 		Beaut reconstruction etc. Pic might have been called "outside" as it seems someone is (enlarge for better resolution). And:

 		I tried to clean the image a little. You can definitely see that it's of the side of a house with a window. I guess the focus is supposed to be the creepy shadow cast across the siding.

I sent a copy to Erica asking if she recognizes the location. Somehow I get the feeling it may be her house.

 		My ladybug instincts said that Kenny, 'tho misguided, might be getting a bad rap so I tweeted him about the "outsid.jpeg".

Said OK and will post his reply/email when something comes. Cyas...

 		Dutiful double with Kenny's reply. His life is turning odd & he needs accurate intel from y'all about the "hacking"/photo etc.

Kenny from email wrote:
From: livengoodSPLATwhiteshirtlearning.com

This is insane. That picture is of my house! (see the attached photo. looks the same to me!)

As if trying to keep my business afloat wasn't enough? Now I have some stalker taking creepy photos of my house? There's this faculty member, Erica Drake, who thinks my work is practically evil and she's spending all of her free time blasting me everywhere she can. For all I know, she's taking pictures outside my house just to creep me out. Of course, I dare not accuse her of it because before I could blink it would be all over Twitter.

Then I get some weird email from her little hacker boyfriend who tells me to leave her alone just because I invited her to have a discussion at a conference in Vegas we're both attending.

On top of all that... my backers, who saved my company, are getting stranger by the day. The email below from last September should be enough to prove that.

I really do appreciate you showing me that photo. I don't want to sound mad at you. The company who provided me funding offered to take over hosting my site and I don't have access to anything but my company's page so I have no idea how it got there or who took it. I spent today trying to get into the file directory with no luck so now I'm not sure what to do. How did you find it?

 		Has anyone tried to register for Educomm yet?
Hmm...
Also, headed to the library soon to scope out hardcopies of the books. I'll let you know what I find, if anything.

 		I was bored today and lurking the forums and saw there was activity on this seemingly silent thread, so decided to catch up on this.

So after activity dropped off I believe sometime on or before May 26 Haxxdragon updated his conspiracy site that he interecepted an email:
Quote:
WTF?! Intercepted this email. Subject line: Prototype Delivery

44 35 31 32 24 51 15 34 22 35 35 14 12 42 24 34 22 35 45 42 14 15 51 24 13 15 44 35 44 23 24 43 32 35 13 11 44 24 35 34 33. 75 42 14 -84. 28 71 07 35 34 44 23 15 44 52 15 34 44 54 43 24 53 35 21 54 35 45 42 33 11 54 11 21 44 15 42 54 35 45 42 43 44 11 42 42 35 44 11 44 15 43 21 42 35 33 51 24 15 52


Haxxdragon then tweeted about heading to a set of GPS coordinates and planned to film the meeting of Kenny delivering his prototype to the mysterious "backers". I know it's after the fact and assuming Haxxdragon figured this out himself, the message reads:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using a Polybius Square (minus the Q):
The message decodes to:
TO K LIVENGOOD BRING OUR DEVICE TO THIS LOCATION
33.754214 -84.287107
ON THE TWENTY SIX OF YOUR MAY AFTER YOUR STAR ROTATES FROM VIEW

According to Google Maps, the GPS location was in Deerborn Park in Decatur, GA.

He also apparently uploaded some sound files he intercepted before he headed out:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sound files are in Morse code:
intercept1.1 = KENNY IS A FOOL
intercept1.2 = WE WILL TAKE HIS PLACE AT THE CONFERENCE
intercept2.1 = HUMANS WILL NOT DETECT YOU
intercept2.2 = WITHOUT 3D GLASSES OR LASERS


The next day Haxxdragon's YT account auto-posted this video. The footage shows what appears to be Kenny giving a package to an unknown person and then some creepy thing kidnapping Kenny. And I guess Haxxdragon met an unfortunate end?

Educomm is Friday or Saturday I think, if you are in touch with Erica it would be wise to alert her of what happened and to maybe beware of Kenny at the conference? Anyway sorry for lurking and just wanted to make sure the solutions to these puzzles get posted. Too bad about the book puzzle, I got nothing on that.
