Finally some action.


http://www.youtube.com/iDGi1


honestly I don't know what to make out of the videos except for them to be like a way to distribute the codes found throughout both of them.

Yay! I wake up this morning to a youtube channel! and numbers! W00t!

edit: Aw, still locked out of the satellite. Sad times.

Numbers from 1st video
symbol after smiley, top left
Creepy Room
Single--84
LA8084L0N4253
Q2FsaWJyYXR1IE9wZW5TZWMgMzQINQ==
--->Calibratu OpenSec 345

Followed by trilink symbol (kennedy) (flash of nixon during kennedy?)

Cartoon Still
Single --147
LA8081LO9351
followed by another symbol (1:11)

Detergent Ad
Single--273
LA7575LON12445


Numbers from second video
starts with a symbol...

Cobra(Addressing Vidal)
Single--42
LA7317LON3339
UHJpb3JpdHkgvmFsaWRhdG(l or I or 1?)vbiAzMjlyNC42
-->"Priority ¾alidation 329r4.6"

Hair Lady
Single--1260
LA6469LO1793

followed by symbol at 1:29 (what's for me?)

Creepy answering machine
single--903
LA5934LO17226
V(2/Z)(H?)ZSBSYW5(?)ZSBGcmvxdWVuY3kqNik5LjQzMw==
-->can't make any sense out of it, but that could be transcription errors.
words at the bottom are Propagandist (background)

If someone could double check, that'd be awesome. Looks like the first chunks are lat/long coordinates. The other chunks are base64--I'm unsure about some of those, and the translations will be affected if I'm wrong, so a double check would be good.

Not sure what to make of the coordinates, they don't seem to work. For those that don't know the degrees can go up to 180 and minutes (fractions of a degree) can't go over 60. Using to first set's latitude as an example, LA8084 would be 80 84' which is wrong because there can't be 84 minutes. The one that does work is LA7317LON3339 (from the cobra part, 2nd video) which is in the middle of the Barentsz Sea. Unless we get information (like a news article) that takes place in Norway or Russia I'll take this as a coincidence that works.

I think there's another way to read these so that they make sense but I can't think of anything at the moment. Any ideas from you navigators and cryptographers out there?

yay stuff!! after watching both videos it looks like more of Henry's personality is possibly coming through? That's all I can think of to explain the whackyness in the videos. I think the codes are what matters and the rest is just extra stuff henry found interesting, maybe?? So basically yeah... I'm going with what Turducken said Smile

Also John, I don't know sh*t about lat/long coordinates, but if I goto this site: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html and type latitude 80.84 and long 42.53 it gives me the middle of the Arctic Ocean, east of Greenland. Or if I make the 42.53 a -42.53 (as this one says LON4253 and the other doesn't have the "N") it gives me northern Greenland. According to this site, when displayed by minutes and seconds, the 80.84 is actually about 80 degrees, 49 minutes, 40 seconds.

I'm thinking the 84 is like a % of the minute/seconds put together???

Alright, I went over the coordinates again and they do make sense. Thanks goes to sublimetime for pointing out that they were decimals. I don't sh*t about coordinates either... They form a line that goes from Sweden, across the north coast of Russia, and ends up in the Bering Sea, assuming it goes left to right. Not a clue what to make of this though.

yay something new!

the symbols in the videos appear in roughly the same places as they do in the Project B6 page.

In order they are:

Vid 1
A
O
W

Vid 2
R
G
M


I have no idea what they mean at this point. Are we supposed to identify all the imagery and sounds??

Oh, I found the source of the "creepy answering machine"

It's from Laurie Anderson, "O Superman"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzYu88jIDYs

Love this! Brilliant. Apparently the IDGI-1 project is a big deal if THE Vidal is involved. Maybe I'm looking too far into this but if this whole experience hasn't been the definition of wild speculation then I don't know what is:

So Alvarez is a skilled hacker breaking into Worldview. The only people who have access to Worldview's network are the staff, Henry, and (assuming, but I think it's safe) the Guardians. There's no way the employees or Henry would redirect Alvarez to the now anti-Henry IDGI site. My theory is that a rogue employee (like Kevin) or the Guardians realized that these talents would be better suited to stop Henry.

