Finally got the other notepad thing, I'm guessing the black dot part is when you have the whole screen of random letters and numbers and there is a black spot going around it. How do you beat that part, or am I on something new?

Yup, that's what we've talked about before--to beat it, you have to keep the black dot inside the larger square that you move around....it can be rather difficult...I think I'll be posting some news, as my desktop, which has previously had NOTHING on it, just got googly eyes AND a smaller, new icon underneath it.

Edit: Yup, I've got SR_05. Will be uploading shortly.

Buncha new audio files to decode, plus a gif in zip 21 that needs to be translated. Aside from that, in zip 20, Henry thinks he's found us (thanks to Vidal) and is offering to "come out and play"?

Hidden text from guardian children at ipaddresser (anything in parenthesis is me)

222.255.255.97---(Found in file 20, Henry offering to meet us?)

(From Guardian Children)

Henry has found a way in

Translation

Death of a woman in another accident caused by a VMA

The night before returning home from the temple, a woman died in a collision with a van driving automatically. Valletta Sarah died instantly when a VMA ran a red light at 100 km / hr and crashed into the back of her vehicle.

The claim that the senorita autoridade Valetta was a passenger in his own vehicle and the driver is an employee of Industries Worldview, Kevin Chard, who was recently discharged from the hospital with minor injuries. Mr Chard was a close friend of Miss Valetta.

This is just an accident in a long list of accidents involving VMA and CMA, which gradually are becoming more common in America for real(?) transportation. The authorities of this technology continue to make sure that these accidents are not common and can not be compared to accidents caused by drunk driving or reckless people. They also claim that this technology is relatively new, and therefore there are still some details to refine. They claim that in some years there will be no more accidents.

In my opinion I think the VMA and the CMA should never be approved if there are still details to refine. After all are playing with human lives, not only with numbers belonging to a statistic.--End of Article


The responses:
Juanca:
My cousin was killed by a VMA in the same way. I agree with you Elisa (The author), those vehicles ought to be removed from the roads until they are 100% safe!

Gabriel:
I agree with the government in this case...The number of deaths that these things cause are much less than the deaths caused by the typical drunk driver. and lets not forget that for every accident where a VMA or CMA is involved .... only one side gets hurt.

Nacho:
You comment makes it easy. What would you do if your son, your wife, your mother or father were killed by one of these vehicles? Would you have the same opinion? Better shut up!

(NOTE: These translations are not word for word. When I think my translation is better than google's, I have replaced it with my own.)



Below the Global NewsWire logo, it says "aattcks anagist me."--->attacks against me.
Also, the logo on the middle ad is the same as the logo that forms over the earth during the "event".

I can't find any other buried text.


Okay, so now I'm confused. Two dead Sarah Valettas?

Edit: The latest file can be found at http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sarah, password "christmas"

A somewhat random guess as to what's going on with Sarah:

Perhaps someone or some people is/are altering time. In one timeline, Sarah died in her apartment and in a different circumstance in another. I also remember in some previous post that someone told us(?) in a message to not let that happen, so perhaps another agent of sorts is trying to prevent her death while another one is trying to ensure it happens.

ugh, I REALLY hope not...time paradoxes are complex enough when you're not potentially involved in them....

uhhh

Uhhhhhhh... wow okay I'm freaked.

But I have a notepad yay! And I was able to use my password to get to the little chase the black dot game...

And I have a video! called "SelfComatose" It's freeeeeakkky.

accompanied by this text file:
Quote:
I thought you might find this video interesting.

It appeared within an area of my brain that has never been used before and is unrelated to you Seekers or anything physical within my world.
I have subtitled the most important area of the video so that you will more easily understand.

A "comatose state" is something Kevin refers to as my ability to shutdown the cerebral side of myself...
leaving only the hardware still functioning in a very basic manner.

What I am unable to tell you is the exact date and time that is encoded deep within the video itself.
This is something nobody else will ever know.


Did I mention that the video is freaky? I don't know how to upload it though. It came out of sr_02 with my password 'chard' but I think this is the directory: http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/self/

That is a wee bit disturbing. Went through it a couple of times, nothing popped up in terms of hidden dates (there is some binary though, but I don't have time to translate right now).

Also, my VLC player thinks it's 35 seconds long, not 30; not sure if that's significant at all.

