 		Good song, but MAN! THAT'S IT?!

Here I was hoping for all the dirty details of the failed project! Raspberry

 		I went ahead and asked Matthew if he is one of the 7.

I am also a little perplexed by the word Plastics. Is there any relevance to it other than being the link to the song?

 		Probably refers to a line from The Graduate where a guy tells Dustin Hoffman's character, Benjamin Braddock, that the future is "Plastics, my boy! Plastics!"

EDIT: Actually here's the quote, from IMDB:

Quote:
Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Just how do you mean that, sir?


The soundtrack was done by Simon and Garfunkel.

AND Matthew says there's more:

nogainswoutpain@paperboundlife well, I'm still angry and upset. So I don't think it worked.

 		The whole brother thing has been bugging me as we've never actually confirmed that Matthew typed it. I guess I will ask him.

Plastics.

I stand a broken man.

Loss.

Grief.

My pain is greater than before.

I have failed.

And worse, I have failed others.

Others whose lives are now

terrible and monstrous.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I thought I

knew it all.

I should have heeded his advice.

He has left.

He is gone.

My heartbreak is

nearly unbearable

how can I continue?

how, if I have ruined

seven lives?

7.

they were so young and

eager to participate.

I should have listened.

I should have stopped it.

My pain is great,

though my sorrow is greater.

Silence.

I must gather my thoughts.

I don't know how to continue.

Nothing but

Pain

seven victims maybe thats why theres a seven in the institutes logo then
BTWgood work girls and boys
i am still a newcomer in the arg scene so i m a little on the background following you the pros .

 		Well ok, Matthew doesn't remember having a brother, which makes me think he did not enter that hidden message for us.

maybe matthew didnt exist before 2007.
maybe the institute cloned him or something like that
that would explain him not remembering anything
maybe a silly idea no?

At this point, anything is possible.

 		Where to?
So we finished this puzzle, but Matthew says there is more to it. So where do we logically go? Dr. Darrell's blog has no other places for passwords right? So what do we know of that still is a secret to us? My first thought is the website's Employee Portal. I've tried a few of the "smaller" words from the Sound of Silence post into the portal, but I'm not getting anywhere. Any other thoughts?

 		swift: have you tried just writing; "seven" ? also; matthew wouldn;t remember before two years ago. but if he was darrell's bro then... Darell would remember which is why I say that we should e-mail him


(matthew is probably a name that matthew gave himself)

EDIT; oh yeah. I got a reply from matthew re: the books jogging his memory:
'@Sumooqip No. Fantastic book, though.'

 		I've been trying to find hidden stuff on the original .com site, but so far I've only managed to pull up the actual google login page. I really don't think we've missed anything, but clearly we have.

edit: I'm still discounting Matthew as one of the brothers as the press release was emailed to Deanodon this month with that message hidden. It doesn't make sense that Matthew would type 'my brother will not win this fight' when he doesn't recall ever having one.

edit2: OK darkness falls is indeed a clue and not just a tiny piece of paper.

But if William sent out the press release, then William could be stating that his brother, Matthew, will not win? Possible?

I've tried seven and a few others, even darkness... still working on the password Smile
