The Composer & Renata Isle
by Jonathan Waite
Two weeks ago, selected members of the UnFiction message boards were sent mysterious emails from someone calling themselves "The Composer". The emails were quickly solved -- each email contained part of a coded message -- and the game was on. Over the course of eleven short days, players were led to a security site, interacted via Instant Messaging, and were introduced to the story of Renata Isle.

As it turns out, the mystery has been solved, for now. On an in-game site, players have learned that they were part of a pre-game activity for upcoming ARG "Renata Isle". The explanation promises bigger and better things to come on the "17th of the second," which is assumed to mean February 17th of this year. There is also a teaser page that provides some basic details for the upcoming game.

From reactions in the discussion thread, this pre-game was quite enjoyable to be a part of. We will check back in on this on the 17th and see what happens with "Renata Isle".

I thought I'd missed the end of the whole thing, it's nice the PM gave a mention to some of the players. 13 days to go till it all starts. I won't be missing it if I can help it.

I'm happy that that was only the pre-game, I wasn't paying as much attention as I ment to, I will try and stick with it once it starts though..

Is anyone having any luck figuring out what TINGO SIEBA NIG means? I've had no luck although with my next to non-existent experience with codes I didn't think I'd get far.

ThComposer was online and I missed him along with a couple of urgent emails from my tutor. Just shows what you miss when you're not paying attention and playing the sims, instead of finishing coursework that has to be in by the end of the month and filling out the passport application that's been sitting on your desk all week.....

Edit: IM

Mbrblog [21:30]: Hello, how have you been?
ThComposer [21:30]: Hello there.
ThComposer [21:31]: Not well. I fear for my sanity. But theres not much longer to wait.
Mbrblog [21:31]: You'll only have to hang 10 more days, then hopefully we can help you break the final lock and ave Evan.
Mbrblog [21:32]: Have you heard anything else about him?
ThComposer [21:32]: Noone has came in almost a week. Everyone has left. It is if the place has evacuated.
ThComposer [21:32]: But i cant leave. Not until we break the lock.
Mbrblog [21:32]: Do you have any idea where they've gone?
ThComposer [21:33]: .... something in the village. Those who saw us arrive. They are in danger.
Mbrblog [21:33]: There's something dangerous in the village? The eyes?
ThComposer [21:34]: The eyes. They are no longer here. But why? This is their home. I fear for the villagers.
ThComposer [21:34]: But i digress..
ThComposer [21:35]: I have been given the freedom to search the computers. If we can route the final satellite away from this place, you should be able to see what i can. Then i ask you, hand over to the authorities. I don't think you and your friends can save me alone.
Mbrblog [21:36]: We'll do everything we can to help you. Will you be able to route the last satellite away?
ThComposer [21:37]: it is our key. But it seems simple enough. I believe you will recieve the codes when the timelock opens. And i will be able to enter them here.. thats if they don't come back by then.
Mbrblog [21:38]: Why would the eyes have left if that place was there home?
ThComposer [21:38]: I do not know. Something is going wrong in the village. The people who saw us arrive. I pray Evan stayed away from that place.
Mbrblog [21:39]: If the eyes are gone what danger is there for the villagers that saw you arrive?
ThComposer [21:39]: they've gone.. toward the village.
ThComposer [21:40]: i believe this is a lab of sorts.. a complex.. the village is nearby. The village is by the beach. They saw us come to shore.
ThComposer [21:40]: This computer.. its not responding properly.. i think its that damned satellite.
Mbrblog [21:41]: A lab? I dread the answer but what are they using it for?
ThComposer signed off at 21:41

Well there seems to be some technical problems going on with the satellite. The eyes have mysteriously abandoned their base, a lab of some kind, and gone to the village, and everyone who saw Jared arrive is now in danger. No idea where Evan is now either.

Aside from the code it now seems to be a case of sitting back and waiting for the 17th to arrive.

according to the piccy in the argn article, thats TINGA SIEBA NIG.

[PatRol]

Did I miss this image in Jared's profile? Has it been mentioned before?

[travelling performer]

thats new.

serversecurity.tk has changed as well.

[audioslave]

Ok, is it just me or is the yahoo link not working?

[Metlagirl]

The yahoo link didn't work for me either.

I missed that new image too. Brings up a few more questions I suppose. Could well be a screenshot of a new site being revealed on the 17th.

Edit: The picture's file name is 3b28scd.jpg probably nothing but you never know.

Is that orange image on the left of the shot a burning building or is my eyesight getting even worse lately?
