It's quit possible that the comments were simply added for purposes of giving us some more information to play upon, but it could also be a coincidence since Hadron Blurb seems to be a well known anagram for L. Ron Hubbard.

Now that we have a Twitter for him, I'm clearing that part up for good. I posed a question to him via his Twitter about working for AWE at Burghfield

EDIT: Got a response from our friend "Not Jack".

Quote:
I'm not Jack and I don't want to say my name. You can call me friend. You can call me ... John. This is not my real name, but the name you should call me.
seems like he's playing along. and john travolta was another word jumble in blurbs...blurb on that site

 		Well, the guy on those forums is OOG. Got a tweet back from Hadron.

Quote:
@MPlow I don't work anywhere at the moment. Who is corresponding with you? How did you find me?


I responded explaining why I asked about the job, and telling him I was an old friend of Jack's.

In the meantime, got an e-mail back from John.

Quote:
Jack was into caligraphy. He took theology as an elective. He has memory issues. He was seeing some therapist. Guy told him some repression stuff. Jack had some condition where he had memories that weren't real. I found another Hadron note. Before I give it to you I need to know you listened to my audio log.


I haven't received an audio log, and I know the ones we got before didn't work, so I'm gonna let him know he needs to send it.

@MPlow Jack is gone. He knows too much for a mortal man. There's a good reason for that. Have you ever wondered about time?


Those codes he posted have me baffled, honestly. I don't know enough about code.

 		Update from John.

Quote:
Here are the audio logs. I know the files are big and they're m4as but audacity ruined the audio last time I tried apparently. These files work in iTunes. The weird thing is I don't remeber recording the second one, but that is definitely my voice. Also, I noticed Scott's twitter updates. Is it just me being a math nerd or are they numbers in base 13?


I attached the audio. I'm off to karaoke for the night here in about an hour but I'm gonna try and power through it when I get home, it's a lot of dialogue to listen through.

 		Those codes make my head spin. The first one is exactly 26 characters long, and I thought I was onto something until I realized all the numbers repeat themselves. I'll keep looking and see if I can come up with something.

A quick note, two different audio files are contained in that zip file, not just one. And both work.

My guess is that we need to translate them into decimal and then into ASCII, but I don't know enough about base13 to know where to put the spaces between numbers to run it myself (I am pretty sure the purplehell base shifter reads them as one big number not as many smaller numbers, which means we'll have to figure some of the b13 to decimal by hand).

 		Okay, I found digitconvert.com, which seems to be able to convert it into decimal, though it doesn't make much sense, because in base 13, the letter D isn't used, so the translator filters out all the D's while leaving the A's in..

Hexadecimal aka Base 16, does however, use both D's and A's. Once again, I'm going to keep playing with this until I can get something.

::EDIT::

Okay, been going at this for awhile now, and nothing sensible has come up. I'll give you guys what I found, though I'm not 100% on the translations. Maybe you can get somewhere with it.

What do you know?
So I've figured out Scott knows something. I think he has a gmail account. I forgot his last name though. If I find any clues to that I'll tell you guys.

In return I need to know, did you listen.
The man in the robe told me something.
"I see you"
Then I woke up.

I know he's real. I know Scott know about him.
Some things you can't believe until you've seen them, like him. (in black text)


And in the source:

So "Scott" is Hadron Blub? When did I miss this?

 		I'm working on transcribing the audio, I've finished maninrobe.m4a, I'll work on the second one now.

maninrobe.m4a
Code:
Alright, some of the notes have started disappearing. From now on, any interesting notes I'll take log of through audio. This one's interesting because of a recent experince I had, and I think I'm more involved in this than I, than, that I thought I was involved from...From the beginning really, that I was going to get involved in it.(page turning) So, oh wait oh. By the way, this is dated about a month ago, and this is one of the notes I found. I found this one, it was in blue ink, unlike the majority of the others, which are charcoal or pencil. Not many of them are in ink. This one's in blue ink and yeah, dated from about a month ago. It's actually, oct 19th is the date of this, and um, here I'm going to read it to you:
"The man in the robe keeps telling me these words that I'm noticing have more meaning than than what I think. He says that I have lived through more than I thought I have, and experienced more than most men. He says this is my 7th life. There's been a pattern, and I mustrecognize that pattern, and help myself and others. Now, this robed man only appears to me at times when I am, when I am tired,specifically during my times in which I am studying the bible for my theology classes." And this is, and then the rest of it just kind of goes on about his life and stuff, but he he mentions a man in the robe, which is quite disturbing to me. Now, I'm sending this to all of you because I'm hoping that you have gotten my last hint, and people are watching me very carefully and, but, well, specifically it's the man in the robe. I thought it was a hallucination last night, until I read this note this morning. When I was asleep, there was this man who opened my door and stood by it, and said "You have to find them, I'll help you. You have to find them. I couldn't really see any features because he was in the dark. He was taller than 6ft, and he was definitely wearing some type of robe or gown. I'm going to have to stop recording now, because I'm afraid if I go on too long with this they might, he might.. I don't even know if hes good or evil, and I dont want to piss him off right now. Listen, you guys seem to be smart because you're picking up my clues. I haven't really been cryptic as of late, but I think I'm going to have to be from now on, because im being noticed. This man in the robe is real, I dunno who he is. I think he might be the one who's taken Jack to Eden. I mean, if he's able to get into my house without setting off my alarm system, and stand by my bed at night, there's something going on. I'm truly, truly afraid. I'm going to be keeping various audio logs, like i mentioned at the beginning of this recording from now on. Please just check your inboxes daily, because these may be the last things you hear of me. If these men, because I do believe there's a group of them, are as dangerous as I belive they are... In fact, no, I know there's a group of them. Why else would he say 'they' have taken me? Anyways, like I said, I gotta stop recording now.


::EDIT::

maninrobe2.m4a
Code:
Okay...Jesus hold on... Crap. Okay it's not. Now, I was getting ready to send the last audio file out to some emails of people that I know will help me, and I saw the man in the robe again. this time he handed me a paper, it had the same poem that Jack wrote. My first post on the blogspot, except it was written in blood. Fresh, wet blood. I am really creeped out now. He handed it to me, he left. He didn't say a word to me. I'vve been watching, and I noticed there's a small group of you helping me out, and I'm really thankful for that. If you guys, if you guys need any more information from me, just email me, I'll give you what I can. I don't know all of your emails, if you could please email me if,  if you, if you want to receive further email with any audio files like this or anything, please do so. And please, please, I hope you got the Genesis picture clue because I think, no, I know that this man is related to the information you will receive if you get that clue. As for the Geneiss clue I've seen, I've seen talk of steganography. I don't, I'm, I'm not that technologically advanced. There's, I've added text to the blogspot, to the blogspot post, just to help you guys out. I can't outright say this info, because of this man in the robe, and I think I'm going to have to, I think I'm going to have to be more cryptic. Like I said before. He's here again. (Noise, maybe a sharp breath, maybe something else.) He's just staring at me. He, I think he wants me to talk to him. I'm going to stop recording now. I'll, I'll email you guys, if I'm not dead after I've talked to him. Please, help me out.


ETA: I don't know of a stegging/destegging tool that will work with Vista. If anyone knows of one, please share the wealth!

I looked at the code and it isn't base 13 or base 14. I think Scott isn't good at math.
