 		Anyone getting anywhere? Not me. I took the text from the braille in the last video and ran it through a ROT; got gibberish. The audio file is totally garbled. The only "solutions" we have go nowhere new.

 		I've been working on the audio file (Prewar Forceps). A friend runs a recording studio and found time to mess about with the file.
It's still pretty hard to make out, but based on the earlier audio files I was able to come up with this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This transmission is clear.
Re-broadcast allowed. 3,2,1.
Subject (?) has contact.
Subject 7 has contact.
(???????????).
(??????) WCS.
End transmission.


I can't believe the time I spent on this.

(BTW, how do I share this audio file with the forum?)

On the "Post a Reply" page, in the left-hand column labeled "Options", you should see an "Add an Attachment" link. Upload the file there.

 		Worst Case Scenario?
Going through what ModalRealism wrote I see that the letters "WCS" are in the title of the audio file "PrewarForceps". So far the titles have been anagrams of the solution to unlocking the next video.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Running "PrewarForceps" through an anagram generator, with WCS being included in the solution, the first result is "WCS Prepare For". The voice in the audio says "(garble garble) WCS". I think I can hear "Prepare for WCS" in MR's filtered audio.


Can anyone else hear this?

 		Makes sense to me. I think there is something wrong with the next puzzle folder, ChanceTheories. If you try to unlock it, you get an Internal Server Error instead of Authorization Required. I was going to try "worst case scenario" or other forms of that anagram, but it looks like the page is messed up.

 		I see that too. Maybe the PMs will take notice.

 		Ok, so let's assume that this puzzle is following the same pattern as the others.

So far the passwords have been:
Quote:
asforJimbooze
watchedhimlose
Jabronifailed
Jackprevailed
MickeyFinnwho


They are all 13 characters long, except the 2nd one which was 14. They all came from clues in the video or images, not the audio files (I don't think). No clues have come from the blog posts. The 3 fewer thing seems like a separate puzzle so I would rule that out too.

So, to me this suggests that the next password will come from:
Quote:

Charles Cullen (serial killing nurse)
Needle/Syringe
Whatever that image is in the corner of the comedian's video clip
Braille message (gky jqj??)


The wiki page for Charles Cullen mentions that he had syringes at one point when trying to kill someone, and it sounds like he probably injected a lot of his victims since he was overdosing them.

So, could the next password be a continuation of the last? Mickey Finn who injected you, or something like that? It seems like the password will rhyme with "Mickey Finn who."

Sorry, lots of rambling here. Confused

Edit: Correction... I forgot that part of the jimbooze answer did come from the audio. Also, the Chance theories page has been fixed.

 		Jabroni, I think Modal already solved "the 3 fewer thing" if you mean the text file called "fwefer3.txt".

I took a look at the braille text from the video (gky jqj _ _). One of the ROT solutions is "quitat" which could be "quit at". So maybe we need to find when (or where) MickeyFinn quit? Not really sure what would rhyme with "who".

Yes, sorry I just meant that I didn't think those images would be related to this puzzle.

You saying that rot solution got me thinking. If it is MickeyFinn quit at... then they were probably a player. So I looked up the username and sure enough they were posting on the original BG thread back in 2006/2007:

Here is her final post:

 		she quit at a specific clue
Mickyfinn quit at a clue? i have no idea how you guys do half the stuff I kinda just wait for answers then listen,


Also strange that these latest posts we are reading are brail, and she quit at a morse code clue... sound vs touch

 		Yes, that's a good point. Clue makes sense. It was one of the most difficult puzzles of the game. She quit during the clue that was supposed to lead to blood.redirectme.net.

It was an audio file that was played if you called a phone number. The audio file played morse code which decoded to:

Quote:

Service horrible. Redirected twice. First rep sounded like mud, but redder.


These type of puzzles are difficult because you just keep guessing random passwords.

 		Ok again, i apologize for not being very much help, heck i haven't even seen the last video because I dont know how (i was waiting for it to be posted on the facebook)

anyway we are looking for a word that possibly rhymes with an oo sound.

Looks like mickyfinns last point on Unforum was for a game called the side of truth, and one of her posts even said "I am on the side of truth" truth has that sound... this may be a long shot, but maybe the password is mickyfinnquitatTRUTH?

it is a long shot, but let me know, since im useless

 		I messed with the audio file trying to hear the unknown part. I'm betting it is part of the password answer.

Quote:

This transmission is clear.
Re-broadcast allowed. 3,2,1.
Subject 9 has contact.
Subject 7? has contact.
(???????????).
prepare for WCS.
End transmission.


I isolated the part of the audio above that is all question marks. Can anyone understand what they are saying? I can't make sense of it.
unknown-audio-portion.wav
 Description   had to re-upload the file, sorry
 Filesize   1020.28KB

Unfortunately, this file is no longer in our archives.
