Very nice job! For some reason Lewis just sent me that PW 'tho I've not traded anything with him due to such high stakes.

ETA: Here's the HBEGEWUZKUUW.7z poker hand PW with a boat-load of info that am hoping Wallace gets to see first:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
12345

Uitbarsting.wav is Dutch for Eruptions & the other is thunderroad. Am too pooped to mess with the audio so plse go for it.

Long txt file is "the future lightning city" @ROT1 & one of the Google links in the air.txt is Ratus Tar, an anagram for Tartarus. The other Google link is "Boudicca" who is "blurbs" in always-cryptic Bob's Blackbox. Plus there's two Youtube vids in air.txt.

Received the following email from Style:

RE: Zeit-Durchlaufe.wav & Mountain
|Lewis Style
show details 19:04 (13 hours ago)

Long time no speak, I thought I'd send an email to all my sources with regard to data found.

"Cardiff destroyed by dirty bomb." - I assume this is from a password protected file, which none of you have offered to me in return for more information.

Sounds like Bob is trying to scare you into action and after reading Wallace's recent blog entry I can understand why. Doesn't surprise me in the least, that's hackers for you.

Bob has done an annoyingly good job of covering his tracks so far, but according to Wallace he makes mistakes and when he does I will be there to offer him loads of cash. I'm sure he won't the mistake of saying no.

Professor Drake another source of information which Wallace has failed to suck dry, so far Drake isn't talking to me either but my field agents are well trained and know just how much to offer. Everyone has a price.

I finally found the mountain that Cpl. Jack Wright vanished from, took quite a bit of money changing hands. Course now I've got the location not sure I can trust the field team to check it out not mention there is no direct evidence of how to extract the energy that obviously collects there.

Bob is a betting man I wonder how he favours his chances...

Any information you want from me, you know the price. There have been several uploads by Bob all with protected files.

Don't wait too long, the mountain beckons...

Lewis.


I need a coffee before starting work again, but the info is there if you want it!

ps. I've also just seen that there was a quoted msg underneath - was this from one of you guys, or is it an IG character?

Hadn't mailed with Lewis due to the high stakes and believe he's not bluffing about his knowing the mountain's name. My guess is Pumlumon Fawr and reckon he'll head there when he learns "how to extract the energy that obviously collects there".

That's the subject of HBEGEWUZKUUW.7z. Am hearing in thunderroad.wav: "I Thunder Road. I strikes everything he sends."
And in uitbarstingen.wav: "I run energy bursts in the atmosphere."

After lots of fiddling around, I can open files again Smile

What I hear:
Like (or on) thunderroad, lighting strikes every few seconds

I am an energy burst in the atmosphere

Booba, am so doing the happy dance and sure you're hearing those better than me.

There's one undone audio in the "wyth.7z" (PW: Lawrence) called arf.wav (Welsh: weapon) if you or someone has the time.

Wallace in an email wrote:
Louise has already read your email and typed Boudicca intot he Blackbox getting "Blurbs", have you tried typing Arthur as well? I can't find it on my PC (well it is Louise's actually). Louise says to Google the terms together like I'm that stupid not to Wink

This maybe the evidence I need to crack Drake, everything does seem to be pointing towards Pumlumon Fawr, I'd prefer confirmation though. Hopefully when I confront Drake he will confirm it. More information the better of course, though I might have to bluff him.

I suggest you keep feeding Style with information though nothing too exact, we don't want him getting impatient, got a real nasty feeling about that guy!

Just tried a lil trade with Lewis with Booba's written transcript which is way better than mine so *fingers crossed*.
My Audacity version has "an untoasted" Laughing and Arthur is listed as "unexplained" in Bob's Blackbox.

Bob has an uplaod (wyth.7z Welsh=eight) with a cryptic Jpg (wood for the trees) & the mist lifted on the "Ruigzout.7z" PW:

Typhon (case sensitive)....father of the Chimera, tying in the hidden word's Lord's Prayer (Our Father) clue Embarassed

It contains just one file, Ruigzout.wav, which is attached cos it's a set of coords, a nice payoff. Tweak for yourselves plse.

ModalRealism, as you're very new here am mentioning to you that uF is noted for "playing nice". It's also noted for its collaboration so while it may not stand out what you said on previous pages that doesn't mean it wasn't appreciated. Smile

ETA: Back on topic, maybe the 'Wood for the trees' suggests the PW isn't a detail like a vid title or is something obscured?

The "Wood for the trees" reference means being unable to see the big picture because one is concentrating on the details. Most of the DVDs are Sci-Fi, but not all. So I doubt that's it. Could simply be "disk" or "film". Or ...?

Also I believe the Ruigzout audio says "We pinpointed origin ...
if you want to be precise.


(I wasn't blowing my own horn, I was commenting on your treatment of LurkerGuy89. A bit snippy if you ask me. Which you didn't. BTW just because my current incarnation is "new" here doesn't mean that I am.)

ModalRealism, since you're new here am mentioning to you that the uF TOS precludes personal attacks and offensive, negative posts about your fellow forum members.

Am happy not to report this one, this time to the admins. Obviously, it's so unfounded that I had zilch idea what you were up to about me personally. Am sincerely hoping not to comment further on this for the other players' sakes.
