 		You got it I think. I couldn't figure out "Good Luck John". I also couldn't figure out the top right word that has 7 letters.

I'm the person that e-mailed the blog.

 		The enyo site now has a place to enter comments. The Chinese writing says something like "phone number".

Btw, this is Japanese. After replying they write ありがとう, it means "thank you"

 		enyo reply
After submitting my e-mail address on the enyo page, I was sent a picture. It has what I can only assume is Japanese writing. Can someone help me translate it?

How would I post the picture here?

 		Text from the email:
Quote:
Photo: Final testing of prototype codenamed 天狗.

It is designed for ground warfare of any terrain. Weak against all Air except Helicopters, But this will not be a problem since Aurora will take care of that.

 		I didn't mean to imply that I was the only person who got the e-mail or that I was special in any way.

Thanks for the translation. Looks like Transformers or something lol

 		Not sure if this is important but there have been references to Germany in both trailheads and November 9th is known as Schicksalstag (literally day of fate) in Germany. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schicksalstag

Well, it's true, in Germany is November 9th very significant day for German history. But 2007 there were nothing special... And in Japan then only reference to 9th November 2007 is a Japanese writer Hajime Amagi, who died on this day (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A9%E5%9F%8E%E4%B8%80). But it's surely OOG.

Interesting.

 		Just to tie things up, 天狗 is is the same as from the text on first koi picture from the Enyo page:
Quote:
PzKpfw XXII '天狗' Approved for Mass Production


EDIT: didn't realize until now that PzKpfw meant Panzerkampfwagen or armored combat vehicle.

 		So it looks like we're looking at 3 separate programmes spearheaded by the same corporation, Athena, Aurora and this Mechwarrior-esque style robot. I'm guessing that Aurora is some kind of satellite based weapon, high powered laser I'm guessing, since it's supposed to be being launched from the Cosmodrome in Baikonour (sp?) any day now IG and Athena which is some kind of naturally reoccuring intelligence stimulant that can be easily harvested. Put the 3 together and you have one hell of an armed force, especially if Athena can be used as a control drug, think manchurian candidate..

 		Well just gave over my info to the human enlightenment society so I guess I'll be expecting some weird phone call at some point.

This may have been mentioned but are the three doctors they talk about real people or just game creations?
