 		[TRAILHEAD] Are you following this?
EDIT: Wiki

Got an email from areyoufollowingthisSPLATgmail.com with a pic attatched

Quote:
He was here before you were born, he wants to destroy us so that he can die.


Most interesting, though, is that in the TO field, it lists several ARGers, labled Agents 47-111 (I'm agent 50 Very Happy) And...

Agent 997 bleedingmaroon08SPLATgmail.com,
Agent 998 thejunkercorporationSPLATgmail.com,
Agent 999 tanaka.yoriSPLATgmail.com,
Ilya Muromets bogatyr.murometsSPLATgmail.com

All of whom were characters in Con 08 or VITD (Two excellent ARGs by someone we know only as XIII)

It seems someone's stolen your idea of a fan continuation of VITD, Kos Wink

EDIT: I told our friend that Agents 997 and 999 are dead, and he popped on chat just long enough to send me this:

"They are dead, we believed that they were related in the investigation but turned to be unrelated to it all."

So, maybe/maybe not a VITD continuation...

EDIT 2: One of my friends says: "The thing behind the cross appears to be one of the angels/creatures from the Eziekiel story in the Bible."[/url]

If you've got gmail, he's on chat now.

Also, I noticed some Base 64 text near the top right of the pic. I'm working now, though, so I can't decode it

EDIT: See Omega's post below

 		Top-right corner of the image has some interesting text:

ETA: Text corrected and verified.

 		I didn't follow VITD, but the first thing that jumped out at me in the photo was the "YudVZ2QybHNiQOJ1YJNRZ2MZUnZjOTO9" running diagonally in the upper right hand corner. At first, it looks like a "Youtube" extension, but a search turned up nothing?

Edit: Beat me to it! Laughing

It was a sequel to the ARG Con08, which had some hardcore devoted followers. VITD died off in a rather weird way, though, and left a lot of us fans pretty damn disappointed.

 		"The Pardoner's Tale" written down the middle might be referring to The Canterbury Tales.

Also, middle-right text looks to be Russian. I'll see if I can convert that.

 		Same friend who noticed the angel says there's a lot of illuminati symbolism in the pic. Back in Con08, Junker Corp was allegedly a front for the illuminati

EDIT: More findings:

>A b-2 bomber with marked 51069

>illuminatti shit 'n stuff

> A little mushroom cloud in the bottom right corner, probably from nevada test. Quick bit of research could tell for sure.

Atomic bomb explosion. Mushroom cloud produced by the detonation of XX-10 Priscilla, a 37-kiloton atomic bomb, on 24 June 1957. This was part of Operation Plumbbob at the Nevada Proving Grounds, USA. XX-10

>A katana

>japaneses manuscripts from the time of western imperialsm (Hence the european rigged ship)

>A set of seven dots, maybe a representation of the seven sisters constellation (top center)

>some kind of astronomical/astrological symbols (behind the sattelite)

 		This is what Google gives for the Russian:

Quote:
машина вога

Translates to:

machine Wagga

Wagga?


ETA: Or, might be Wagga Wagga in Wales


ETA2: The Japanese at the bottom middle is pronounced "panya," which is a Japanese bakery.

 		Ooo this looks fun(judging by the screaming humanoid in the bottom right corner). Makes me think 'zombies'.

Do you think we should email them and try to get an Agent number?

 		The map in the top-left corner of the image appears to be taken from the United Kingdom.

Google Map

In the map, you can see Oxford Circus. Down and to the right from Oxford is Piccadilly Circus. You can see the other locations from the image nearby as well.

Actually, it looks like part of the London Underground map

Also I believe the Russian says: machine of the voga

Yep, London. Google Map said "United Kingdom," and I didn't bother zooming out. Laughing


ETA: The circular symbol at left middle appears to say "RECHT EN TROUW" which might refer to this book:



The sword on the book looks very similar to the cross in the image...


ETA2: "Recht en Trouw" is also the name of a newspaper in Belgium.
