Holy Petrified Turd on a Log Batman..... COUNTDOWN!!!! Idea

I just posted this on ATS forum not 3 minutes ago! Surprised

Quote:
If you really "want" the information in my document just copy and paste the following into a word processing document.... I believe all the typos have been fixed now (FYI 1st lines after note is scrambled letters, missing letters & spaces, line after that is scrambled letters put back in proper order for spelling the words correctly)

Maybe I'm wrong and waisting my time but I feel there's another code in here.... (using scrambled/unscrambled letters) I've done alot of different things to no avail so far, but when I did insert the "scrambled line" (at bottom) into translator and started inserting spaces randomly throughout.... Italian popped up....

Just in the first few tries I got words like:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"a e n i posi er varo drani l" = "at position r and n i launch the drani"
But It does change slightly to drastically depending on where spaces are put


Wish I wasn't so busy today....

Personally, I feel like there is no code hidden in the scrambled letters, besides the missing letters spelling "FUTURE." The missing letters seem very deliberate and clearly spell out "FUTURE." But the scrambled letters seem random. It would be incredibly difficult (read: nearly impossible) to hide code in there, especially because the message does not seem to have been created for the purpose of the code. It reads very naturally. If they had wanted to hide a code, it would seem more contrived. Of course, if it were encrypted text, it could still be code, the key would probably just be nonsense. But I feel like that doesn't really fit in with how the rest of this has been going.

41 more minutes on the countdown! Woo!

Except... "safenet" was one of the Youtube tags, and SafeNet, Inc, is, according to Wikipedia, one of the largest suppliers of encryption to the US government. Also, they're based in Belcamp, MD. And Google auto-completes "meredith medical center" (from the ultrasound image) to "meredith medical center hagerstown md" when I'm typing it in Shocked

I think maybe the thumb drive that Alex received in the security footage in the video may be encrypted. Wonder if it will be part of a later drop?

And countdown to zero resulted in nothing as of yet...

The timer runs out at 5pm your local time so for example mine still has 90 minutes to go.

Oh, that makes sense. So assuming its all in Chicago time, we've got 20 more minutes.

Meanwhile, as I mentioned on the in-game forums, seetheworld.com has updated with "38351248" on the left hand bar, which leads to http://vimeo.com/38351248, so the site is definitely in-game.

Nice finds on both those FB profiles! And there's another older FB code:
W335Y3294OE solve
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Another keyboard shift, one down to the right is: SEETHEWORLD


pure speculation:
af.seekingSPLATgmail.com is Alex Felts email --> "af" is Alex Felts.
in the scan of the fetus from the secure page is the name(!?) ESTRR FELTS. If this is a name it might be the "ef" we are searching for and might be Alex's mother. On the other side "ESTRR" is not a really a name.

New file up on whatisstork.com. Its a sound file. There are 3 sections, the first and the third are groups of short and long beeps. I assume its morse code. Here's what I hear:
Quote:
1st section: ..--- ..... .---- -.... .---- ....- .---- ..... .---- ----. ....- ..---

2nd section: ..--- ..--- ..--- ..--- ----- .---- -.... ..... .---- ---..


I think that decodes to:
Quote:
First section: 251614151942

Second section: 2222016518


Thoughts? There's also the bit in the middle with someone (Presumably Alex) talking. I don't really hear any clues, more backstory.

2222016018


EDIT: After listening again, I think FuzzyGoodle is right.

I threw the sound file into Audacity (hey, version 2.0 got released!) and based on the pulse length I got the numbers that FuzzyGoodle got. Not sure what to make of the numbers yet.

Quote:

My hearts racing, don't know where to go, what to do, I need *****, I need to get my ticket, get to the airport, but I cant, the airport will be swarming with their goons, alright r**** it's February 9th, 2012, I think its around midnight, but I cant find my watch, they they they stolen my watch, they'll find me, I know they're tracking my emails, they're stealing my notes, I see the dark blue vans, I I I see them every where I go, I need to warn patient zero, safenet is evil, the corporate parasites are going to take the gift of life I created and turn it into a disgusting thing, they don't care about people, they only care about profits, the greed, i'll destroy them, all of the research, I'll hide it, They need to be exposed for what they are...
