 		[TRAILHEAD] The Ennead
Help Lisa & Michael (?)
Found this channel on youtube thats kinda losty-ish:
http://www.youtube.com/user/enneadseries

on Ep 01 around 5:00 characters show stuff from their pockets that leads to:
Lisa Doralee > pandoralee999SPLATgmail.com
http://pandoralee999.wordpress.com/
http://www.youtube.com/pandoralee999
and...
http://historianova.com/
http://enneadseries.com/

The historianova page has a questionnaire link "Study 1".
Whois on that states:
Created on: 11-Feb-09
Administrative Contact:
constantine, constantine thetruecrossSPLATgmail.com

- I completed the questions and recieved this response:

Greetings from Historia Nova!

Every action we take affects our future, be it drinking a glass of water that will send us scurrying to the bathroom in half-an-hour, to purchasing a new book that might give us new perspective on life. Each action is a catalyst for change, every moment we set our feet upon the worn cobbles of history as we tread unknowing into an intangible future.

But what if we could know what tomorrow holds in store? Might we alter the steps we take today in order to reach a better, brighter destination?

By contacting us, and taking part in our online quiz, you yourself have opened a new door. Who knows what promise and possibility lay beyond?

Many such possibilities are available to use through the research and development of modern science. Just as meteorologists rely on complex data to help them predict weather patterns, so can we harness the power of technology to give us key insight as to what the future holds in store. And yet such technology is not the only key—the true power to unlock tomorrow's secrets lay within each of us; coursing through our blood, tucked into the dark recesses of our minds, even stored within our DNA!

If, after further review of the data provided by your answers to our quiz, we should uncover appropriate evidence that we can be of use in your goal to further yourself—and the world around you, we will be in touch.

With our help, anything is possible.
Until then, best regards,

L. Clairmont.

Chairman, Historia Nova

PS: If there's anything you'd like to add to support your case, please email those details and we'll take them into serious consideration.

Namaste.

End Note: The Youtube avatar and the enneadseries page both contain images of Magical Ciphers / sigils, and at "OTHER", there is a link "HELP LISA" (that was not active about an hour ago, but I PM'ed the youtube channel stating that - now the help lisa link is live) that redirects to Lisa Doralee's youtube channel.

Dont know what this is, but Im gonna start reading the pages...

ETA:
Another youtube channel (dude in this vid is the dude that gets kidnapped on Lisa's channel -her fiance):
http://www.youtube.com/user/michaelthebigsee
and: his second vid's more info leads to this page/email:
http://anioscorporation.com/
anioscorporationSPLATgmail.com
whois= same admin contact as historianova
Email src tag: "email us, tell us anything, we can help. We WILL help."

ETA: Just a post title change & long over due

 		Updates & email response from Lisa
Last Friday I sent this email to "Lisa" (summary):
Email from Psyop to Lisa Doralee wrote:
I was looking at Michael's third video that you uploaded and become very concerned... Ummmm has he been missing since that incident, or was that a gruesome joke that he played on you and all your viewers?

Besides that, I was wondering if you would be able to answer the following questions.

1. Do you know the name of the Company Michael is working for?

2. You mentioned that his company has been co-opted by another company to break "an unbreakable code". Based on that & question 1 above, I was wondering if you knew what the name of the co-opting company was as well?

3. I noticed a poster on your wall in one of your vids and I was curious about that. Does that say "L' ESTASI"? -And what is that, a band or something? Side Note: I think I know how the symbol on that poster was derived (its a sort of cipher), and that is why I was curious about what that poster was Smile -btw, Ive seen that symbol in other places on the net, do you know what it means?

4. On your vid # 3: You hold up a printout of an email you received. I was wondering if you could tell me who sent that to you? The primary reason I'm asking this is because I analyzed what I could from a screen shot of that frame, and I wanted to tell you that the mail was probably not spam (it could be though ehehehhe don't hold me to that statement).

Reason I think its not spam:
All of the terms on that sheet are basically cryptographic hash functions. -Looks like data encryption standards and possibly passwords or hints at how to decrypt a password based on the stated functions etc...

Hi Sean,

I've been to the police, and they're not all that concerned. They seem to think he's just off somewhere, one of the cops told me he took off for a few days, playing poker with his buddies in Vegas. That's not Michael.

I'm going back into the Police station tomorrow, and the day after that, if necessary.

I've been getting really strange emails (I think I might post some on Monday if I don't hear from M, try and get some help), and I've found a USB stick under his side of the mattress (they say you should flip your mattress every few months...with your fiancee off "in Vegas" sleep can be tough).

If Michael isn't back by tonight, I'm going to look at the USB stick.

Thanks for you note.

Best,

Lisa D.

Notes:
She didn't answer any of the numbered questions, but the poster on her wall mentioned in # 3 is the same symbol/Avatar used on the ENNEAD Channel. The Italian phrase "L' estasi" translates to "The Ecstasy" (I think).

