 		It's not a simple cryptogram.

If OHMM = HTTP, then both H and M would have to be T.

 		So I've heard back from Steven Sommers:

Quote:
Walker, my location is Grays Point. As far as I know there is no exit from this place. If you can find anyone to evacuate the survivors here if there are any, please send them in. I don't know where this Tyrian sector is but I'm glad you've found me.


To which I replied:

Quote:
Well, there were supposed to be some guys headed out your way to set up a communications relay - they were going to be operating it out of an old Airstream trailer - but I've lost contact with them. Last message I had about their efforts . . . well, i don't even know if it was really them. The transmission came out of the general area of Gray's Point, but I couldn't get a proper fix on it, and something seemed weird about it. Can't put my finger on what, though.

I do know that there's at least one other person in Gray's Point - a Sam Graves. I'll see if I can't find out where he is in Gray's Point.

Might be a good idea if the two of you teamed up - it would probably improve your chances of survival. Whatever's going on in Gray's Point, it sounds like something out of Silent Hill, know what I mean?


I also told Sam Graves about the distress call and suggested the same thing to him - that he look for this Steven Sommers and work with him on this thing.

Also, about that URL thingy - has anyone considered that it might be in Vigenere?

[EDIT] I just tried to generate a key for the scrambled Web address using the Vigenere square, and came up with TMHD for the first four key letters. So, it's not Vigenere after all.

 		Problem with Vig & YouTube here is that the YT address will include numbers.
But I tried.

This is as far as I got:

 		Unless the end bit isn't the address for a video, but for a userpage on YouTube.

Or we might not be dealing with a YouTube page at all. It could be Myspace or something like that.

 		Ok so what happened in 2012. It was a nice warm December.... Ok so we stumbled upon a MSN group called Anne's Memory. It was a memorial site for Anne "Shakes" Bauer. She was the successor to a fast food chain. She died on Dec 13, 2012. She had two sisters Ash and Sabbath. Basically Ash is the evil twin from hell who turns it to this demigod thing of greatness and tries to destroy the world. You know same old, story. Smile So the twin Sab finally chooses a side and destroys her sister but not till after some bad happens.
Quote:
Dr. Carter here. Sabbath made her choice on the USS Starshooter. She made it after Twitch killed Ash. But his death wasn't in vain. She chose us. I don't know if you will receive this, if the power is out, or even if you are alive. Thank you for your help. The cataclysms happened all right; but not nearly as bad as what had been predicted. Not by a long shot. Nationwide, about 1/4 of our population is missing or dead. If she'd chosen Twitch, we would all be dead. But on midnight, December 23, the cataclysms began. They stopped one hour later, when Roderigo sealed Twitch inside his the White Flame. Well, I should say that Sabbath sealed her.<o></o>I will try and fund a recovery program. If you have the means, do the same. We saved as many lives as we could. I hope that's enough.
There are a lot of puzzles and good character interaction. There was even a prize!!! Jason gave away one of his books. It was the first ARG that I played. Hmm what else... Oh it was fun as hell.

Watch him, he will use multiple ciphers for somethings like this.

RedHatty - I bet he says that you are lieing or something. Best to just jump on to your handy-dandy time altering device and turn the dial to 2014 and enjoy the future in your youth. I, personally, use the DeLorean.

It seems we have a continuation of Anne's Memory. Something like 2 years later. Seems like it is still hell on earth and there is a group of Dheana out to play again... good times.

 		No word from Sam as yet, but Steven wrote back:

Quote:

I don't doubt communication is interrupted, you should send some men to look for them. Then again...Grays Point isn't safe. Maybe it's best you all keep away. Has there been any contact with the army? Those eyes are still staring...

Sam? I'm surprised he's still alive but then again with his marksmanship maybe it isn't that much of one. I can't see anything outside. Do you know if he's alive or where he's located?
Isn't Silent Hill a videogame or something?


Also, I've heard from schifftheman (whoever he is):

Quote:
I've been watching you. I'd like you to relay a message to Steven for me. Just don't tell him who I am.

Message:

Mr. Somers,
It seems you won't be so easy to get rid of. You're as pesky Red Moors Seigor (I know his real name). You still haven't mastered Thanatos either. And you're probably running low on ammo. Will you accept death, or will you keep fighting? Believe it or not, I'm really enjoying your antics. Your Myspace Page is a real hoot as well.
Cheers.
AnOnYMoUs

 		Steven Somer's Myspace
As far as Steven Somer's Myspace is concerned, here it is:

There is a very recent comment from Sam Graves that says:

Quote:
I'm at Tabbots. Decided to hole up there. It's gun store on the northeast side.

 		In Memory of Anne "Shakes" Bauer
Nereus_Theophilus you got a few things wrong in your post about Anne's Memory.

Just to make sure we are all on the same page, I read up on all the Anne stuff last night and it's somewhat different from what Nereus_Theophilus said above.

Anne "Shakes" Bauer, heir to the Nile/Carter fast food chains, died December 13, 2012. It was believed she killed herself but certain statements made by Twitch (Anne's daughter) sounded as if Twitch actually killed her mother.

Ashes "Ash" Bauer was Anne's husband.

They had twin daughters believed to be 12 years old when their mother, Anne, died.

The oldest of the Twins was Sabbath. The youngest being Twitch.

There are 3 groups of deities
  • Group one, the oldest is Arkayis, Goddess of Contentment a.k.a. ???????
  • Group two, the next oldest is Testimus, Demigod of Peace a.k.a. Sabbath a.k.a the good twin
  • Group three, the youngest is Dheana, Demigod of Fear a.k.a. Twitch a.k.a. the evil twin, the beast or hellmouth, etc..

The disaster of 2012 on December 22, 2012 began at midnight and lasted for one hour. Ashes "Ash" Bauer (their father) had to be sacrificed before Sabbath (Testimus) would chose sides between the Carter's or her sister Twitch (Dheana).

Ashes "Ash" Bauer had to be killed by Twitch (Dheana) at the above time on the USS Starshooter. Which indeed happened forcing Sabbath (Testimus) to choose sides. She chose the side of the Carter's instead of Twitch's. If she had chosen to side with Twitch the disaster would have been a whole lot worse, everyone would have been dead but as it turns out only a quarter died or went missing, according to Dr. Carter.

Sabbath (Testimus) sealed or imprisoned Twitch (Dheana) within the White Flame, a weapon only effective if used by Sabbath (Testimus). So here we are two years later, October 28, 2014, and from the way things are shaping up Twitch (Dheana) may actually get freed from the White Flame.

Those still living are: Dr. Carter, Sabbath, Twitch (held within the White Flame), Steven Somers, and I'm not sure who else but I will look again.

Thank you for the back story Sylvia. It helped me to understand the setting much better.

I'm able to hear it just fine.(I was listening to it for a couple hours last night the music is pretty good. lol) I'm currently using the RealPlayer plugin and the Firefox web browser. I wish we had an ETA on the radio show. He says "night" but we don't really know what time zone he's talking about.
