[Trailhead] Won't you help me please?

Just got an email from a Tyler Mills (wontyouhelpmepleaseSPLATgmail.com) with the subject "Won't you help me [decode] this, please?"

No text in the email, just an attatchment:

As did I. I wonder if it could be like the Tom Tooman code, where the lines of the barcode stand for morse code.

Just got it as well -- all I can find so far as ways to create a 128 Code (as that's what it looks to be, someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Nothing so far on how to decode though. Yarrr.

I got it too.

I bet it's the Micronoids behind this. Just when you thought it was safe to decommission X-Com . . .

I'm not so sure this *does* belong to Deleted - I never signed up for Deleted, yet I got the message too.

*Macavity ponders calling in X-Com . . .

Uh... why are you making the determination that this belongs there? What makes you think that this is related?

Barcodes + Tyler Mills + "Won't you help me please" = Deleted for sure. As the "helping her find out what happened" part of the game hasn't started yet, I would bet the translation would lead you to the gamesite as they're trying to draw more players.

Don't believe me? http://youtube.com/watch?v=zAw3FXS-7q0