Yesterday Lisa posted another vid with an update on her blog that shows a SCREENSHOT / printout of an email she received from User "lowkey". The printout is sitting on top of some other sheets so there is some text that is viewable through the page (I suck at shopping though, so if anyone reads this and can clean this up, go for it). See the attached screens below (vid3 and lowkey).
[SPEC]Also: I attached an example magic script key, as I think this is how the Avatar and symbols seen on the Ennead Home page is derived. This is only an example as I do not know for sure what alphabet / alpha or numeric are used to actually make the symbols/sigils on those pages...[/SPEC]

 		Ep 03 uploaded Sunday...
Ennead episode 03 was posted Sunday. So I decided to link screens shots of the known characters with what was in their pockets from episode one. Also: Psysop tells self "Im so lonely" (and answers self with) "stop talking to yourself then" Sad

CAPTAIN
FLICK
CATS
TEETH
LUCIAN
PRINCESS.
Note: In Ep 03, Lucian asks Princess "who was in the car" and she flashes back to a scene where she is driving, stops & looks over into the car next to hers. At that point she looks at the other driver & its basically her. The two versions of her get eye contact & then version two's face morphs / shakes erratically, screaming and whatnot. I grabbed some frames and a couple of the morph frames are Michael's face (& I think he's wearing the same shirt from the vid where he gets kidnapped). Heres a comparison:
MICHAEL

ETA:
Based on the previously stated:
http://anioscorporation.com/
src tag: "email us, tell us anything, we can help. We WILL help."
anioscorporationSPLATgmail.com

-I emailed that, saying I want to take them up on the "We WILL help" offer and attached a screenshot of the hash functions text from the vid3screen shot (with questions written in the description data). I got this reply:
Anios Corporation wrote:
Anios has been off the grid for decades.

We're here now.

She needs your help.

pandoralee999

Thank you for contacting Anios Corporation, the Light and Life of
Technology. We believe that the very pinnacle of health and happiness
can be achieved through the pursuit of science. From the discovery
and manipulation of exciting new antibodies that will lead the
vanguard in the war against disease and cell deterioration, to
advanced forays past the known boundaries of biology and genetics, we
are committed to bringing out the very best in all of us.

Despite recent advances, so much of the human mind is a still a
mystery, and so our true potential remains shrouded, obscured by a
veil which only technology can help us draw aside. Speech, movement,
cognitive thought –are these truly the limits of human ability? Or is
there more, untapped, merely lying in wait to ambush and astonish
those bold enough to discover them? At Anios, we believe there is.

Consider us pioneers, trailblazers; consider us your guide into the
unknown future. Together, we can bear the torch of knowledge into the
vast caverns of ignorance that have for so long beguiled our species.

Together we can light the way.

We will be in touch.

Anios

Welcome home.

 		So I will try to follow on this one. First I thought there would be too much to catch up - but it is not. The three Ennead episodes are interesting to watch.
In the "interactive part" nothing much has happened, besides Michael has been kidnapped and the actual (first) puzzle is the email posted above.

So what could this code mean? :
50
1
18
28
27
22
14
1
4
102
12
28
18
58
34
14
28
18
2

ETA: After contacting anioscorporation and receiving th standard reply (see above) I additionally received this email:

Because we're shooting all day everyday, I may be a bit slower than
usual in returning emails, however, I will be responding to everything
ASAP and reading emails as often as possible, as we go.

Thanks!


Guess this is some META-information.

 		Since almost nobody is playing this, it is hard to avoid double posts. Hope some other people will jumo in.

The new site is strange. Three posts --> three puzzles and cryptic comments. Not sure if the posters of the comments are IG or just some other players. They talk about conspiracy, shut down websites and tagged persons ... and they seem to know "lowkey" Dunno

 		Solved the lowkey code:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Since his favourite book is "great" and we already had the reference to "gatsby" I thought about book cipher.

There are free copies of "The great gatsby" on the internet. Counting the words and taking the first letter reveals:

hiocletianoscobjtcom

sounds gibberish but somehow familiar. So whether I got the wrong copy or there is a glitch: Taking "any one" as one word "anyone" reveals:

diocletianscourtcom

The site I already found Smile


Will write an email to Lisa

 		Brilliant solve AUZ! I've been staring at this numbers for two days now and had no idea what to do with them!
Thanks to the extensive information Psysop already gathered Cool , I downloaded the hierophant last night and arrived at diocletianscourt.com, too. I haven't looked into it further, yet. However, searching for Anios Corporation with Google led me to lowkey, who seems to be an employee of Anios Corp.

@Psysop: Do you think you can stop talking to yourself now? Wink

 		@AUZ: Thank you so much for playing The Hierophant and posting the page! I was at work and couldnt instal a blorb app to play it Evil or Very Mad. Your great (gatsby) solve is AUZ'some as well!
I was looking at that book and Bang Head for quite a while. As far as the double posts are concerned hehehe I was getting that creepy feeling again before you and Trillian came in here, as the previous ARG I played (The Descendant) was 3 pages of me talking to myslef until the end game. With that stated, I am really really glad you both noticed this post!

