 		Only just got up. XD As the .OPHs are the same, you'll understand if I don't upload the new ones. ;P I'll add the new photos to my folder, tho, so we can have them all in one place.

On the "several pictures tell a story" theory, what are the timestamps on Rebecca's pictures? And did she have a todo list too, or is it just the pictures and .OPHs?

Edit: And, I'm totally jealous. Her USB stick is better than Martin's - a beat up old 245 MB model. ;(

 		Yeah no that's fine, I've uploaded them here lol... The timestamps are as follows...

me-looking-silly-(again).jpg - 21 February 2008, 02:57:19

fartooserious.jpg - 21 February 2008, 03:12:50

hehehe.jpg - 21 February 2008, 03:12:51

touristsinourhometown - 21 February 2008, 03:12:51

The thing that gets me w/ this is that on jphs it says the pics haven't been modified BUT when checking the timestamps they have modification dates/times on them...

And nope, everything I listed and uploaded is what was on her USB Smile

 		Those timestamps are yesterday, hon. Did you transfer it all to your computer or is that the stamps from uploading them? Looking for the ones on the files on the USB.

LOL I KNOW They're yesterday... Kinda makes me think Timestamps are going to be OOG. - That was straight from the USB Key, remember I only picked it up today?

But again about the modification dates/times. - One of them is earlier than the actual creation time.

 		Hmm. What're the earlier ones, then? Was just confused since the drive was in the library before those times, wasn't it? o.O

 		No, according to Jason he got the fax yesterday so I'm assuming it was put there then...

But the timestamp is only modified I do believe by a few minutes, possibly hours.

 		We need the dates they were created, not the dates modified.

Anyways, I've been working on this and thinking about sending it to Jason. I will wait until everyone has there say about it and if we all agree I will send it.

Note: I may not have all my facts exactly straight but it's close enough, I think.

I'm one of the gang helping you to locate Martin and Rebecca. I thought you might like to know what we found on the USB drives. Although, I'm sure you have already been told, I thought you might want a bit more info. So here goes.

The first one, the one in Dallas, seemed to be Martins and had the files that you can find at this web address.

http://www.boomspeed.com/tiggiefelin/LMF/

All of the pictures from Rebecca's USB dirve can be found at these urls on photobucket.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Dean0Mac/Me-looking-silly-again.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Dean0Mac/hehehe.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Dean0Mac/fartooserious.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Dean0Mac/touristsinourhometown.jpg

The other 6 files on her USB drive were exactly the same as the 6 OPH files on Martin's drive and she did not have a todo.txt file on hers. I noticed that Martin had 5 pictures on his drive while Rebecca had only 4. Don't know if that's important or not. So all together Martin had a total of 12 files and Rebecca had 10.

On each drive the Auth_002.OPH through Auth_6.OPH seem to be the same. The Auth_001.OPH seems to be different from the other 5. At this point we do not know what to do with these files as they seem to decode to gibberish. Maybe you have some idea. On Martin's drive all the oph files were added on January 21, 2008 and all the pictures were added on February 9, 2008.

What do you know about Project Ophiuchus? So far, we have very little info on them. As you may have heard before Dani Keller (may not be his real name) seems to be the one in charge.

Since Martin added the .oph files to his usb drive on January 21, he would have still been in Switzerland at that time. But he added the pictures on February 9, a little after 1 am. (not sure if that's Dallas time or UK time) Well about Ferbruay 5th Project Ophiuchus reported that Participant 13 was dead. And around the date that you said Martin and Rebecca were last seen was also about the same time that Project Ophiuchus reported that Phase 12 was delayed it just so happens that AA flight 2361 was delayed by 157 minutes at that time. According to the note you found in Rebecca's office we believe that Martin may have been on that flight. On February 6, Project Ophiuchus reported that a participant arrived safely. This all may not be connected but it's starting to look like it is. And the participant that arrived safely may have been Martin. However, a few days later the site reported that Phase 12 had been aborted. Then finally contact was made with Dani and this is what he says:

Quote:
Dear Participants,

Please bear with me, there's a lot to explain and until now the whole
operation's been very secret. You'll understand that people are trying to
sabotage Project Ophiuchus, of which each phase concentrates on a particular
area, or healing point.

Phase 12 has now unfortunately been aborted, and I'm getting phase 13 ready as
we speak. Some of you may have heard about Participant 13. I can confirm that
he was killed whilst carrying out his duties for Phase 12. As you may have
guessed, I'm in Spain currently, attending to the situation, and helping the
authorities with their inquiries. I hope you'll appreciate that we've never
lost a participant, as our work is so groundbreaking and for the good of
humanity. It's upsetting to think that someone could do such a thing.

You may have been told that Phase 13 is the most important part of the project
and to some extent this is true. Each phase is modular, with Phase 13 being
the climax. I'm sure you're wondering what Phase 13 is, and I can tell you!
For this Phase, we're collating sets of co-ordinates, locations of miraculous
activity across the globe, and properties related to them. We've just secured
a huge grid of computers to process the data, to find patterns and work out
why and how they happen. Of course, this sounds a little far fetched, and I
can understand you may be a little apprehensive about the final phase, but I
can assure you that we have scientists and engineers from across the globe
working with us. In a few days time, you'll be able to log-in to the private
area, to analyse data yourself, and to confirm project results. This is a very
important part of the project, if the data isn't authorised, we can't find any
patterns.

Phase 13 will take our belief of using knowledge to heal the world to a new
level, and hopefully there'll be no more disruptions like we've seen with
Phase 12.

