I wonder whether it's linked to the finalis page somehow - still don't think we've done everything we can with that yet.

Why were there spelling mistakes on 'The Nitti Family'??

Wondering whether we need to combine to two codes somehow or use one to solve the other...

i'm wondering if there's some significance to the placement of the mouse... typically they've been at the end of messages, but this time it seems to be looking right at the 9...
i have no idea what it could mean...
i thought maybe we should read it upside down, since the mouse is sorta looking down on it, but i can't make anything of it that way either...

I noticed the mouse placement as well, but didn't think anything of it at the time. I have absolutely no idea what the code could translate to, as of yet.

I thought of Romans 1 verse 2, personally.

"which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures,"

But maybe I'm thinking off. =p

Actually now I look at it more, I'm beginning to wonder whether the mouse image is placed there only because it's the only bit of 'white' on the page big enough, within the black and white image and close to the letters. There's no where else it COULD go and not be obscured by the background image except perhaps squished under the central crane.

I can't believe we're stuck AGAIN!

That's a good idea, maybe you're right.

Maybe we should try looking for a Sterling Construction comapny website...

Maybe 'Under Construction' is a clue...

What lies under the construction??! Sounds like Illana's password!

What are they digging? Are we assuming an energy pocket like at the Swan? I'm assuming this is location G - looks like they're drilling down just like at the Swan site.

Bedtime for me anyway - have been staring at this all day.

Hope you manage to make some progress tonight!

Goodnight!

I've been trying different Sterling domain names, and I've found a couple ones, but I'm pretty sure they're real construction companies.

this may be completely random, but i thought it would be worth mentioning.
copy the code into word:
9 ? 3 13 R.1: II

then change the font to wingdings
doesn't the first character look like r33p?

and btw, assuming that the font is arial in the picture, that means it is definitely II (double i), not double L

I think it's Stearling not Sterling.

The 9 was important in R33ps last puzzle too, maybe that's why he's pointing to it. The ? and : make me think we need to transpose the letters on the keyboard...but it won't work on my Scandinavian qwerty, the special characters jumble it all up.

Can anyone tell me what the first word is in the letter Gary found? I can't see if it's "Lost", "Not" or "Got the money". Looks like an H, but I doubt it says Hot...

@BigNorse: inverted the black to white on Gary's fab find so am pretty certain the first word is "Got".....

also worked without joy on the R33P msg changing each symbol to it's Ascii numberical value but just got junk. Bang Head

I'm pretty sure we're looking a Sterling Cranes. Here's the Sterling Crane website.

http://www.sterlingcrane.ca/

EDIT: There's a photo gallery, but didn't spot Nitti's background.
