 		It is interesting that this case file is green, and more time/temporal references. Ironic it is about Nostradamus, and a few of us have predicted what the end of the video revealed.

My question now is, why are we being strung along these lines(by them)? Where's this all leading too for us? Are Them recruiting? Has a faction risen up in Them? The camera pans so much, and he says so much so fast in this one, its gonna take several viewings to get it all.

Also, is it me or does Sawyer sound like he is getting sick of it?

Being used like this.

 		He sounds bored, annoyed.. It's hard to tell if it's even his voice because of the echo. Doesn't sound quite right, though, even with that.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the beginning of the video there's some rope behind the laptop, and at the end you can see that he's tied up.. And it looks like the person tied up isn't talking. The bandana doesn't move enough. My brother says that the scanline effect looks different, too.

In his Youtube profile, his country changed to Mexico.

 		No Beeping also.

The effects on the laptop look like visualizations on Windows Media Player. Perhaps what we're hearing is recorded audio? It would explain the sound difference at the end.

I agree that he sounds tired of being a pawn. What could we do to help him?

 		Yeah, it's visualizations on WMP, and the audio's recorded.

 		So maybe he isn't in the position we see him in. Maybe he is faking it. Can we trust Sawyer at all? Obviously, everything seen in the video is completely intended.

 		Does any one have any idea what the graph-like images are? I have a feeling that they are important. As for the story, I remain equally skeptical, out of game of course.

 		i got another email from skyler today


"No it wasn't Will Smith unless he used the flashy thing on me.


I didn't tell the shink about any of this. Just since Sawyer is in trouble we have to figure out what the heck is going on, right?"


i replied with
"but you already know whats going on dont you?"

 		I got an email from skyler too, she told me she's been grounded for the last few days...

Is it me, or the objective of the game is still too difuse?

I'm 13 and I only know this stuff cause my dad was into it and all that, and he got me into it. And yeah, I saw the video. Problem is, mom saw it too and I kinda got grounded.
Sawyer said before that he had a file they wanted. And since that THEM guy is freaking me out I think some of the people chasing him were on the site. Maybe he was trying to weed us out or something I don't know. But I'm going to help him. I've been saving up my allowance and I think I got it.

 		Them made a post on the CA forums we were all probably expecting.

My company has been looking for Sawyer for some time. I haven't heard anything through channels. I don't think they are behind this.

Crap, this really complicates things.

 		Beeps and Things
I have an uber geek musician friend that would actually enjoy the game if it ever got going. I asked him to take a look at the beeps and he just looked at File One. Here is the email he sent me. There's an attached ausio file and I'll email it to anyone that emails me for it.
Quote:
In my opinion, the beeps were generated by someone who knows nothing
about audio surveillance to make you think he was being monitored by the
feds for gaming purposes. He says he'll give us what he "promised", and
goes on about the government's knowledge of, and the Hollywood-style
exploitation of, "grays". Thanks for the Top Secret Info Mulder! Maybe
he can explain why he throws his keys down - like he'll have time to
scrounge around for them when the MIB's come for him. I get the
impression he was driving all day running from the conspiracy as they
chased him on their bicycles. This schmuck wouldn't last .125 seconds at
a 10 year-old's laser-tag birthday party.
Anyways... here's the info I promised you (no pun intended)
1) There were 18 beeps total.
2) All beeps were exactly .125 seconds long.
3) I was able to measure frequency-strength differences between his
voice and the beeps.THE SOUND WAS DEFINITELY COMING FROM WITHIN THE ROOM
HE WAS IN.
4) If you take the point in the video when he was farthest from the
camera and the point in the video when he was closest to the camera, the
sound was coming from somewhere between those two distances.
5) The tones were all dual -tones, but they definitely were NOT "the
sound of a phone dialing", especially noticeable by the low frequencies
of last 2 tones.
6)In the attached sound file, I modified the tones heavily to get them
to sound about equal in volume. It's hard for the human ear to decipher
the difference between tones that are only .125 long, so I made them
4x.125 long (and you can easily tell that they repeat 4 times in a row).
7) I did notice one inconsistency - the time between tones. Probably due
to a shitty recorder and/or the effect of compressing the video in order
to upload it to youtube. The following is the time between each beep's
*start *time (in seconds).
4.18 / 4.29 / 4.18 / 4.29 / 4.18 / 4.18 / 4.29 / 4.29 / 4.29 / 4.18 /
4.184 / 4.287 / 4.40 / 4.18 / 4.40 / 4.18 / 4.18

I think he spent more time scanning in images of grays than he did
concerning himself with the video's authenticity.


Also I received the same email from Agent Stenc. And I told him the truth. I have no way of contacting Sawyer and I'm loyal to him to the grave. Let's see what he says. I'm also going to contact skypilot and them and donate to the game for fun.

 		Skyler
These are the email interactions i've had with skyler. Let's see if anything happens. I donated the money and haven't heard anything yet. And my taunting of THEM hasn't been replied.

Quote:
Well as long as THEM isn't actually visiting you then don't worry. If
he is.... then start screaming rape and point at him everytime you see
him. You're a smart girl- scare him back. That's how we hold our own
destiny. We use our whits and intuition (women have great intuition)
to make the best we can. The same thing can be used for moms Wink

I don't know where Sawyer is, if I did I'd be there to help him. You
might say he reminds me of someone. So anything I can do to help him I
will. So if you have any ideas let me know, ok? Smile

From Transtar To Skyler

Hey,
Hope everything is going well with you. My parents did that to me once (awkward!), but I know they just have the best of intentions. I hope your MiB sightings are just from you being scared, and if not should we communicate by e-mail.... as for these "kid hunters" don't worry too much about them the probability of running into one of those is very very low if your not stupid and are flirting online with older men and posting "Come see me" ads on craigslist ....
I actually have a theory that the closer in proximity you are to Brian Williams your likelihood of meeting a child-predator approaches one.

Anyway, I hope to hear your ideas soon, and I hope all is going well.

Everything is ok I guess. Just mom being wack and me worrying about school and Sawyer.
That new video has me confused and wondering if he was honest or not.
