on the http://tartaruspharm.com/html/about.html page. E c h i d n a are highlighted. this would make sense if its the password. And I don't think so, but thanks for trouting yourself anyway.

Haha, its what I do best!

And I dont think I should have known the username and password yet because im pretty sure they can be derived from the site.. But the link that was on the twitter brought us the page anyway so oh well.

I scanned facebook for some more Tartarus employees and found Carter Toren:
/Meta PMs mispelled Tartarus as "Tartaurs"
Here is the link to his: http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=tartaurs&init=quick#/profile.php?id=1795251329&ref=search&sid=569657189.803531960..1

This sounds interesting (zombies always do), plus I live about 30 minutes away from dc , so I think I might be of some help on this one if interactions are needed.

consarn'd rassa-frassn' US centred ARGs....

Whatever,
I'll just have to follow from the comfort of my chair.

I'm in.

*EDIT*
Unmortal,
QR codes ey? They came up in the Star Trek ARG and had to be fed back to another website to decode them. I don't think there is an 'absolute' translation for a QR code, I think it depends on the programme you feed them into...
Maybe we're still missing something.
Any chance you could get a pic of one of those posters & put it up here?

Looks interesting... I'll suppose I'll follow this one. Even if it is a bit too "obvious ARG" for my taste. Not like that's a paradox or anything.
What exactly is going on now? Some on-ground scouting around DC for "evidence"?

Tartarus is the Hell of Greek mythology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartarus

And Echinda (from the clue on the "About" page) is literally the mother of all monster in Greek mythology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinda

It you watch the YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHh8lwwzJpY

Pause it on the text at the end. Note the first word is not capitalized but several other letters are. They spell LIVING DEAD. <cue>

Some other funny things I noticed from the Tartarus website:

The photo of Dr Farbius Glustenblaat is titled, "Ernie.jpg"

"Also, it houses one of the worlds few level four bio-contamination facilities." Its not that rare; Wiki lists about 40 other places w/ Level 4 bio labs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_level#Biosafety_level_4

"Tartarus' first success was a drug that blocked the serotonin receptors overloaded by commonly abused hallucinogens." So they created a SSRI, like Prozac?

There is a link on the main page to a broke or dead url: http://tartaruspharm.com/html/about_staff.html
