[TRAILHEAD] Yori ^______________^

Yori ^______________^


Sent from: tanaka.yoriSPLATgmail.com

I attached the song that was attached to the e-mail

I was not one of the lucky ones to recieve an e-mail, so I sent yori and e-mail

Quote:
SubjectI lost the original e-mail.....

But, thanks for the song, pretty neat, What kind of corporate censors were you worried about?


I got the automated reply that stated

Quote:
Private emails are prohibited to our employees during working hours.


A few minutes later I recieved this

Quote:
That is no problem at all. i attached the song here in case that you lost it. The censors are from the corporation I work for ofcourse. I think they will soon notice me, so I might not reply to you anytime soon. I don't want to lose my job, although lately I have been really bored. I used to be really busy all the time as head secretary, but now days the CEOs and big timers have been up to something big. They dont really do anything that is usual, just sound only top secret meetings with other companies and some creepy Germans that have been here for the last month or so. They are planning something I guess, doesnt matter as long as I get paid dont you think?.

Nice to meet you Johny. And I apologize for my english.

^______________^
~Yori


I found that interesting, and pretty personal, so I sent this reply

Quote:
Thanks for the second copy of the song

If you dont mind me asking, what corporation do you work for? Any Idea what the "creepy" germans are there for?

Its all good though as long as you get paid though, lol

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with

John Benson


I was about to end this post, but I just now got this e-mail

Quote:
I cant really write the name of the corporation, it will immediately pop up on the screens of the censors ofcourse. The corporation that i work, among with other firve, are subsidiaries of a greater corporation in Germany. From what ive heard there is a lot of movement as they all seem to be working together for a single goal.

I just hope that you enjoy the song, is one of my favorites. Although I also love sinatra and the beetles. is almost 2 30, i need to deliver some files. Ill talk to you some other time Smile

~Yori


This is getting pretty interesting for sure.

I sent this back

Quote:
Talk to you later, let me know if you need anything from me.

John


This is my first trailhead post, so Im not sure I did everything right.

Just got something around the same tune a few minutes ago, after a little banter.

Hi Mike!

I have been really bored lately here at work. The only thing I do nowdays is simply order food for the CEOs. All they do now is meetings with some Germans. Well i decided to randomly send emails to people, I also got replies from a cheddar knight and queen!. Sorry If i scared you or disturbed you.

I think they will soon notice this, so dont expect another email soon, I hope that you enjoy the song, make sure you listen to it very very carefully. Songs have wonderful messages inside. I dont want to get fired, so I have to go.

Sorry about my english.

^____________^
~Yori


I guess we start with the song.

In the song...

There seems to be morse in the middle of the song. Or, at least it sounds like Morse code, using the long dash and short dot to make up words/letters. It is right in the middle of the song if you can't hear it. If anyone is good at slowing things down or could figure out what is where, we could translate.

There's a Morse translation tool on unfiction's online tools page, as well as Morse charts and whatnot. I downloaded Audacity but never got around to installing it, I'll try to do that tonight although somebody will probably have this decoded by the time I figure it out.

OK, adding a spoiler for now.

Here is what I get for the code:

Just a note regarding the filename: those are two unicode values for kanji (I'm assuming that explains the very English song following talk about j-pop).

The kanji are 復讐 (fukushuu), which you should be able to see if you have a Japanese language pack installed on your OS. It translates to "vengeance".

By the way, johnnybmoto, what time was it that Yori sent the email saying it was almost 2:30? That'll narrow down where she actually lives.

Great find Mr.Toasty. I checked that address (http://enyoproject.83.net) and all it's incarnations I could think of, but no hits yet.

Well, due to being in school I can't see anything except the image because of a lack of Flash.
On the image though there seems to be backwards text added in areas. It's easy enough recogniseable from the text actually in the image when looked at closely. Looks to be encoded as well.

Excellent! I don't think I missed a T, but I'll doublecheck my morse.

Looking at the source for the site gives the link to the background image of course:
LINK

but it also gives this image:
LINK



ETA:
The lines of code in the background image are:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ekh emd qhco

cqii fhetksut yd sxydq

kdcqddut qjjqsa luxysbu

qkhehq mybb sbuqh jxu mqo veh jxuc

tuiywdut yd zqfqd


which is a substitution cipher for:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
our own army

mass produced in china

unmanned attack vehicle

aurora will clear the way for them

designed in japan


There are also a couple kanji added to the image, which I think are the following, although the first may be wrong:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
メ力

call me a n00b, but yori said he/she worked for a subsiduary of a large german company, who couldnt be named. yori then went on to say that he/she liked the "beetles", which is a typo of "beatles". however, volkswagen is a massive german company and one of their most famous cars was the beetle. he/she also apologised for his/her english. perhaps a clue to draw us to the typo?

neil

EDIT TO AVOID DOUBLE POST: what do the letters on the black and red image read?

trust no-one, they want it all ~y ?
