Ok, recieved another e-mail

Quote:
I am glad that you liked the song. I still cant sleep. I was listening to some old old Japanese songs. Other than the message it tells, the lyrics are also interesting for those days.

Tomorrow I am going to feed koi fishes at the local pond. It will be fun


Attached was that same song that someone posted.

I notice in both of our e-mails, he/she mentions feeding the koi fishes. Wonder if that has any meaning?

has the main page changed? seems different to me. before I could have swore that the thing swirling around in a circle was on the left of the words "ACCESS DENIED" but now it's on the right. Also in the lower right hand corner their is a small white square, I never noticed before.

Colors have changed too.

ETA: go to non-flash version, white square leads to this:

I have a feeling that when we translate that symbol into English, we're going to find the next page in this little puzzle. I've e-mailed Yori again, more music discussion with undertone of hints.

EDIT: By the way, has anyone made an attempt to de-steg any of these images? It's a long shot, but one never knows. I've been trying to install Camouflage on my system but it's not supporting it for some reason.

nice guys. and we have a password for what yet I don't know.

and as for the "GOLIATH AND TELETANK" they are small tanks that are remotely controlled. Doesn't sound good.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_tracked_mine
Quote:
The Goliath tracked mine was an unmanned German-engineered demolition vehicle. Employed by the Wehrmacht during World War Two, this caterpillar-tracked vehicle was approximately four feet long, two wide, and one tall. It carried 75–100 kg (165–220 lb) of high explosives and was intended to be used for multiple purposes, such as destroying tanks, disrupting dense infantry formations, and demolition of buildings.

I have tried the first two but not the latest one, yet. those two weren't stegged.

After a little trial and error, I've found a page within the site.

http://enyoproject.t83.net/login

That'll be where our password goes once we translate it.

Upon checking the page source for "login", I found the following.

Quote:
<link rel="contents" href="#navigation" />
<link rel="home" href="/" />
<link rel="index" href="/" />

<link rel="top" href="/" />
<link rel="first" href="/" />
<link rel="help" href="/_app/8296/resources/requirements.html" />


Nothing interesting there yet. It seems as if maybe the site isn't complete yet. We may be moving faster than expected. The requirements page is nothing interesting, just a list of how the site is best viewed. Anyone WhoIs this yet? [/quote]

Yeah, goes to Moonfruit which looks like a build-and-host-your-site-here place.
http://whois.domaintools.com/t83.net

That would explain all of the directories like 'community.'

Any of you with an eye for mechanics and some drawing skills can make a skech of the device presented in schematics? It's probably Goliath and Teletank -like, but it would be interesting to know some details, if they in fact can be seen in that schematic.

EDIT: By the way, Mr. Toasty could you explain again how did you find that image (the one with the kanji)? I'm kind still kind of a noob. Thanks!
EDIT2: Nevermind, I figured it out!

I have Flash installed for Firefox, but not for IE. Going to the site in IE gives the non-Flash version and all of the links are just there. Otherwise, if you have Flash installed, view the page source code and you'll see the links for the images as well. For example, the rooster image link is this near the end:
Code:
a href='/communities/0/004/006/354/300/images/4519882163.jpg'


OK, just saw you figured it out, but I'll leave it for others who may not know where to look.

I know nothing about kanji but doing a quick search on 'rooster' and 'kanji' took me to this:

the second symbol looks suspiciously like the one in the picture. If it matters it also appears that the word for roster is Ondori.

OK so I'm no expert and it's clearly a small part of something much larger but what with all the mech references I'm gonna say the schematics are for some kind of walking tank.

Also I was thinking about what this could all be about and the mechs, army and Japanese connections make me think this could have something to do with the new 'Metal Gear Solid' game which is coming out soon.
