 		How did you do that Penelope? I'm working on that for 10 minutes now, but I am using an external program now to change the phase. How did you do it with the program on the site? Please tell me!

Congrats for being so creative, skilled and fast!

 		What I understood from your file so far:

"You have found a hidden message
You are a real champion of the Conspiracy
I am (the Steward of London ...???)
I wish to stay anonymous.
Too much is going on in London for me to reveal my identity.
You need to find (Inbox's?) package.
You need to bring it to London.
I understand it raises more questions than I am possible allowed to answer
But (... ??? before time ....???) the answers"

Can anyone fill some of the gaps?

 		I used Audacity.

First I tried to invert the phase of Hope 1-4 and mix it with Hope Mix, in the hopes that the waves would cancel out each other, but it didn't work, because 1-4 were already inverted.
I mixed them together and that was it (pretty much - there was a bit of stereo-splitting involved, but I lost track of exactly what I did in the end.)

ETA: @fanfan, Sam was quicker with the transcription - look back a bit. Smile

 		And how could I see that if he edits an older post to put his transcript in? :/

Oh, forget it!

Thanks for your explanation.

 		I believe the last bit of the hidden message is "Search in Zambia for the answers".

mayday!!!
so...i kinda effed up

usually i check pegbox's account religiously for new uploads....until yesterday when i just stopped for some reason

now, i just checked it, and there is a video it looks like from last night where she is asking us to help her decide whether to escape to Europe either through gibaltar or through cairo

we were supposed to check the map for bb's to find their location and tell her which way was safest

her latest video shows that she made her decision without us and is now stopped at a checkpoint, it doesnt look good

on the map (you need to pull back to be able to see spain), it seems like she chose the wrong way....its littered with bb's

1)we need to get ahold of marcus asap for him to text nadirah--i emailed him, but who knows how often he checks it....does anyone know how to contact him directly

2)we need to get on this email hacking software and try to find away to keep the bb's in spain distracted

DOES ANYONE HAVE A NOKIA PHONE!!!!????

Here's the transcript so far....

I understand this raises more questions than I can possibly hope to answer.
But rest assured it will all reveal itself in due time search in [indiscernable -2 syllables] for the answers....


Having some trouble with the very end portion...

 		I have a Nokia and have been playing around with the "Mainframe Liberator" program. When you complete levels, you gain codes. I haven't worked out what to do with them, though.

The levels are meant to be BlackwellBriggs computer servers in different locations across the world:
  1. Stockholm, Sweden - 4k5hv645
  2. Houston, TX, USA - kjl457by4
  3. Zurich, Switzerland - k2hv6hvy
  4. Istanbul, Turkey - ilu345bv3
  5. London, UK - fbds5789
  6. Moyock, NC, USA - 67ur85fg
  7. Wellington, New Zealand - fq8ymmm
  8. Anchorage, AK, USA

...And that's as far as I have got. It's a frustrating little game. Save points every 4 mini-stages!

It said it scanned for my phone's IMEI number on startup (maybe why emulators are having trouble). Maybe the codes are different for each phone.

These codes are supposed to work on http://www.mail.blackwellbriggs.com

It's one big iunno.

Hmm, I didn't submit any details when I first started the app. It read my IMEI number, but that's it.

I got the app from the Ovi store, which has its own set of login credentials. I've tried all the different possible permutations in the form at http://www.mail.blackwellbriggs.com, none of which is giving me access.

Am I doing something wrong?

From what I have figured out of the game (and it cost me about 10 euros for downloading those files, f++ing Nokia policy) after you finish a stage it gives you the email account belonging to a BB emloyee which is linked to that code so perhaps if we try using that specific acc with the password it might work. Try to check on that, pls Wink

Btw we mightly screwed up with that route for Nadirah. We definitelly have to get in touch with LowKey and forward some new directions to her. We still don't have all the agent locations though but so far Portugal seems like a viable option. Of course that would mean she has to cross borders again which includes extra risk with her fake passport on the other hand she could take a ship from there straight to UK which I think is better for staying undercover than just getting on a plane.

Steward's message makes it pretty clear: Get PB's package from Zambia in other words tells us what we already know 'make sure Nadirah and the contract get to CFG in London'

 		You can generate a code here: http://bbemail.lovelace.conspiracyforgood.org/device/get_code?api_key=dd120c74044ccf80827f3b1d9cb540&IMEI=###############. Replace the #'s with any string of numbers, and it should work. Once you generate a code, wait a minute or two before inputting it into the box at http://conspiracyforgood.com/map (labelled Reveal Blackwell Briggs).

Inputting the codes seems to get the agents that have already been revealed. That is, the 7 agents in Spain seem to be the only ones that pop up.

EDIT:
All the information from the "Mainframe Liberator" Nokia app is in this file, here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CsNW9aaG. There must be some clues as to a username and password somewhere in there for http://mail.blackwellbriggs.com/...

 		Just for Rinflame!

Marcus & Brian transcript from yesterday....

After Marcus left Brian stayed for a while as well.


*ETA: Something just came to mind also, we were already told once by Jack to "look at David Nsofu's spring collection" and now from that hidden message we're also being told by the Steward of London to "search in Zambia for the answers". We've gotta be missing something....

Cool stuff SAINT.
Those IP addresses are wierd, and inconsistent (again me complaining about consistency). Some single-digits are padded with 0's, others are not. Plus we also have the magical IP address "101.0.666.58" which cannot exist. Reminds me of the movie "The Net" when they used the IP address "24.75.345.200".
