 		There's a new text file at http://www.nyxtel.net/Moon/ShadowWatch/:

Quote:
K009: I have good news and bad news.
A005: What now?
K009: Good news is that the four GMS communications firewalls are down.
A005: Congratulations! What's the bad news.
K009: I didn't do it.
A005: I hardly call that bad news, but who did?
K009: Don't know.
A005: That is bad news. Find out who. I don't think the goody-goodies are capable of doing that.
K009: I agree. I'll see if I can find out anything.
A005: Make sure we're not next, OK?
K009: Way ahead of you.

The Moonlight Gateway puzzle seems to have changed, I'll see what happens if I go through it again.

There is also this note from CO in the source on that page:
Code:
You must traverse the path once again to find that which you seek.

And the moon puzzle has definitely changed.

EDITED to include the actual message Dunce

Well that was my first thought... these looks for me like coordinates. But I could be wrong like so many times in the past lol

Nice catch. From this page, check out the "RA: h m" and "DEC: d m" columns, we get our number pairs. In order, we get...

Equuleus
Camelopardalis
Boötes
Microscopium
Pictor
Octans
Draco [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draco_(constellation)]
Caelum
Puppis
Leo [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_(constellation)]
Sagitta
Volans
Triangulum
Ursa Major

(apparently the forums don't like brackets in a URL, so I had to separate those two, sorry)

 		Using each constellation as a Vigenere key for each line:

Quote:
ttsstttttt
wheewhii
eiqkaiehwn
nreeteeeee
ttnnieesss
yyttmtpabc
sseyeilmpi
ieefsmuils
lppzvaghwl
xuuyqwwktr
iniribesfs
miminivtow
gsesusewue
sasbscnorr


Parts of this look promising, so perhaps we need a similar method of decoding to get something coherent.

 		Cool - I see 'twenty' and 'thirty' vertically in the first two columns so far.
ETA - recheck your answers as I'm getting some different that are making more sense.
line 3 - eivvorrmmm

I'm thinking that Twiler plugged Bootes into the decoder wrong. With the accent, it'd skip that character.

I redid the whole thing, just in case, and got...

Code:
ttsstttttt
wheewhhiii
eivvorrmmm
nreeteeeee
ttnnieesss
yyttmtpabc
sseyeilmpi
ieefsmuils
lppzvaghwl
xuuyqwwktr

 		That would give us 'vente' in the third column = 20 in Spanish

Or seven. D'oh!

I see L to R 20, 30, 7, 70, 2, 3, times 2, times 4, ???

 		These parts look right to a point - adding my guess in parentheses

twentysi(xt)im(e)s
thirtyse(ven)isa
seventee(nt)imes
seventyf(our)isb
twotimes(a)(m)inus
threetim(es)bisc
threeplu(sse)ven
