I'm in Reddy *one million* company GB?

Edit: I can't find a good photo [big enough] but nightsalive seems to be correct, it looks right.

I also found a couple of these questions interesting... Especially #s 3 and 8.

Could the overscored "M" be another way to express "mister"?
As in http://www.mrreddy.co.uk/

The only other thing I could think is that it's pointing at
*something*.mil.co.uk
But the military and commercial nodes would seem to be at odds.

don't know if it means anything or not but there are 9 letters on each side of the M.

Total noob here, so forgive ignorance. I've read the entire thread (mostly) and the PO wiki but I may have missed some stuff trying to get up to speed. Anyway, some questions.

USB stuff:
I know someone did a hex translation of the .oph files, but how about from there to ascii? Anyone tried to make a B&W picture of the data 0=white 1=black? Usually you'd need a size of the frame for that, though. There are two unique .oph files (_01 & _02) correct? Then can we assume 03 thru 06 are place holders?

I'm in reddy:
R13 is dead. 'I know you're looking for me. You don't need to know who I am...' The only people Jason is looking for are Martin & Rebecca. PO is/was looking for a third recruit--is it established that this third recruit is R13? No wait. Jason looking for sender of the faxes. Doh. The message was written by a Brit (not surprising)... Americans say 'organization...is'

Martin in Texas:
see Superconducting Super Collider. not important at all, but...

The white/black thing a pretty good idea, actually... Frame size is the only problem there. Sad

R13 is thought to be dead, yes, but faking death isn't such a hard thing. Sergei (guy saying "Kral is dead") could have been in on it, explosions could have been involved so identifying the body was harder, etc. My pet theory was that Jason is the third missing participant, but he'd have to be feigning ignorance pretty hard at this point so I doubt it now.

I'm thinking that Irving, TX is going to come into play at some point.... Near Dallas, relates back to the Henry Irving statue, and sister city to where Martin went to school. Something's going to happen there, I just know it.

Are you looking at the character map for the font? If so, an exclamation point is the first character in any font. It's the first printable non-space ascii character.

I can't seem to get any where with either a rot or a vigenere but with the M and R13 it's just begging to be rotated. Maybe the names of the pictures are too.

Also notice that Jason changed the name of the one pic that said "MeAndBecs" to "Mebecs." Also pay attention to the words actor/pose/posing makes one think of a model or something along those lines. "These premises only" could be only here, just here, etc.. "LOL" laughing, happy, etc.. What would "Never able to escape" and "Swiss" mean? and notice that Jason changed the capital S in swiss to a lower case s. "Myspace" either myspace.com or some other blog. "Apparently hes an actor," Henry Irving. Other than what Zaranai suggested about Irving TX. I don't know.

Would the two number inside the texas picture from Rachel's office give you a frame size?

If that line over the M was added it's the roman numeral for a million.

The company is interested in the work Martin is doing: LHC

Oh and that's an I no an exclamation point. The font just looks like that

@Sarah - the numbers were the American Airlines flight numbers that were used in PO and guessed to be the flights Marting took to get to Texas.

@Zii - the 'I' in the picture is not intended to look like a '!' as far as the font itself is concerned. The font is what is called a 'grunge' font, usually meaning it has a distressed look as if it is old or has been scratched. Old typewriter looking fonts fall under this as well. However, that's not saying it wasn't an intentional choice by the note maker for that similarity.

@ Pancito: I did all kinds of translatory stuff w/ the .oph files found on both USB sticks, and with the photographs too.

The Irving Statue except for possibly the name has nothing to do w/ Irving TX because London isn't the twin city, Merton in Oxford is... The H.I statue is in Charing Cross, the center of London.

And yeah the I in I'm isn't an ex'mark... It was made to look like that, if you look through the whole phrase a lot of letters are 'painted on'
