The image for the SSTV was this:

Edit: And Unforum and Photobucket will not deal with the photo. You guys will just have to trust me.

Which gives you the PIN for the 45460 slot:

2273


All it says for the moment is to wait for further instructions to be uploaded into the slot.


Edit: Yeah not sure if I'm getting this morse right. So far I've gotten:

Someone else will probably want to get on board with it.

Wow nice job cherrytree! I'm just going to add the SSTV image that you found the PIN code from. Nice eye!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's blurry but you can make out the number 22 on the door and the number 73 near the ceiling.
The letters on the door, do they spell out anything? It's pretty blurry to me.

Just started decoding the Morse but so far I've got the same letters except for that last one -- instead of U I hear 2? As far as the message goes, nothing jumps out at me yet. Anyway I will have work on the rest of the Morse later.

Morse from agenttrans.mp3

This is a long one and hopefully doesn't break the screen layout too much...

I only left the single natural break in there after 2A that was in the original message since I wasn't sure if it would be relevant. It's too late for me to figure out what it means though.

Hey this is pretty cool, I sent the hallway image to LAINSY and asked if it recognized anything. LAINSY's reply:

Not sure if I missed this detail or if they added this from the last time I saw the site...

http://www.failtechnologies.com/ still has the same video loop thing, but after a couple of loops there is a red text that shows up very very quickly that I can't manage to get a screenshot. I think there's also another in black text, but it's fairly quick, so if anyone has the skill maybe you could help out and get a screen...

EDIT: They're a bunch of numbers that seems like hex...

EDIT: Never mind, while snooping around the source of the page, I found the config file for the flash... it's at http://www.failtechnologies.com/xml/config.xml

and then near the end you'll see the list of videos they use...

there's http://www.failtechnologies.com/video/bgvidmainta.flv, http://www.failtechnologies.com/video/bgvidmainte.flv, and http://www.failtechnologies.com/video/bgvidmainti.flv

I'll leave the rest to you guys!

So it looks like both of the hidden text are the same (though the black is SO much easier to read)

The text reads:

Decoded it is:

Still working on that last part though.

Also I've been looking into the J. Espina email (Didn't know if anyone else was). I've made initial contact, but I'm trying to proceed carefully (As I always seem to cause very bad things in this ARG. lol)

One interesting fact though that I got from Nathan:

Quote:
J. Espina or Joshua Espina is a Security Officer I at our Hawaii Facility. He worked for us for about 4 months before the incident. He seemed to be fairly cautious person, and untrusting, making him fairly fit for the position. Additionally, he has a fine background in the field. His resume included some references from FAILTECH and a short lived job experience with FAILTECH in the 90s. I assume that detail is helpful?

That sounds interesting. What the hell happened to the ship that hit them? Did that leave too? It's not in the logs above.

If 250 800 2669 is a number, it is to British Columbia. Not sure if call. Razz

The number is safe. It's the Nox Ordo System. Says to retrieve your objective enter your six digit access code.

Also Mr. Espina is starting to look more suspicous. Here's to hoping I can gain his trust.

Okay, I finally managed to use an NFC reader.

My card told me I have slot 04949. I went to the link, and logged in using "require:arctechone" as ID and Password. It brought me to a page with "04949 true private 777"--I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else.

I called +16197223245, and entered my new five-digit slot number. It told me the bit about the Hex and Roman numerals, so I determined my password to be "ii". I decoded the agent transmission myself just for kicks, and got the same information--2273. I used the PIN, and now I'm awaiting further instructions. Now that my technological handicap is out of the way, I feel a lot more caught up with this ARG.

However, I don't know enough about Nox Ordo, and many of the contacts in the last three to six months at all. I see Nox Ordo desires a six-digit number, which perhaps I missed out on by not infiltrating (?) it earlier, or by interacting with it in any way.

Basically, it's good to be back!

Hey guys!

So I managed to reach Dan, and he told me about this intercepting a message in Toronto, since I live close the area.

We've managed to arrange a time and day, it was yesterday (Friday) afternoon. So I met up with a guy, who declined to be named or to be taken a picture of. He gave me a floppy. Above all things, some ancient storage technology.

Anyhow, I called a few friends and fortunately there was one who still has a working floppy drive.

There was only one file inside and is attached.

There's a coded message that I have no clue to decode. I assume the way to decrypt it is on the other things that popped up yesterday as well.

Time for me to sleep guys! I just got home from going around places.

EDIT: Welcome back punxtr! Glad to see you around again! Hopefully things get back on pace around here.

So I'm going to call foul play on my part so I hope someone can hopefully put this puzzle to rest.

I figured that the "Final Act. Second Chapter" referred to a book cipher with the numbers below. Sadly there are a ton of books with the name "The Final Act", but when I viewed the text I noticed quite a few repeating patterns which usually means the key is small compared to the text.

So I went to rumkin. Since "hui" repeates itself a few times that made me suspect it might be a "the" or "and". Putting the first on as "the" cracks the whole thing.

Key:

So just to bring this to everyone's attention.

I got a set of questions from Espina in response to my email. Seems like he's testing me for information and to see if I'm lying.

There is one specific question that seems to be vague.

Does anyone remember any information about the "Mount Pearl Falcility"?

Dan says that he heard it from us and Genus, but a search over unforums proved fruitless on that count so I wanted to check in with you guys to see if you can give me any "description" about it.

I've also got in re-contact with Alex as he's still available. It's funny as he does know about the Mount Pearl Facility so I decided to push for info if noone can remember any info on it.

Okay so what's the question about the Mount Pearl Facility? Because I have come across it, but I don't know whether it's technically IG or not -- it's from the novel that the PM/Writer is publishing. A few players got advanced copies of the 1st part for reviewing/comments. If you've got one of these copies, it's mentioned in Chapter 9.

Basically Mount Pearl is a FAILTECH facility. In the book, I think Emily Rain worked there and that's where 45459/Jhuku was kept (the events in the book from what I understand are prior to when the facility was broken into and the Jhuku went on the run).

I don't know whether the Mount Pearl facility is actually at Mount Pearl or not -- being that FAILTECH has a big Canada presence, I wouldn't be surprised.
