Johnny Deuces is updated.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
He's pawned the gun. The pawn shop , "Fazio Collateral Loan," has a phone number. Call it, and get the guy's first name, Toller. New card. Good job, WanderingAngela (a.k.a. "Faster Than Me")!


Oh, Tony's updated, too. His last one, I'm guessing.

Well it definitely isn't Polish in spelling/written. Maybe some phonetics are involved

I found Ugrinoj on some lithuanian pages. But I don't have any way to know if I'm even pulling the word out of the stream right.

Using Russian Morse Code I got:

Code:

. .- .--- --- .-. ..- -. -.- .-- -.. ..-- --. .-. .. -. --- .---
M a  й    o   p   у   H  K   B   Д   Ю    г   p   и  н  o   й

.... ..-. .- --- .. ... - .- -- .. -.-. . -. -. --- ... - .-.- .... - ---.

The thing that really makes me think it's Russian is "NKVD" (HKBД), CCCP (Russian for "USSR"), and the "V" (B) in Svetlana, in English Morse .-- is W.

It took way longer than it should've, basically I used this page for the Russian Morse, this page for the English letter equivalents, and the Wikipedia page for the unicode characters. I totally messed up the capitalization, and I really have no idea where some of the word breaks are. Or if it's even Russian. Oh and I'm sure there's like dozens of mistakes in there too. Yanka?

According to my fluent-in-Russian mom, who is awesome:

Quote:
To Major of NKVD Svetlana Yugrina STOP
I have, unknown to our allies, information about [some place - CENNOSTÄH? My mom says it sounds like a station] that was captured by fascists STOP
I offer it to Russia STOP
I am in Nuremburg in Metropole STOP


[edit] to get the name right

That's it. I'm trading my mother for a Phaedra/Omnie model! Mine only speaks Tagalog, and I *seriously* doubt that's going to make it's way into an ARG...Wink

A lot more stuff has been added to all the 1945 pages. Including a radio broadcast (that I can't get at work).

William Reed (OSS) asking Johnnie to help him steal a train (and keep the Russian guards out), "Martin" drawing pictures at Otto's bar. Johnnie has a girl back home, how he got the gun and "Never take the gun to a poker game, someone always dies".

SvetlanaYugrina - Yay Ariock

888-332-7905 Fazio Collateral Loan from Johnny Deuces page
Doesn't _appear_ to be anything but a answering machine message

Trout myself - Shado mentioned it previously - it is how Toller Fazio's first name was found

This is a translation of the letter on Svetlana's page, courtesy of Sin_Vraal and his buddy.
Quote:

Comrade Colonel!

After receiving information from a loyal communist in the American sector, I am leaving for Nuremburg to personally track the train and passengers that are going to the Soviet sector. My informant has proof that there is a capitalist plan to insert their operatives in our occupied territories to commit espionage and sabotage. Because this investigation could take up to several weeks, please postpone my retirement from the NKVB until December 1st.

Sincerely,
Major Svetlana Yurgina
