[SOLVED] [NOV 28] Johannesburg - Archimedes

Right, we are not even done, yet. There's more on Johannesburg index page.
The "no additional information available" link was changed to "no additional information provided" and replaced by another one, leading to archimedes.html

There's a distorted pic called satimg.jpg and this:

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.

-Archimedes

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

View the picture in a text editor and you see dots, dashes and crosses at the end. Another morse code (I added inverted commas):
DEAR NAME OMITTED,
FEBRUARY HAS COME AND GONE, AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU SINCE THE HOLIDAYS.I KNOW THAT YOU MUST BE BUSY WITH YOUR RESEARCH AT VAPOR,THAT THERE MUST BE SO LITTLE TIME TO WRITE, AND THAT SECURITY MUST BE PRETTY STRICT ABOUT WHO YOU WRITE LETTERS TO IN YOUR SPARETIME BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THAT LEFT FOR ME..I'M WRITING TO TELL YOU THAT IT'S BEEN SO LONG, THESE PAST FEW MONTHS, AND IT'S ALWAYS SO DARK AND COLD. I GUESS THERE'S NO EASY WAY TO SAY IT APART FROM JUST SAYING IT: I'VE MET SOMEONE. HIS NAME IS FRANKLIN, AND HE'S A VERY WONDERFUL MAN. WE'VE SEEN EACH OTHER A FEW TIMES NOW, AND I BELIEVE THAT IM READY TO TAKE IT TO A DEEPER LEVEL WITH HIM. I FEEL LIKE I CAN REALLY CONNECT WITH HIM IN A WAY THAT I'VE BEEN LONGING FOR. LIKE I SAID, THE NIGHTS ARE LONG, IT'S COLD HERE. I'M LONELY, ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE. MOTHER SENDS HER REGARDS. SAY HELLO TO YOUR FRIEND...WHAT WAS HIS NAME. NINE. I HOPE THAT THIS LETTER FINDS YOU WELL. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO SAY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU'LL EVER READ IT.
-CLAUDIA

We have to assume she is talking to her boyfriend/fianc�e, right? I found it strange that she says "Mother sends her regards." as I would think you say "mother" instead of "my/your mother" if she is the mother of the both of you. But perhaps his mother just isn't alive any more and it's perfectly clear who "mother" is.
So she's in love with Mr Paris (I assume this one is from the present?)...and she feels bad about telling "him". Whoever he is. Now we have her name and it should provide as a wedge into the other correspondence letters.

More stuff

Also in satimg.jpg is the text:

Inside this file is the text:

There is a general sense of dread within the confines of the research department, as murmured rumors circulate, as suspicion rises. "The fire keepers must be stopped", but who are they, really? What do they want with the researchers? The scientists wonder: Are we in danger? Has the company been infiltrated by these terrorists already?
