 		Hi there. I've been following this game on my own for the last couple of weeks. Yesterday, I wrote an email to that address in the Wanted Poster:

Quote:
I may or may not have information on Loki.

What's your offer?


This is Kay Curran's reply (new information is underlined):

Quote:
Thank you for your co-operation.

The person who is calling himself Loki has broken the law by releasing documents that are sensitive to the security of our country. He is operating under the misguided idea of transparency, but I am afraid that the stakes are much higher than he could imagine. Information like this can cause trouble diplomatically and politically . But most importantly, he came upon documents and information that was not his to possess. If you run across any of this information, if would be invaluable. If you are in direct contact with this person, I advise you to be careful, and to tell him that he's better off turning himself in. What I have to offer you is immunity. If you have come in contact with any sensitive materials, you yourself could be held to account for them. All that goes away. Yes, loki's facing some jail time, but the sooner he turns himself in, the better for us all.

SA Kay Curran


Seems like I'm with the bad guys now. Any ideas what I could say next?

Also. Did you notice there's a second trailer up at Youtube?:

 		So it looks like the Runic/Unicode decodes to part of the poem Voluspa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6lusp%C3%A1):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Brothers will fight
and kill each other,
sisters' children
will defile kinship.
It is harsh in the world,
whoredom rife
—an axe age, a sword age
—shields are riven—
a wind age, a wolf age—
before the world goes headlong.
No man will have
mercy on another.


EDIT: According to Wikipedia, this part of the poem refers to the "state of humanity" near the beginning of Ragnarok. That's cheery!

Are you suggesting that we're in for a war?
-Jordan

And I just received this reply. I wonder what she means?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm moving us over to this email...safer

Loki sends along this:

Our greatest hopes and our worst fears are seldom realized,.

Our worst fears are realized.

Hold on.

Also, new email address. sigynSPLATragna-rok.net

Edit: What should I say back? Or should I just wait?

 		That's a quote by Jim McKay regarding the Munich massacre at the 72 Olympics.

What with the quote, and the ragnarok video/poem, they're implying something catastrophic is about to happen/is happening.
I wonder if I should say something back or not..

 		Just in case some people haven't caught this yet, the KGB id card is Karl Justice, it's the same person as from the second trailer.

 		Spreading The Word
New message from Sigyn.
I sent
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Quoting Jim McKay I see.
Cryptic.. and a bit morbid.

Holding on,
Jordan


I've just received this about 15 minutes ago.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

thanks.

You're one of the good ones.

Say, maybe you CAN help us. Loki was VERY disappointed that the packages he sent out went largely unpublished.

Personally I think HE thinks he's Julian Assange. He's worried that only publishing on the web could leave him vulnerable. Do you have any suggestions?

Is that too obvious? I'm not as good as Loki when asking for things cryptically.

Also, that agent is in for a surprise soon, but keep that under your hat

Sigyn



I'm not entirely sure how to reply. I was going to say print something in a newspaper, but thats a lot of work for something In Game..
Any suggestions?

 		I think Loki / Sigyn want to send something via mail or drop off point. A few days ago I offered to have something sent to me here in NYC, then got this:
Quote:
I am getting more afraid every day. I may take you up on your offer. Do you have a mail address?

LOKI




I wrote back saving I have a small mailbox and would pick up if I could, but also he could send to my office. But... now I've been traveling 3 days so I'll have to check if anything came. Maybe others got something mailed and missed it?

Ah ok, I'll do that then.
I haven't received anything, but then again, I never gave out my address.

I offered to give LOKI my snail mail address back on Feb. 8th, but never even got a reply. Dunno

 		Sigyn is going to send me something in the mail!
Here's the message I got back from her:
Quote:
Oh, that would be PERFECT!

Loki, is going stir crazy, no being able to communicate with people directly, it is driving him CRAZY.

I like that.

Sigyn


I'm excited to finally receive something in the real world. Very Happy

 		In the second trailer there are also two pictures at 1:08 which I found suspicious.


I suspect that the rainbow should be a reference to Bifröst. (Wikipedia: In Norse mythology, Bifröst or Bilröst is a burning rainbow bridge that reaches between Midgard, the world, and Asgard, the realm of the gods.)


I found out that this is a picture of a matchbox which comes from a factory at Unddevalla Sweeden. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/paintedfishstudio/2522862783/).
There is also some information about the history of that factory it was build in 1874 and closed 1938. The text about it is in German (http://www.zuendholzschachteln.de/sw112g.htm). Let me know if somebody need a translation but I think I'm digging to deep into this.

Hey all I made a rough translation of the code on the Ragnarok page. I think it is this passage from Voluspa. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6k#V.C3.B6lusp.C3.A1)

Brothers will fight
and kill each other,
sisters' children
will defile kinship.
It is harsh in the world,
whoredom rife
—an axe age, a sword age
—shields are riven—
a wind age, a wolf age—
before the world goes headlong.
No man will have
mercy on another.