Thanks for your continued support in this project. Your appointed
administrator for Phase 13 is Participant 170. They will be contacted soon
with more information. Sit tight. In a few days you'll be able to start
helping the world!

Please note: Recruits 143, 150 and 121 haven't responded to last night's
message. Please ensure they are informed of the situation.



As you can see there are three recruits missing 143, 150 and 121 we believe that Martin and Rebecca may be two of them. Project Ophiuchus says so in an around about way. I'm sure you have noticed on there website in the source code it says:

Quote:
!--Participants identified as being dedicated to mars, and a maiden of beauty, modesty, and kindness.-->


It just so happens that Martin means dedicated to mars and Rebecca means a maiden of beauty, modesty and kindness. So, I'm pretty sure that Martin and Rebecca are two of the recruits they are looking for. Why they haven't found them is the mysterious part.

I think that Martin and Rebecca don't want to be found by Project Ophiuchus and I think that it is them that are sending you the faxes. I think it is there way of communicating with each other. Since the oph files seem to be identical, I don't think they are important but that the message lies in the pictures. And even though we may not know what they mean, I'm sure Martin and Rebecca do.

The bad part is this. There is a big possibility that Project Ophiuchus has a mole/spy watching your site. He or she appears to be posting in your comments as 24601.

Due to that fact, I think until we know more about Project Ophiuchus we need to make sure that the pictures get posted so that Martin and Rebecca can see them and know what their messages are. But, the emphases from us needs to be put on the OPH files to mislead the mole/spy into thinking that's where the secret lies.

If I'm right and we manage to figure out what Martin and Rebecca are saying to each other, iIt would be best for now to keep that kind of conversation strictly to email and not post it on your website.

Ok, I'm getting tired. And my thoughts are beginning to scramble. I'm sure you know what I mean and if you agree or disagree please let me know. I will inform the others and if I've missed anything they will fill you in.

Sylvia.

 		Ok without trying to sound like I'm being hostile, I'm not stupid... I know what was being looked for and that's what I gave.

All I said was the modified date on one of the pics was earlier than the created date... Which seemed slightly odd to me. And I've never really seen modified dates on photos when they've just been created so I assumed maybe there was something off about them.

Secondly... As far as I recall it was a unanimous decision that we'd tell Jason about the photographs and to do list (which have both been done) but maybe hold off on the .oph files

But just a sidenote. All 12 files seem to be pretty much the same except the fact both 001's are around 10kb higher than the 2-6's.

Now as far as giving him the P.O info goes, I'll leave that to you all who started out P.O to decide, I'm not getting involved in that one - But the cencus from what I remember about the lmf files was to not say too much about it. - I sent him an email when I got back from the find today. I know someone told him pretty much about everything on Martin's USB except the .oph files and this is my email.

Quote:
J,

Hey bro, I know RoseKittyEllie already emailed you to let you know I successfully retrieved the second object which was indeed another USB Key; this time it's Rebecca's one.

The key contains only four photographs of Becca and Martin all which seem to be taking whilst "touring" London; around Buckingham Palace and such; along with that? Just more cryptics... But now we have both sets of info I'm sure we'll be able to pull something out of this. - We're going to do our damndest...

Will keep you posted,

-L


Edit: I've just noticed Martin added the photos on Feb 9th which means he definitely made the Seminar on LHC.

 		Sry, Leyton... I know you're not stupid, it's just I aslo know I'm not the best at wording things well. XD Near as I can guess on the created and modified times being different - it was the PM trying to make the pictures fit into a timeline where he wanted them to. Change the calendar settings on your computer and modify a file, and the modify will be earlier than the created. Probably an OOG fluke like the hidden binary problem was.

I'd save your email, Sylvia, (cause good GODS is that a lot of info, good job) and hold off on it for now until something happens. We still don't know how much Jason is supposed to know about PO already, and the whole mystery as to whether he's the third missing participant, whether his goal to find the other two is beneficial or detrimental to them/PO, and whether we're supposed to be helping PO or stopping them. We still don't even know what PO is doing. Seeing how the story develops for now seems the wisest move.

 		It's fine Zara I wasn't speaking to you lol...

It was that which kind of upset me. It seemed to imply I was being slow or something and didn't know what was being asked of me. - I'm sure it wasn't mean that way which is why I said I didn't mean to come across as hostile or anything.

ANYWAY! I don't want to be the cause of any rift here, I have absolutely nothing against anyone doing whatever they feel necessary to keep the ball rolling here and I agree Sylvia's email is a DAMN FINE one with so much info there! If ya'll decide to go ahead w/ this idea of sending J all the info so far - That email has to be the way to do it for definite!

I was going to (as I discussed w/ RoseKittyEllie on msnger earlier) Let J know the files we need to decrypt were set up as .oph if he ever got back to me.

But the fact he's being so quite is slightly [IG at least] worrying esp' considering the sensitive nature of what we've found now; both pickups... OOG it could just be because it's a Friday night; Lord knows he's probably getting rat-arsed with friends right now and I don't know, as I asked in the P.O thread, whether or not this game has been running weekend things - But whilst I played 48 Hours in Purgatory, nothing much was done between Friday's and Monday's.

 		Lol, even PMs have to take a night off sometimes. ;P When you said he was probably out drinking with friends I immediately thought of him and the other PO PMs (assuming it'd take more than one person to run this circus) going "And then, and then? We could totally put something in one of the files, like, like, talking about monkeys or some shit. Nothing to do with anything, just fuckin' with them! They'd NEVER figure it out! lawlzpwnd! XD"
