Here is a slightly different translation:

So he was one of the "four" tickets purchased to France (four agent tickets to France in the same month being against the mandate). Angela and Chris were not among the other three tickets to France as they were in Sacremento. That leaves Duke or Kane.........I dunno, I'm getting vertigo. Shocked

Here is another version of the translation.
Not a professional one though.....

to please place me into France or
Panama. I feel my current disposition is not
resolving well. I am nervous that
my contacts might be suspicious of
my align nature.

I really need to have support me on
this demand.

ooooo. That sounds much better than mine. So the question is, did pjacobs get placed in one of those place? It would violate the policy if he was placed in a second country during the same year, but maybe if the agent is "found out" there is an exception.

Varin, I'm not Italian and my translation efforts ran much the same as the others, but this part:

Quote:
I behind arrange it in France or the Panama hat


Just sounded "off". So I decided to try to translate in smaller chunks and in some cases word by word, and also taking some English words and translating them back into Italian.

Quote:
lo dispongo indietro in Francia o nel Panama.


Was the part I was esp. trying to get to "read" something sensible. If you put Panama as an English word and translate to Italian, for whatever reason it comes out as "the Panama Hat". So for me it was simply Panama. "Indiertro" does turn out to be "behind" when translated to English, but it didn't make sense in the sentence, so I tried to think what word might fit there with the two countries and the word "arrange". So I tried then a translation of "back" from English to Italian and it came up as "indiertro". And "dispongo" translated to "decide" or "I decide" (can't recall).

I actually believe it translates into something like:

I decided, back in France or Panama, to give them one last chance to comply.
Or sumpin like that. Very Happy

 		additional location??
Howdy all, and THANK YOU SO MUCH for the help with that morse code deal!! There is NO way I could have gotten through that. I now feel the need 2 actively contribute (even though I am hoping 2B on the virtuqwest leader board this time!).

Not that it matters now, but "Al Masu Osmer" almost anagrams 2 "SamuEl Morse". Smile

And, possibly more importantly, to the locations that Varin listed :
Quote:
So this is what I have come up with so far...

Code:

Agent Location
Oct/Nov (Chris or Paul?) (Panama or place in Europe?)
Dec/Jan (Chris or Paul?) (Panama or place in Europe?)
Feb/Mar (Ray?) France
Apr/May Kane Woods Egypt
Jun/Jul Duke Delany Chile
Aug/Sept Angela Ross Switzerland


I have been inluding "Poland" in my QND submissions (NO I did not ask about the Hummer) based on an article (and the way the months R grouped) restricting travel 2 Poland on the QND site (front page). No direct responses from QND yet, and of course no "correct" on the virtuqwest site. But it does "feel" right (6 suspects, 6 time periods, 6 places??). -Kimpossible

 		So with the new country and other developments we have:

Code:
              Agent             Location
Oct/Nov        ??               (Panama?)
Dec/Jan        ??               Poland
Feb/Mar       Ray Gatin         France
Apr/May      Kane Woods          Egypt
Jun/Jul      Duke Delany         Chile
Aug/Sept     Angela Ross      Switzerland


Now I need to do some more digging on the qnd site to see if I can figure anything else out...

 		I'm looking through the files in the matrix that have yet to be deleted and still am missing something. Here were my thoughts just in case they make a lightbulb turn on over someone's head.

Quote:

c1d1.qnc - Ray's Coded Msg

This was solved and gave us a message from ray.

Quote:
cdof.qnc - Current Decryption Of Files Guidelines


only thing I can see here that is a possible puzzle left to be solved is the string &*675$%#$0:.; )()*&@":.&
Quote:
ef2.qnc - "Double Flush and Check"


could there be something hidden here? It has always struck me as an odd memo.

Quote:
fsrprt.qnc - File Server Report


Do we need to find these files?

AddList.Doc
Numbers.DOC
Sequence2.DOC
Emaillist.LST
FTPNUM.txt

Quote:
passp.qnc - Partial pic Kane Woods' passport


I think this has served its purpose.

Quote:
server.qnc - Server Access?


don't see anything unusual here, but I'm not really an expert on server stuff. I know someone else here mentioned that the IP listed is for the Dept of Defense.

Quote:
Ztime.qnc - Agent Check In times?


Are these times that agents are required to check in? How do they check in? Are we supposed to check in somewhere at one of these times? Or is this supposed to tell us anything at all?

Quote:
9-5messlog.qnc - Msg Log for 9/5/03


I've stared at this a thousand times in the order given here and in time order. Doesn't really seem to tell us anything about the two remaining agents that we need info on, Paul Jacobs and Chris Walters. Is there a reason that they reordered the messages according to sender? Are we supposed to see something.

 		This is strange. I don't know if its a email glitch/odd coincidence or if it's in game. I just received an email from myself that I didn't send. Its the exact email I sent to Ray on 9/23 with my ideas about the agent locations. Did anyone else receive anything?

 		something like that happened to me at the beginning of GO. 2 emails I sent to ray came back as replies from ray, but with nothing added by him (so it was like him sending me my own mail). I figured it was just a glitch...
