That's what I've been thinking as well, I've got like 8 notepad's open right now working out possibilities. Should have some results up soon.

 		I'll take 'anomalies', thanks. There must be typos in the source material. The missing capital letter for one of the sentences should be I (for "If") but instead ended up looking like lowercase "lo" as posted. The template is also off, if "time and space" is correct. This is my solution:
Quote:
The man in the robe is just like you Jack. You are both anomalies of time and space. He however, has more experience. If you want to surpass him you must pass this universe to the next.

I've attached a text file with the letters lined up, but it was too wide to post directly. View it in Notepad with a monospaced font (like Courier)

Brilliant, catherwood. Absolutely brilliant. I'm gonna forward to Scott and see what happens. I mentioned the errors in code between us and him, and inquired as to what this means about our "friend" Jack.

 		So, is this are decoded clue?
"The man in the robe is just like you Jack. You are both anomalies of time and space. He however, has more experience. If you want to surpass him you must pass this universe to the next."


Sounds pretty good and is probably the only grammatically correct possibility. The question is, how do we find out if this is the clue or not? Hopefully we'll find out soon, this is geting exciting. Also, as a side note, Jack is supposedly in another universe or at least space time right now, correct? Does that mean that Jack has already done this? AND who told this to Jack if anyone? sounds like this clue was meant for Jack, huh? odd, we'll find out soon hopefully.

 		LOL sorry punchline
I just sent this message to Not Jack

I think this may be the whole note, a bunch of us got together and figured it out. How is it significant???

 		That's the curious thing. To the best of my knowledge, these are notes between Scott and Jack. Which would mean that Scott wrote this note TO Jack. And he mentioned previously that Jack would be back to kill him on December 1st, meaning we've got a big day coming up as far as story events go.

I'm hoping to hear back from Scott tonight, as well as start tearing up John's FIRSTCONTACT audiolog in Audacity.

Well, if you find out that it is morse code, I'd be glad to translate it if you type it out and post it, you know LONG= _ Short= . I know morse code as good as I do english sumtimes lol. Anyway, i'm going to listen to the audio and see if I can't geet anything out of it too. Good Luck!

 		Sorry for mad-posting
But I noticed something inteesting about the wording of the clue...

The man in the robe is just like you Jack...

Could be nothing, but implies that maybe Jack is either A)different somehow, or B) actually the first, even though it says later the man in the robe has more experience. I'mma be online ALL DAY on Dec. 1st BTW.
LOL and it's a little late, but GOBBLE GOBBLE happy turkey day hoped you all gained another pant size during dinner

 		Alright, mail back from Scott and Jack both.

We'll start with Jack.

Punchline: Alright, we cracked the code on that note, John. It looks like it says: "The man in the robe is just like you Jack. You are both anomalies of time and space. He however, has more experience. If you want to surpass him you must pass this universe to the next." I have no idea what this means yet. But I'm gonna start ripping that audio apart as well.

Jack: Okay. I think I have a theory as to where Jack is. "Eden" may be referring to something other than a place.


I've responded to him with the following:

"What else could "Eden" be? Could it be a time? Or another universe? Or could it just be the point where this all began?"


As for Scott?

Quote:
I've been losing sleep. I see it has affected my activities. Jack and the man are both human, but they have gone beyond the limits of time and space.


I've responded with the following:

"How exactly does a man go about doing that? And what can we do about it? Is there anything that can be done to prevent Jack from coming back for you?"

On another note, I've been playing with the audio and haven't found anything yet. The morse code bit starts at about 1:05 but I'm ghastly with that sort of thing.

 		First, got an email
Jack [*******] to me
show details 8:50 PM (3 minutes ago)


I think we know where Jack is


Second, i listened to First Contact, sounds alot like reversed speach whwenever it's talkin, first voice sounds human, MAYBE morse code before demon voice transition then still i think distorted but reversed, considering the clipping sounds. Punchline, hope you have some luck tearing it apart. ALSO those unidentifiable noises are creepy....
ALSO someone ninja posted me lol

I did try inverting the audio, but it still sounds inverted to me even after switching it around.

As for Scott's e-mail, I thought it had already been posted. My bad on that.

 		Thanks
Maybe it revert word for word, instead of whole sentences, or maybe it just wierd LOL MAYBE it's some speaking in the txt we've been getting our clues in, or putting it through a Voice Reader. I'mma try and decode the morse code later if you can't translate it out. Thanks for the email BTW

ALSO I'm sending this to scott

Quote:
You don't know me and I don't know you, but me, along with another man you've been contacting and a small group of others ae trying to help figure this all out. We've decoded the last clue obviuosly, and are working on the audio file you shared with us (Thanks). If you know anything else about that audio file, or any other information you can share that would be fantastic. Also, if you ever need any help or anything, I'm around.
