Why would she leave in a note in a poster Jason made to report her missing? That wouldn't make sense.
I'm sure its just that note. I'm thinking it's like pictionary.
It looks like:
NO TIME .... SAFE
dunno what that thing is. A knot? as in not safe?
A ring? makes sense if that is a phone number in texas.
.
I also thought the crossed out clock also meant no time
Also the face was Martin, so Martin went to Texas
The other 2 pictures im not sure about. Could it be a USB stick been put in a safe ? If so does Jason know if Rebecca owns one?

Don't know if this helps or not but there is a Martin, TX. Maybe the numbers are an address or something.
On the image above the thing beside the safe looks like this hex number 10100101 which is 16 16 1 1 in decimal and EBABAQ== in base 64.

another spec Is it possible that the crossed out clock could be saying NOT 3. then if we put that together we get NOT3 which could be NOTE. Then the hex gives us the combination for the safe as 16 16 1 1 which is where the NOTE is.
edit: never mind it does look like an USB sitick.
so maybe NOT 3, NO TIME, USB in SAFE.
edit 2: or the X-clock means TIMEX

We've got what seems to be
"No time." or "Not Three"
USB In Safe... "No Time - Us Being Safe"? Or am I looking too deep?
USB In safe is similar to what I read about the destegging... It seems Rebecca stegged a photo and Jason now needs to find a USB stick pertaining to Rebecca or Martin to Desteg it... Hence the whole "1000 words encoded in a single picture".
Edit: Oh and btw that number seems more like 010010 than 10100101

yep, I agree with you. notice my first edit in the post above yours. I guess I should have made it more clearer than just saying it looks like an usb stick I should have stated that the first and last 1 where just lines in the drawing. my mistake.
And I agree, there has to be an imaged stegged somewhere.

lol it's cool, I just had to look at them twice...
But I thought maybe NOT3; was ROT3 so I did brute force... But nothing :/
Also I'm wondering if Martin working late before flying off to the U.S had anything to do w/ it....
PERHAPS Jason should visit Martin's place of work?
Edit: I left a message on Jason's blog.

Jason…
The first pic on the left looks like an X'd out clock; maybe "No time"?? A characature of Martin and the map of Texas? - Maybe that's where he is, in the U.S?
Also the other two pics; whilst I may be grabbing @ straws here looks like a USB stick next to a safe or Harddrive… I believe MAYBE Becca held some clues in what's known as a "stegged" image… Where that images is I'm not sure, a couple of us have tried to 'desteg' the images on facebook but to no avail.
I'm also wondering if you should now visit Martin's place of work; his facebook stated he couldn't believe he was working so late or something to that effect… Maybe something could be there? Or, on Becca's PC.
Double Edit: Just tried another approach which was to check on FB as to whether or not you could view either of their friends; sometimes you can... But unfortunately not. - What other "Social networking sites" are there? Because that news report said something about a blog. Unless of course
Rebecca: Rebecca is glad Martin is back from Switzerland.6:34pm
Rebecca changed her profile picture.6:33pm
And
Martin: Martin is wondering why he's always working late.3:52am
Are what we're s'posed to be looking @.
Triple Edit: Damnit, I was about to speak to this "David Flor" person who's been hugging Becca but it seems he's a member of the groups "UnFictioners and ARGers Unite" on Facebook... So fess up! Who're ya!? lol

Where would a stegged image be? It wouldnt be much of a 'help' note if it told you to find a USB but no mention of what it is for/ where to find the image to use it with?
I reckon theres 3 elements to it.
No time
Something in a safe USB SAFE? United states Be Safe?
Martin, Texas and a number.

***sigh...***
That would be ME... Am I "in game" now?
I removed the hugs. Now I have TWO ARGs using my real name.
BTW: Martin lists The Island and Sunshine as his favorite movies. He was *asking* to be kidnapped with that.
Rebecca misspelled The Goonies . Tsk, tsk...

Night I was just kidding around; but figured whoever it was, was on here lol... Was just trying to get you to fess up
Anyway... I'm still certain there's a USB to be found; perhaps a safe back at the office, in Martins workplace or at their home?

I bet his work (presumably at CERN) will be a main contributor of the plot. Perhaps something to do with anti-matter?

Texas---What's in Texas? Could Martin have been wrangled by the good ol' boys at Nasa?