One of the images is from the sr_05 file i unlocked, at the interactive museum of Xalapa (bottom right ad). I also, on closer inspection, found text just to the right of that image. It says

"Teihr olny way in is"---> Their only way in is

Finally, don't how I missed this before, but on both my computers now, in the taskbar, there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it. As near as I can tell, it doesn't do anything....yet.

The coma video was...umm...interesting. I saw couple of words flash by that I'll have to look at later. Also, in the /self directory, besides sr_02 and MSG, was FFFF343$$$$@@!.idgi1 which translates into:

WINNING NOTIFICATION
We are pleased to inform you of the result of the Lottery Winners International
programs held on the 30th january 2005. Your e-mail address attached to ticket
number 001705266-6352 with serial number 662-98549 drew lucky numbers 3-6-4-11-
which consequently won in the 2nd category, you have therefore been approved for a
lump sum pay out of 175,000.00 euros (One Hundred and Seventy five Thousand Euros)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Due to mix up of some numbers and names, we ask that you keep your winning
information very confidential till your claims has been processed and your
prize/money Remitted to you. This is part of our security protocol to avoid double
claiming and unwarranted abuse of this program by some participants.

This promotional program takes place annually. We hope with part of your winning you
will take part in our next year USD100 million international lottery.

Probably just something Henry found floating around the internet, but all the numbers in the begging stuck out to me. Especially the lucky numbers because it looks like there's one more (3-6-4-11-) Not a clue what they could be used for, but you never know. The filename doesn't translate to anything by the way.

Using my handydandy translator I get this:

Quote:
EVINS AUDIO LOGS WILL
E_PLAIN ALL
HAVE PATIENCE
SEE_ER
STAY STRONG


I doublechecked the "EVINS" thing -- is that referring to a person?

Also, all around the edges are a bunch of random letters (clockwise from top: B E O T M M F U R T M F T U U T U R S M T Y) plus in red are the letterx J X K Z Q -- I think this is telling us that these are the 5 missing letters, so 21 symbols plus these 5 = 26 alphabet.

John-- I swear I've seen those numbers elsewhere in the "spam" files...ugh, we may need to go through those and look for repeating patterns:(

wow--I bet it's "[K]evin's, since they've been consistently removing the K (also missing in see_er)

I've got that too, but do you guys have a file called _I.zip ?
I found it in my downloads folder and there's a gif that has the symbols moving around the screen then they line up to be a sentence
You probably already have it but i couldn't remember anyone mentioning something like that

I think it's one of the earlier downloads available in the folder on the desktop.

As far as the spam w/ the numbers, that's also present in the folder I just found interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sarah...so it probably does mean something

Edit: I also just realized you can now enter any number into the password field for 'the internet' on the desktop...that's new, not sure if it's connected, already tried the numbers in the spam with no result.

but my caution symbol just went away when i reopened my window, it was up there the last two times i reloaded the page, it's gone and so is the little drawing around the downloads folder

oh you know what the caution thing is, it tells you when you have new files to download off the folder

Edit:oh now i realize the drawing just disappears when you open it, i need some sleep

I just went through the Self Comatose video frame by frame and wrote down anything of importance. Unfortunately, 'print screen' doesn't show what's in the video, but it's easy enough to find it yourself.

The subtitles say, "Activate self comatose on encoded date and time humanity's only hope depends on this..." There are voices before the subtitles start but I can't make anything out.

There are three subliminal messages that say, "of the situation you are getting yourself" Seeing as how the video has nothing to do with us this could either be something he told someone, something he was told, or something he overheard.

The binary is 1001011110(1?) repeating. Doesn't translate to anything.

There's a screen that shows the ad from the "Sarah killed by VMA" article:
Avenida Rafeal Murillo Vidal
1735 colonia Cuahutemoc
Museo Interactivo de Xalapa
This is apparently a real life Interactive Museum of Xalapa. Can't find it in Google Earth and the first line makes me curious. Are they names of the owners?

There is also the ad that is above the museum ad in the same article. I Googled 'Xalapa halcones uv' and all it turns up is the Xalapa Falcons basketball team. Maybe someone working on Henry is a fan? Although it's a strange looking ad for a basketball team. Maybe it's for something else.

Does anybody have any idea what to do with any of this? Confused
