Nice work guys! I'm not too "ophay"(sp?) with overlaying so I'll leave that in someone elses capable hands.

But I let Bobby know I had some 'trusted friends' working on getting support for the Son of Qadhos people and this picture situation.

And yes Tex I'm keeping my head down lol Wink

Btw Makyla it could probably be helpful if you could still maybe post a brief translation of what your French email said?

Ok, until someone who knows what they are doing with their overlay, screens, multiply i.e basic image manipulation does it properly you'll have to make do with my feeble effort.

Most of the text is legible and it seems pretty obvious as to what we are supposed to be doing, right now though I'm off to bed.

Not before leaving with a wave @ the veterans of BTYC, Leyton, Zephonith and Tex. I wonder if we will see the return of some of the others.

And a hello and welcome to everyone else.

Nice work Nighthawk, my attempts lost all of the text and did a nice montage of the three background scenes.. Smile

Had a quick rummage around and think I may have solves for Oct 31, March 1, and April 1 (really?! April 1st? Rolling Eyes Smile ), and a stab at the June 7, but will have more time tonight to check things over and will post then...

The pictures on the facebook, the first one being CofC picture puzzle piece, then a picture of Baphomet, a very intriguing human alphabet by Amman Jost, and the last I haven't been able to nail, but appears to be some kind of Christogram incorporating the symbols for the elements (from top, clockwise), air, water, earth and fire, with spirit sitting in the middle - a nudge to the same symbols on the 'Incantation' and the login on the barbizongroup site I would guess...

The 'missions' seem to have two parts to them, one suggests the answer to the missing words, the other part ties into the elemental symbol, I'm thinking what they had to collect from each site.


mission Sept 8 2005;

"Leave Thailand. Head north. Store 10 gigajoule from a methane explosion"


EDIT

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Anzhero-Sudzhensk link


this is the fire element. North of Thailand is quite a large area, and there are many mining accidents as a result from methane explosions in Russia (being north of Thailand), but none that I could tie into the letter clues on the Incantation. Also a NASA document posted on Sept 8 2005 relating to methane gyrations, but I think it's unrelatedlink here anyhoo...

/EDIT


mission Oct 31 2006;

"Deep in the earth of this capital reside the ancient tombs of the hidden unbeliever. You know what to do."


I believe this is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Kurgan-Tyube link
and is the earth element.


mission june 7 2007;

"Travel to the human capital of the invisible spirit and place the Aristotelian artifact of atomic number 8."


EDIT

pure speculation for this but I thought of still thinking, but based on the pentagram idea (see end of post)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Karma, or Kabul. I have nothing to tie these in other than first thoughts Kyoto or Korea (or somewhere near/in that area)


/EDIT

and is the air element (atomic element 8 being oxygen).


mission march 1 2008;

"Stole sample 02-124-1 from Dr. Matthias Zopperitsch and extract solid molecule of dangerous Dihydrogen monoxide."


I think this is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Taksimo link
and is the water element (you do know what dihydrogen monoxide is? Wink )


mission april 1 2009;

"Investigate Pab Borngern allegation, it will lead you to a spirit grave near Makham Subdistrict. There your journey will end."


This led me to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Mae Klong River link
and is the spirit element (although no symbol on the Incantation)


I think I've made some big leaps on some of these, so I'm still double checking all of them. The final mission brings us back to Thailand (as the first tells us to leave Thailand), so I'm speculating that these 5 points may plot out a pentagram as that on Baphomet forehead, pure speculation at this point though. I'll follow this thought later...

EDITS

Later, map link

Much later, these locations allow access to the Barbizongroup site, ensure to include the word 'River' on the last one, hyphens and in the correct order. Seems they have updated their case list!

Haha, Leyton it's official and in black and white they're coming for you!

Awesome work Tex, now do we track down the potential victims or try to intercept the materials they are gathering.

Given that Bobby has been feeding us the info and the original coded msg, I dropped him an email after writing all that up last night, his reply


Quote:
Bonjour Tex!

Your answer, in such a short delay, was beyond my greatest hope! There is still time to intercept the ritual that will take place in 15 days. I may not be a specialist in occult but since I follow the Barbizon Group, I was force to learn a lot on the topic.

And incantation process of that magnitude, according to your map and the timeline, is beyond any undertaking I saw from the Barbizon group since I study them. If they achieve such an exploit, I truly fear many lives will be in danger.

From my early work, I always considered The Barbizon Group to be limited local cult (Montreal – Toronto) with a handful of worshipper. How they can pull that off?

Something is not right here, please be very careful…

The last mission involved a quite sinister place, I have the feeling there is not that many people in the world capable of completing such a ritual. If we could have this scanner thing helping us tracking the web for any hint on those topics, we may be able to interrupt this process.

