Modal, nice call and that being a barcode. Did you tell Louise what it was?

Lewis Style mailed me very late yesterday proposing a trade of the Pedair PW so asked him about JAFO & the .wav transcript.
Lewis wrote:
I don't know what you are talking about regarding JAFO incursion, however I can give the first part the transcript:
"This is Major E Denton transmitting"
Incidentally I did a check there is currently no Major E Denton serving anywhere in the world today.


He mailed again (see below) just as I'de realized that maybe "Denton" isn't a person but a UK location with Roman ruins (re Bob's books) and "Major E" isn't a rank but a harmonic tone on the Circle of fifths which resemble the stone circle rings.
Lewis wrote:
Get me the other password and you can have the rest.

Possibly there's something pre-Roman below Hadrian's Wall & the transmission locations are more valuable than what's said?
Proposed a trade for the identity of Major E. Denton. Lewis' reply came this a.m. and might back up the pre-Roman theory.
Lewis wrote:
You can have the rest of the transcript but not the analysis. that comes after you've supplied the scoop as you put it.
Complete transcript is: "This is Major E Denton transmitting from Garrison Below Sector 41"

What about the other password, seems to me that Jo Conrad book is out of place maybe is it high lighting a book next to it. Just an idea, it doesn't seem to get me closer to the password though

And Lewis' final trade email wrote:
I'm more inclined to believe that it is a real name. However true to my word here is the summary analysis:

Summary of Wav File Analysis from four different experts
Voice on the sound file is definitely human and not computer generated.
Signal appears to be a Medium Wave running at approximately 333kHz.
Oddities within the signal appear to be very different from anything I've heard before
Detection finds a phase modulation within the signal which encodes four digits: 2023
Detection finds a phase modulation within the signal which encodes the following phrase: BAD MAGIC
Doesn't appear to have Ionospheric skip, signal must be point to point
Static is inconsistent with known trends

I'm having the recent files looked at as well.

The Barcode

Hey guys,

I know I'm new to thwe website so let me know if I'm way off base, but this thing about the barcode and the site getting hacked has me perplexed. It seems to me that JAFO must be the person that put the barcode onto the website.

The Leamas thing has me perplexed. I know that Leamas is one of the characters in the novel The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. I'm inclined to think this is unrelated and the more likely eplanation is that you seperate Leamas into two words: Lea Mas which in spanish means "read more"

Maybe JAFO will be hiding more info on the website soon?

I agree about the "lea mas" meaning "read more".

There's more from Bob.

1. A file called "naivynoebamr.txt" (that Rots to "anvilabronze") A Bronze Anvil

It contains the text "nomn pily". Nomn rots to "high", pily rots to "slob". ?????


2. A unix file called "flows" which I can't seem to do anything with on my mac.

3. Another PW protected archive called "orbis".

Good luck.

Thanks Amandel for getting the text file. It's an obvious reference to Texas Hold 'Em. Two cards dealt to each player, are matched with three of five cards dealt face up, to make the best hand. The five cards dealt face up, are called, the flop, the turn, and the river. The couples and threesomes, is a full house. Suited travelers, is a flush, and those with heart that stand straight is a hearts straight flush. The four I'm assuming is four of a kind.

Quote:
Shuffle River (Copyright 2007)
by

G.J. Jones

The cards shuffle and are cut to the quick,
Cards are passed from body to body,
The circle rises and passes,
The first three roads are opened to the travellers.


Road users check to other travellers,
While others make passes to different journeys,
Hardier users rise to the top of the hill,
There they see a turning which takes them to the river.


The river is wide and treacherous but a ferry runs there,
The Ferryman�s toll is always in flux,
Only those with heart will cross,
The ferry only takes one but some have swum to a split victory.


The showdown on the river�s jetty,
Has a full house and on rare occasions there is a Royal appearance,
Couples and threesomes scared of suited travellers cower together,
Whilst those with heart stand straight against the sign of the Four.

Aha, Enaxor, that makes sense. Cool Re the "gwreiddyn.7z" zip: Here's the PW for "saith.7z" containing one wav file titled "gwreiddyn" (Welsh meaning is root, origin)

Nice one Amandel! And here is the password to the orbis zipped file, which is also another sound file.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"poker"


*eta So maybe we can work a deal with Lewis and supply the passwords one at a time. Give him one PW, in exchange for analysis of the previous sound file, etc...

Rock On Enaxor! Good idea. Card shark Style will surely be contacting you for a deal. **humming Kenny Rodgers**
Lewis just now wrote:
A researcher of mine found an obscure reference fictional reference to Major Eugene "Sam" Denton, I'll let you search for it. I see there is a new zip file, what's the password?

Have requested to Lewis that he must ask another of his ctcs (go Enaxor!) for for latest (Orbis) PW.
Here's the Major Denton reffy:http://tinyurl.com/4hknnlk Some of the Movie Quotes are interesting and Hehe-larious

updates

Home at Missing Wallace has a new barcode (images/2-1.gif) with a sardonic msg (Reference) which reads at Zxing as:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
God I'm bored - Samael

Wallace's Case file is updated and Bob has an upload with "lorenz" leading to 2 Youtube vids and "ozmhb.7z" whose PW is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"panic"....ROT 1 of the file name

And Wallace in an email wrote:
Only one comment: BAD MAGIC is radio slang for something, can't remember
what. Can you look into it for please. Been suffering from a migraine all day had to cancel my lunch date.

Am clueless about "BAD MAGIC" even after searching. Hope one of y'all can find it for Wallace and who is this Bob fella. Confused

Two new items were added to the Bob files; a picture file and a txt file. The text file is an anagram...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Coke a Fob" is an anagram of Facebook and leads to an account for Samael Leamas. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001934833908


I'm not sure where any of this is going, it almost feels like a gamejack, although I don't think it is.
