I've emailed alex asking if he could give the sender of the rabbit's email address.
Well, here's your answer:

Hi there, that's great.
I'm afraid i don't remember what the address was exactly, it was just some jumbled up letters, not a proper word or anything. Wish I'd kept it now, it's really annoying!
Alex.

not really sorry...
are you guys SURE it says MOSAIQ? I don't know how to do this hex business but someone told me earlier that's apparently what the file title is but I've been searching it and no luck...

In response to:

Do you have _anything_ else we could go on? Since we're pretty much at a dead end right now - besides the picture.
So, it says something besides mosaiq?

Well, I just hex-ed it myself and got "mozaiq" instead of "mosaiq".

CRAP! So sorry guys, it was my bad... I saw the word after converting it and the q stood out as an intentional misspelling, so much so that I missed that it was a Z not an S... gah!
alright, new trail... let's (re)dig!

I got this, too, FWIW.
Also, welcome back to MageSteff!
As for the potential controversy made by referring to ARGs and Unfiction... I think SpaceBass just posted something in a new game topic where, although it may be poor form to refer to Unfiction's comments in an ARG, it is not disallowed; the only thing not allowed on Unfiction is IG-characters posting on the boards.
That said, I like the idea of an ARG-within-an-ARG.

Got it!
Mozaiq is a stegging tool online. http://mozaiq.org/decrypt/
I destegged the image and apparently hidden inside is:
VK7-HioKW90
EDIT: To add it's a youtube video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VK7-HioKW90

mozaiq.org lets you "Create your own Photo Mosaic!". More importantly, it has a steg feature on the website. "Hide a Message Inside an Image!"
I tried destegging with the password mozaiq - comes out as "VK7-HioKW90"
So that's our new lead.
(Beat me to it plugs)

oh, totally agreed rekidk, I'm certain the PM won't be posting on here... but it's an ARG that's referring to itself as an ARG, and that's opening the door for potential problems let's hope it's done well!

(Sorry for the double post, but this warrants new bumpage.)
I got a reply from Cygnus Test.
