[UPDATE] November 28

Who cares if it is early (in the EST, that is). There be updates!

First, going to Paris's directory, we see that there has been a fifth logged conversation, this time in code. (Discuss it here.)

Scrolling down, we see that there is a new MP3 leaked, along with the phrases, "ashes to ashes", "dust to dust", and "non omnia mortar" (Latin for "not all of me will die").

Let's mosey over to the security page, shall we, to see if they have anything to say about these leaks. They do!

Well, sort of. We find yet another leaked MP3. Highlighting/looking in the source, we see that the Crack Security Team at VaporLofts is on the case of these leaks - conveniently documented for us.

There we see what the CST@VL has come up with:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Security Division has intercepted and transcribed the following relevant handwritten communications between a company research agent and an unknown outside source (believed to be of romantic interest to the agent, although possibly related by blood: records indicate, as with all agents via prescreening procedures, that the agent has no direct family relations and has been monitored periodically to establish maintenance of avoidance of romantic relationships). It is believed that the following communication was merely a personal correspondence between the research agent and the additional party, nonetheless, violation of protocols essential to maintaining the current required security level have taken place, and proper performance reviews and necessary seizures of control are in order.

Plus, we get three of these communications to boot! In, um, code. (Discussion of these codes is here).

What other revelations wait in store for us?

Edit (16:15 EST): Revelations in Johannesburg, apparently. We've got a quote from Archimedes and a map of the earth with some hidden information in it. Which leads to yet another MP3.

Also, bottom of security.html has code:

I actually think that's the code that was solved here. It was the Gibberish Cipher, I believe.
