So. did we confirm this is for a computer game? i love all the soviet stuff. reminds me of a recent soviet related ARG.


It's definitly related to Activision Publishing.
Look at the link 'Terms of Use' at the very bottom of the mir-12.com page.

As you can see, it seems that the soviets found some sort of element in the island. I am guessing something like super uranium or something like that.

Or the reference to E99 earlier? Though I don't see how that would be something super, unless they found an interesting way to use it.

Here are some things I pulled from the video so if nothing else, at least if someone searches for info from the video they'll find our pages.

Island: 56°15'N 168°20'E (56.25, 168.33)

Well, Katorga 12 is off the coast of Kamchatka, so I guess her realtives might have been imprisoned there?

Nope. The Tsarist and later the Soviet prison system meant transferring people from russia far away into siberia. Therefore it is much more likely that relatives from moscow or volgograd were sent there than people living nearby.

Oh that's interesting! I never thought of that one. Maybe Vladimir Norvikov is a predecessor of Natasha's instead, has something to do with the project. Natasha did seem to personally know the guy she was trying to shoot.

 		Another person, Alyona Yasnogorodsky seems to be IG.
She wrote to Natashas wall:

Quote:
Наташа, привет! Классно вчера оторвались! Не теряйся, чмок!

i.e.

Quote:
Hi Natasha! We have yesterday cool time together. Don't get loose, I kiss you.


I hope, she is IG. Otherwise I'm scared.

Well, this Russian is really normal. I mean, correct speach Russian, which is used by young people nowadays.

But since she say, she had good time together with Natasha...

if you look at her friends list, she has friends from random locations, like they were added randomly to have the effect that it is a legitimate account from the number of friends. i added her as well and ill see if she responds.

 		Perhaps player just haven't found her. And yes, she added me, I'm Vlad Wink

Btw, another person could also be IG: Rebecca Nolte

Look her conversation with Emily:

Quote:
Emily is headed home (finally!) to feed kitty.
Rebecca Nolte at 3:57am January 15
Hey, when did you get a cat? Or is that a euphemism for something? Is that what you Yale girls are calling it these days?
Emily Dawson at 6:26pm January 15
Haha. No, I'm watching Belka for Natasha. When are you going to come visit again??
Rebecca Nolte at 9:00pm January 17
I don't know. I've been working a lot lately. Plus, I saw those pics of Belka on Natasha's page and that cat freaks me out. No way I'm coming to visit while she's around!
Emily Dawson at 9:31pm January 17
Aww, she's actually a sweet cat. And it's just until Natasha gets back from Russia. How's work going?


Emily asks her: When are you going to come visit again??

Not really sure, but...

Emily seems to keep and feed Natashas cat, Belka.

 		Keep the name of the cat in mind. People do often use the name of their pet as a password...
