Probably a PM oversight, but I just noticed that the .DOC file has "Perplex City" as part of the path stored in the file.

We originally thought this was part of the cube hunt, so it may be from that, or it could be we were right!

Something we may have overlooked - not quite sure if this is OOG or not.
The camouflaged document has
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Richard Stokes
as the person who last saved it. Is he one of "them" or just a PM?
Also, what do people make of the new picture on http://profiles.yahoo.com/composer_a ?
I've tried uncamouflaging it but no luck there.

yeah I'd had a go at it too, also with another steg tool but no joy. I suspect it is just a standard icon, I'm sure I've seen it before.
I wonder if that name is the one Jared is looking for?

I sent Jared the name on the document, this is his reply:
Quote:
I don't believe thats of any use. I think its a name stored on the computer. He could be one of them but does it really matter what their names are?
I have tried many username combinations with LISBON as the password. I'm beginning to think maybe its the wrong password. I'm sure its right but there is no trace of any username here at all...
Looks like it's up to us to find the username.

Yahoo profile has just been updated - everything has been removed and the online diary has been replaced with a trailer:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.geocities.com/composer_a/
The morse says:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
17.02.06
There is also the code:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TINGA SIEBA NIG
The invisio webdings code at the bootm says:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
AIM CHAT : PROJECT RENATA
Looks like that's probably it then.

A bit unexpected end there, but well done all ... although it does say its only the end of the beginning...

I emailed him and asked him to try D784 as the username.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

gives us

Good work TP, I'm guessing now the next bit is to be done at 20:00 on the 17th Feb?
I'm a bit confused about the "ending" on the geocities page now though..

Perhaps the end of the chapter? Doesnt sound like we can do much until the "specified date" and if we break the last security thing we're going to gain contact with this place by the sounds of it.
Perhaps this has all been an intro?

Has anyone tried (blank) emailing the two email addresses to see if there are any auto-responders?

The geocity site has changed, and the source contains this nugget:
Quote:
The wait will not be long. We will break the third lock. It opens soon. You know where and when to meet. The police could not break my code. You are my only hope.>
Just tried the blank emails and no reponse yet.

So we're out of game now???
I don't understand this at all. The story, i mean. The trailer doesn't give much away either.

Yeah got a bit confused too, I think we now basically wait until the 17th, but what we are supposed to do at 20:00 I've no idea...
there's maybe more info in War & Peace...

One was yours (ours). which we did.
Two was his. which he's done.
Three is ours apparently. Like ours and his.
We got the date from the string 17/02/2006 and the time 20.00 from the site. But the place to meet him? It must be an online meet if he's captured. Maybe the chatroom on the trailer?
I'm more concerned about the aura : 100%, armed security : 100%. Just what has Jared got himself into? lol
