Thanks Booba, one less thing to be frustrated over and it kind of confirms what I thought. Now if only we could get that damnable red.PNG figured...

I would interpret that message in chunks as follows;

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ONLY A FEW ALIVE
BUT ITS NOT DEAD
KANE IS DEAD I BELIEVE, THEY HAVE MISTAKEN - As in they either made a mistake by killing Kane or are mistaken if they think he is dead.
THE VIALS FAILED
HELP US


Anyone else offer a take on this?

 		Another possibility would be

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
KANE IS DEAD.
I BELIEVE THEY HAVE MISTAKEN, THE VIALS HAVE FAILED!

Lets see now;

Secret project
Radioactivity
Japanese
Monster
Help us

It is a Cloverfield prequel Smile

 		I'm still convinced the key is in red.PNG, if only we could figure out what it was or how to decode it...

OFF TOPIC: Hey, booba, who "were" you during WIBS (I mean on the WIBS forum...). Unless, of course, you were a lurker, or i'm forgetting the name "booba". In which case, sorry Embarassed

 		Just checked my email. Got this back from Chris Lee, hidden as highlightable text (white text on white background):
Quote:
If you find this message, please send it to all. My name is Chris Lee, and I am a friend of the deceased Kane. They're trying to suppress the news from spreading, the news that it has all their works ended up in horrible failure.


emailed him back, asking if there was anything we could do to help.

Are the caps clues? I don't want to be a bad guy! I wrote back,

I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. I've done more research and found out who you are and some of what you're fighting against.

We'll fight them in Kane's memory, but we need your help to figure out that image! Do you have any clues?[/quote

 		Ah, something concrete to work with:
[quote=chris lee]I'm afraid it is all up to you and all those who have listened to our messages. Look for the keys, the ones Kane has planted deep into the Visce server before he died. I will try to guide you the best I can.

I got pretty much the same response in response to my last message, except I didn't get the part about the keys. i'm beginning to think we'll find our answers in past clues.

 		Brilliant! Finally, I think we can assume, safely or otherwise, that red.png is a red herring and that we need to start looking elsewhere for the required clues...

 		*whew*
You da man.

I have come ()this close to taking a bat to the computer figuring out what the hell the deal is with that image.

meta:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Guess they got tired of waiting! heh


So we still have the issue here that the original email sent to Kane at the last known working email address was replied to from the same account, but that Chris Lee has been accessing it. He tells us Kane is dead.

The encrypted message is apparently from supernatural Kane saying no he isn't, and that red is a herring.

I still ask the obvious question of who is Chris Lee and how and why is he all up in Kane's email. It's obviously relevant here else that would've been a dead end.

The image error thing - was that from a reply from Chris or Kane, as an attachment or? I'm not clear on where that came from.

The only clues so far then from Kane have been the original message to chaos who is MIA ...that it's still alive.

That leaves Brehon, previously known Visce webmaster, who sent me the email (out of the blue mindya) saying only "it's alive." So that at least tells me that Brehon and Kane are providing compatable information, while Chris Lee who has access to Kane's email is telling us Kane is no more.

Remember though from before, Visce contracted Brehon to put the nix on Kane's hack attacks. If they're now both sending the same info it would suggest they may have joined forces at some point.

Only problem is...apparently Brehon is still smarting over my lil smartassness from before (hey man, I thought it was spam, give me a break)...so he's not replied again, not even to my apology email. Sheeesh, talk about holding grudges here Laughing

I also sent the one to Chris asking what happened to Kane but got no reply there either...so pffft.

The vials apparently have an ability to give one eternal life?

I'm thinking that the "it" in question that is still alive is that program they were originally involved in...some side effect or some such reaction from being in contact with the vials...which were not all located.

 		Backtracking...
For a refresher...since Kane has instructed us to look back to March and what was going on...

Chris Tatiano- CEO
James Atkins- CEO

Leslie Groves and Samuel McGaulin- Founders

From the History Page:

Quote:
Visce was founded on 1945, by General Leslie Groves and Samuel McGaulin. The Visce Project, as it was first called, branched out from the Manhattan Project, serving as a support base for the damages that the atomic bombs would cause at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. With a team of 5 disclosed scientists, the team began the research to a fast and effective cure for the radiation and atrocious physical damage. Unfortunately, the project was discontinued due to circumstances.
Visce Enterprise was refounded and reconstructed July 5th of 1997 by Chris Tatiano and James Atkins. Through many years, the laboratory was recovered, along with the research and materials that was last used around 50 years ago. Continuing the top secret project that was long forgotten, Visce Enterprise is here to bring a variety of medical supplies and new medicines, vaccines, and drugs to the ongoing warfare in Iraq, Sudan, etc.


Okay - Chris says to find the keys Kane buried deep in the Visce server...


Let's reconsider the message hidden in Visce:


Quote:

visce//// Globat support ms bringning your websile to work. Pleabe be pstient as tive support propagates the domaan through the fite gateway channals located here in Washingtan. Do nol change the security nevel settings pnd do nol access the domain panal until domain propagation has finished



So we got the anagram letters, but I'm suspecting that there's more to it we glossed over. The instructions at face value sayone thing, but maybe that's our hint...

What does this mean in somebody go hack into Visce again like we did last time where we found all the goodies terms?

This isn't that deep, but it was worth a shot since it played out before, but ftp.visce.com is locked up. It does, however, pull up cpanel while everything else with visce.com is no such page.

Hackers? For the glory? Can you get us in there? Kane hid stuff...tiz his MO doncha know.
