That was Sara at work... She said my dad just called and asked for me
9:25
Rob
Huh
Well, I guess you gotta go
9:26
ConcernedRichard
No... That's the weird part.
My dad is still in England where it's about 2:30 in the morning... Plus, he doesn't know the number to Chryo-Pharm.
Now I'm shitting bricks...


Dun dun dun.... The plot thickens...

I keep forgetting I have that installed and end up doing things the hard way anyway.

 		This may be nothing at all, or it could be what we're looking for - once it's updated (all I get is "Index" so far).

 		blog update from last night

Thursday, 13 March 2008
2 Cups of Coffee and an odd phonecall later...

Alright so, scanning the house I've noticed that nothing has been taken but the tiny amount of personal belongings Nate had in this place are gone... I don't know whether he's run, been kidnapped or what!?

I don't know what to think this is all getting WAY too heavy for my head right now; Thank God for Bianca...

This girl doesn't know me from Adam and here she is sticking with me, making me coffee and allowing me to spill water over her t-shirt so she has to walk around in just her bra before I let her in on the direction of the wardrobe for a clean one... (Ok it happened but I'm only mentioning it to make myself laugh!)

A little while ago whilst I was talking with a really cool and understanding contact who I'll just call "R" for now, I got a phonecall from Sara (the "bird" I mentioned before) - She was still at work and recieved a phonecall supposedly from my dad asking for me.

It was two in the freaking morning in England, my dad would NOT be awake at that hour! Not to mention I've never given him, mum or anyone else back home for that matter, the number to Chryo-Pharm...

I don't think I'm safe here right now and Bi, agrees. She said she's going to take me somewhere I can hang out safetly for a bit; I'll be in contact soon...


I still think the clue we got from the binary is to do with what we are looking for. I mean it did say we are one on the world wide web

 		The site I posted earlier is definitely it. Check the page source for:

Thank God!

We've been hoping someone would find us in quick time... Things are getting really damn tricky and quite out of hand!

We'll be in touch soon enough but just keep tuned to this channel. And remember all is not what it seems!
DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP! Contact me - w3.r0neSPLATgooglemail.com


I am wondering if we need to find a video file?

dposse00: Hello? Is this Richard Matthews from Oxford, England?
ConcernedRichard: It is and you are?
ConcernedRichard: (Sorry need to be careful right now)
dposse00: My name is Dave. I'm working with Rob and a few others to help solve some of the weird stuff you are posting about on your blog.
ConcernedRichard: Ahh you know Rob? That's cool...
dposse00: Yep.
ConcernedRichard: So how are things going? Right now I'm sitting over at Bianca's place just... Waiting
dposse00: I just saw your most recent post, and i believe i know what the back of the page is encoded in. It's hex.
ConcernedRichard: Hex? Right... Dr. Laker spoke about that before...
ConcernedRichard: The letter *apparently* came from his office at the University.
dposse00: You are not sure?
ConcernedRichard: Well, unless it was sent before his untimely death
dposse00: ah.
dposse00: The front of the page is, i believe, more puzzling. There is alot of blacked-out spaces, and an odd notation at the top which i do not recognize
ConcernedRichard: Yes I saw that too... To be honest I think the referencing point of the entire letter is the section in the top left (emblem and weird writing) and the back.
ConcernedRichard: It seems to just be a 'point made' about being from the same network... But then again I could be wrong I haven't looked through the entire letter
dposse00: ah. i understand.
ConcernedRichard: Whoever sent it either didn't want us knowing who it was to, from or what it concerned... Or, those parts just aren't important.
ConcernedRichard: It's definitely Military though whatever it is
dposse00: Military, eh? Could it be Colonel Finch?
ConcernedRichard: No idea. I only say Military because I read the words Iraq and MK77
dposse00: ah, yes.
ConcernedRichard: More than once, also.
dposse00: This has been puzzling me ever since you posted about the Colonel. Why is the Military connected with a Pharmaceuticals company?
ConcernedRichard: I have no idea... Chryo is privately funded... So perhaps they have Military contracts? I mean heat drugs and the like, Soldier's need things like that.
dposse00: That makes sense, i suppose.
ConcernedRichard: But what the heck is going on with the emblem and people disappearing/dying I don't know.
ConcernedRichard: Dr. Laker evidently had some connection... If this did indeed come from his office. Nate's disappeared...
dposse00: What do they have in common? Dr. Laker and Nate, i mean. Perhaps Nate was spooked?
ConcernedRichard: Well as I told, either Rob or Philip. From the week I've known Nate he doesn't seem that kind of guy but, you never know.
ConcernedRichard: And right now the only thing they seem to have in common is they've seen the emblem
ConcernedRichard: It's all too weird for me
dposse00: It is defiently weird.
dposse00: Do you think Dr. Laker's death was really suicide as the Police claim?
dposse00: His death could be connected with Nate
dposse00: Im not saying he killed him...just his disapperence
ConcernedRichard: I don't believe Laker commited suicide however I don't believe that they knew each other either.
dposse00: Laker wasn't the kind of man to commit suicide, eh? What kind of man was he?
ConcernedRichard: He was a little on the flirtatious side with the females... Jokingly of course. He was fun loving, outgoing, slightly outspoken, he commanded respect but never demanded it.
ConcernedRichard: He was well liked by most everybody in both faculty and alumni
dposse00: He didn't have any problem? Financial, professional, ect?
ConcernedRichard: Not that I was aware... His wife and my mum were quite good friends
dposse00: Ah.
dposse00: What was his last project before his death?
ConcernedRichard: Project? What do you mean?
dposse00: Was he working on anything?
ConcernedRichard: Other than teaching us students? Not that I was aware of
dposse00: Hmm. Well, just seeing an emblem....is that enough for murder?
ConcernedRichard: I doubt it, highly doubt it infact...
ConcernedRichard: It's not like the British Armed Forces are a secret organisation.
dposse00: Indeed.
ConcernedRichard: I think it has more to do with information on the documents containing the letterheaded emblem
dposse00: Have you see it before? the emblem?
ConcernedRichard: Only when I went to the War Museum with some friends not too long ago.
dposse00: the War Museum? So, it's a military emblem? Ah, the British Armed Forces?
ConcernedRichard: Yeah
dposse00: Ah, okay. Forgive me, i seem to need some coffee. haha
ConcernedRichard: It's okay Im sorry I'm not explaining it too well...
ConcernedRichard: The Brit Armed Forces Emblem has appeared on all the documents I've found, connected with the MoD (Ministry of Defense)
dposse00: that would make sense.
dposse00: that's some heavy stuff to be involved with, the military
ConcernedRichard: Yeah they tried getting my brother to join when he went all criminal on us, but he wouldn't ever do it
dposse00: Why?
ConcernedRichard: Said he didn't ever take orders from anyone
dposse00: a man after my own heart, haha.
ConcernedRichard: yeah he was always looking out for me... Shame he ended up inide
ConcernedRichard: inside sorry
dposse00: how long?
ConcernedRichard: Not sure... Its a stretch though
dposse00: too bad.
dposse00: tell me, how are you doing around all this strangeness?
ConcernedRichard: Not well to be fair mate... You guys (who I've spoken to since the first email)
ConcernedRichard: Are the only ones I can trust
ConcernedRichard: I don't know if I even trust Bianca right now
ConcernedRichard: Should be careful about saying that though she just woke up and has gone into the kitchen
dposse00: Not being able to trust can drive a man insane
ConcernedRichard: Yeah... Like I said I can't talk to mum and dad, they'd worry. Nate's gone, my friends back home are all taking their first proper holidays since University started
dposse00: I noticed your favorite movies, music and books on your profile. We have the same interests. 1984 was a favorite of mine as well.
ConcernedRichard: Orwell was a God
ConcernedRichard: But you do know his real surname was Blair, right?
ConcernedRichard:
dposse00: Blair, eh? like Tony Blair, or...?
ConcernedRichard: Exactly... Makes you think.
dposse00: haha
dposse00: All of your tastes seem quite political in nature and, if i might say, dystopian as well.
ConcernedRichard: Well... I did also minor in English Lit... You pick up a lot.

