 		Um, while I realize there's not much of a basis for this, inside every token has been a number grid with different numbers on it. Like sudoku, only smaller. And none of the grids have repeated the numbers from what I have seen... maybe this number sequence is a hint to the password of the Soldiers of Shen file? It could be... seems like we have little explaination for the five token's contents outside of that...

They are (all together) a sudoku.
From the Baron:

I will give you a chance however, what do you know of single digits adding up to 45, each in a series of 9 digits creating a 81 celled grid. I have seen this puzzle in ancient texts, some in Taragorm's possession. Perhaps you hold the key, do you?


How we get the key code... yet to be determined

Translates using ROT18:

Not sure where you got your translation from, I think other code is an anagram of the above too.

 		I just got an email from COPS saying that a cracked version of the Soldiers of Shen file is now up in the Old Missing Wallace website. Dunno if I trust the COPS to.post up an unmodified version but when I try DLing it on my cell phone I just get a ton of gobbldygook. Can someone else check it out before I get off work?

 		Rolling Eyes Got 2 emails: one from W. saying Louise had cracked the ROT18 that sgfan (Props!) posted and the other from FPSun...

saying the shell (txt.file) of folder 19980 was cracked. It's called "vrwdcnb" which at ROT17="minutes" and contains a YTvid link & "480s" (divided by 60= 8minutes). However, for me that's not the PW for the "Division" zip file. Dunno any more, Zobot.

Doh!! I saw storm bringer in the anagrams for the orbs thingy, but not being familiar with Moorcock's worls, didn't think much of it (as there were plenty of other meaningful anagrams). THe hypertensive thing was a 2 minutes pattern match while at work... should have spent more time on it, but couldn't Smile

Well done guys.

BTW... not able to be around much for the next little bit due to work.... will still drop in, but not able to do much.

Wallace in an email wrote:
Do not fancy going any where near the zone too. Louise says that the password to original file was: Eternal Champion. Does not help now of course. I had a look at the files inside (bit annoyed they are using my website though) the next puzzle.

Something about 480 s which I assume is 480 seconds which in turn is 8 minutes. The ELO song is talking about someone called: Joe. Being a bit of an ELO fan I know that song is from the Balance of Power album. The previous Soldier of Shen file, its title was the clue, so I am going go out on a limb here and say that Division is also a clue.

8 Minutes
Balance of Power
Division

What have they got in common? Sorry my brain is mush today, I might have to resort to Guiness to restart the little grey cells as they say.


Googling the terms leads HERE. John (Johnny) Howard the same-named member of Corcas and Prime Minister seems logical as the PW 'tho on joy on my comp. Really good luck with these as like Reesylou am RL busy & my comp. doesn't like 7z files.

 		Sorta insane yet there's another 7z file & more insanely here's the PW having done a paper on Sumeria eons ago. Laughing

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Lorraine (case sensitive) fron the likely Sumerian origin of the famous Cross

"Kad's" txt.file contains the title & Base64 clues. "Cross" ZIP has a sudoku piece plus the attached MP3. update @ Foilhead.

Also RU in an email wrote:
19980 has been spotted, it appears to be on a direct course for Earth. It is obvious now that Corcas means to destroy us all, the clock is ticking.

 		New correspondance between Louise and I:

Quote:
Dear Louise,

I was wondering if you had heard anything of Wallace's plans... I mean, it seems like every lead's exhausted! What do you think he can try now?

Aside from that, do you know anything about Bill's book? I have heard it may be about ancient sumaria... or maybe not. What have you heard?

Sincerely,

Zobot


and then:

Quote:
Zobot,

Wallace is quite depressed I think he assumed that he would get the same number of people in the online community to help. Bit of a narrow view if you ask me. I'm somewhat worried that he might do something incredibly stupid. He is still depressed over that kid's funeral in Wales he hasn't been the same Wallace since.

I don't know anything about Bill's book, but you could be right about ancient sumer since that is Bill's area of expertise. Not sure how that helps with this case though, Wallace did say however that Bill is good with puzzles.

Sorry must dash, nice chatting with you.

L.


I feel a bit bad for Wallace. Wish there was a way I could help... At least I have a good idea of what Bill's book is about now. Not that it helps.

A meteor is coming to destroy us all!

We need to work fast!
