Are we missing something? Where the heck are we supposed to find this stuff? I don't see anywhere where it's contained...only snips here and there and speculation over yonder. It's like there's a piece of info or "file" is missing, and the only one I can think of is the rest of febflght.qnc..........hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well I'm out of ideas on how to get the required information. The hint that said "go back" I took literally and went back in search of something. (NADA)
And since there hasn't been much recent spec on where we're supposed to look for this travel info....unless someone is keeping mum Very Happy ...I've left a msg for Ray at the msg board. His most recent message didn't really tell us much other than he no longer suspects Bill Jones or Stan Fujita (unless I missed something). Anyway hopefully he can shed some light on the subject (although I rather doubt it as I don't think the msg board is considered "secure"....but I thought it was worth a shot).

Have recovered stolen document from specialized tanker arriving in US port. Tanker stopped at numerous other ports. Document was in a box wrapped in a flag matching the following description: divided into four, equal rectangles; the top quadrants are white with a blue five pointed star in the center and plain red; the bottom quadrants are plain blue and white with a red five pointed star in the center.

It's the Panamanian Flag.

Just to make it easier. Here's the translation for the above...

A reply to Kim's msg asking for confirmation that DukeDelaney's last assignment was in Chile.

Based on Tin Ginny I would say yes. Others are using Jakarta in their thought process. In QND speak Jakarta refers to New Jersey.

Curiouser and curiouser....all that proves is that ChristnWalters was in New Jersey instead of Jakarta/Indonesia in May...doesn't mean he wasn't in Istanbul in June????

OK, feeling stupid, but where did we get the info that Chris Walters was in Jakarta? I don't remember reading it.

Another note, if he was only in New Jersey, then it doesn't matter to the calendar because the travel policy only applies to trips outside the US. Which is why Angela's trip to Sacramento in February doesn't matter either.

Maybe I spoke to soon... Smile

It can't be directly copied and pasted into a translator because there is a space in between each . and _

There's also no word breaks so if this is morse code that is supposed to be translated it's gonna take a while.

Is it just me or is it weird how a few of the lines only have one letter of morse code in it? Those translate to Tet Tet Tut. Not that that means anything Smile

I tried binary both as dash-1/dot-0 and vice versa. Nada....but it's a long string and I may have made a mistake. Anyone is welcome to check again...I'm too tired to go through it again.

And Baudot:

10011 11111 01111 11010 01100
W.........LTRS......K........G..........N


It's funny because the page I used says that 11111 signifies that whatever comes after it is from the "letter Set" (as opposed to the "Figure Set"), and it is denoted by "LTRS".

With the first letter being a "W" added to the "LTRS" gives "WLTRS".............and we have C.Walters. (coincidence only I assure you Smile )

I seem to remember a morse code cipher like this before.
And given no spaces to denote the actual letters, it WAS a pain to get translated.
Look at the source - a tanker. Ships use (used?) morse code to communicate.
If I had the time, I'd love to work on it. But, alas, I'm just lurking in this round of virtuquest.

I would suggest Morse Code. It's going to be trial and error to figure out the letters, though.

There were two similar type tests (both Acheron)
Quote:
TEST FOUR Another new Press Release. This one is of a old page from a bible. Strange morse code markings, but no "pauses" between the letters or words. After much thrashing around with morse code combinations, drizjr discovered that it was "binary" using dots and dashes for the 0/1's


TEST 6 (I think) wasn't "morse-looking" but ended up being "binary-looking".....but the solve was found to be Baudot. I thought to try converting to Binary and decipher using Baudot Code...no go.

I haven't had much luck and have been trying a lot (just to avoid attacking it in Morse...lol). I did try some, but it is tedious.
