Great job on the transcript! Was is just me or did Jay seem to appear at his desk in one frame and in the doorway another than back again?

The seed growing frame was interesting. Another b&w thing like the other only I didn't find any numbers/letters or anything in it.

I'm wondering if my seed(s) are going to cause me to start having problems like David? Shocked

ETA: Also at the desk Jay has no hat on and in the doorway he has a hat on. He is also holding something with a cord on it that goes into his pocket?

New Tweet from David:

Quote:
Saw the sleep specialist today. Pretty standard seeming questions about food and stuff. We're going to meet again soon as well.


'bout it'

Dunno

Snail mail arrived!

Got the "seed packet" in the mail. I received in the envelope a folded piece of letter size paper that was glued to another (2 sheets stuck together) with two pieces of burnt paper that appears to be from a pad off Dr. Basire's desk (it has his name on it). Also inbetween the glued folded sheets of paper is a small square piece of paper.

Hi,
Jumping in on this one since I need to start a new ARG. I caught up over the weekend and have been working on the two string of letters from the graffiti flyer. I've been trying all sorts of vigenere cracks and nothing has come up, the scrambled letters on the tree is even more difficult because cracking is dependent on letter order.

I've also emailed Blake an introduction and asked him a couple questions, seems like the tree moved toward David's house after the initial planting and Blake was the only student to get one of these seeds (independent studies.) No hidden or other messages from the entity.

I missed out on the Seed Giveaway but it seems like we need at least 4 people to get the complete QR code. I hope to be a little more helpful soon!

interesting, look at the top of the letter from this picture

http://img510.imageshack.us/i/hmmv.jpg/

NCMKIOA (assuming the handwritten 'a' is completing the partially destroyed letter)

the complete set of letters that blake gave in that email were "NCMKIOATIS" and of course there are the other letters to look for

so presumably completing the pieces of the letter will shed some more light on the relevance of this, ie whether it is a reference code, name, password, etc...

since the letter is from dr. basire, can we assume the odd email that blake got was an edited flyer from dr. basire?

Thanks for posting that! Anyone else get tweets tonight form David?

tweet 1 @ 8:55 pst: WEMAPTTY.SEPARCEE.DGRIOWTINIG.NROTOTES.
FARORM.BSLAACKN.DABFOVEE.NAOWR.INS.DAIRKT.BEMTWOEEVN-ES

tweet 2 @ 8:55 pst: Lunar Eclipse tonight! Crazy stuff. Blake's all kinds of excited.

Seems like he is unaware of first tweet sent seconds before he sent "second" tweet.... Shocked


oh and Blake's blog has two updates!

:Edit: Sonic, the letters are: NCMKIOAMS???) then the hand written a. the a looks like it was written after being burnt. the 3? are letters I cannot make out. they are right before the parentheses. also there are the following sets of letters below that: OATIS, then directly below TIS
these are unfinished as well.

Nice work! I can't make much sense of it though, 'water edit in teams and fears it move' ...maybe an anagram sentence?

I've been working on the Seed Package Clues, two of the burnt documents from another_pilot_dwn and emato go together (do i need spoiler for this?):
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Desk of Dr Basire

__, it's time we stopped this. The dreams haven't
__ow our careers have taken off since the incident,
__h it anymore? Is there a way for us to stop this?
__ have gone too far. I fertilized specimen three with
__ the student hasn't looked the same since. These
__tural Arthur, I fear it may happen again.

__ happened to Patr__


We get introduced to a new name and it seems like Dr Basire may know something of who Patrick is/was. Are there any other people that received seed packets that can post? I'm curious to see the design on the backs of the QR code and what the QR code says.

i think it's "watered it in teams" which seems to imply it's some sort of journal entry

but i agree that the two sentences that another_pilot_dwn got could be reordered at least, even combined, i cant see any obvious pattern for this other than the fullstops in the twitter.

just rotated one of the pictures sent to another_pilot_dwn as turning my head upside down was troublesome! looks like there's an 'L' and 'i' at the top of this, i'd assume that it's completed on another fragment, is there anything on the back?
