14:28:00) worsleyadam: I just got back
(14:28:04) worsleyadam: to the US
(14:28:0Cool worsleyadam: i left last night

(14:28:43) worsleyadam: the year we heard KHAQQ calling Itasca. We must be on you but cannot see you...gas is running low...
(14:28:57) worsleyadam: that is where you will know to find me. I cannot say too much on here
(14:29:37) Scott: understood
(14:29:43) Scott: good luck
(14:29:52) worsleyadam: i will need it
(14:29:5Cool worsleyadam: I found them all dead last night
(14:30:06) worsleyadam: that is why I had to run
(14:30:21) Scott: damn
(14:30:39) worsleyadam: i knew I should have gotten them involved
(14:30:46) worsleyadam: are they still tapping and stalking you?
(14:31:1Cool Scott: i dont think so
(14:31:27) Scott: hard to tell sometimes, though
(14:31:4Cool worsleyadam: i am so sorry if I ever caused you trouble
(14:31:54) worsleyadam: i'm sorry I left for so long too
(14:32:02) worsleyadam: i had to hide until everything calmed down
(14:32:37) Scott: i understand
(14:32:56) worsleyadam: Do you remember what this was all about?
(14:34:16) Scott: well, it started with the letter and your granddad
(14:34:23) worsleyadam: right
(14:34:33) Scott: and it ended with you drunkenly telling me that i sucked
(14:34:42) worsleyadam: ?
(14:34:49) worsleyadam: i never said anything like that to you
(14:35:11) Scott: then someone has been using your account
(14:35:25) worsleyadam: I said I had to lay low for a while and then got caughtup with the KGB military
(14:35:37) worsleyadam: It wasnt me
(14:35:52) worsleyadam: it could have been them....rememeber the Luther Light?
(14:36:02) Scott: yeah
(14:36:13) Scott: you went to the cave in russia
(14:36:17) Scott: because of them
(14:36:1Cool worsleyadam: right
(14:36:24) worsleyadam: to find my grandfather
(14:36:2Cool worsleyadam: turn out he wasnt there
(14:36:3Cool worsleyadam: but now i think i know where he is
(14:36:53) Scott: are you headed there now?
(14:37:23) worsleyadam: no i have no car. I had to sleep at Cammilus house last night and now I'm a the library
(14:38:0Cool worsleyadam: I need to find a steady place to stay for a while.....we had everything planned
(14:38:27) worsleyadam: we were going to intercept communications during today's presidential speech
(14:38:33) worsleyadam: but I found them all dead
(14:38:36) worsleyadam: so I had to run
(14:39:05) worsleyadam: we were going to reveal all the proof we had. It was enough to lock away these bastards for all of eternity
(14:39:34) Scott: well, you're safe and the proof is safe right?
(14:39:37) Scott: that's a start
(14:39:40) worsleyadam: yea
(14:39:46) worsleyadam: but for much longer?
(14:40:12) Scott: true, they are a wily bunch. they won't give up.
(14:40:43) worsleyadam: of course not....when their organization is at stake of losing thousands of years of hard work, of course they wont give up
(14:41:13) Scott: you want to hold on to the info for now or transfer it to one of us to distribute?
(14:41:53) worsleyadam: I dont think it is safe. It is physical evidence. I will try to make back up copies to send you guys
(14:42:02) Scott: alright
(14:42:23) worsleyadam: the russian isnt important but the other stuff is
(14:42:46) Scott: i will get on it asap
(14:42:53) worsleyadam: thank you
(14:42:56) Scott: anything else?
(14:43:02) worsleyadam: hpw is cnn or cbs?
(14:43:09) Scott: cnn is good
(14:43:2Cool worsleyadam: and is that head of security finally fired or is he still working there?
(14:43:44) Scott: still here
(14:43:59) worsleyadam: damn so you are still being watched
(14:44:14) Scott: i'm in a different part of the building though
(14:44:21) Scott: directory isn't updated to show this
(14:44:26) Scott: so its a little more safe
(14:44:30) Scott: just not terribly so
(14:44:35) worsleyadam: but he is security. so i'm sure he knows where you are at all times
(14:44:52) Scott: not this place.
(14:45:01) Scott: not for what i'm working on
(14:45:06) worsleyadam: well....as long as you're safe
(14:45:15) Scott: there are no cameras in r&d or logs kept
(14:45:25) Scott: but if i go to grab something to eat ... yeah
(14:45:27) worsleyadam: good
(14:46:25) worsleyadam: thank you guys for getting me out of that place.
(14:46:37) Scott: we tried
(14:46:46) Scott: we may not be the best, but we try
(14:46:56) worsleyadam: you did an excellent job.
(14:47:15) worsleyadam: did you ever get that letter deciphered? the one i got miggyandme to deliver to your office?
(14:48:01) Scott: yeah
(14:48:06) Scott: i shared with everyone
(14:48:20) worsleyadam: good. so everyone understands part of the evidence i have?
(14:48:35) Scott: well, they should if they remember that far back
(14:48:56) worsleyadam: can you recap everything for them? and to help out those who are new?
(14:49:36) Scott: yeah, but i might not have everything up till tonight. some of it is in chat logs and irc because we didn't want it publicly viewable. i'll have to dig it up.
(14:49:47) worsleyadam: thank you
(14:50:32) Scott: everything else ok, relatively speaking?
