I don't know, why, but ORPH sounds for me as Orpheus.


?From Greek orphe, "darkness" (Wiki)

NB. Also Orpheus "with his music and singing, he could charm birds, fish and wild beasts, coax the trees and rocks into dance" - Brings us back to the ESP/PSI theories

Yes, who knows... I mean... Orph could be Orpheus, but as Dust King mentioned, it could be Orphan. I mean... Have Josh seen his father? And how much can we be sure, Josh weren't... alien? Produced in a secret experiment. Like his Sarah and Clive (I mean, Clive said, his father were forest ranger, but does he know it from what his mother told?).

And now they are in an appropriate age, they - the aliens in human body - are ready for something. And Mysterio is perhaps somebody from military, looking for harvest? He could be also right, he perhaps knows, where Joshs father is - and he will arrange the family meeting?

Foreshadowing

gramma wrote:
anyway i thinks its ok when we assume that Mr. Myst ( Very Happy ) uploaded it as new content for josh


In the STIES Chat, mysterio did say to Josh "ill share more of what i have and maybe it will help you," Im thinking that those photos are what he uploded for Josh during his chat.



Also as a side note maybe just maybe, in Josh next post he will be posting pictures of his "new tank" that he bought. Maybe hints there..maybe

Since that seems the logical next step of things that were foreshadowed.

Then again I am probably totally wrong Confused

With ARGO being used on the crates, I am inclined to believe that ORPH is definitely referring to Orpheus.

The Argos was a ship, so it seems to fit in with traveling trucks/crates etc or referring to a spaceship as I believe someone has mentioned.

Orpheus was famed for his mission to rescue his beloved Euydice from hell by going in himself to bring her back after she had been killed by a snake. (Its been a while since I did Latin, but that's the gist of the story I think)

I'm just thinking out loud here, but perhaps after the Roswell crash, they somehow knew more Aliens were coming back to rescue the fallen?

Incidentally, Orpheus also traveled on the Argos and drowned out the infamous Siren's song with his own incredible music thereby saving the ship from the rocks.

dot pattern

I still think, those are the same dots as on the trucks. The STIES dots are just stamps, and they are always unaccuratelly stamped. So we don't know, perhaps it's a military research, that's why there is a Grade field on the passes. But since they are technician and researchers, they just don't have military grad. Well, perhaps


I agree, the dot's are stamped.

It is likely they are contractors or civil service and even possible they are active military. There are certain locations where rank/grade will never be displayed for secrecy/security reasons. Military personnel won't even wear their uniforms and actually receive a civilian clothing allowance.



There seems to be a pattern with the dots placement. The two Researchers have the dots rotated with the point facing right. The two Technicians have their point facing downward.

On the trucks, the dots have their point facing to the left (we only get one side of the truck view, so we're assuming here).

Just happy to be researching again ^____^

After studying some of the id's further, im not convinced that it is even ORPH, i believe it is 0(zero)RPH. If you compare image 23-MHC-2BR the 0 in 58-0RPH-47 and RW-046-BM are the same. Being the other expiration dates have a 3 digit number after the first dash, i believe 046 is a number, making the identification 0RPH.

Another reason i believe this is because a typewriter will write in a courier type font. Attached is an image that compares the two. The top is ORPH and the bottom is 0(zero)RPH.

Also the H could possibly stand for Hanger. Which could be where these individuals where stationed.

When I googled TROGL the majority of what I found was to do with cave-dwelling fish. I found the name of one species - Ozark Cavefish - but it wasn't on the Hook Line & Minker pics. I'll look into the latin names of the fish that are there and report back if I find anything.

As Jane said a few pages behind the configuration of the 3 dots changes based on the job (or I assume that way for what we have at the moment).
I don't understand what was discuss about the dots being just stamps, and therefore may be inaccurate. For me it is clear that the dots were stamped at the IDs, put the position of the stamp matter. The configuration that we have at the moment points to, at least, three main types of jobs.
Seeing the comparison made by machinehead112, the only thing that I can say is that the 0 in 0RPH is different from the 0 in RW-046-BM. Laughing

If it is 0(zero)RPH - then wouldn't the other be the the letter 'O'46? The one with the 46 is more round. Judging by most fonts, it looks like number 0RPH and letter O46. Which is which?

I agree, the 'O' in 046, looks rounder than the other, but i think that is just in the picture i uploaded. Something might have happened in my cutting and pasting, I'm not the best with Photoshop. Looking at the original picture they look more alike than they do in my image. But the more i look at it the more i'm not sure. Anybody else have any thoughts?

Forensics - Ruler
pictures

When I see photos with rulers behind things - I think of forensics or crime scene photos where the put something in the frame to help us visualize the size.

After looking at the copy on my computer from STIES, I think you're right that something happened between Photoshop and upload that caused the difference. They actually look to about the same size.

Great ideas, everyone;
Mysterio obviously posted the photos either to (finally) offer something substantive (in that you would assume that Josh's mother at least may have told Josh that his father worked on some project for the DOD), and/or to prompt Josh's memory regarding similarities in the badges with things Josh may have been told by others, or saw in the items left him by his mother.

I too feel that it looks like a "zero" and then RPH.

RPH could stand for "research program/project headquarters."

And the orientation of the three dots makes it very easy to determine security clearance of project members.

Regarding the "underground" aspect, Area 51 is adjacent to the underground (and above-ground) nuclear testing area.

If this is a monster/alien flick, perhaps one of the underground nukes unleashed something buried (as perhaps has been alluded to before) and it was contained at Area 51 before technology evolved to further investigate "it" at Dayton?

The tech with the "TROGL" penned over the ripped off area where the photo had been, appears to be African-American, and regarding all of the badges, why were the photos ripped off? Obviously there should have been some hard copy list of who were team members for guards to verify names to faces.

There is possibly another rather disconcerting implication by "TROGL"--either that team member is in the condition of all good Troglodytes—extinct, or maybe buried, either way, not good. Crying or Very sad

And the badges look as though they've all been exposed to a heat source--the charring, the shriveling of the lamination, even parts of them seem broken/cut off, with one of them appearing to have been bent over.

I just wonder what Mysterio is trying to tell Josh by posting these badges.
