Apologies if this has already been addressed, but the "Secret Trials" document on the intranet checks out to an actual CIA project of the 1950s

Secret trials...

Is that inside the private area?

Also, took a look at he wikipedia page. If it has been altered by any GM, it was well covered. It seems genuine.


Yup, it's in the private folder on the intranet. It's the same picture as this, from the wiki article, from what I can tell

I also don't understand what parcel thing you are talking about...someone mentioned going to "the parcelvault website", but I can't even figure out where THAT is...


That makes two of us. Will take a look right now. Could anyone repost the parcelvault code here, please?


Theres a link on March 2nd in the calendar. To get the code you have to link to your black helix account I think.

 		pdf code idea
I think the code is like a book cipher, using the .PDF itself as the source. The number before each dot is the page, after the word (take the first letter of each word) dashes separate letters. There are 14 pages in the pdf and the numbers before the dot range from 1 to 14. I'll try to check this, but someone else may be able to faster.

 		Thanks, bruce.

Parcelvault site can be found along with the code in the calendar. The parcel ID can be seen in the ParcelVault site when you enter the code obtained by the calendar. You can then set it to be shipped to your location, although the "Send Details" button ain't working for me.

Just for completeness....MKULTRA is/was genuine.....and as f***ed as any CIA related conspiracy theory you've heard! many ratified stories of experiments on soldiers, and supposedly ratified stories of tests on unsuspecting members of the 'public' too.....a LOT of totally unproven, potentially bullshit ones too though, but the program definitely existed and was sinister.

 		On the pharmucom site there are 2 links commented out in the sourcecode.
The info on those pages doesn't strike me as particularly relevant though :

 		Claim parcel
Went to the parcel post and tried to claim the parcel using 110311, but was told it was an invalid ID.

hmm, wonder if you have to have previous achievements for it to work?

 		Oh, wow. I managed to make it work simply by removing an apostrophe from my town's name.

EDIT: Estimated Delivery date is March 5th. There will be a scheduled system maintenance the same day at the UKSRI Intranet. Coincidence?

 		Up to speed with the achievements, and am too tired to do much work on the Herbal Medicines code and the mystery (phone?) number code tonight.

Also, I sent a feeler email to Jess's work account (sort of an "is anyone out there" thing), will see if I get a hit.

That's all for me tonight - brain is fried. What a week!! Very Happy
