and ask if you have tried the simple thing for that last string:

PRO-CHNOPS-24.10.2
or do you think there is something beyond that?

(i'm not saying any of these imput phrases make *sense* as a passphrase, i'm just using what i found in the source code)

Well both of those were passphrases so nice find in the source code. How did you manage to find those in the SC anyway?

Oh I got them all hours ago hon =) I was trying to be coy and help others Wink

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ALPHA= FLOWER DRUM
B#CKW#RDS#LPH#= 19 18 20 19 15 12 4 = HIGH LOW
BACKWARDS= NAT DIPAR

MISSING EVENT=FEARLESS JOHNNY="The one not listed on pictures"
HER NERVE AGENT= SARIN---sari "her" nerve agent
LOCATION= PRO-CHNOPS-24.10.2- "look up" above her head.



was just wondering if pro-chnops-24.10.2 lead anywhere else... but that all was enough brain stunting for one day

Here's a brief synopsis of what I did, a lesson for future ARG-busters:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
starting with www.trilontesting.com/Evaluation.html
viewing source showed me the input text box, but no form, so I then looked for how that worked. In the head section, there are 3 javascript files; I opened scripts/trilon.js for a closer look, where I found the function to handle the hiddeninput object. The text you type is compared to text stored in another location, specifically a fake image file trilon.gif

It took some round-about fetching to get that file, but opening it in Notepad revealed the passphrases separated by commas. When I first did all this, those passphrases had typos which would have made it even harder to guess them. I was torn about how much to spoil the game by giving you all the answers right away, and was glad to see that the file was updated and the typos were fixed as the game gave you hints to proceed.

Lastly, the javascript also has the code which forces you to enter the passphrases in sequence in a single session. This was so annoying to me that I went ahead and spoiled that 'treat', assuming that there was no in-game reason why you wouldn't want to simply try passphrases individually.


btw, there are no more passphrases that i can see.

 		Ah ok I got most of what you did but I dont know much about javascript so when I opened the trilon.js file I saw that trilon.gif but didnt know to try seeing if I could get that file. I just now tried going to www.trilontesting.com/trilon.gif saved the file and opened it in notepad and sure enough its all there.

Thanks for the lesson

 		 Here is the full text
So here is the text in full:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

8/14 - #17 (65)
Doctors have already started to move out to continue off-site testing. Whether we find the exact concentrated amount for humans rests on the next few experiences. OSHA has yet to approve of a permissible exposure concentration for the nerve agent but I know we can find it. We all know how much money is involved if we do.

Flower Drum V will re-engage within two weeks. The water washdown system will be the protective decontaminant measure against simulated agents, similar to before. Perhaps we will find the golden amount this time.
The volunteers have already been selected, Sari informs me, although initial patients have already begun experimentation with Whistle Down before my arrival.

I still struggle with informing Cass to my whereabouts. The more curious she becomes, the more I feel as if she already knows. I'm not sure how she's handling the distance, but only time will tell.

8/30 - #20
The six I have been directly involved with are proceeding with minimal concerns. Contact with the patients is minor, which is nice. Never enjoyed that part. Nobody does.

Max swore on the company's history that government agents will be all over us once our hypothesized agent results are solidified. More money for him, I guess. He really is a merchant of death.

Told Cassandra my whereabouts... hasn't responded. Assuming it's the shock. Hoping she'll come around.

9/19 - #24 -2
Rapid Tan was more successful than originally hypothesized, so our accounts have been expanded to additional research.

Elk Hunt VII has also been prosperous. Nausea, blistering, and seizures have transformed into chronic symptoms, so progression entails ignoring these two symptoms. Blistering, however, only remains during exposure to the agent.

Shelton arrived on site to congratulate and commend us for our work. I'm sure he wouldn't have arrived if the past three major client tests didn't progress as well as we expected. Odd, though, how he didn't talk to the patients.

10/01 - #65 (17)
Cass was supposed to arrive weeks ago. Still haven't heard since I told her about the project. Whistle Down and Elk Hunt ended yesterday. Patients' have been completely expended. Testing postponed indefinitely.

11/11 - #43
Three have already experienced permanent respiratory failure quicker than expected.. Supplementary respiratory equipment keeps vital organs testing possible. Use of other nerve agents may also gain progress towards accessing more answers.

Moving onto amputated limbs of survivors to test stronger doses and after effects. Support vessel results show Fearless Johnny VI's main hypothesis is null. Additional testing regarding aerial sprays would be necessary. Two light tugs provided a capability to transfer test.

The opprotunity remains to extend Johnny to another round of testing, but chances are slim. Cass was supposed to arrive weeks ago.

12/23 - #50
My communications to Cassandra have been
accessed by Sari first? I don't understand. Cass' work line
is still down. That would explain why my calls haven't gone through. Or has Cass been lying to me about something.

Sari was good friends with her, but has she been leaking information to Cass? There must be an alternative to this situation. Although she hasn't left my mind since I called. Was she really that against this project?

I guess confronting Sari about this would be my best bet.

2/26 - #66
She was right. These people don't need to die. To suffer. Neither did she.

They never told me. They kept it from me. They all knew.

You would think in this age, when technology allows us to transcend barbaric means of human experimentation. I was blind. Why did I not realize she was in Elk Hunt.

"Since the 1980s, around 20 U.S. research projects have won legal waivers allowing them to bypass any form of consent. From 1990 until 2005, for example, the Department of Defense obtained a waiver that allowed it to force 8.9 million ground troops to accept inoculation with experimental anthrax vaccines."

But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of the US, one by one[/size].



So is it just us 4 left playing? Some of you in lurk mode? Wink




PRO-CHNOPS-24.10.2 < does this mean anything? Location? This bothers me...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"She was right. These people don't need to die. To suffer. Neither did she."....Sari? Cass? did I miss something?






Is this ARG .. R.I.P. ..?..or am I Confused ....oh well... Drool .. jane gives herself a ... Brownie .. and goes to Bang Head on the desk.

Seems like a lot of time and effort on this game for them to just.. leave ..dead Rolling Eyes

 		Grats on figuring that all out. I'm still rather new to the real digging through and decoding things.

 		I'm still lurking. I don't think even half of the original contacts are involved anymore. Slow game = people find something faster paced and FUN. Sorry PM.

 		Where did this go?
I've been looking at the websites related every once in a while and I haven't noticed anything new.

Does anyone know what happened?
