OK, you can log in there at yourself, but I'll post here the contents of the log-in area.

SINILOV URGENT - Need info

Mr Browne,

I only have six parts of the Quantum Code.
I need the seventh to open the safe.
I believe that Vaughan can help us.

Yours,
Similov


Second EMail:

STANGL Davies

Mr Browne,

Davies has been eliminated. It seems that his informant was your colleague, Marcus Gold. We should have known that he was a double-agent.

I have taken the liberty of eliminating Gold. I hope this meets with your satisfaction.

Also – there is a woman who worked with Davies. I think she knows about us. Her name is Newlove. Request instructions.

Regards,
Stangl


Third email:

VAUGHAN Your enquiry

Mr Browne,

As you already know, the third part of the Quantum Code is the first number you would need if you wanted to call Britain, but not America.

I can deliver you the sixth part of the code – but only in person, and only for the right price.

Vaughan

 		Just out of interest the Japan shipping address is from Sony Corp. Research Centre.

The clue about the dialling codes:
To UK from Au: 0011 44
To US from Au: 0011 1
So I guess the number is 4

 		so 2nd clue video is up on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1zNQQFY37I

any ideas?

UPDATE (post from Constance on Facebook):
Quote:
Locate and identify the second part of the Quantum Code by deciphering the meaning of the numbers listed below: HM Satellite RAVEN Tracking Results 41.96363, -87.662734 52.087286, 5.178396 41.96363, -87.662734 32.230419, -110.953953 24.646261, 46.701872

I've found something else related to the second part of the Quantum Code:

Tracking Results
41.96363, -87.662734
52.087286, 5.178396
41.96363, -87.662734
32.230419, -110.953953
24.646261, 46.701872

Any ideas what it could mean?

 		looks like someone has been to the Sony Store in Sydney.

comment on Constance's facebook:

Quote:
The safe is sitting in plain sight in the middle of the store, with "Quantum Code" banners around it.

It's subtle.

 		another thing to consider.

41.96363, -87.662734 gives you E from satellite view. However, using street view it also shows a sign:
"Apartments for rent 773-784-3635"
Could we be looking for even numbers in that? If so, 4 and 6 are valid. We already know that 4 is in it, so maybe 6 is another number?

Alternatively, could someone call that number in the US? It's a chicago number.


Location list (interestingly a few of these are universities/colleges):
1. Chicago, USA
2. Utecht, Netherlands/Holland
3. Chicago, USA (same as 1)
4. Tuscon, Arizona
5. Rivan or Al Madinah As Sina'iyah, Saudi Arabia

 		website registered to Euro RSCG. I actually have been in their offices, and have a mate who worked there in the past.

One of their clients is Sony: I'm sure the campaign is for them (maybe co-branded with Telstra) and of course the movie release

 		ok, this could be a breakthrough.

on http://whois.domaintools.com/transnationalexports.com
"tom.gao@eurorscg.com.au is associated with about 5 domains"

However, you have to pay to see those five domains. Is there a free way to access this info?

I would think that if we got this information, then we'd see the other sites part of this campaign.

Also of interest:
Adelaidefoodsummit.com
Bloodyvolvodrivers.com
are hosted on the same IP (makes sense as they are EURORSCG campaigns).

Don't have free access to find what the others are.

Or, anagrammed to "seven." Since one of the other numbers was a single digit, it stands to reason this would be as well.

Additionally, it is a James Bond game, so anything to harken back to 007 is candy.

 		Contact with Constance.

I wrote her at facebook about the site we've found and also about Davies' Profile at facebook, that might be already controlled by them.

Dear Constance,

I wrote you at youtube, but my comment seems to be lost, so I double it here.

We've found a webpage http://www.transnationalexports.com, and our friend deepblerg found the access data: username: browne
password: doberman.

Davies seems to be eliminated, as it is said in an email there... Take care, they are looking for you.

And don't trust Davies at Facebook - it seems, they have cracked his account...

We will help you!
You can call me kosmopol or Merzmensch, if you need help!
Greetings and take care,
kosmopol


Now Constance answered me:

Thanks kosmopol! I'm shocked by the news about Davies if it's true - he was a good man. It would also explain why I'm being followed... these are dangerous people.

I've got a safe location that I'm heading to now, and have just uploaded some new information that may help.

I will look at that site when I get to my safe house, but it would probably be good to keep an eye on it. I'll be in touch again soon.


So I suppose, there will be updates at http://www.transnationalexports.com soon.

UPDATE: Ehm... the website seems to be... gone. ???

SINILOV RE: URGENT - Need info



Browne,

One more thing. I have tested the third part of the Quantum Code, and it is not correct.

Can you please follow up with Vaughan?

Sinilov

BROWNE RE: URGENT - Need info



Sinilov,

Thank you for your email. I have expressed my extreme displeasure to Vaughan. I am confident that he will supply us with the correct information shortly.

However, he may require a little extra persuasion. As you are already in Australia, it may be more convenient for you to give Vaughan some encouragement in person.

Should this be required, I will let you know.

Browne

PS - I think you will find my correspondence with Vaughan quite amusing. You have my login. Take a look.

Stangl,

Continue following this Newlove woman, but keep your distance.
I will deal with her personally.
Await my arrival.

BROWNE RE: Your enquiry



Vaughan,

Don't play games with me. The number you supplied is not the third part of the Quantum Code.

You will give me the third part of the code immediately. Otherwise, I may decide to introduce you to Tiberius and Nero. They have developed quite a taste for human flesh.

Browne


I'm another aussie... just picked this up on Gizmodo... very interesting at the moment. Work very close to world square too.

 		So i took a trip to the sony store today. There is indeed a safe, and also an LCD screen where you can use a mouse to input a code. At present only two digits can be selected. I tried 47 and 74 and they didn't work. However, this is unlikely to work until the end of the game.

 		ok, so this is confusing:

"As you already know, the third part of the Quantum Code is the first number you would need if you wanted to call Britain, but not America."

However, the recent emails suggest that this part is incorrect?
