just had a short chat with Gali,

Quote:

Gali - I sense that Remo is in trouble...
12:59pm

Leana - ah Remo?
1:01pm

Gali - my agent in Ajembukan, i'll send you his real identity via encrypted file...
1:02pm

Leana - ah yes, an associate of mine found a message warning he was in danger.
is there any way to contact him in Ajembukan?
1:05pm

Gali - you could try to warn him via im, agentremo.
gotta go! police coming!
1:06pm

Leana - ok, thanks for the info


Haven't gotten any file yet, but got a contact at least.

UPDATE: agentremo isnt an AIM account, its gmail. agentremoSPLATgmailDOTcom

I sent a message warning him to get out of Ajembukan, no word back yet.

cool, welcome to the team officer church Very Happy

Another convo with Remo:
Quote:
(6:17:35 PM) agentremo: I need to thank you in person, perhaps when you get here you can take a tour of Ajembukan!?
(6:20:01 PM) peacemakeroni: I am just glad to have messaged you in time, though a tour would be most helpful, thank you. Perhaps I shall see you thursday then, sometime after I arrive?
(6:20:56 PM) agentremo: alas, i cannot travel to Kandur! My face is known there, it would be too dangerous...
(6:21:40 PM) peacemakeroni: ah well that would be a problem. I will definitely let you know if I am in the Ajembukan area though.
(6:22:16 PM) agentremo: i try to be of use to gali here, and i think i am...
(6:23:20 PM) peacemakeroni: may i ask what your job is exactly? I didn't hear much about you, it was more important to get to you before they did
(6:25:57 PM) agentremo: what do i do as a profession, or how do i make myself useful to gali?
(6:26:27 PM) peacemakeroni: well both I guess, though I more meant what you do for Gali
(6:28:48 PM) agentremo: i do little odd jobs for him, like printing leaflets for the cause, stuff like that. not very glamorous!
(6:31:17 PM) agentremo: i always look out for opportunities to gum up the works for the government...
(6:32:12 PM) peacemakeroni: ah ok, well even those little jobs are quite helpful
(6:33:58 PM) agentremo: I'm posting a note on the wiki (same encryption) that was handed me earlier today. i must be dumb, i don't have a clue what its about!
(6:34:51 PM) peacemakeroni: well ill have a look at it, I will let my associates know as well, they are good at figuring this kind of stuff out Very Happy
(6:49:57 PM) agentremo: i've uploaded the note posted it on the links page of the wiki
(7:03:03 PM) peacemakeroni: got it, thanks I will see what I can come up with


Checked out the note - there is a barcode...and we find out Remo's identity.

Coffee Exciting stuff and Congrats all around. Re the barcode: have run in thru http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx using various formats getting various "it did not contain a barcode, or did not contain one in a supported format" messages. Sorry

And the UN may be sending in a peacekeeping force to intervene in West Djahar. LINK

just had a chat with Galli, edited to the important part..

gpodgurney: speaking of helping, do you have any clues about the poem on the wiki home page?

scotgaz: i've not long sat down at comp, I can go have a look just now

scotgaz: when we last spoke you mentioned WMDs, i assumed you were joking, but that sounds like a biological bomb,

gpodgurney: i was joking! little did i know there would be cause for concern!
so you're sure of this interpretation?

scotgaz: well i cant be positive of course, but it hints that if something is released it will lay all to rest, another way of saying die, but i will run this past the others and see what they think

gpodgurney: ok. thanks!

scotgaz: no problem, talk to you later, stay safe Smile

So what do you guys think, could there be a nuclear/biological bomb on the island, if there is how does it impact on those still there and those of you going???

On a side note, I recieved the brochure in the post today, and as im over in Scotland I thought this was pretty cool of the PM to send it, nice one mate Cool

amandel - huh weird, I tried decoding it as well, nothing. I'm at a loss on it at the moment...unless there is just something in the image?

scot- not sure...could be some kind of weapon which could cause mass destruction. could also be something peaceful or natural though...

in the heart and the jungles...not civilization
a genie in a jar...something that comes out, erupts
lay all to rest...all means all, including the governments before and after the coup, and the people of west djahar (could include the world, but this poem seems to emphasize west djahar itself)

actually makes me think of a natural disaster - a volcano or earthquake.

Or heart of west djahar = government
jungles = something they hid there
aka weapon of some kind which could destroy all of west djahar...

Am a hawk literally in flight transit atm. Smile The new site is Foreign Ministry of West Djahar. Since you guys could have fun finding the link to the hidden msg I've spoilered it. Hidden Msg reads:
Quote:
'Help! My name is Munda Haroon and I am being forced to do these web pages!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Scroll to the very page bottom. The "b" in Lab is the hyperlink to the hidden message


There's alot of menacingly interesting info for those in-country as well as the MOFA's latin motto meaning From words to blows. Sent Gali an email saying we had spotted a "robin"(ally) in Munda Haroon who left the last two web msgs.