@Trillian: Thanks to you & AUZ performing psychiatric care, I will hopefully stop talking to myself now Very Happy

Oh, what blorb app did you guys use (I have zero experience with playing them)?

Gargoyle, of course! Smile I don't have any experience with zblorb-files either, but I couldn't resist trying, when I found out that there's software that complements my avatar.

I'll try to figure out how to attach a transcript of the hierophant-session. Here are some extra commands I used just for fun; whoever created this game has a nice sense of humor:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
>touch hierophant
Keep your hands to yourself!

>kiss hierophant
Keep your mind on the game.

>take hierophant
I don't suppose the Hierophant would care for that.

>examine myself
As good-looking as ever.



@AUZ Did you find out what the hierophant is supposed to do? He followed me through the rooms but never talked or answered any questions. Sad


RE: historianova.com
I noticed that there's a comment at the bottom of each page but I don't what it means:
Quote:
/* ennead sear ees daught calm */


On the "Welcome" page is a comment from a user who also posted on diocletianscourt.com:

 		Thanks.

Digging deeper into this game:

The Hierophant no idea what to do with him in the game.
wiki info on Hieropahnt

you can enter "ask Hierophant" which lead to strange output

Diocletian's Court
wiki info on Diocletian

Post from 15 Feb:
Password protected: No idea what the password is

Post from 26 Feb:
Messsage Digest/Check Sum: Normally it is not possible to decode the orignal message just from the hash codes: Same format as here

Post from 2 Mar:
Solved:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Just decimal values of ASCII. Decoded:
anios corporation dot com

so nothing new.

Quite sure that the people commenting are IG.
There is also this sentence (posted by El-ahrairah): ennead sear ees daught calm.
Also no idea about the meaning

The lowkey blog: "Daily Muse"
Link: http://cinemanovel.startlogic.com/wwitc/

Contains a "Who was in the car" video Wink (even more confusing than the Ennead videos and probably not related)

and the follwing message:
Quote:

com VS .org
If you came here looking for LISA you are looking for WHOWASINTHECAR.ORG
She's trying to figure out what happened to her dude, so, if you can help her out, do it.


Link does lead to nowhere. But of course http://www.whowasinthecar.com/ wors, but does not lead to Lisa but to Ennead video pt3.

 		@Trillian: Thank you for the Gargoyle link! - Still havent played it yet though Sad
Trillian wrote:
I don't what it means: /* ennead sear ees daught calm */

I think that, Post 2 Mar & the comment by "El-ahrairah" are saying that Anioscorp has been co-opted by HistoriaNova. Based on this: http://anioscorporation.com/enneadseries/ ---> & Lisa saying:
Lisa vid 3 at 00:06 wrote:
(Michael's) His company has been co-opted by another company in a bid to break an unbreakable code
Aside from that, atleast that link introduces the characters "Nova" & "Polly" from ennead ep 04 (& unrevealed character "U-Turn" as well).

AUZ505 wrote:

I saw that yesterday & was like Dunno
-I still have no idea what the pw for post 15 Feb is either. Still looking around...

ETA:
Diocletianscourt has a new category / thread:
MICHAEL IS MISSING wrote:
Lisa is looking. Let's help her.


Also: Played The Hierophant and was wondering if there is a way to get the Hierophant to undress you? Shocked

 		Got this email from LowKey

Quote:

Trillian is right--nice solve on the Gatsby front. To be honest, I haven't even read the damn thing. Seems like a bit of a yawner, no?

Browsing something else at the moment, sort of a sci-fi affair. I'll be sure and drop you a line if it seems worthwhile.

LowKey


Strange. Is Lowkey reading this forum? From where should he know jow I solved this and that Trillian has congratulated? Should I ask him?
I started a wiki for us (three Wink). Will try to update over the weekend. But not sure if I have enough time.

 		And another update. Wanted to look at lowkey's site (http://cinemanovel.startlogic.com/wwitc/)

Now there is this message:
Quote:

Low Key had this hacked. Now it's been taken down. Linked to trailer, a defunct TV series, a record company. Nothing there. The DC "somewhere to begin" password is going to be more difficult. It has something to do with A.D. One who wrote in the same world as the other. Good Work.


Hint for the password. Who is A.D. Definitely a writer. The other: is this Fitzgerald. But what is meant with same world. Could also be connecte to Sci-Fi (see post above).

ETA: Subject was "Bright Mind, Bland Read"

Low Key -Rocking the boat... wrote:
Every good fisherman knows that patience is a virtue and persistence a key. Yours, I see, has already unlocked one door.

Welcome to the pond.

Low Key

I noticed that page down / pw hint a while ago as well (was updated twice, sentence one & then two a while later). Hmmm I thought it might be either a writer, Anno Domini, or even maybe a writer that was alive in BC & AD Dunno heheeh -yet

Thanks AUZ for the wiki action to Smile
