I got the mail, sorry I posted it on the LB thread and forgot to do so here. Not sure what to make of it though, I would guess that it is strictly pertaining to us and we should look at the packages and clues we got as the Umbrati and try and ignore the LB clues for now....

Step 1: search google for "umbrati"
Step 2: you may need to refresh a few times
Step 3: find a link that most people miss

Aw dammit - now I have to shut off Adblock Plus? Nice job Lex!

If you click the moon in the top-right corner, you get a small picture of the moon in a particular phase (appears to be the current moon phase, actually). You can increment the numbers of the image name up to 29 for all the phases.
ETA: Also, be sure to grab the Nyx keys on the right-hand side of the page. Unfortunately, these new keys don't appear to unlock any of the encrypted files we currently have.

After incrementing the numbers of the random image addresses, I found this:

The file names are interesting on that site. Check them out.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The moon image was pointed out, and you can change the number on the file to show a different phase. 00 is a lunar eclipse.
Meanwhile, on the left side, it displays random images named Rand#.jpg. Rand9.jpg will never come up on it's own, though, at least that I can see, and you have to go there manually. Anyone recognize her?

Well done guys (although doesn't bode well for us in the upcoming "war" that it took us this long to find it).
Guess we'll have a similar path to follow to the Lighters ...

Okay, maybe my computer hates me, but I have not been able to find the nyxtel site while trying to backtrack. Was it in the sponsosred links or something... im still looking (ARGH).
Great find!

To save Nighthawk some money, don't click through to the site using google because he has to pay everytime someone does...

Now we know who Helen Nyx is, anyway, other than the owner of the Umbrati page. I've only been loosely following this, actually, and never worked up the umph to read through the whole thread past the the "zomg our threads they are locked" bit and only read the wiki... did anyone ever make contact with her before?
EDIT: From the news story about Florida: "Cell Sites on Wheels (COWs)" Hahaha. Cows.
