 		Greek. Here's the first sentence:
Quote:
Σάββατο πέντε Απριλίου μια πύλη μεταξύ της ώρας
δέκα έξι της ώρας δεκαοχτώ

which translates to:
Quote:
Saturday of five April a gate between the hour of ten six hour eighteen

from babelfish or
Quote:
Saturday April five a gateway between the hours
Sixteen of eighteen hours

according to google.
Heading to lunch - I'll do more later if it's not done in the next hour.

ETA
Second sentence, but one word wrong so far:
Quote:
Επιδιώξτε μια γυναίκα που αχαντά στο όνομα Gaia.

translates to
Quote:
Seek a woman that ahanta' in the name Gaia.

 		Transcript - needs help:

Quote:

Welcome to the echelon. The ???????? sleeps and stays awake, walking. Collect the token and hold it patiently. The images are all you need.


Then there's about 40 seconds of a baby crying before a knife or sword sound silences it.

The ??????? part sounds like "wall bell" or "wall nell" but I don't know what it actually says.

 		The second sentence is
Quote:
Επιδιώξτε μια γυναίκα που απαντά στο όνομα Gaia.

which translates to
Quote:
Seek a woman that answers in the name Gaia.


Gaia is the goddes of the Earth in ancient Greek mythology. In modern mythologies, pagan or Wiccan (I can't remember which), Gaia is the spirit of the living Earth. This could relate back to the earlier clue about "no website or email just a planet"

 		I would take a stab at the next couple of sentences, but I don't know how you did that. How did you make the characters to feed into the translator?

 		Nevermind, I figured it out. Got this:

Quote:
Περψένειστη βάση του πύργου.
Πάρτε τι δίνει αλλά δεν συζητά με την.


Which is this
Quote:
Perbe'nejsti base of tower. Take what gives but it does not discuss with.


Obviously that first word is off somehow.

 		Complete translation
Okay, got it figured out:

Quote:
Σάββατο πέντε Απριλίου μια πύλη μεταξύ της ώρας δέκα έξι της ώρας δεκαοχτώ
Επιδιώξτε μια γυναίκα που απαντά στο όνομα Gaia.
Περιμένει στη βάση του πύργου.
Πάρτε τι δίνει αλλά δεν συζητά με την.


Babelfish:
Quote:
Saturday of five April a gate between the hour of ten six hour eighteen.
You seek a woman that answers in the name Gaia.
It waits for in the base of tower.
Take what gives but it does not discuss with.


Google Translation:
Quote:
Saturday April five a gateway between the hours Sixteen of eighteen hours
Aim for a woman who answered to the name Gaia.
It waits at the base of the tower.
Take what gives but does not debate with.


So, Saturday the 5th between 4PM and 6PM, someone named Gaia will be waiting in the base of the tower. Take what she's giving, but don't ask her about it?

 		Morse code in the video translates to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
WELCOME TO THE ECHELON. IF YOU CHOOSE TO COLLECT THE TOKEN M

It would seem we need more to finish the statement.

For thebruce's sake I hope the end of the statement isnt:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

or something along those lines.
