 		Since they want you to solve the roman numerals code so fast, ill poke my head in on this one to make a suggestion. Has anyone been able to get an exact copy of the message in its text form. The reason why i ask is because people used to hide sound files and picture files in text that were only retreivable by copying the txt into notebook and then saving the file as an audio or picture file. I have done some googling for files that include the information that we see here and havent seen anything yet, but it still might be worth a try.

i emailed to ask for a copy in text format as i had suspected there was something hidden, but they ignored my twitter request and as far as im aware no one else has a copy . Because they didnt distribue the email to anyone except post a twitter pic i just assumed there wasnt anything more I got the numbers from it , which i thought might have been a time and date but subsequent google searches have shown nothing

ive emailed back too asking if david has her, me and the bf are working on the morse code we have managed to get a word so far but we are struggling on the static bit, can anyone clean this up for us ?

I spent a little time passing this through some low and high pass filters and then boosting just 560hz to get the attached file. It appears that the heavy static messed up the audio too much but here is what I could get:

 		While searching for roman numerals and symbolism, I did find that the straight lines also equal numbers. So don't forget to include those. I'm at work so I can only make suggestions atm.

Edit: also, i dont know if what line they are matters or not, as well as how many lines there are, but might as well look into that well.

im guessing they are not going to take this one any further, the too late, and the message delivery failure suggests that they might have shut it down,

I didnt feel like it was getting anywhere, without an actual copy to cut and paste the text from the roman numerals there was nothing that i could really work with

maybe they are gonna stop it now? I dunno, i hope they continue it perhaps just give us a little more next time x

as far as i know they are still missing, but we have no email address to send anything too, and the band wont reply to their twitter. unless we can use the roman numerals to find a new email address ?
