Well, that's obviously Connor on the vocal track, though I wish I could get it without the music and odd effects.

Not sure what to make of the first image of the water droping off the black thing. Looks like it could be a facemask of some sort.

As far as the water running down a sewer drain, perhaps that is meant to be taken literaly?

Does anyone else find it a bit weird that after the initial frames the video just fades to black with just the audio, only to show the same frames again at the end?
It could just be because they needed to fit all the audio in, of course, but if so, why not just loop the pictures as well?

Ok, am I being slow or is that timer on the Aguatero Industries website a new addition? http://aguateroindustries.com/carter/
It seems we have 16 days and 6 hours, give or take, to save Connor, or his fate will be determined by someone else (Lucinda probably...and that can't be good).

well the comment to the video says we have to find Connor and the FIRST key is hidden in the video.
If we could get a better handle on the first scene we moght have it. The audio is apparently Connor talking prior to the presentation on Thursday. maybe the key is in the presentation.

My notice came as a text message from Lucinda at 22:39. from enviro ment "Find me on youtube to find a message from your friend Connor Arter. the hunt starts now. LR"

So in the video, I don't want to give anything away, but if you look closely, does anyone else see what i see? I think I have the key, but where do i enter it?

I found the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN3Ckni3YUA

The comment reads: "The first key hides within this video. You'll need to find that and then enter what you've just seen."

The choice of wording might be important here. 'hides within this video' and 'enter what you've just seen' both jump out at me. So, what's hiding, exactly. The next question becomes, how, and where, do we enter what we've seen.

Obviosuly there's a stormdrain and that black thing... have no idea what that is. I also find myself wondering if the keyboards that play in the background are something we should be paying more attention to. To me it's telling that every frame of actual video centers around water drops falling. Even the account name is dripdroph20.

Also, I'm thinking that so far the puzzles for this game have been pretty simple and straight forward, is there any reason to expect this isn't the same. The answer may well be 'stormdrain' or 'rainwater' or 'drops' or something really easy like that. But, again, where do we 'enter what we've just seen?"

Rewatching the video, the cuts happen at :04, :11, :17, :27, 1:37, 1:45, 1:50, 1:59

Found the key

Hello all! I am new to ARGs and the forum, so I appologize for my noobish ways in advance. Wink

I believe I have found the key as well. I found it odd that the link to the youtube video from a few posts back brought me to youtube but it said that the video had been deleted by the user. I thought this was odd because it was so new. However, when I searched Conner Arter again, a video popped up that was just added an hour ago. I was the first viewer. By the sounds of the descriptions it's the same video...

Anyways, I believe I have found the key. I don't want to give anything away...

I am also wondering where this "key" goes...

*Edit*: I will preface this by saying that I mean no offense and I really like your ideas, Euthanatos! But unless there's more than one key in the video, it is much less complicated than that. Watch the video very carefully. There is a reason that the camera shots are repeated. : )

I agree with Fieldy, I may be oversimplifying it, but just look closely and hopefully everyone will be on the same page?

Put it in a spoiler tag here... I'm also thinking that if you somehow 'enter' the key into the H20 blog, that will do the trick. Or maybe the aguatero site.

The Key

As per your request, here is the key in the video:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ok so the second time the camera shots are shown there is something different. When the black thing is shown from underneath with water dripping towards the camera the words "daysarenumbered" are faintly visible towards the bottom of the screen. I guessing it's a password of some kind. I checked out the Aguatero website and found no place to put this in... also I have realized that the countdown timer seems to be missing now, unless I'm just not remembering which page it's on.

spoiler?

I think this is what the answer is,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
near the end of the video, when picture cuts back on, this appears faintly at the bottom: daysarenumbered


but I still am looking and am at a loss of where to enter it.

OK, whole new stage of this game starting...cool

Trying to spoiler the appropriate stuff here...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Frame grab in the second part of the video...

Then blowing up the relevant bit...

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1214/4730612230_9a70fd1dfd_b.jpg

DaysAreNumbered.com doesn't work, but it doesn't lead to a unknown domain site either; is there another clue in the video to make this address complete, or is it not a url?

Countdown

@heejin
I stumbled upon a countdown on the Aguatero website. I can't remember the official title but it was concerning Conner. It eerily sounded like a running count of days, hours, minutes, and seconds he has to live Shocked
