[TRAILHEAD] BTYC - Episode 3 Okay so some of you would have played this previously... An ARG called BTYC or Behind The Yellow Curtain. At the end of Episode 2, I was listed as a 'target' (Ooh-Err)
This morning I recieved an email which was sent to me by someone named Bobby Rondeau. - I personally can't remember much about Bobby but he mentions in his email Eleanora (Plante).
Quote:
Bonjour!
Do you have any idea of what this coded message is about?
I am not sure it is relevant, but I dont want to take chance after the death of Eleanora.
Regards,
- Bobby
The attachment with the email was bandF-ch32.mp3
And it results in the following
I've replied to Bobby:
Quote:
Bobby,
How are you and things?
Code reveals this website http://www.qadhos.com
Any idea on the 'Answer'?
Also, you do know Eleanora was killed by Barbizon right?

There is the timer, you're right. Also an area to put an 'Answer'? - Although the question, from what I gather at least, is yet to be asked.
I've just noticed others have updated the thread from Ep 2 which can be found here
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26382
And also given pretty much the same answers as me.
Let's not forget people, I'm still a target >.<

Whooo new thread!
Okay...
Official Facebook page was updated with a link to http://www.yce3.com/ which just has the rabbit logo and the audio file. The Greek in the title, "γενηθήτω φώς", translates to "Let there be light" from the Bible.
There seems to be a very Biblical theme to this one - "Qadhos", or "Qados" is Hebrew for holy/holy ones.
I'm not sure what the background of www.qadhos.com is. It flickers, as though it's a video or something, but what is it? The static noises also... I hope those aren't Morse code. Not sure what the 25.615 there is meant to mean either. I've tried putting in a whole bunch of random answers, but none of those worked. I guess we have to wait for Bobby to get back to us on this.

Okay, I got into the Sons of Qadhos page. Seeing as Bobby stopped responding, I figured we had enough information to crack it by ourselves.
If you Google 25.615, the number on the side of www.qadhos.com, you come up with a whole bunch of CB radio sites. Turns out 25.615 is Band A Channel 1. Using one of those sites (I used this one ) and working backwards from there, you take the name of the file emailed to us (bandF-ch32.mp3), convert that into a number and put that into the "Answer" field.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Answer = 28.225
That gets you into the site and you see a video. I wasn't really listening because I don't like videos but basically you have to get this code:
Code:
(never mind, can't get this code working properly, it's in another post) <a><img src="http://www.qadhos.com/multimedia/monitoring.php" alt="Social Network Monitoring" border="0"></a>
into some websites to activate an AI. The Overall System Status thing is interesting - every time a page with that on it is refreshed, the "Query Loaded" number goes up. The number of nodes is related to the number of actual times it's posted, I think.
Which also gives us a site www.noiz-analytics.com. It has the rabbit logo and a link to Qadhos.com so it's definitely in-game but there's just a "Coming soon" page. The source gives www.noiz-analytics.com/site-survey-beta.htm where you can put in urls and it'll spit out some kind of analysis in French.
That page keeps loading stuff from www.noiz-analysis-beta.com which has the same spiral galaxy background as qadhos.com but with no rabbit logo. They also want you to log in with a Google account, which I did. I'm not sure if it's working correctly or not, but I'm not really getting a lot out of it.

well I did my part, but to think, that they want it on 1000 sites or they won't move forward.
Just seems a little overreaching in my thoughts.

Thank you Snorkle for your help, it is much appreciated. You are not alone; we are working hard to gather enough support to launch Destiny. I am pretty confident that we will make it!

I assume they have a backup plan in case we don't get 1000. For some reason the code keeps screwing up in my last post, here's the proper one.
Code:

So what? Do we post it on social networking sites then?
Cos sorry, I'm NOT signing up to a bunch I'm not a member of just to paste this lol.
Another thought... Would a "Page" count as a site? Like you reckon we could paste this on facebook and have other ARGers post it to their profiles and it'd count as seperate "sites"?
ETA: Okay so I just pasted that code into my FB profile and it came up as text...?

Anybody going to explain? It seems one or two of you have already done, as asked?

Guys... C'mon - Believe me Episode 2 was pretty damn fun and I'm sure Ep 3 is going to be similar.
Just recieved an email from Bobby, here's what it says.
Quote:
Hi Leyton,
I am still helping the Son of Qadhos bulding enough support. Yesterday I had a meeting with one of Qadhos agent. Your are still in danger, from what I understand the Barbizon Group is still very active.
Along with this information, I also received the following picture. Maybe you can look into it further. Tell me if you find something.
Please be safe friend.
Okay so, I'm still in danger... Uh-oh
Here's the picture.

I received an email too from Bobby Rhondeau juste telling me he's still trying to find others node to activite Destiny. I won't post the message here since its in french.
I received the same picture as Leyton ...but I noticed on facebook another version of it.. that i wil post here... I do think if we overlap both of them we will have a message or part of one anyway...
I will try on my side ... but if anyone with more skill then me wants to try.. I would love it too
EDIT: there are some more pictures on facebook but not sure they are relevant.
RE-EDIT: waitress did an overlap for me and here I will post it..ty tress

Noticed that the 'help the resistance' web button to the noiz-analytics site has gone active with a 'web-site map thingy' (that's the technical term I think), of the sites that have the button up/link or so it seems...
there is also to be a key at the bottom of the page which shows active/potential sites as well as the sites with 'clues' etc... so I think that the http://www.yellowcurtain.com/ may have a third piece to the picture puzzle (not able to capture here atm)...
while digging around I noticed that the beta noiz site produced a swirl, similar to those in the background monitors on the qadhos site - this also was a 'website map'
Tex...
hope you're keeping your head down Leyton..

Here is the last part of that page... I don't have time to overlay it with the two others ths morning so if someone was able to do it.. it would be nice.
Not sure what it means.. since the title would read (with the 3 of them together) Incantation De Baphomet
traduction rapide Directive of mission.

Just another quick post of something I noticed, that the login for the Barbizon Group website http://www.thebarbizongroup.com/ has changed. The login asks for Water, Fire, Air, Earth and Spirit, which would correspond to the triangles aginst the different sections of the picture puzzle...
Also, the background imagery from the three picture pieces is from Gustav Dore's illustrations for John Milton's Paradise Lost...
AofC - The Fall of Satan
BofC - The Summons(?)
CofC - Satan Holds Court
I got a nudge for this from the post of John Martin's Pandemonium and text to the yellowcurtain site - which seems to have been posted between BTYC2 and BTYC3? - unless I overlooked that...
Tex...
