 		Drejl here...
... I believe J.Y. is a reference to the Futhark alphabet since it doesn't contain a Y. Therefore the J would be a subsitute for the Y. Y = J and vice versa.

 		New message on facebook from EC:

Quote:
De retour de San Francisco, un dernier voyage avant de partir. À mon arrivée, un colis m'attendait: du pancuronium et une machine mécanique très étrange... Je crois que tout est prêt pour mon départ de Lundi.


Translates to: I returned from San Fransisco, a last trip before my departure. On my arrival a package was waiting for me: pancuronium and a strange, mechanical machine. I believe all is ready for my departure on Monday.

Okay, so... How about we throw a brick at her head to make her snap out of it?.. This looks like a BG suicide copy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancuronium

Edit1: Strange things going on. I checked the last puzzle on a different machine and the J.Y. had suddenly changed to J.W. Not sure what that means..

Eidt2: Also, new update at yellowcurtain.com. New image there. See below. Johann Wierus (Weyer)... J.W.? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Weyer

The image is a clue to the answer on the last puzzle. In one of Weyer's volumes the demons are scaled by numbers. Hence spirit 13.

 		I am new to this ARG. How do you go about getting the e-mails? Is there a way to get on the mailing list or is it too late?

 		I just cracked the 666 page that randomly comes up sometimes. Has anyone else looked at it?

 		J.W means something (as the qadhos organisation blog posted http://barbizon-group.blogspot.com/ Johann Weyer, J.W. but the J.Y still doesn't make sense.

also a new video and background in the qadhos server. couldnt identify the pic, but the song is "Pixies - Where Is My Mind"

stange things are going on, and we should really hurry up the decision about contacting EC before she gets out of the picture.

we did look the 666 page, but i dont think anyone managed to break it.

 		Been away for a few days, catching up... I think an error on the J.Y. tbh.. I think the actual J.W. along with the 'Beleth' sigil would have lead us to, as Drejl's post, "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum" where he calls Beleth, Byleth and thus the answer <shrug>

The update on Eleanor's FB is interesting.. didn't the BTYC FB say something about;

(after me getting stuck 18h between Monreal and San Francisco)


maybe coincidence or strange tie-in..?


Tex...


ETA: Hi morph, no emails tbh, Bobby has one and that can be found on the BTYC wiki and it's never too late to join or to share.. Smile

ETA2: as drejl mentions about the suicide, the three drugs she has so far are the three drugs used as part of lethal injection;
Quote:
The execution of the condemned in most states involves three separate injections (in sequential order): WIKI


and lol.. ETA3: she is doing it on Monday..? "Beware the Ides of March" is all I can say.. :p and. . . shock horror, it's her birthday on Monday.. ><

 		I was wrong about cracking the code for 666. What I meant to say was that I had FOUND the 666 page. Sorry for the confusion from a new agent.

 		Ooh Morph... you had us all biting our finger nails.. Very Happy

And just to add... it seems Bobby has now been taken out of the Meta of the game... Confused and the wiki now says;

"At any time you can reach for help by contacting directly the Qadhos Organization via email. (qadhos AT gmail.com)"

don't make it too obvious guys... Rolling Eyes

WARNING: Hidden puzzle 1 was solved @ 15:39:08 by someone in British Columbiam congratulation! This is a major breaktrough.


which is strange, why is the warning? and puzzle 1? there is more then 1?

also, letter from BR:

Quote:

IMMEDIATE INSTRUCTION - TO ALL AGENTS:

Some sensitive information has been leaked. We ask for all agents to maintain a radio silence for the next 3 days. Avoid any form of communication, either online or offline, that could be track by someone else.



I repeat our current instruction:

We must not contact Eleanor Carter under any circumstance.

We also must not pursue any investigation in the Qadhos system until we found the internal leak.



Our life may be in danger, please used caution.


this forum topic and the mibbit chat are OOG, so they are save, but be careful in other places, like FB and blog comments.

 		Just got a new e-mail from Bobby about the new QADHOS e-mail:

Quote:
qadhosSPLATgmail.com? Where did you get that?

I never heard of that email before. Communication are encrypted and send via frequency 28.225 over CB channel. The only official email is my, as the liaison agent.

Right now we need to focus on the task at hand, You can ask other agent out there, I am with the organization since 4 years and believe me, something is about to happen.

Follow my instruction clearly:
- Do not contact Eleanor Carter
- Stop investigation www.qadhos.com as further puzzle unlock may actually trigger a sub-routine that we wont be able to stop.

 		Being new to this I was not sure who to trust and now I do not beleive I can trust Bobby any longer.

Here is my correspondance with him today:

1st e-mail caught me up.

Then I cracked the code.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Who is Solvej? I know the password is dreamwalker but what are the 8 letters from her? I know Solvej is a name meaning origin. What more can you tell me about this?


He replied with:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sir, for now I will ask you to wait before going any further.


My superior have informed me that we should not contact Eleanor in any circumstance. I don't know where you get Solvej from but this is highly sensitive information that you must keep secret at all cost. Do not publish it or share this with any one online, even with other agent. We must keep this secret at all cost, even from other agent.




I will keep you posted shortly.




Thank you for your work, this is impressive as your first day of work!!




More to come soon
