ok... today both Patient Q and Patient H provided us with incomplete binary messages....

Patient H appended his at the bottom of his blog post but it got cut off.... I believe we are missing the last letter of the message. In order to convert it to Ascii, I had to add some 0's to the end of the message just to get it the right length... so what we end up with is a missing character at the end. What I was able to get said:

BLOG WA

The only letter I can come up with to put there is "R"... but Blog War doesn't mean a whole lot to me yet.. i have to think on that.

Patient Q gave us a bunch of X's and O's that she found on a note in her bread.... replacing the X's with 1's and the O's with 0's ... the message again was incomplete and I padded the end with 0's once more....

This string translated to: Em liam , which is backwords for "Mail Me". Now to find an email address.

-Maurice


They are complete. You must not have copied all of it. Hop on the IM.

 		For H's #10 post, I found a "Leics": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicestershire

Quote:
Leicestershire, abbreviation Leics., is a landlocked county in central England


Also, there's a message in red at the top of H's blog:

Just to let you guys know, that message is IN GAME.


Also, got an email back from Sykes.

I don't have access to the journal feeds, if thats what you mean.
Noone does, that is personal to the patient - unless they breach the
rules, as Hayes did. and even then, they can only see the posts, not
the comments.

I have to be brief, my name is tim sykes. I used to work with Hayes,
or H as you know him. but 2 days ago he just disappeared.

Look, I'm just a flunkie, i shove food down the chutes each day and
maintain the lighting. I'm already way over my head. I try not to
think about what they are testing down there.

Ok, I'm not much use, but I might be able to find out some information
- I will scope out Hayes' apartment tomorrow, see what I can find.
Give me some time.

I'm sorry,
Tim S Sykes

 		MAJOR UPDATE


I've been conversing with Sykes, the man that's helping us, and I'm going to post the messages.

First message:

We got your note. I take it you know who I am..

My reply:
Quote:
Thank you for emailing me back, Sykes. Do you know who Q is? Anything about the gas or Hayes and "Q" that may be pertinent to why they are being held as they are?

Just in case you don't know, they don't know who they are. The gas is making them tired, and also seems to have very potent healing properties (Although I feel as though it's Hayes himself.).


By the way, I'm Erca. I've been one of the originals helping H out (Though not the only, of course), and I found Q's blog.

Were H and Q related to one another?
Are there any more "patients?"


Once again, thank you for your help. I know that this comes at a great risk to you.


Reply from Sykes:
Quote:
There are 4 patient rooms in this facility. But only 2 filled at the
moment. I have no idea who Patient Q might be, they always call the
patients by their surname initial.

Listen, I'm just a domestic guy. I'm paid nearly double the normal
salary to make sure everything is working properly and to keep my
mouth shut. I don't know what they do down there, and until earlier
today, I didn't want to know. But now they have Hayes, crap, and they
are testing their stuff on him? oh christ.

Hayes and me work for a pharma company know as WK pharms, don't bother
looking - you won't find them. But there is big money involved.

Look, I'll go to Hayes' see what I can find. But they are watching him
like a hawk.


My reply:
Quote:
Okay. Thank you very much. And are you sure that they can't read the comments? I don't want any of our people dropping your name.

Do you know if they have monitoring equipment in the rooms? Microphones? Cameras? If they don't have anything, then stick to the dead-drops in Q's room.

By any chance, could the gas pumps just accidentally stop working? If it's too much of a risk, then don't do it. But if you can somehow disable it without them knowing, or something they cannot fix quickly, then it would help us a lot.

Don't take any unnecessary risks when at Hayes' apartment. If you feel threatened in anyway they get out of there as soon as you can. We may need a man on the inside.


EDIT: NEW EMAIL
Quote:
I've turned the gas down halfway, that should help, I think. If I turn it totally off, it sets off an alarm and head office is notified. As far as I know the rooms are clean, the only contact is through me placing their meals down the chute. I know a guy in maintenance, I'll speak to him, see what he knows.
I'm just leaving now to go to Hayes', I think I remember where he lives. If I find something, I'll let you know.

Thankyou,

TimothySSykes.

 		2 more patient rooms could mean the other 2 patient blogs may come into use soon.

And Patient H = Hayes right? If so and he works for the same pharmaceutical company as Sykes, why is Hayes now a patient?

 		Latest post from H has odd capitalization. The capitalized bits read:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I I NEED I MOR I S E KEY H
and the ones that aren't just capitalized I's or the H that refers to Hayes are:
NEED MOR S E KEY
It would appear that Hayes wants to use Morse code but doesn't know how. Can someone hook him up?

I think Hayes wants us to know where Nelson Mandela went to prison, Robben Island, but I'm not so sure?
Although that may be where he and Q are being held.

Seems a bit random to bring in mandela! Also other clues have pointed to them being held in Britain, more specifically in Leicestershire.

Resorocker: huh? darknaturals? wha'?

 		Found something that may be of use.

I googled "Nelson Mandela Leics" and came up with this from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_Prison
It's a men's prison in Leicester, Leicestershire, England that is immediately north of Nelson Mandela Park. This could be where H and Q are being held.

Not so sure about where "tiger" fits in.
