Reckon Jain is correct that these msgs refer to the small "?real" on the pic yet further clueless.

EDIT: @Natas: Guess the scenario is to stop the virus infected virtual panda from Nuking the world yet also wonder if Johan is still tied to that tree in the Devil's Swamp? Coffee

 		I kinda skimmed through the wiki... Aside from the numerous puzzles, is there a story somewhere in here? I seem to have lost track.

Translated from base64: . someone might want to know.


Maybe Donovan will know and someone who's been in contact with him should pass along the info?

Great!

If that's CADIE's home, that would mean that's where the supercomputer that houses her is, which would probably have an access interface that I could use to get into her.

I'm going to try and sneak in there.

By the way, do you know anything of CADIE's plans?

I'll be checking my E-Mail via my cellphone as I go, and possibly go on Y!IM, so you can contact me if you need me, and vice-versa.

Okay, well, here I go!

Wish me luck

Okay, I'm in.

There's a giant supercomputer here, with a little monitor, mouse, and keyboard setup attached to the side.

Lucky for me, someone had logged into it already and forgotten to logout.

There's a countdown at the top of the screen that says 00:01:00:07 at the top, and the words "Nuclear Launch" flashing under it.

Uh-oh.

There are four files here, called "CAVE A", "CAVE B", "CAVE C", and "CAVE D".

The folder is named "CADIE", and there's a caption: "KILL ONE".

There's also some text scrolling across the bottom of the screen...

"TWO CONTAIN PRINCESSES. TWO HAVE DRAGONS. THE DRAGONS LIE. THE PRINCESSES TELL THE TRUTH."

...And each file has a description:

CAVE A: "CAVE B HAS A DRAGON."
CAVE B: "CAVE C DOES NOT HAVE A DRAGON."
CAVE C: "CAVE B OR CAVE D HAS A DRAGON."
CAVE D: "CAVE C HAS A DRAGON."

...Okay, please, help me: WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?

 		From Donovan:

Quote:
I'm in.

I sent a message to one of your team with details of something that was on the computer screen.

I can't get it again, because there were some footsteps and I had to duck into a closet.

There's some people in the room on the other side of the door.

I have to keep really quiet.

Oh, by the way, I found Johan - gagged, knocked out, tied up, and lying on the floor of the closet.

He'll be okay, though, once he comes to.

Now all I can do is wait - for the people to leave, and for what I need to do - and hope.

Wait!

There's something different scrolling across the screen now!

It says...

"WILL YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTION OF MICHAEL SCHULTZ?"

...Huh?!?

Oh man, the time's ticking down, the message changed, and I don't know which one to delete!

If I delete the wrong one, CADIE will know and probably lock me out! And then... *gulp*

Help!

 		I hope Donovan did the right thing (we told him to delete file D), as now the timer says 22 hours left for the launch...

 		With my comp crashing twice it was an exciting countdown although that Psycho-Panda appears to be down but not yet out

UPDATE

Scipio26 CHECK HOME.

....which directs to a msg in the source:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

...and this final page: http://argensoft.netau.net/the_last_message.php

Color me happy and a bit surprised!
