 		Anything significant to find from reversing this particular audio segment?

 		Huh, I'd never read the "About" section of Donna's blog before:

Quote:
Hi! My name is Donna, and I live just outside Ithaca with my girlfriend who I love very much. I myself am a lowly shopgirl, but Sophie works as a receptionist in some office building and basically gets paid more than I do to sit around on her ass all day answering phones and accepting mail.

That's okay, I love her anyway. Smile


So we know Sophie's a receptionist in an office building.

Not that I can tell.

 		"Ryan, I really need you to today." "Help" "Please."

That's what I got out of it.

In reverse, it sounds like gibberish.

Edit::
I had a thought. What if because we haven't told her the 'save Sophie' bit yet, the 'future her' (or what ever it is.) is still trying to point us to it? If we told her about it - we may be put on another track?

iunno. I still think I've burnt out my brain.

 		I'm pretty sure we got it going the right way. I reversed it when I originally started messing with it, and it sounded backwards, if that makes sense. Like imagine spinning a record backwards. It just didn't sound right.

EDIT: If you don't care about meta stuff, don't bother reading this. Basically what I'm trying to say is "Telos, you're right."

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We could solve every puzzle, and make all the progress in the world. But if the PM is following the rules and not breaking the fourth wall, then we need to let them know we're making progress. Donna is our only contact, so it's very, very possible that she was waiting for us to confirm we heard/saw something. So yeah, I think we need to tell her exactly what we heard in the clip from the video.

 		I told her about the save Sophie clip last night late. No reply yet.

 		New tweet. Another link to a sendspace file.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Reversed: "Tell Sophie not to fail". (I think the last word is "fail" - not positive).

 		There's definitely talking and it's sped up, the plot thickens.

EDIT : I was wondering, should we be contacting Sophie directly about this? (Is it even possible for us to find a way to?) Our only option at the moment would appear that we tell DONNA to tell sophie.

Sounds like "Tell sophie not to fear" to me.

Not sure about that. Trying to clean up the noise and amplify that part.


Working on it still.

I'm definitely getting an "f" sound. "Tell Sophie not to fear" is starting to sound correct.


@Jacko - I don't think we have any way to contact Sophie. There aren't any unusual friends on Donna's twitter -- mostly people here and a few ad spammers. The only info we have about her has come from Donna. Telos already brought up the possibility of time travel with her and, so far, she doesn't seem too awfully freaked out by it, yet.

 		Just noticed something.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The sounds we were getting before were from the videos, and pure mono tracks. The last two audio files came as stereo MP3s...AFTER I posted the youtube link on how to remove vocals from MP3s. I'm thinking that if we use the method in that video, we may get closer to solving it. Here's the link again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqXiKYG3J7M


Edit ::

Also, on the subject of the 4th wall. Assume it is future Donna warning past Donna. Future Donna would probably know about this whole chain of events going on right now here on UF - correct? It wouldn't be breaking the 4th wall (or Metagaming, as I know it from my times RPing.) because the future character could have knowledge of it, even if her present version doesn't. Meaning anything we post here would be able to be used to push us towards the correct meanings of the clues.

Just my take on it.

Edit 2:
Adding the edited file after following the youtube instructions and applying amplify.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sounds a hell of a lot like "Tell Sophie not to fear."

I tend to agree with you there, it's fear. I think we can also pretty much confirm that it's Donna in the audio clip? Or rather 'Future Donna' if we use a theory someone suggested.

I would have to say it is Donna. 'Future Donna' to be exact - if we are going to use that theory (which is the only thing that really seems to fit.)


I expect something happens tonight when she goes to get Sophie...
