 		so I'm wondering if we missed something. because the updates have been pretty steady up till now. I'll recheck the binary when I get a chance.

 		I double checked the binary, and I got:

Which translates to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY This message is coming from"



Also, the support beams/posts in the image are marked "Platform 15"
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think that's the continuation of the message - "MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY This message is coming from" Platform 15. I'm thinking platform 15 is significant because the address is "sunshinemine15.com". But this is all just theories...


Also, the echoing and background noise in the music reminds me of a submarine or maybe an underwater drilling rig?

Hmm...a very clever thought. My initial reaction, however, is that there isn't any braille there - at least one of the groupings can't be made into a braille letter no matter which way I rotate it - I think a mirror image could make the letter "T", but I'm not equipped to do that very well at the moment. I've circled the group I'm talking about below.

The filename caught my attention, though - has anyone been keeping track of the names on these images? Have they all been sunshineentry.jpg?

 		Sorry I've been out for a while, had school stuff to do. *grumble grumble*

Anyway, I just started following Shanna and the SunMineUpdates on twitter. My icon on there is the same as here, so you should have little to no trouble recognizing me.

 		i'm kind of torn on the braille cipher theory... if you look at the bottom of the pillar the dots are actually sparks falling to the ground. their geometrical shape is very linear and looks purposeful; however their termination in a pile of goo in counterintuitive.

not really sure what to think.

 		Wow, sorry couple of updates - I've been sick all weekend. I got an email from Craig asking if I had received the confidentiality contract. I replied to him asking if he'd be willing to make an addendum to it to allow all those that had been receiving the emails from Iris as well, as I am not the only one involved. Then I also received an email from Iris. It was bits and pieces of what Craig originally sent me, but this time with a picture attached. It's getting creepy:

MyDarling,
Thank you for responding, and taking the time to read my email. However, and not to call you out - but why would you claim no knowledge of this, when we received part of an email you sent to Fred (from Iris)? This is what we received:
FRED-CALLME!Ihavebeencontactedbypeoplewhohavereceivede-mailsfromsomeonenamed"Iris"whoapparentlyhasaccesstoShanna'se-mailinrealtimeandalthoughjumbled,sheautochangesShan'se-mailaddressto"ShanMyLove"andmynameto"MyDarling"!!!Doyouknowwhatthismeans?
ITMEANSWEDIDIT!!!Oraregoingtoifyoucanwrapyourgrapearoundthat!CALL ME!*C
Obviously, the formatting is a bit off - but it's readable. Who is Shanna? And what is the significance of all of this? What exactly did you accomplish?

 		Sorry, I was unclear - I meant that a reverse/mirror image of the dots might turn the mystery grouping into the Braille representation of the letter "T." I super love the Space Invaders-esque pic you came up with, though, fernando! Smile

I managed it, but I still don't think it's anything. I really think the sparks are probably just random. The green circle is a group in this version that doesn't form any letter I know of, and I've written (in MS Paint, so please forgive me) the letters I think they could be next to the groupings of dots. Brace yourself for some MS Paint awesomeness...

 		Apologies if this has already been said, but I had some theories...

Reading the note sent by Craig to "Fred," I think that they are working on creating way to send messages through time. Craig says that "WEDIDIT!!!Oraregoingtoifyoucanwrapyourgrapearoundthat!" -- "We did it . . . or are going to". He also makes a big deal of the fact that IRIS is apparently reading Shanna's email "in real time." I think they are working on the project now, and the emails we're getting from IRIS are proof that they will make it work at some point in the future.

Has anyone asked Shanna about her mother? Assuming Shanna and Craig are telling the truth about the relationship they have, it occurs to me that a mother or step-mother of some kind could logically refer to both Shanna and Craig by pet names (like "ShanMyLove" and "MyDarling")...

 		Heh, I was thinking space invaders too Laughing

So I have gone back through the thread a few times and can't find it but somewhere there is a reference to Rapid City which I have never heard of and I thought it was a nickname of a town but it turns out there is a Rapid City SD and it is the gateway to the Black Hills sits at the foot of Mount Rushmore and until 1990 had 15 launch command centers for 150 minute man missle silos throughout SD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_City,_South_Dakota

Rapid City could have been Shanna location on twitter that now says South Dalota.

Also I noticed that

 		Bottom left corner of that picture Wulf posted. We have three new characters: Elton, Mari (Father and mother, I think) and Mari's Daughter Parrie Michelle.

In the Top Right corner, I spy with my little eye, something that Iris has been sending.
