Yeah, I think so too. I have the rumpelstiltskin story copied into Word, and I'm highlighting the letters as we get them, so I don't have to turn my computer in a circle to read 'em. I'll update as we find more clues.

*Edit* e-mails with AftermathGirl08 about Jen:

Quote:
Hi, I was just wondering, as I see you know Karen and David, if you happened to know a Jennifer O'Sullivan, too. Her name's appeared on a website that seems to be connected to collecting evidence and documents of David's, and I was just wondering who she was; maybe she can shed some light on where Karen and David are. Thanks for your help!

Quote:
I only David through the site, but I know that Karen and him are friends from her old job. Altough I did notice David mentioning Jen in his blog a few times....would this be the Jennifer that you're refering to?

Quote:
It might be the same Jen; that's part of what I'm trying to find out. Where did David and Karen use to work, out of curiosity?

Jennifer O'Sullivan mentions a "Karen" on her webpage ... I don't believe in coincidences that large, so I'd say it's a safe bet that Karen and Jennifer know each other.

I also looked around at the page; the blog entries are dated quite a while ago, but whois.com lists jensliterarynonsense.com as being created 2008-04-02. The ikillyouwithmybrainsplatgmail.com address appears on jensliterarynonsense.com ... I know we were reluctant to call Jen until we were sure she was an ARG character, but if the email address is on a clearly ARG site, is it fair game?

Jennifer is the Jen he mentions in his blogs. She's the hacker who helped David pull that prank on Karen by deleting all her files on her birthday.

Alice is at it again, and if we crack this, I think there's a new site for us.

New post of Aftermath:

Quote:
I C is an Identity
I C is an Encryption
I C TYEN not
I C you at www dot


I'm gonna work on puzzling it out

*Edit*, new response from AftermathGirl08

Quote:
Well I know that that Karen worked for an identity encryption company in dundalk if thats any help


I'ma thank her and request that if she thinks of anything else that she lets us know.

*Son of Edit* Dropped the ball on this one, guys. The full text of the post is:
Quote:
I C is an Identity
I C is an Encryption
I C TYEN not
I C you at www dot
> > > > > I C TYEN notI C you at www dot


The underlined bit is hidden on the page, you have to highlight to see it. Will update as events warrant.

http://www.identicryption.com/ is what you get when you put together identity and encryption and take away the TYEN...get it?

I haven't looked around but there is the website you are looking for.

Yay i figured something out!

*edit* also noted that "identicryption" is an anagram of "tiny prediction" i believe

Nicely done. There's a link there to another site, but not sure if that will be useful at all (doesn't look like it now).

Well their product is logistically impossible. But, then again, adopting a "space monkey" is somewhat far fetched, too...

And a security company that is "...currently experiencing difficulties dealing with file transfer protocols..." just makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over. Wink

What the hell is a "Non-Executive Director" anyway?!?

The main IC site's "Contact Us" page doesn't work. This site's does. *hint, hint!*

We've got David and Jen's employee numbers: 4896P and 7648J, respectively.

One of David's memos mentions a new pin number: "LASER 5833"

I bet that'll act as a password in some combination with his name or employee number to access the Identicryption logins. I just haven't found the right combination yet ...

I sent an email to Jen, just to see if I hear back

Quote:
Hey Jen -

I've been trying to get ahold of David or Karen, but I haven't seen them for a while ... it's like they fell down a rabbit hole! Maybe I need to find someone to go down after them; any suggestions? Razz

Anyway, send me a note if you're free to talk. I liked your last blog entry on your literature site, btw; when are you going to update it?

-B


I tried to be covert, just in case ... I'll update when/if I hear back from her

Edit: Heard back immediately:

Quote:
Hey guys,

I'm currently out of office. Thanks for your email. I'll get back to
you as soon as I can.

Page 21 is pages from 2 different books, one about hacking and one about XML security. I can't tell if either of them are the same book as in Page 24 (or if the pages on Page 24 are the same book as each other ... )

The hacking book is open to a page about DoS attacks ... I wonder if that's what he pulled at Identicryption. Perhaps he got Jennifer to help him out with all her l33t hacking skills, and she's underground now too.

Hi all this is my first ARG, I'm getting setup at unfiction as we speak. Just checking the aftermath08 forums and came across this post:
"

The envelope is plain white and the card is whit with a black banner and a little orange and white logo. Inside it is written 'Please help. call 0833563498'
"
... oops turns out it is David's work number! Durh!

Yeti, we have an e-mail of the phone message here:
http://aftermath08.com/media/phone.mp3

If you really want to hear it. I think it's since been removed. There's a transcript way back in the thread if you don't feel like decoding heavy Irish accents.

Jen is suffering from sickle cell anemia, according to page 25. A sickness that appears in Africa mostly (hm?) and shortens lifespan a lot. It's also recessive, which means both of her parents are (were?) carrying sicke cell disease genes.

Page 21 it mentions Alice directly in relation to a symmetric key. Both Alice and the key are repeated several times in the body of the text... I think its more than coincidence. Shocked
