 		Try searching 'usa.' It brings up a video titled 'The Tulsa Operation.' I was about to search that when SearchNET booted me.

 		@ Dude: see emergencysubnet.blogspot.com

searching for The Tulsa Operation gives the below image. Tulsa Operation gives the underground subway vid. Tulsa gives the Tulsa vid

Googling "The Tulsa Operation" doesn't give any results

I beg to differ. I searched it and got a few pages. But this was one from Feb 26th this year.

 		Better method for viewing the videos
See here for how to download videos and view them slowly to capture those flashes of info:

@ Leyton, Sorry, I meant I did see anything the look IG. That certainly doesn't look IG?

 		No offence dude and I can see where ur comin from but to me the stuff Shermco work around seems definitely IG now I'm more than 85% sure it's OOG I'm js saying that it's plausable this kind of machinery could have caused problems is it not? I mean for example it could have been this machinery which blasted through the concrete in the pic above.

Also this isn't going to update until tomorrow as in England it's a "Bank Holiday" today so the final two days on the publicnet are tomorrow and Wednesday - But sidenote: If you type "camelford" as in Camelford House in the searchnet you get the following photo. I'm sure the sunlight reflection onto the building is an RL kind of sign maybe for "Royal London" as in Royal London Hospital in East London... Not sure though.

I can't believe that it wont be updated because of a bank holiday. Ah well.
Anyways, the letter R you were talking about: I do agree it looks like it could be Royal London, but it looks much more like The 'R' from the personal coat of arms of the Queen, ER which stands for Elizabeth Regina.
What do you think Leyton?

The R in the shadow would be the last letter in the phrase if you were looking at the actual sign. and the L would have to be backwards. It's probably an I

Well as for not updating it goes; they've not been updating through the weekend(s) at all and BHMonday is just like a Sunday so that's prob why.

As for how the R is, yeah you could be right on that but at the same time I wouldn't know about the L... If we were to look over at that building though it would look more like "JR" as its reflected from the sun.

@Natas it could be an I but you can see the bottom horizontal line from a back to front L there and it looks very much like those're the only 2 letters on the sign.

It's also pretty cool to note that the Secret Service (MI6) Building is just literally down the road lol

 		@ leyton; No offense taken (other than your spelling of offence, which we all know is properly spelled offense Wink )

That image of the concrete must be the radiation shielding provided by 18" of concrete. The wavy lines and nucleus at the center of the image seem to indicate that. It would work out to be ~8.1818... half-thicknesses (which is the typical measure of gamma radition reduction in material that reduces it by half 2.2" in the case of concrete). However, the graphic isn't quite accurate if this is the case, since with gamma radiation, about 4% of the radiation would get though 18" of concrete, not 1%. It could be a higher density concrete such as ducrete. Or it could be that we weren't neat to ponder such trivialities, given the obviousness of the clues so far Laughing

..... It's spelled offence. Don't forcec us to tell you that it was the English who invented the language! The americans just ruined it Wink
But the gamma part of the post is spot on. Its also a fairly accurate diagram of protection from thermobaric technologies.

 		getting somewhere?
lo

new day and new vid. word "fax" appears several times and unlocks a pdf of the document she finds in the paddington green station from camelford house.

it has the subject of "vapor echo" highlighted in yellow. next to it in hand writing it says "txt 82252" also in yellow.

if you do text the keyword to the number a message and a link to

"http://maiasturn.mobi/vapour"

this links to some picuture thumbnails on a phone. the resolution of my phone is sh*t so i cant make them out very well.

anyone else get a better look?

 		more info
sorry to post again so soon

the first picture on the phone link is a scribbled "11-19". When put into the searchnet you get another vid of maia in the street and in the park.

two groups of letters are highlighed in grey on the new fax pdf like c,o, and e before. these are "PG" and "TO"...

interesting, the MOD have a magnetic testing base on portland bill. that may explain the use of portland house in the mr. s picture, where the other buildings had been photoshopped out. probably reading too much into it as most of the puzzles are being handed to us on a plate

enjoy

ok just texted 'Vapor echo' to 82252.
I got a series of pics:
1) The numbers 11-19 above a fence,
2) A shadowed fence(which looks military)
3) Union Jack imposed over some trees with a crow.
4) and so on for a few more pics. Just indistinct pictures of a fence.
Interestingly enough it has a SubNET style battery meter and Signal bars, to fit in with the dodgy looking website.
A quick Google of 'Vapor echo' finds a few sites dedicated to chemical/optical effects ie: Resononance in potassium.

And so it goes on....

 		Ok it's odd that they uploaded this one later than usual, but guess they've been busy. Here's the [possible] transcript of the Vid: day 11.

Quote:
Ok to explain, I'm at Paddington Green police station, I know... But I came here to find something to arm myself with... Pepperspray anything; and then I found this. "Terror threat alert - Critical. Intelligence indicates that a major incident may be planned for tonight" And that's it but, I mean... Where's Camelford House? Embankment, ok. I need to find... [Searching through stuff - End]


As "Slime" said if you type Fax in the searchnet you get the document which Maia reads out it's posted at the bottom. Again as Slime said if you txt the highlighted words "Vapor Echo" to the number provided you get the link.

Go to the site [which can only be done via mobile/cell] You'll get a few photos...

One has the 11-19 scribbled across it

The second is a group of buildings I can't work out w/ "SubNET" written on it.

The third seems to have writing but I can't work that out. It also has a crow/blackbird and the Union Jack on it.

The fourth is indecipherable... Someone who has better phone res is going to have to look @ this.

Fifth pic has a bunch of railings all different in colour and the emblem of the British Army or something.

The final one has SubNET on it again and is a glass building.

Edit: I'm enlarging them and hopefully storing to my phone to upload them.