(14:52:00) worsleyadam: well i'm still shaken up by finding all 7 of my team members dead in their room last night. and having to run once again for fear of my life. and having to put you in danger again by contacting you. so yea everything is peachy. georgia peachy
(14:52:27) worsleyadam: oh and by the way
(14:52:4Cool worsleyadam: those peanuts were the worst i had in my life....boiled peanuts
(14:52:53) Scott: hahaha
(14:53:02) Scott: i should have warned you
(14:53:10) Scott: its like peanut butter gone wrong
(14:53:13) worsleyadam: it tasted like if it was boiled in urine
(14:53:1Cool worsleyadam: you said they were good
(14:53:26) Scott: that's one of those things
(14:53:30) Scott: you can't tell people that
(14:53:35) Scott: they just have to try it
(14:53:42) Scott: as a welcome to georgia thing
(14:53:56) worsleyadam: it was nothing like peanutbutter. they were hard and tasted rancid
(14:54:01) Scott: oh
(14:54:02) Scott: hmm
(14:54:05) Scott: that's not right
(14:54:13) Scott: it should be hot and salty and soft
(14:54:22) Scott: its weird, but not that bad
(14:54:24) worsleyadam: really salty
(14:54:41) Scott: i mean, i wouldn't eat them regularly, but it shouldn't be rancid
(14:55:03) Scott: its more of a "what the hell" reaction
(14:55:10) Scott: "Why would you do this?!?"
(14:55:19) Scott: not "i think i'm gonna barf"
(14:55:24) worsleyadam: yes
(14:57:15) worsleyadam: i barfed a little
(14:57:21) Scott: wow
(14:57:26) Scott: they were doing it wrong
(14:57:2Cool Scott: sorry man
(14:57:47) Scott: its just supposed to be bizzare, not completely gross
(14:58:04) worsleyadam: Oh well....I can still taste it. And living out here in the military I ate some rancid stuff....but nothing like georgia's boiled peanuts
(14:59:43) Scott: well, next time we'll find you some pulled pork to make up for it
(15:00:21) worsleyadam: ...
(15:00:31) Scott: you don't like bbq?
(15:00:47) worsleyadam: i dont trust you in the culinary department anymore
(15:00:52) Scott: hahahahaha
(15:01:59) Scott: that's more funny than you know. usually people are begging me to cook for them.
(15:02:10) worsleyadam: Smile
(15:04:27) worsleyadam: what is you contact info in case i need to get a hold of you
(15:04:3Cool Scott: what method?
(15:04:45) Scott: txt, email, address?
(15:04:47) worsleyadam: as many as you can give me
(15:04:59) Scott: ok, cell and txt is xxx-xxx-xxxx
(15:05:12) Scott: email is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(15:05:37) Scott: until i know we're not being watched, i'll hold off on the address
(15:05:45) worsleyadam: ok
(15:05:49) Scott: i'm taking off in a week and i don't want anything sitting on the porch
(15:06:1Cool worsleyadam: if anything you can encode it for me....in my time in russia I learn a bit of code
(15:06:34) Scott: will do
(15:06:35) Scott: also
(15:06:56) Scott: remember last time we had a phrase and counter phrase to confirm it was you and not LL
(15:07:02) Scott: you want to set that again?
(15:07:20) worsleyadam: alright sounds good
(15:07:57) worsleyadam: what should it be?
(15:08:10) Scott: i'm just trying to think of something not obvious
(15:08:14) worsleyadam: ok
(15:09:14) Scott: hows this. you will always start with "merry christmas". what we will say to you is "happy birthday"
(15:09:40) Scott: and vice versa
(15:09:57) worsleyadam: how about first person says merry christmas and second says happy birthday?
(15:10:10) Scott: that works too
(15:11:29) Scott: then it is set
(15:11:32) Scott: merry christmas
(15:11:41) worsleyadam: happy birthday
(15:11:56) worsleyadam: any luck on that code?
(15:12:12) Scott: not yet. i have to finish something for work by 4
(15:12:19) Scott: trying to knock that out first
(15:12:25) Scott: lemme share with the others
(15:12:29) worsleyadam: ok ty
(15:12:31) Scott: perhaps they can get it while i work
(15:12:43) worsleyadam: good i dead
(15:12:4Cool worsleyadam: idea
(15:12:50) worsleyadam: *

looks like a vigenere with the key something with Amelia's flight. Anyone still have links to applets for that? I haven't done cryptography in a long time.

Maybe it's like notgordian said 1937 has something to do with it.

maybe it's the key to the code?

He mentioned a possibility of payphone calls... we'll see how that turns out.

Seems we can't get any farther without solving this puzzle/cipher - Adam says that it's pretty vital, he's been pestering me about it. Wink

I just got another message from Adam Worsley. I'm really bad with languages, and my computer may be making symbols up, but this is what he said:

Adam sent an IM to my phone last night at 2:45 am X(

I really haven't had time to work on the cipher I think we're supposed to decipher. I tried Earheart related keywords in Vigenere cipher, but didn't get anything. Anyone else had more time to work on it?

Also, remember the Merry Christmas - Happy Birthday thing.

Sorry that this took so long, but my computer exploded.

Got in contact, not a lot of new information.

He told me that in order to contact him I would have to solve this

I had a thought. In the supposed clue to decipher this message it says "the year we heard KHAQQ calling Itasca" Well that year would be 1937. I don't know how that would help, but there it is.
