I've still had no luck at all.
Going to give in and ask for it, but not with out presenting what I've tried and such.

EDIT ::

While working on drafting an email, I realized, this Per Cole Thompson thing may be hinting at 'PCT' which is some times used as a abbreviation for 'percent', and, if you're describing a number as a percent, wouldn't you use a decimal point?

I'm going to go back and try again before mailing him. Wish me luck.

Edit 2 ::
Still no luck. I'mma give in and mail him.

Update ::

New email from Frank.

I'll look some more. His use of 'your' instead of "you're" makes me wonder if it's a subtle hint or if he's having a grammar-fail moment. He normally doesn't have those, but, people do make mistakes. Are there any other 'smaller' dates on there?

Oh... My... God. I'm a moron. I had another secret message from Frank in his last response. Maybe I'm missing something that links to Telos's puzzle.

This was in response to me questioning his motives in the "Tenets" messages he was encoding to us.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I feel like an idiot. The Base64 was printed in white font on a white background, so it just looked like a couple of extra lines in his email. Found it on a random hunch just now, a week and a half later. Anyway, it says "Does the Brotherhood know of your involvement?" To which my response was: "I am not connected with the Brotherhood. And I apologize for my late response, but you hid this message very well." Not sure if "lol" is approved IG, so in the end I decided to leave it out.
Just waiting on a response. Hopefully I can get something to help the "blood" puzzle.

I've been lurking on this one waiting for my response for a application. Any way did you try the date that subject 16 killed him self? or the day Desmond escaped since he said "your so close" I reckon it could be a date closer to the end of days thing.

Did we ever get that information?
I mean, I don't remember seeing it.

Bah. I emailed last night him but haven't gotten a response yet.
I have a feeling one more clue will push me forward.

New email from Frank.

You are on the right track. You are just thinking too specifically. I'll give you this hint that should help you since you don't want a hand out.

I'm pretty sure the first is FOUR. Not sure about the second. Going to give it some thought. Figured I'd post as soon as I got it, though, so I could get some outside thought.

Edit ::

FOUR NUMBERS.

I'm sure I got this now.

Update :
I'm in. Won't give spoilers, though.

Nope. But, I can't say any more for now.
Don't want to risk getting my clearance revoked.

Nothing major on the inside, though. Access to one vague report about Project Eden. There's a thing at the bottom that flashes fingerprints and numbers, like it's 'scanning' them. It moves too fast for me to write the stuff down. Going to try doing a screen recording, then slowing it down, if I can find where I put the disk with the install for that program.

well, telos was the "key" so we should all be getting some response to get things moving again soon. and i think i figured the PIN password out, but time will tell. good work telos. excited to see what happens now. i think this might have been a deliberate bottleneck of sorts to allow the PMs time to get things organized for the next few steps. which is a good sign for things to come.

I hope you're right, FirstSword82. I haven't heard back from Frank at all. I'm going to send him another email in the next couple days to make sure that he hasn't forgotten about me, haha.

Hey guys,

So having played AC2 I badly wanted to play an AC based ARG, even just a fan-made one (was even tempted to make one, haha) but it seems this one has already gone on for a month or so. I was gonna try follow it from the start myself, though, rather than just read your progress and try to join in.

I went to the site given in the first message, http://eden4.weebly.com/
But all there is there now is a login to a password protected area, obviously which I have no login too, however there is a link to "request" a password, which looks like a way to try and get involved... but this is pretty different from the site the first few posts described, so I just wanted to check that I had got the site right before I send some random person a message that makes me look crazy. Very Happy

Hey DLT, yes you got the right site. eden4.weebly.com was the first site that was put up and it did not look a thing like it does now.
And there were alot of crypted mails sent to people.

After a while the PM went in another direction and created abstergo.net which now is a place where you can "apply for a job". When and if you do get a job you will be sent some clues to the password for eden4.weebly.com. That is how much i understand. And don't bother requesting a password at that site. I have tried it a week ago and have not got a response.

Frank said all the future applications rested on me figuring out the login.
Now that I've bone that, I think he'll start to accept people

Aha, cool, thanks for the update. Guess I'll check out abstergo.net then and see if its not too late to get involved.


Edit: So, any advice on what to include in a "resume"? I'm always reluctant to get too deeply involved in these things because I don't want to start getting phonecalls or something. Shocked

I haven't gotten a phone call or anything.

Just pick a field, research what said field needs to get in. Find schools offering said studies, find jobs that require said studies, plug them in to a resume template. Say references will be withheld unless needed. Ect.
