Edited last post - ASCII 32 is a space.

My guess is the full word is motivation activation.

Looks like locations are associated with Zodiac signs, so we can guess at least 12 locations (13 with Ophiuchus Smile ).

thanks!

thanks, Toasty!

that's a great translator!

i just chatted with Yori again. she says she's been up all night worrying about her trip and her job.

looks like the friend she's meeting up with believes she's being followed.

at work, the old president, Akira, worked well with the Junker Corp. now that his son, Norio doesn't want to cooperate, Yori saw an ultimatum Junker Corp sent out wanting all Onyo codes back (which she says is 15 years worth of work at Takeda Robotics International). she also doesn't think "they'll work" without the codes!

i think she's talking about robots, but she wouldn't answer.

i'll let you know if i hear anything else out.

by the way, filled out and sent in my enlightenment socity ap.

i gave real phone #s, etc. i'll let you know if i hear anything back from them, too.

I just finished a gmail chat with Yori, but... um...

This is my first time actually having any real-time interacting with a character in an ARG, so... I failed to get too much important information. We just had a bunch of small talk XD

Regardless, I'll post the chat up, in case you guys find something interesting.

PH33R MY WANNABE JAPANESE SKILLS.

yori: ^_____________^
me: Konnichiwa, Yori!
yori: HI
how are you
me: Pretty good Very Happy
yori: where are you from?
me: Would be better if I had less homework this weekend, of course Razz
5:44 PM Ummm...
yori: yeah, school is tough
me: Gomenasai. I'm kinda paranoid about my personal info
A lot of my friends are hackers and stuff, you see Razz
yori: I am just asking what country
^___^
5:45 PM me: Oh
America Very Happy
yori: is it cold there?
is very cold in Japan
5:46 PM me: Yeah, it's cold in the mornings
It gets better though in the afternoon
5:47 PM You're from Japan? Lucky Razz I want to go there someday.
So, how's work been?
yori: I hope that you do someday
5:48 PM really really stressful, but I am having a littel break. in two days from now I am going north of sapporo to meet my friend
5:49 PM me: Yeah, I suppose that's bound to happen, what with the change of management and the breaking off from Junker and all
I hope your trip is nice, though! Very Happy
yori: same here.
Do you have any koi pictures for my collection?
5:50 PM me: Nah, sorry. I'm stuck here at home this weekend. I've been bugging my friends about it, though XD
5:53 PM Hey, if you don't mind me asking...
What are you collecting all the koi pictures for?
yori: I love kois!
5:54 PM i had started collecting them 6 months ago
i have pictures of kois from 17 countries so far
5:55 PM me: Cool Very Happy
5:57 PM yori: ^__^

...And then she kinda just logged off as I started typing this. I was gonna ask for suggestions on what to ask! XD

Hope that this was somehow helpful!

Edit: Was looking at her facebook profile... Her personal quote is creepy.

Well, I stopped being a n00b and actually asked Yori something important. Still didn't get much info about anything, but she seemed to have unraveled a much bigger conspiracy regarding our educational system XD

me: Hello Yori!
yori: Hi
me: I can't chat for too long, because I'm going to play some video games with my family soon, but...
I finally got the chance to listen to that news report you sent me this morning, and...
You are now off the record Learn more Cancel
me: Do you have any idea why Junker moved to North Korea? And... um... Who are the Kitsune?
yori: well the kitsune is a well known animal rights activists, I think they hacked into the ES website a while ago
I have no idea why they are moving to north korea.
me: Hmm.
One last thing:
Why is 10th grade chemistry so hard? [wince]
yori: because you will never ever use it again in your entire life
me: XD
yori: other than in preparing food
maybe
me: XD
Well, thanks! I need to go finish up the last bit of my homework now. See ya later, and once again, I hope your trip goes well!
yori: laters

Wow, greet progress you've done, people!
I really worry about Yori and her ... Sad

Btw, the big letters on our "cake"
Seems to be "Unternehmen Gjallarhorn"

Unternehmen is German word for Company
Gjallarhorn is a "ringing horn" from Norse mythology, it announces Rangarök, or Apokalypse.

So we'll have to look for that Company, I suppose.

And the Japanese word in that picture is
実験
it means "experiment"
