 		Hopefully not much waiting.

What is Donovan's Email again? I suppose we should tell him to keep an eye out.

 		Just got this from Nadia:
Quote:

Hi,

You said I could contact you if I need help. Well, I do. Donovan got a phone call a while ago to meet someone in an ArgenSoft building at 5:45 (CST). He left, and left his cellphone on the table. And now I checked his E-Mail for him, and I'm seeing all this stuff about an attack and Plan B, and I think it's a trap. HELP!!!!


I replied with
Quote:

Does ArgenSoft have a security guard or receptionist we can try to contact? perhaps they can stop Donovan on the way in, or at least secure the building?


Also a Scipio26 Twitter:

Which translates into this via Base64:

STICK IT TO THE SITE.


Perhaps it's a hint of adding .org to 'the site' ? Too bad there are other argensoft sites on the web

 		Update from Nadia:
Quote:

Well, I'm the receptionist, but I can't make it in time.

But, there's an automated security system with a web interface somewhere, but I don't know the URL, or the password.

I think its (something).argensoft.netau.net, but I might be wrong.


Ok guys, let's find this auto security system

got it of course:
http://org.argensoft.netau.net/

Binary on the page


Binary to text gives hex
hex to text gives morse
morse reads

WHATSHINESINTHENIGHTBUTISGONEINTHENIGHTCANTSHINEONITSOWNBUTALWAYSITSGLOWN
That is to say
WHAT SHINES IN THE NIGHT BUT IS GONE IN THE NIGHT CANT SHINE ON ITS OWN BUT ALWAYS ITS GLOWN


Scipio26 twitter corrects this (in Base64)
Quote:

THE SECOND NIGHT SHOULD BE LIGHT.


So

"moon" lead me to a page ( http://org.argensoft.netau.net/thecontrolpanel.php )
with a button: "Activate Lockdown"
I'm going to press it and consequences be damned.

Edit: Yeah I tried to go through the same sequence again, but when I entered the password this time I got kicked to a 404. I guess the system was set up for a one-shot only.

Button pressed. lead to
Quote:

LOCKDOWN ACTIVATED. ALL DOORS LOCKED.


Nothing else on the page (or in the source).
I let Nadia know. Hopfully Donovan will be safe, and -at least- security teams (or police) should be notified. I tiold her to call Donovan's work number as well, in case he is there and can pick up the phone.

Incidentally, all the translations above were done through this awesome page:

 		The wiki should be updated.

I would do it, but I guess I don't have the rights to edit pages.


Also, nice find. I guess we'll have to see what happens next now.

oops I thought anyone could join the wiki and edit pages.. lemme check the permissions.
(Also, yes the wiki should be updated but I'm editing the existing pages to make it easier to read... all help in adding the info from the last 2 days will be greatly appreciated)

brb, after I check the permissions.

Edit: yeah I checked:
all site members should be able to edit/create/move/rename pages and files (only permission reserved is actual deletion of pages, but you can still move pages to the deleted category).

Chance I'll PM you to see if I can help with your case.

Anyone else having problems with the wiki let me know. Thanks

 		Olorin,

I knocked up an entry for the You May Need to Wait puzzle, but rather than create a whole new page like a noob, what I actually had meant to do was add it to the Puzzles section. I can't seem to work out how to edit the Puzzles page though, I'm not seeing the "Edit" button at the bottom.

Great work on the wiki by the way, it looks like it was a lot of work getting the timeline down.
