[RABBITHOLE] Regenesis I received an interesting package in the mail today, containing a newsletter and a letterbox. Check it out:

The image files are somewhat large, but I didn't want to mess too much with the quality. The site mentioned is live, and looks very interesting.
Edit: The text block descrambles to: Regenesis
Thanks to ScarpeGrosse, we have this:

Heh, I like how the forums on sciencesucks.com have supposedly had it's database lost, hence the emptiness.
I call ARG.

Check scan001 - between the letters horizontally. Bloody Morse, without spacing.

I doubt it's related, but this was the first thing that came to mind when I read the edited document:
Quote:
Plot Summary for
Mission: Impossible II (2000)
IMF agent Ethan Hunt has been sent on a mission to retrieve and destroy the supply of a genetically created disease called 'Chimera' . His mission is made impossible due to the fact that he is not the only person after samples of the disease. He must also contest with a gang of international terrorists headed by a turned bad former IMF agent who has already managed to steal the cure called 'Bellerophon' and now need 'Chimera' to complete their grand plan of infecting the whole world. In order to infiltrate and locate the terrorist group he relies on the help of an international thief Nyah of whom he quickly develops a love interest. Time is not only running out for Agent Hunt to find and destroy 'Chimera' before the terrorists get their hands on it, but he must also find 'Bellerophon' so as to save his love interest who has already become infected by the disease from a terrible and rapid death.

regenisis How are folks in the US and other places going to get to see this program? Maybe someone will upload the episodes to a peer network so we can see it, too.

Somehow I don't think pirating the show is going to go over great with the PMs.

From the Guide Page on the Regenesistv.com site:
Quote:
There are currently no episodes available.
Does that suggest what I think it does?

You mean like they might make them available for downloading? We can only hope.

saweet! I got the package in the mail today too too cool...
someone's been watching me hehe...
I put the 2+2 together when I noticed the date was Oct 24, 2004, and there was a forum on the sciencesucks.com site called "regenesis", then the word mix made sense... I marked the 24th on my calendar recently to remind me to watch the premiere of ReGenesis on TMN because it looked interesting from the commercials I'd seen...
cool, I got a rabbithole
