 		saranna's latest vision

Quote:
Tips of gold and scarlet, a strange texture, like feathers
A millennium, or perhaps half
A river in the desert (Egypt?)
They are being burned alive?
Babies in swaddling
White men, all white, from head to toe (so white, they frighten them)


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
sounds like she is seeing a phoenix (which would link with the ashes and rising from the ashes theme of the latest legal pad page)

red and gold feathers, the phoenix was said to live 500 years, or 1,000 in some versions of the myth. the bird has links to egypt, and the city of heliopolis. would also fit in with the meta for the ARG of reincarnation.

 		New email from PIMCA:
Quote:
If you make it to level II
you will find an important clue.
Yes, clues abound with little sense
while you tear down another fence
but save them up like silver coin
find a way together to join
the pieces that come at a faster speed
and give to you the answers you need.


Also the PIMCA site has been updated with a Level Two Clearence.

 		Did anyone else get the thing with the sword?

I haven't been playing this game, so I have no idea what's up.

Dear Friend,

I need your help in trying to bring down a powerful and dangerous organization. I'm not entirely sure of their purpose, but I know that it's not for the common good. Frankly, they are evil.

I have people helping me but I am sending out this plea to as many others as I can, because I believe a friend of mine is in danger of being taken by these people.

One friend has already been taken and families have been destroyed. It's time to stop this once and for all. I'm tired of waiting around and plan to take action soon.

Please take the attached image and email it to the agent on call. You can find their information on the PIMCA website.

I will be forever in your debt.

Sincerely,

Saranna



I sent the attached image...waiting for reply. A call to arms I would think.

i intercepted this
...
From:
"agentoncall@pimca.org" <agentoncall>

Several emails have gone out already from the other agent on call, but I am able to send this to you, and you only. No time for more.

What was that picture you attached? Never mind...

 		Got this: (Also impressed with the fast reply!) I wonder how many agents they have on call at once...

This is getting ridiculous. Who are you people? We rarely get these, and now they are pouring in.

Keep the following info handy. If tonight is any indication, you'll need it.

January 1887
61 patients
Building D

 		There's been something added to the PIMCA home page. Seems in 4 seperate boxes we have the four directions N,E,S,W. Not sure why though.

Also new add on the Tarot blog. There's a new tab called Crystal Ball.

 		Sent the picture as requested by Sarrana and the following reply pretty much straight away:

Nice catches. Reckon Saranna is saying the plan is still unfolding. It looks good for a Vigenere cipher with key"fortune".

My best guess is the anagrammed letters give atm: "Acquire Half Bef(ore) GMT". Just something to keep in mind maybe? Smile

 		So, are we 100% that the Forest that Saranna talks about is the Forest from FFEYT? Can we count all the information in both games as IG for both then? Or is it just a quick cross reference and then forget it?

Heya distilled. Am Dunno @operator0013: Since there's really no supporting vowels for the two "QU" thought it might be keyed.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Vigenere cipher with the keyword "sword"

Answer: when you ready i will send you the key

 		I got the same thing about January 1887.

If you need anyone to actually GO over there for some reason, I may be able to help.

 		Oh crap... Embarassed

Sent the whole email from Saranna to PIMCA; this is what happens when you try to do something game-related in the middle of the day...

Anyway, tried to stay IC and see if they'll give me some info now that I've helped them...oh dear...

Maybe someone should warn Saranna...

SarANNA? Are you kidding me? That lightweight thinks she is going to take us down? HA!

By the way, did she tell you to forward her entire email to us? (snort) You might want to be careful about what you share and who you share it with.

Well, gotta do my job, so here ya go:

January 1887
61 patients
Building D



and my response

You want inside information, or don't you? Maybe pass the information up the chain of command to someone who knows what they are doing, dummy...

 		More back and forthing here

from agent on call

Quote:
Inside information? Bahahahaha! Higher up the chain of command? AS IF! You don't want to mess with those guys...

Look, they're not playing games here.

zhqvwosmagsazlwxezeekdniszrugwchagsthqpheog


Letter string is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Vignere cipher with pwd 'games', which gives

'there is a woman here named beatrice who can help you'



So I sent back


Quote:
I'm not playing games either. Guess I'll just have to contact someone else; thanks for nothin'

chmxaybqelxioikraexfgmq


Which is 'what is beatrice's last name'; thinking we can get an email address for her more easily that way?

Will see if she bites...

Also, seems like it was agentoncall that sent the coded message, rather than Beatrice herself, so there are factions within PIMCA now, rather than a lone wolf?

ETA: New updates on the blog. Moon card is a quote from Percy Bysshe Shelley, and binary says

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Shelley.

so maybe her name is Beatrice Shelley? Or maybe another of the second faction?


Another code on the SUN card someone else can have a go at.
Who's Robert anyway?
