Gah! Nothing in the Flash assets, that's for sure... There are files on that server we aren't seeing.

Anyone know anyone who works at Akamai?

Good deal...but since I'm useless on codebreaking, I went another direction: Missing Person.

If Noriko is missing, usual first place to start is immediate family. Only we don't know how to find them. So, backing up, I decided to look for her father, since she's missing and presumed dead and we have no last name for Ganu, and no name for cousin. A search of that - or any of the names provided - brings up an endless stream of UF and cloverfield links

I went with an obvious thing noted in the story - they specifically give us her father's (whole) name. I found that curious unless it's a Japanese thing. Usually if we get the kid's last name we're pretty sure it'll be the father's last name (and don't nitpick the shit, I'm making a point). We were just told her name is Noriko Yoshida. When referring to her father, they put both first and last name there, and go on to note these things initially took place on his farm in Honshu.


Yoshida Farms is what I started with and was actually a little jolted when this came up as first link in the list:

http://www.yoshida-fish-farms.com/

It's in Japanese (I'm assuming) but aside from graphical text, the actual text just comes up as squares for me so who knows what it says.

I DID do a whois and the site has been online since 2004 I think it said and nothing there using NS seemed all that curious. However, I'm also considering this would be a cold find and not so much a step by step discovery where some information is not known. And considering that if it has any relation, it could be a revamped site to participate in this.

I don't know. I'm just sharing....and if someone can translate the graphic stuff or check it out closer and rule it in or out that would be great.

At any rate, I am off to see about locating her pops...if this is even an open trail.

I meant to post this here. Instead I posted it on another thread...now it's here. Don't mind me.

Slusho Animal Pop-Up Guide (so we know what's popping up when)

Here are the buttons and what pops up when you mouse over them. The first animal pops up on the left and the second on the right. There is one exception, noted below.

Customer Feedback: Donkey / Fish
Store: Frog / Fish
Downloads: Frog / Duck
History: Donkey / Duck
Happy Talk: Donkey / Fish
Flavors: Fish Only

"Flavors" is different in two ways. First, it's the only one where only one animal pops up. Second, it's the only one where the first animal to pop up comes up on the right side. All the rest of them, the first animal is on the left.

Note that there are only two animals on each side. An even distribution of animals would have each one popping up three times. Only the donkey does that, though.

Here's a breakdown of how often the animal pops up and when:

Donkey (3) - Customer Feedback, History, Happy Talk
Fish (4) - Customer Feedback, Store, Happy Talk, Flavors
Frog (2) - Store, Downloads
Duck (2) - Downloads, History

Also, there is a pattern to what pops up. Each animal pops up twice in a row - unless you "wrap" the pop-ups. If you do that, the fish again breaks the pattern, popping up four straight times.

You pattern recognition savants may find other patterns in the pop-ups. That's what I saw looking it over.

"Flavors" is the pattern-breaker and it breaks two of them, the "animal order" pattern (where they appear twice, wait once, then appear once), and the "appearance number" pattern (where each animal should appear three times).

If we wanted to "correct" the "Flavors" bubble, it would bring up the Frog first, then the Duck. That would make the pattern matrix look like:

Customer Feedback: Donkey / Fish
Store: Frog / Fish
Downloads: Frog / Duck
History: Donkey / Duck
Happy Talk: Donkey / Fish
Flavors: Frog / Duck (Currently: Fish Only)
