 		I can't believe I missed the whole thing! I've been sick and for some reason I thought today was the 17th. Oh well, time to catch up!

Joey mentioned (I think, bare with me here, my brain is foggy) that some of the rebel groups are merging to form bigger groups didn't he? Since the rebels are 'independant' is it possible that a group of three rebel groups are merging to take on BS?

Great job on the videos (I seriously almost peed myself on video 3) and on the translation. I hope to be back soon to help.

 		Working on my own, I think that lines 4, 5, and 6 of the Morse code spell out
"SOMETHING". Hope this helps, I'll continue to widdle away at it on my side.

 		I'm getting either 'get' or 'meet' for the first line. Second line is giving me trouble.

Line
1: --..- = -- . . - = Meet
2:
3:
4: …--- = ... --- = so
5: --.- .... = -- . - .... = meth
6: ..-.--. = .. -. --. = ing

 		alright. don't know if this is right, but we may be getting a bit closer. here's what i have come up with so far:

Line
1: --..- = -- . . - = Meet
2: ...- - = ...- - = Vt
3: ..--- = . .- -- = eam
4: …--- = ... --- = so
5: --.- .... = -- . - .... = meth
6: ..-.--. = .. -. --. = ing
7: -...... = -... ... = BS

Meet V team. Something BS caused secretly as propaganda.

thoughts?

You forgot the OUTAGE part. Add it in, and the grammar/meaning kinda breaks down.

- - ..- ttu
- -. . - tnet
- -. .- tna
- -.. - tdt
- -..- tx
-- . . - meet
-- .. - mit
-- . .- mea
-- ..- mu
--. . - get
--. .- ga
--.. - zt

Line 2
. . . - - eeett
. . . -- eeem
. . .- - eeat
. . .-- eew
. .. - - eitt
. .. -- eim
. ..- - eut
.. . - - iett
.. . -- iem
.. .- - iat
.. .-- iw
... - - stt
... -- sm
...- - vt
...-- 3

Line 3
. . - - - eettt
. . - -- eetm
. . -- - eemt
. . --- ees
. .- - - eatt
. .- -- eam
. .-- - ewt
. .--- ej

Line one could also be Get, I think. At one point it occurred to me that VT could mean Voltaire, but I think V Team might be more likely.

right, outage. omitted when i retyped to remove caps.

Meet V team. Something BS caused outage secretly as propaganda.

yeah, i wasn't confident this was entirely right. but it does seem as if we're getting closer on this one. i do like the meet V-team part (Voltaire-team/ Victory-team?). wondering if we should take another look now at the "something" lines. arg...

Hmm, I guess it could just as easily be Meet St Team (Street team?), but even still, this feels shaky at best. Still, there isn't much else that would work I guess.

I think I heard this mentioned earlier, maybe it's referring to the power outage Joey was speaking of. If Blackstar is behind it somehow the propaganda could allow them to gain control of the power commission. And all the power.

I think you are on the right track!

yep, i considered st-team also. V-team just has a better feel in this context. when i found the "team" i was actually looking at VT as an abbreviation for Voltaire. the team fell in place after. but you're right, there just aren't many viable options in those second two lines imho...

That all makes sense, except that the encoded part of the message says "Working on propaganda for independent power triumvirate". Right after Mars started working for Terry Nanny at Blackstar (who also made the TIMM video).

I'm wondering if the triumvirate is a breakaway consisting of Terry Nanny + 2 others?


Just because it's propagandized as "independent" doesn't mean it is, and if Blackstar is publicly viewed as an independent contractor providing support to Milwaukee after the incident, then it would make total sense. But on the other hand I totally support the idea of Terry Nanny as Supreme Co-Overlord / Triumvirate Member because that would be pretty amazing.

In my original post I was thinking of the triumvirate as:

1) Original members of power board (Joey and other members of MTC?)
2) Blackstar
3) As-of-yet unknown entity


I think this was mentioned - but what about Chuck being one of the three. He told us/made us aware of the outage originally, and now there's a curfew but he doesn't mind it. We know he eats whatever he wants and he has a high level. So Chuck and Terry Nanny and _________ (me? i wish).
