Possibly, what's the time over there now? I'm british so however many hours ahead and am too lazy to figure it out. Even so he could only have been online for a max of four minutes as I got back four minutes after the message was sent.

The address just came back on, will post log when its over.


It is 19:36EST

 		Only just noticed that you'd posted, didn't see page 3. Copying my edits to previous post into this one instead:

--------

--EDIT--

All right, I got something. This guy at the @yahoo.com address claims he isn't Tyler Greek but some guy named Jacob King. Some kind of tech guy working under the command of Greek (among others), he was in the process of trying to decode some information on a TR Corp computer, that otherwise only contained some artwork.
After a bit of pursuading, I managed to get the info & the artwork emailed to me - there was a text file, and an image.

The text file contains the number string "045063060045063061" repeated a hell of a lot of times over, so I won't quote the whole thing here. Razz
The image was some strange kinda logo which I'll upload in a minute. I can also upload the text file someplace for anyone who wants it.

Here's the full transcript of the conversation:
Quote:
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
sorry lost service there for a moment--who is this?
DLT says:
Someone who got this address off Twitter. Would you be Tyler Greek?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
No, my names Jacob. Tyler is one of my commanders.
DLT says:
Oh, I see
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
I probably shouldn't be talking to you... i shouldn't even be on this computer.
DLT says:
Who are you? Some people have had conversations with Tyler Greek about a war, do you know about that?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
yeah i know about it, who doesn't?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
My name is Jacob King.
DLT says:
And you're under the command of Tyler Greek, did you say?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
yeah
DLT says:
Isn't he supposed to be heading out at 6:50 today? Are you going with him?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
No, i was told to stay back and decode something information.
DLT says:
Can I ask what information?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
You can ask. better question would be will I tell.
DLT says:
Fair enough. What about TR Corp then, do you know anything about that?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
Once again--who doesn't? are you slow or something dude? I mean i know its only been three months and all.
DLT says:
I'm british, not american, so I'm not aware of everything. I know Tyler said he thinks this thing is global, but I atleast havent heard anything over here
DLT says:
Perhaps you can fill me in?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
all you need to know is people are dying over here... and if your country ISN'T under attack then why the hell haven't you sent units to help us out over here?
DLT says:
Couldn't tell you, its not like I'm in charge of the british army or something. But if we're not yet under attack, it'd sure as hell help to know what we're dealing with before we are. So what do you know?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
I know alot, your gonna have to narrow it down for me
DLT says:
Right, well lets start with the superhumans, then. What exactly are these ..people, capable of?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
Pyrokentics for one.
DLT says:
So fire starters, what else?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
cryokinetic everything with a Kinetic at the end, and teleporting.
DLT says:
I see. So I heard these powers, whatever you call them, have been given via injection? Tyler Greek said TR Corp were responsible for that -- who are they?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
they made the injections
DLT says:
But why? Are they some kind of drug company, how would they go about creating something like that without the government finding out?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
They were conscripted by the government to make them--but they got a bit too powerhungry
DLT says:
So it was a government project, that went wrong? Are TR Corp "leading" these superhumans, or did they just break free and start reaking havoc?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
yah pretty much... They're leading them
DLT says:
All right, that's atleast cleared things up somewhat
DLT says:
Greek said something about a couple of cities being taken out? Is that true? What cities?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
Yeah, we know Boston and New York for sure, not 100% about everywhere else
DLT says:
Jesus
DLT says:
So, you must be some kinda tech guy if you're decoding information, huh?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
yeah, i guess you could say that.
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
but this information is weird--the computer we're using is an old TR one--its pretty much wipped except for a couple of pictures
DLT says:
What are the pictures?
DLT says:
And whats wierd about the information?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
The pictures are just art... and the information is scrambled.
DLT says:
Maybe you could use some help decoding it?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
I think that would breach protocol
DLT says:
Maybe it would, but then didn't you say you're not supposed to be talking to me, or even on that computer? You dont sound like you always follow the rules to me
DLT says:
You still here?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
yah one sec
DLT says:
Sure
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
check your email
DLT says:
Will do
DLT says:
All right, got it
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
ok
DLT says:
See what you mean about wierd
DLT says:
Got anywhere at all with decoding?
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
i just started... so no...
DLT says:
all right, I'll see if I can figure anything, and get back to you if I do
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
okay--i better get off now...
loacandloadSPLATyahoo.com says:
bye
DLT says:
Sure, bye


This is getting interesting!

--EDIT 2--

All right, here's the image I was sent:


Email was blank other than the attachment. Interestingly, it does give the name as "Tyler Gre", though.

There, that's it. Any clues on decoding it?

 		Nah, image was just attached to the email, so no source code to look at. I'm curious as to what it may mean though, the layout is very odd.

 		Shocked

Oooooohhhh...thanks for posting that. I live in a tweet-free zone Laughing

And if you could find more info and post it, that would totally rock! I, for one, could make the drive down (I'm 30 min in the other direction).