Of course there's no proof of any of this, but if it turns out I'm right I want to be able to put my hand behind my head, cross my feet on the desk, lean back, and say, "I called it." Preferably with CSI Miami theme afterward. Cool

There's been another reply from that dude from the future on the IDGI forums. I guess we're going to get a chance to talk to him??

Quote:
Haha ok then! I don't really know how to take this. I'm kind of thinking that you are bullshitting me actually. Perhaps you work for Worldview and are screwing with me? But hey, what have I got to lose by playing along?

Yes it is the year 2028 where I am. You say I'm speaking to Vidal Desertch in the year 2010?? And I'm assuming you're still the founder of Interdimensional Games in your world? This is all pretty heavy on the weird side of things Vidal, since well, you died nearly two years ago. You and a group of like-minded people were shot and killed by the police after you demolished the Guardian Church headquarters in Calgary with enough explosives to level an entire city. You killed fifteen people in the attack and after your death, you were made to look like a terrorist madman by the Guardian Children and the press. This pretty much put a stop to a group you founded called the Guardian Deception Society and now the Church of the Guardians are stronger than ever with support from pretty much every country worldwide.

You also created a video game company in my past (also called Interdimensional Games) except there was never any magical interdimensional satellite connected to it. After creating a few pretty big failures (these games really sucked bad), you sold the company and were said to have gone underground. The Guardian Deception Society was then born a few years later, around 2018. IDGI-1 you said is this satellite name? I've never heard of such a thing. It's hard to believe that you have built an interdimensional satellite for the ultimate purpose of creating a video game... that sounds pretty insane to me! I'm assuming this means that your present and my past are very different things.

You say that you have been speaking with the Guardian Children in MY time? What the heck do they have to do with Worldview Industries? I don't pay much attention to these things but like I said, pretty much everyone in "my world" knows about the Church of the Guardians. I have a few friends whose entire families swear by them and their beliefs.

To answer YOUR questions:

1> I was hacking into the WI facility to piss off my father. He's kind of an asshole and after he and my mother split (he fucked off with some bimbo) I've been trying to make his life hell with my certain set of... skills. He works for WI and I've already easily hacked into his office here in Cuba and nearly got him fired. That was child's play. This facility in Mexico is the toughest security I've ever seen but it's only a matter of time before I figure it out. I'm still not entirely sure how I got directed to you. I'll get it right eventually and once they find out it was my father's son who broke through their security and caused havoc yet again... I'm pretty sure he'll be fired and that bitch girlfriend of his will leave him!
2> Yes, I believe I have figured out the structure to this forum of yours and can access other threads. Feel free to setup somewhere where I can speak with others and I'll do my best to answer any questions they may have.

Also, who or what is this "entity that calls itself Henry"??

heheh wowo, it's a public forum dude! We could have posted from the beginning of this conversation! I'm thinking now they'll actually make a new thread or something for us though?

And hey John, quick question for you. I'm diggin' your theory but just wondering why do you think its a "now anti-Henry IDGI site"? I don't think ive seen anything that would press or support that. The only thing I can think of was back when the Guardian Children were posting to IPAddresser, Vidal was making twitter posts saying we can't trust them, etc. So if anything he is anti-Guardian Children. No? If you're thinking because of the posts Henry made to the IPAddresser site waaay back, I still don't know what to think of those. It was soooo out of character and went against the rest of his communications with us. I hope they explain that soon because it was really damn strange. Like why would he post only a few messages to ipaddresser and then stop entirely only to give us coded messages with the .gif files and through the .txt files? messages too that were completely different than the IPaddresser messages!!

and damn WoWo, how in the world did you ever find that video?!?! that music video is even trippier than the answering machine clip in the unknown transmission!!!

I'm just going by where we are now. Henry is in a hibernation of sorts and the Guardian Children are preparing us to shut him down to stop him from destroying the world. The question is whether or not we can trust them. From the way Kevin talks about them they do seem like a nefarious organization, but then again Henry isn't completely trustworthy either.

He's only half trustworthy.
