The fuck... none of those files said anything about birds.

Edit--It's a bunch of pices of a single image. Working on them now.

Hey, at least we're in - all it took was a bit of photoshoppery and a convincing enough message claiming that I was the holder of a masters' degree in Computational Linguistics from Cambridge...

Oh yeah, and apparently I work for FAILTECH now.

Nice work, godofchicken! I hope we only need one of us in there, I'm not sure how many times we can BS the hiring process. XD

Nothing much has come of my email. I sent a message to the investments address, posing as a private consumer, and all I found out was that that particular address only handles business investments and their website would normally take my "order." I apparently got CC'ed to a customer order address, so we'll see what happens from that. At the very least we'll be able to see the separate sides of business investments and how they handle customer orders. May be irrelevant, but who knows.

Please, guys - call me GoC! Anyway, I'm just glad someone here has the tech knowledge to unlock these audio files - I'm more a 'people scientist' (and my actual masters is in 'normal' linguistics!)

I think the point of that "level" (I'm calling that because the PMs are clearly using the access levels to segment the game) was to sweet-talk our way into getting the codes (and the trust of the company). In this case, we accomplished it through GoC (as he now would like to be called).

Having a huge problem reading these images... looks like a "Roses are Red..." poem.

This poem is insane to make out. Insane. I've tried redoing the signal images, but they don't come out any better.

I got this in fragments:


Roses are...
Violets are blue...
The rain tells trees (to) tower the sky
And the sun rises before noon

The...
No wizard...
Dorothy...


I'm about to upload my work.

punxtr, most of what you got seems to overlap with my interpretation :

Code:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
The rain (falls?) from the sky
(..?) the sun rises (in the?) (east?)
The (g....?)
No wizard (is........?)
Dorothy (....)
The Oz

If LAINSY needs to be rebooted and there is no manual way to
reboot her, send her this poem and she will read it and starte her
reboot process. Please note that she has to receive the email and
read it so that a reboot process will initiate


I have been googling around a bit in hopes of finding a clue based on this, but so far no luck

So I guess that means that interpreting that poem text just became our #1 priority!

Then if so we'll have to reach L10 to be able to even talk to her since she autmoatically discards any email's sent to her. (For the moment)

No, we have to email her. She doesn't discard emails anymore.

Maybe we can free the others at this stage, and the rest will be about finding out what has infected LAINSY?
