can you mention any links and such that might walkthrough the process of imbedding text/files in jpegs? Barnes and Noble and Amazon were all out of text imbedding for dummies Razz All kidding aside, I am not as tech savie as a majority of the folks here in unfiction, but I have messed enough with photoshop that I am sure it would not be too hard for me to follow with tutorials of some sort. Everything corrupts and will not open that I try. If this post belongs elsewhere... sorry.

If you'll look closely at what the SP asked for, you'll see that she wants the embedded text in the pictures that we are going to send master-sector on Tuesday. So, we have to wait until Tuesday.

This was stated earlier. Wink Trout

I just realized I trouted a moderator...sorry. :/
As for the method of embedding...the pics we send Melisssa can't be messed up looking, so it's safe to embed our text at the end of the picture file. it won't mess the picture up.

 		Yes? And since it's not Tuesday someone decided to send it anyway? And not in pics? And BTW stegging software readily available all over web.

If you read MY post carefully you will see I was not advocating sending mail. I was asking why someone had.

I don't think the picture messages and the file unlocking have to be at the same time. They may not have to be related. and I really am sorry about the trouting...I didn't mean to make you mad. Sad

 		Not mad about anything. Not sure why you trouted me. Don't care. Just curious why, when SP recommended pictures as a delivery mechanism and people decided that meant wait until Tuesday, others went ahead and sent plain old emails with the text.

 		I just got home from work and I'm catching up. Where did the idea come from that SP is asking for an encrypted message? What I read sounded like she was looking for something inconspicious like making the peace sign with our left hand but not holding that hand up. Or we could agree that the SPArmy wears red shirts. Just a secreat sign.

I think what they sent were the instructions to get the flea to transmit the subject5 files to Durga.

LAST EMPEROR OF CHINA ABDICATES
HONG KONG RETURNED TO CHINA

 		Alas, that doesn't relate to this thread. It's part of the visual puzzels that's being/been solved in the other hot thread for the Rani .waves. Check it out.

 		So who are the three people credited for unlocking the clips (see recipe3.html), what did they do to get the information through, and what does 5.14.77 mean? (Anyone here born on that date?)

The third one was unlocked by zemat, who posted here a couple weeks ago about another communication with the flea. Zemat, WTG and what'd you do?

 		Yay, I didn't realize I made it there. Very Happy

The truth is that I just copy-pasted Astald succesful mail to the PF a week back just changing the transcripts and attaching the current Herzog wavs. I also changed the subject to "Crewmember, What Is Your Version Number!" as SP suggested (Although I wasn't sure if that was the correct keyphrase to use).

Here's the copy of the mail I sent:
Quote:
behold:
!analyze seeker
success

friends > !transmit truth
seeker >> !analyze friends transmit proc

reveal:
!label Zemat

Zemat
!reveal Subject 5 > seeker
seeker > !transmit Subject 5 >> Durga

!access log extern proc 0

Subject 5:
transfer: http://www.ilovebees.com/outbound/transfer.wav
Lieutenant: Sir? These are transfer orders?
Herzog: Yes. Initial that you've seen them, would you?
Lieutenant: I don't understand, sir.
Herzog: (cranky) What's not to understand?
Lieutenant: But, is there--
Herzog: A diplomatic post in New Mombasa. Good for your career. That is all.
(Lieutenant remains)
Herzog: What are you waiting for?
Lieutenant: Did I... Have I been... I know that I didn't always--
Herzog: No, no, I gave you a good eval. (cranky) Can't find'em hungry
anymore, not like when I was coming up.
Lieutenant: I'm sorry if I wasn't up to standards.
Herzog: Fine, fine. You're dismissed.
Lieutenant: You're covering something. The cranky old man bit...
Herzog: Not at all, soldier. Routine transfer.

moles: http://www.ilovebees.com/outbound/moles.wav
Herzog: It's a good posting - diplomatic. It'll do more for your
career than this one would.
Lieutenant: (thinks) You need someone in New Mombasa.
Herzog: You were dismissed, soldier.
Lieutenant: You've already approved my transfer, kinda late to reprimand me.
Herzog: This is just the Navy, transfers happen. I've got work to do.
Lieutenant: I don't think that you want me there to work. Not if I'm
officially attached to intel, that's too high profile. You like your
moles small and innocuous.
Herzog: I will remind you that that information is not for idle speculation.
Lieutenant: Well, maybe you've got a new protege. The girl at Chawla?
Herzog: No, Rani's going to stay where she is. Now I have work to do,
and you, I'm sure, need to make some arrangements.
Lieutenant: What are you up to?

you_alive: http://www.ilovebees.com/outbound/you_alive.wav
Herzog: I am up to my adam's apple in paperwork, and you owe me quite
a bit of it. Surveillance analysis on Callisto, since you mention it.
So, dismissed.
Lieutenant: You know, my mother is ill. I could request compassionate
dispensation to stay here, where I'm close to her.
Herzog: That's enough. I'll have you investigated for malingering if
you even try such a stunt. Do you hear me?
Lieutenant: So, you *want* me out of here?
Herzog: I have enjoyed working with you, young man, but I am not
sentimental, and don't think I won't eat you alive if you start
playing games with me.
Lieutenant: Sentimental? You're... you're protecting me from
something? Something political?
Herzog: Get out. I have work to do.
(Lieutenant leaves)

The reason I was no longer posting here was that I decided to take a backseat and enjoy since it seemed I couldn't give much to the game (I'm bad at puzzle solving). But I got a little hessitant with the transmission back to Durga of the files because it seemed nobody was getting it right (or maybe the PM's were taking their time) so I decided to do something myself and voila!

I'm happy now! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

EDIT: Checking back recipe3.html I realized that maybe the correct subject I should have used was "5.14.77" which may be the correct version number of the SPDR, PF or something.

Then the PM's gave me a hand accepting my wrong subject line. Embarassed

I just rechecked the fireflies wiki and found out that the fake version number the PF used to manipulate mellisa is 5.14.77.
