 		Ahhhh... I see. Just didn't correlate "opposite" and "reverse". They're kinda alike I guess.

The statement on the blog is "

The "easiest way" is to take what is "most obvious" and immediate in each piece, and determine how they fit together as a whole"

So a commonality?

It there a theme between each video or item or shape? Its probably much harder than that but I always over think these things.

I got to go shopping =(

Somethings take more than a gnat's worth of attention, maybe I should say it in reverse? or was that opposite? Rolling Eyes

 		Okay I'm being incredibly dense today, please explain why? PM if you wish.

EDIT: if that is what I think it is, it is somewhat of a stretch for a puzzle.

Yes, please explain, because I'm incredibly dense every day.

 		When I first watched these videos yesterday I was taking in every word, looking for patterns and trying to tie them together via commonality.

When I posted on the blog about a "Snapshot" DD stated "A video is more than just a moving picture, more senses than sight are involved" And also remember that I said to take in what's most obvious and *immediate*

Being still half club "head" and sleepy I just watched the videos without focusing on anything.

immediate reaction:

The first video states "this is a site you have ever witnessed",

The second video is pretty obviously bright orange, and the Dawn video is bombarded with orange.

I was thinking of witnessing a site and dawn came into mind ..etc..

..mind you this could be because my brain is mush and I am seeing vivid colors but that is what i got from it.

 		Lateral thinking to the nth degree I think, well done indeed! My hat is off. U should try the Janus Archive thread.

EDIT: The post still makes me think of Fight Club, looking from the outside in or the inside out?

 		POST4.doc
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Haven't slept since this whole thing started. Mind's getting blurry, emotions getting more intense. Modafinil, amphetamines, and caffeine get you a long way, but still not far enough. Starting to hallucinate. I need to trust the people around me more, at least enough to get a few hours of sleep. Still, it's hard when I think of what I'm up against.

Hah, what would the old Caretaker think if he saw me now? He'd probably scold me and send me to bed with a sedative, by force if necessary. Probably yell about me catching septicema or the bubonic plague or something. Daft old bastard. He'd probably yell at me for opposing Him too. Never did quite trust the old Caretaker.

You see, there's just something not quite right about Him. I've never been sure if it was supernatural, some sort of science experiment gone bad, or something... worse.

One time, in explosives training, three junior Agents were lost when a defective grenade detonated as soon as they removed the pin. Losing Agents in training is nothing new or shocking, but usually it's on a mission, or they assassinate each other while vying for position. A stupid mistake like this is almost unheard of.

And then He came along, and he already had three graves ready. With pre-engraved headstones. He was very young then, he hadn't done the service, he hadn't started his training.
The official explanation was that it was a lucky happenstance. The unofficial version that most everyone believed was that he arranged for the grenade to be there, and somehow manipulated things so it would kill those three people specifically.

But He had no motive. He didn't know those agents, He had no reason to want to get rid of them. And there's no way He could have ensured that they would pick up that specific grenade, it's just impossible. It's almost like He decided those three were disposable, suitable targets for him to test himself on. But how did He do it... Did He even do it?

Sometimes I catch Him talking to himself in private. Hardly unusual, not everyone gets through conditioning and training unharmed. But He doesn't have the right psychological profile for any mental disease that might cause that. In fact, His whole training seems to have gone entirely too well. When he's conditioned, He almost treats it like a game. Even though he bends to the behaviour, it's almost as if he's doing it because it amuses him, rather than because he'll be punished if he doesn't.

Worst of all is what happens when someone is potentially useful to Him. One day they'll just disappear for a little while. Never in a way that draws much attention. Maybe there will be a few extra days before they come back from a Mission, which everyone just assumes is the Agent lazing about before their next job. Maybe they'll be mysteriously sick for a couple of days and miss training.

… Maybe they'll drop from communications in the middle of an infiltration mission, but show up just when standard operating procedure dictates...

They come back changed. They'll still know all the necessary passwords and secrets, but they act just a little different. They sound like a badly made simulacrum of themselves, rather than their old self. They grow paranoid and jumpy, even beyond what is usual, and believe me it is very common. It seems like whenever He is around the shadows around Him silently whisper to these agents directing their every move. I swear that at the funeral service of our late Predecessor the wind picked up around Him and carried a foreign laugh as if mocking all those who were lost in grieving.

I think I hear that laughter now, buzzing just behind my monitor. Dammit, I need sleep

 		New blog post from yesterday http://lisdead.blogspot.com/2012/02/infiltrators-have-dropped-off.html

I don't know how to even find the password area for these .rar files so hopefully someone can open it and post that part of the story.

My best guess re the 3 photos is



Spoiler (Rollover to View):
light
