 		We have an update at Johnny's blog:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
8/3/06 (update)
Ive just recieved this messege:

Efbs Bmqib ufbn, upnnpspx zpv xjmm sfqpsu up uif dpnqboz bjsgjfme bu 6 BN tibsq up cf gmpxo pgg mpdbujpo gps tfwfsbm gjfme uftut

Cftu sfhbset,

Tzodps.


also in this messege i intercepted a file sent by caroline, i presume.

still no sign of Jeremy.
8/3/06 (update)
Just another happy day working here at syncor, nothing out of the ordinary, Jeremy must be on sick live, poor guy.

image.jpg

I've managed to come back and update again today, there is less of a watchfull eye on me now as was earlier, To give a short breakdown of whats happening, this $75 billion company has been using us like lab rats, testing their "medicine" on us for a long time, I can barely remember a day when i wasnt "at work."

how ever, putting all of that aside, something has been more out of place than usual, as you know me, I am johnathan Luque, and In my messeges that I've been able to transmit via this server I hope you picked up that there are more of us, As you have found my blog and can nw be updated as to my situation, there are others like my self who are in far more grave danger; one Jeremy Willard has been missing for 3 days now, after saying good bye to and preparing to go home i noticed he was acting strangly, he had been interrogated that day, just as I had been. He wouldn't stop to talk long but i could tell something was wrong with him, you must locate his blog, I will try to help you as much as possible.

The message decodes to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Dear Alpha team, tommorow you will report to the company airfield at 6 AM sharp to be flown off location for several field tests
Best regards, Syncor."
(Using ROT-25)

 		More from that blog post of Johnny L's (series of spoilers ahead - try it yourself, and if you get stuck, check one spoiler at a time):
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The post refers to image.jpg. Checking out image.jpg turns up a file which, upon opening, turns out to be binary.

We can deal with that the way we did before.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The binary decodes to: y e j h j . o f u / T z o D p s / q o f c z w b s
This is ROT-25 again, leading to: http://xdigi.net/SynCor/pnebyvar.

What is this we just found?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The first three letters give it away: it's a RAR file. Un-RARing the file (which is similar to a ZIP file) leads us to a file named "bmdfuoxqe" (ROT-14 for "particles").

The content of the file?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Wrerzl xabjf gbb zhpu, V unir gb ghea uvz va.", which is ROT-13 for "Jeremy knows too much, I have to turn him in."

Poor Jeremy!

I was looking at the picture from the 'understanding' page, and I'm 99% percent sure that instead of the person laying facedown that I first thought it to be, that it is someone climbing over a fence, and the bright spots on the right side are spotlights.


ETA: I just got to quickly talk with Luque.

Me: Hello.
sync0rswim: I dont know who this is...

 		Guys, there's no need to go around everybody with the answers of how you did it. We work as a team, so feel free to post how you got the answers (preferably in spoilers)

Morning after edit: I was reffering to MapMaker. I realize that you did explain it. But just for the record, if somebody doesn't understand, I doubt anybody would mind if you posted it on the forum