We need to report your finding to the Son of Qadhos, but I have no way of contacting them. Last time it's one of their agents who anonymously sent me information. You need to find a way to reach them at all cost.

For Destiny, I know there are afraid not enough nodes will be available to power the system. I hope someone will find a way. I started to contact some of the potential node listed in the system to see if they want to help us. But at that stage, we either need a miracle or someone extremely resourceful to pull that off.


I mentioned that we seem to have a new deadline, 1st April, when it appears they will collect the last 'ingredient' to their incantation, hence his mentioning of the 15days.

He had the words in bold on his email, that's not my emphasis btw. I think there are a couple of interesting comments about Destiny in his mail also, I hinted at whether he thought Barbizon were aware of Destiny yet.

As for the names on the Barbizon 'hit list' I've come up blank after a quick search about, but I added the 'summoning' location to the map pentagram from my previous post. I'm thinking the yellowing of the details are prolly key, as EP case number was yellowed in the last chapter for entry to the final stage. As to contacting SoQ guys Dunno

I'm totally loaded for next 3-4 days, so just covering emails and stuff.


Tex...

Awesome work guys; other ARGs are moving up so fast I forget to check here b/c I assume nothing new has been posted, my bad!

But okay so... I've been on their list since they killed Eleanora... But it looks like they're still active. Guessing I might be a sacraficial lamb on April Fools day... Hah we'll see who the fools are!

Found a Camille Boivin but not Camilla, on FB in Ontario... Emailed and asked if she'd ever heard of Barbizan or SoQ; but I'm guessing she's OOG.

No John Mitchel Black on FB though...

And no specific way of contacting SoQ although Bobby's 'hint' might lead to something.

Also anyone noticed the audiofile on www.YCE3.com is morse code?

Anyone want to try deciphering it, or has it been done and I've completely missed it?

YCE3 morse code I took to be the same message as Bobby sent, as per Zeph's post earlier...

Done a bit more searching and came up with nothing re the other names on the list, although Camilla does seem to be wearing a russian army winter style hat..? which would put her in the correct type of geography for the northern most parts of the map I guess - although she may just be a fashion victim Dunno

I've noticed that the 25.615 number popping up everytime I load the SoQ page - although I am on my laptop and different browser atm, so may be showing up differently - but thought it may be a contact posibility, although not sure atm how, if at all; I more or less discounted it after the initial page solve...

I dropped a post on the yellowcurtain.com blog where one of the picture clues was dropped to see if the anonymous person who posted it may feel inclined to get in touch, I tried to be subtle...


Tex..

[PS] although Bobby does hint in his email that there may be a way to over-ride the need for the number of sites needed to get the DSG fully online to activate Destiny, it's sad that there's prolly only 18 active nodes (according to the Noiz site), with 10 of them appearing to be re-directs from Google.. Crying or Very sad . Bobby does appear to be doing the rounds though, bless him, posting comments on blogs/forums, like Snorkles site... I may gatecrash some chat channels while I'm away from home to see if I can rustle up some more Resistance Fighters.. Smile [/PS]

BTYC
Blog comment

Hi all, I received a comment on my blog, if you can call it that, earlier today after I commented and posted a BTYC Button. Seems I upset some folks.

http://anniepringle.blogspot.com/
and specifically
http://anniepringle.blogspot.com/search/label/BTYC3

it's pretty much somewhere to drop bits and pieces in between other gaming I do, but found unfiction after I got interested in the Blindness movie tie-in last year, and pass-by here now and then and post a few things on my blog that interest me when I remember where I left it

Hope it's useful
Ane

You should send an e-mail to Camilla or John advising the same. Nothing can be done now to stop us.


If these guys are so 'unstoppable' why did they feel the need to make a post on your blog anonymously is what I'd like to know?

I'm wondering if this really IS a member of the Barbizan group or someone 'playing along' so to speak...

It also doesn't bring us any closer to finding a contact for either the SoQ or Camille/John although they 'advise' us to send them an email 0_o

Whilst at first glance I'd kind of agree, I noticed that her site has gone orange (clue detected) at Noiz Analytics

Also it was quite funny getting a voice mail from Annie earlier saying that she had been threatened on her blog. So I told her to post here. We met during PerplexCity days - she plays far too many MMOGs for my liking Razz

The post maybe because they are scared that we MAY stop them and therefore not giving away any more information than they need to - but then giving the 'advice' is kind of screwy since we know they are capable of knocking off those who stand in their way, so why warn them, unless of course it's an attempt to entrap us a la Beatrix Grey from Ep2 <shudders> - But because of the push, I've sent an email to camillaDOTboivinSPLATgmail just for the hell of it...

EDITand because the mention of Beatrix has got me all paranoid, I just noticed that the points on the map could also correspond to the pentagon shape on the SoQ site Confused
