Not a lot, but some. We found a backdoor in the KSW site, kosmopol had a couple long chats with Erika, and she put up a blog. Tuesday starts here.


@kosmopol Yippee. I'd guess she'd be afraid if your friend was Japanese....

Alrighty then. New info sometime this weekend at least thats something, I cant wait to get home from work and see if I have any Email waiting for me.

From the chats Kos has posted and some of the things Erika has said, I dont think she trusts the Japanese. Which makes me wonder why did she make her blog "Japanese Style" ?

Yep. Password is SIBERIA. I skimmed over it, it's a few diagrams and an exerpt of some document from the U.N. Lots of small text, too lazy to read it.

Now there's something... KSW?
Still looking through the pdf. I have the pw, but how can I unlock it to put it on the wiki? Locked version for now I guess...

ETA: KSW has updated with a new flash movie. Stuff in there but I can't catch it... Looked Japanese.

As Kos mentioned, I chatted with Erika, too. I think this party is still invite-only, though, so ask Kos first if you want to contact her.

Quote:
me: Hello Erkia Very Happy
4:09 PM Erika: Hi LLLIDAN
me: Uh oh. Foods ready. Brb
Sorry
Erika: ok
bye bye
me: I'll talk to you when I get back, if you're still here Very Happy
Erika: ok
Go eat some fish Smile
7 minutes
4:17 PM me: Here we go, I'm back for now. Got more food cooking though, so I might have to leave again
Erika: what kind of fish are you eating?
me: Shrimp.
Erika: oh ok
4:18 PM altough they are hardly fish Smile
me: Well, they live in the sea. It's close enough
Erika: where do you live?
is it hot there?
4:19 PM me: Ummm... I'm just sort of following Hans around from a fair distance, keeping him safe.
Weather's fairly nice right now Very Happy
Erika: yes, hans is online
but he wont say anything
internet coffee wont let him talk i guess
4:20 PM me: Yeah. Or maybe he's eating right now, too Wink
Erika: ok he is back now
why do you seek flames? (Illy's note: She's referencing my gmail alias, Illidan Flameseeker. LONG STORY DON'T ASK.)
4:21 PM me: Huh? Oh, because they're fun and pretty XD
Erika: I guess.
why are you helping hans?
me: I was assigned to do it. Plus, I met him from another assignment a while back
4:22 PM He's a nice guy Very Happy
Erika: what do you mean? other assingment. you are an outsider. are you saying hans works for someone else too?
me: No, no.
4:23 PM By "Assigned" I mean my other friends were too lazy to go help, so I kinda got stuck doing it XD
"Assigned" sounds nicer, though Wink
4:24 PM Erika: I guess.
dont forget to cook your food
me: Yesyes. It takes a while, so I'm fine right now Very Happy
4:25 PM Erika: what kind of shrimp is it?
my pet loves to eat shrimp
me: Ummm... I dunno. It just says "Shrimp" on the bag XD
What kind of pet do you have?
Erika: guess
4:26 PM me: Ummm...
Dog?
Erika: too big, but we have something like that. at least Tyr's favorite pets are like dogs
but they are big and have huge paws
wolfs?
no, no dogs for me
4:27 PM me: Oooh. Wolfs are nice. Especially the little cubs Very Happy
Lemme guess again...
Something smaller than a dog...
A bird?
Erika: yes is a bird
me: Yaay Very Happy
4:28 PM I have a bird, too. A little yellow cockatiel Very Happy
Uh oh. More food.
Brb.
4:29 PM Erika: no, mine is bigger!


Things to note:
1. She knew I was eating seafood O_o
2. Even more creepy, she knows my semi-catch phrase/psuedo-insult, "Go eat some fish" >_> I don't think I've ever used it here, so she must be watching me on some other forums I go to. EEEEEEEEEK.
3. She knew I was an outsider. Shit. Me and Kos were hoping that I could pose as a KSW agent from Australia.
4. Tyr likes canines, wolves in particular. I like his taste in animals Very Happy X from Conspriacy 08 liked doggies, too, but that's probably unimportant. [meta]Maybe the PM is hinting that he likes doggies? [/meta]
5. Erika has a bird of some sort. Bigger than a cockatiel, smaller than a dog.

I'm not sure how much of this is relavent, but... The first three things I listed there scared the hell out of me XD

Edited out some emoticons because the forums were mistaking it for HTML or something D:

@Pancito: I remember the dudes on Nowheremen had a way to view .flv files frame by frame after extracting them. I think you're supposed to open it with quicktime or something.

I think based on Erika's description of her bird and the fact that it likes shrimp, that it is a penguin. This would also give us her location as either extreme south america or antartica. I believe the bird is meant to point us in that direction. Also her questions about "is it warm where you are"

Random tangent: Has anyone gotten any responses from Tyler? I asked him about the metal ball a long time ago, and heard nothing back.

Also, Ellie/Mary seems to have vanished from the nets, too. Haven't seen her online in a while.

Enigma

I semi brute-forced the Enigma. Wheels are I,IV,V. Letter set is day of the week in English. (Attempt # 17) Smile

Title of blog decodes as (spaces inserted):

MAKINA PRODUCTION IS COMPLETE VIRUS WEISSE WEIHNACHT IS STILL UNDER RESEARCH

I take it to mean they have all of their UFOs. 800 of them?

OK, I've done my bit. I don't read Japanese (I assume), speak German or hear Morse.

Wikidot seems to be down at the moment, but I'll update at some point unless someone beats me to it.

@lordillidan>> No one has said anything about emails. Erika seems to be the only one active.

@pancito - great job with Enigma!

Now we know, "Weisse Weihnacht" (White Christmas) is a virus. Making people "white" (in rassistic term and meaning?)? Killing everybody who isn't "white"?

Let's speculate.

Erika said
Quote:
there are several stages.
i think the first one will occur in 135 days from now
and should start having its horrible efffects a month later
then stage two.
.
If she mean the "Weisse Weihnacht" virus, and if we take "Olympic Clean Water Project", so we can suppose, on the Olympic in Beijin the virus will be exposed (Stage 1) and - what?.. If we think about these "advanced hygiene filters"... I have ungood feeling about that... Perhaps - as wild speculation - they use Olympic as a possibility all the countries to come together, and after these sportsmen/women and foreign spectators come back home, they bring (without knowin about it) the virus into their various countries. (Stage 2?)

優生学 means Eugenics. But why in Japanese?..

@Illy
[META]Cool to read the parallel conversation Smile
Btw, our PM/PMs(?) are really smart - I had also kinda thrilling when Yori told me, she will send me Cloverfield ticket from Japan (because I'm collecting these Tickets - in my blog and in Cloverfield thread at uF) Shocked [/meta]

And I'm glad, it's Pinguin. Somehow.
