I get the feeling that these files from Loki's computer will help us crack it. Sigyn was saying that Loki was 'so close', and that she couldn't make sense of the jumble of letters and numbers that were Loki's notes.

For everyone who's seen issue #1 of Old Soldiers, the password is none of the combos listed on Kay Curran's notes.

Can you make out the orange letters Karl Justice is holding in his hand during Quinn's vision? KJ says, "I hold in my hand, the key to everything."

 		Sorry for the double post, but I sent an email to Sigyn about perhaps scanning some of Loki's notes for us to see. Although she didn't do that, she sent this email hinting about Kay Curran's notes would point to her password. I've tried numerous combinations of the three passwords written in the paper in the comic.

I know, I keep on looking . I just wish there was a wy for us to get in her office, I bet we could find the passwords somewhere in there...But that's in the FBI building..

 		FAF Content
Okay, I've skimmed the emails on the website. Of particular interest is the following..

1) The website seems to no longer be in use due to, presumably, repeated attempts at hacking.

2) Kay Curran seems to be in communcation with someone who has inside information Loki. They've been offering her information about Loki's whereabouts.

3) A link to a website with an article. http://www.ny-eagle.com/bustech_crime.html

4) What appears to be Karl Justice Autopsy report. It mentions massive trauma due to high explosive.

5) A word document outlining the possible theft/assumption of Karl Justice's identity by a doppelganger. This seems likely due to point 4.

6) The transcription of the trial of Karl Justice. The end of this document is cut off. Possibly due to the explosion which killed Karl himself?

That was the first password I tried when we got the original email from Sigyn on the 24th, I know others tried it also. Evil or Very Mad

I don't know if this was just a mistake by the PMs, that the password wasn't set up to give us access immediately, or if the delay was done on purpose, maybe to sell more copies of issue one. But, it's very frustrating to have the correct answer that doesn't work for almost 4 days.

 		Well yeah, I'm not sure why it didn't work before, but it's definitely working now.

 		When you gain access to Curran_Kay, you see a lot of emails offering information. Were these people on here, emailing Agent Curran and trying to get some info?

Or was someone betraying Loki? If so, who?

New email... new message. !!!

No metadata I can see. Is it some backwards/weird arabic?

 		I received the same e-mail after filling in the job app on odd-jobs. (this is my first ARG)

I've been going through the topic up to now and i've been going through Kay Curran's emails, and the writing in the e-mail reminds me of the graffiti found on the news website in Curran's inbox:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.ny-eagle.com/Arts-life_graffitti.html


-Edit-
Because some post earlier said to keep the bic pen cipher in mind if we stumbled upon something with lots of pointless numbers, i went and translated the first map piece with the following number to letter logic:

Code:
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
E  P  B  R  U  K  F  H  A  C  Z  O  M  V  G  T  Q  I  L  S  W  Y  J  X  N  D

(i hope it formats right)

This gave me:

Code:
E H L O H W J L A U H Y E
A E O I N D W R P T L Y
O J E B G E R J D G F V
I I W S K U O Y Q G M
P K F O M N Q R J I Z A
V I Q E H O M V G Y W
J O I U K O E M A Q P K A
O E P V J W Y T H B P Q
L W E P U G L I H K T O
W J Q P E B F I S X D M


It seems to be gibberish to me, but perhaps you guys (and gals) can think of something.

 		I noticed the graffiti too, obvs this is important we break the visual code!
I've been searching on "psuedo-Arabic" fonts... I found this one:
http://www.dafont.com/running-smobble.font


It also looks a lot like "Perso-Arabic" script, which is how Urdu is written.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perso-Arabic_script


If you turn it on its side it almost looks like these but I'm going to print it out and play with it when I have some more time....

 		A quick faff about with RotN gave me nothing on the attached .jpg, I could try some simple letter frequency stuff but i doubt it'll do anything.

It's probably better if someone with better cryptology skills looks at it.

 		Hey All,

Just a quick question. I have followed this thread somewhat and would really like to get involved, along with some friends, I filled in the initial job form at odd jobs and was just wondering if anyone knows how long it will take for a response, if at all. Is it worth pursuing this or have we came in to late. Would love to pick it up from the start and work my way through it

Cheers for any info Whiskey J
