 		Hey, I'm pretty new to ARGs, but I'll help solve this one any way I can. It looks like the best bet right now is to decode that hex code, then go from there. Could someone do me a favor and compile all of the contacts AIMs and emails into one post to catch me up (assuming they didn't cancel this)? Thanks.

 		Crap. Didn't notice he translated it right below where he wrote it. That was a waste of an hour. Oh well, at least I know hex now.

This couldn't be related to our friends in Indiana with UFO problems, could it? However, this adventure hasn't gotten too "involved", so I don't think it would be staged by the makers of the X-Files. It seems too small as of now.

 		My guess is not... but who knows? Very Happy

That'd be great if it turned out to be an X-Files ARG.

 		Who knows? I could be a test or a preliminary thing for an X-files ARG, but more than likely it seems to just be done by a few kids with plenty of free time.

 		Guys this is definatley not something large like a viral for a film.

Like I said before, a film would have a major company behind them doing it, and it would be on a huge scale. Not just a few people emailed =)

Has anyone heard anything again?

 		I'm posting this in both threads because it deals with both of them. I just had a chat with Colby Shaw.

Quote:
[14:08] SamRey56: Hey Colby.
[14:08] C0LSHAW: Sam!
[14:08] C0LSHAW: how's it going?
[14:10] C0LSHAW: ...?
[14:11] SamRey56: Not bad, not bad. Hey, I heard you were a little upset about me playing along with you when we first met. I just wanted to apologize for that.
[14:11] C0LSHAW: no problem man, I completely understand
[14:11] SamRey56: Okay, cool. Just felt like I had to say that. So, I hear you have some interesting news?
[14:12] C0LSHAW: oh!
[14:12] C0LSHAW: yeah.
[14:12] C0LSHAW: I haven't blogged in a while, you know? Well, you probably saw.
[14:12] SamRey56: Yeah, since that dream about Christine giving you the eye thing.
[14:12] C0LSHAW: right
[14:13] C0LSHAW: well, I've had this feeling that I've been missing something important.
[14:13] C0LSHAW: right?
[14:13] SamRey56: Yeah, I get what you mean.
[14:14] C0LSHAW: yeah.
[14:14] C0LSHAW: so yesterday morning Christine and I met for breakfast
[14:14] C0LSHAW: and she told me that SHE had a dream the night before, too!
[14:14] C0LSHAW: so I got all excited, and I asked her about it
[14:14] C0LSHAW: and she said she dreamt of a large web, like a spiderweb, strung between two large needles
[14:14] C0LSHAW: and there were faces on the needle
[14:14] C0LSHAW: and all kinds of people were there
[14:15] C0LSHAW: but at the center, was Chet. And Chet's nephew... someone named Gabriel or something
[14:15] C0LSHAW: and she said it felt SO important for us to talk to them about the Prophecy of Stars
[14:15] SamRey56: Gabriel...do you know his last name?
[14:16] C0LSHAW: No... but Chet's last name is Lawson, so...
[14:16] SamRey56: Holy shit, I know Gabriel.
[14:16] C0LSHAW: lol why?
[14:16] C0LSHAW: ... ?
[14:16] C0LSHAW: are you serious?
[14:16] SamRey56: Gabriel and his friend Mike.
[14:16] SamRey56: Yes, I'm serious.
[14:16] C0LSHAW: well, she didn't mention a Mike...
[14:16] C0LSHAW: wait, are you serious? like, you're not messing with me?
[14:16] SamRey56: No, I'm not.
[14:16] C0LSHAW: ... small world, then..
[14:17] SamRey56: And get this, Colby: They saw something flying in the sky.
[14:17] C0LSHAW: wow.
[14:17] C0LSHAW: ... ?!?
[14:17] C0LSHAW: ok, now I'm creeped out
[14:17] C0LSHAW: lol I have chills
[14:17] SamRey56: Prophecy of the Stars, man.
[14:17] C0LSHAW: Tanya is looking at me weird...
[14:17] C0LSHAW: *my coworker
[14:17] C0LSHAW: lol
[14:17] C0LSHAW: so um... yeah.
[14:17] C0LSHAW: Christine said we had to find Chet and tell him about my dreams
[14:18] C0LSHAW: all of a sudden it's like she went from totally thinking I was whacko, to 100% with me
[14:18] SamRey56: Chet is out of town, isn't he?
[14:18] C0LSHAW: I think there might be something more to her "dream" that she's not telling me.
[14:18] C0LSHAW: Yeah, someone told me that... they said that maybe that's why I'm not getting phone calls any more.
[14:19] SamRey56: This is big, Colby.
[14:19] C0LSHAW: cosmic, I'd even go so far as to say
[14:19] SamRey56: Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
[14:20] C0LSHAW: Razz
[14:20] C0LSHAW: h/o, I'm going to blog to let everyone else know what's going on
[14:20] C0LSHAW: my boss is still @ lunch so I have a few minutes
[14:20] SamRey56: Yeah, definitely. I'll let anyone I see know, too.
[14:20] SamRey56: But the situation with Gabriel is...complicated.


So, these two we thought unrelated are in fact connected. Makes sense, really.

 		Well then, if this and Prophecy of stars is the same thing.. This was the first that came to mind:

From the other thread:

WTF? OUR secret?



So, could we assume they are acting all "weird" as Gabriel put it and have been affected/bodysnatched/whatever? It's a thought

 		...So why is there an AIM page for him?

http://www.aimpages.com/nglfthsky/profile.html

It even has a code on it, though I'll be damned if I know what it is.

It's base-8. Take three digits convert to decimal and then look it up in an ASCII table..

Since I just switched from a Prophecy of Stars- can we have a quick rundown of "The story thus far" ??