He was also a whistleblower for the British Intelligence (Orwell was) did you know that?
dposse00: I was not aware of that. That's interesting
ConcernedRichard: Yeah his dad was a Gov't official working in India (it's where he was born)
dposse00: You seem to be a little bit of a whistleblower yourself, sneaking around and collecting documents...
ConcernedRichard: I found this stuff by accident and fell into a bigger hole than I could have imagined.
ConcernedRichard: I wouldn't say so much a whistleblower as I am a victim of circumstance.
ConcernedRichard: As far as I'm concerned the only way this nightmare will end is if I find out what the bloody hell's going on :-s
dposse00: But, you would "whistleblow" the death of Laker if you had a chance and the evidence, huh?
ConcernedRichard: Oh, of course but see I don't call that whistleblowing... I call that outright handing over a cold blooded murderer to the police. If it turns out he was indeed murdered
dposse00: And if the murder had something to do with the company you work for?
dposse00: what then?
ConcernedRichard: then unless I can figure out whose involved I'm screwed.
dposse00: You're not screwed. Don't forget that you have the people on the internet, looking at your blog, who are here to help you.
ConcernedRichard: That's true, and I appreciate it
dposse00: You have the entire brain power of the internet on your side. You'll be great.
dposse00: Listen, i gotta get going. It seems that my friends have figured out some more clues in this entire thing. I'll contact you later, okay? Stay safe. Stay well.
ConcernedRichard: Ok you too and keep me informed please
dposse00: Of course. Bye.
ConcerenedRichard: C-you



*sigh* I really suck at contacting in game characters.

 		OK I have contacted a new character via the spoilers posted above. This is the email I got in response to my "I found the message, can I help?" email:

Quote:
This is Tim Whitehead. I work for, well used to work for Chryo-Pharmaceuticals. I was hired to help Nathaniel Peterson build the company website

I'm not actually a web developer though, I work for an undercover Ghost-Squad in the United Kingdom; I cannot go into too much detail right now but keep an eye on the site you found the message - More will become clear.

T.W


ETA I responded with:
Quote:
Tim--

Glad to hear you are alive, if not alive and well. What is happening with Chryo? Are they indeed a pharmaceuticals company? It seems as though no one hired for the website has a background in web development?

Ghost squad? Sounds very...video game like.

I understand you are pressed for time and eyes may be watching, I will keep tuned to the site for further messages.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.


I also wrote to the Colonel again with vague references to try to elicit more information from him. I used the POs given in the letters from the "Pigeon hole" but NOT the code in the top left corner.

Ghost-Squad? When i google it, i find references to a old light-gun based arcade game. in there, "Ghost-Squad" stood for "Global Humanitarian Operation and Special Tactics Squad"

 		Tim Whitehead? Heh, Richard mentioned him to me. Said he was with the Prof as far as he knew if I remember (Too lazy to check logs)
I'll guess I'll send an email then.
Also, hooray for Easter Holidays! More time for ARG'ing!
