 		There are also 14 appendixes, 1.1-1.10, 2.1-2.3 and 3.1, might have to do with them? Also the videos of Libya and My Favourite Place have been changed.

This is what I get for playing Dragon Age. Stupid me.

 		Letters from Herbal medicines PDF
Ok looking at letters all day is driving me crazy. Looking at the first number as the page number and the second as the number of characters, here is what i got:

HOADUMFRONO

EUIHUE

Not much help. But maybe someone else can see something. I tried anagrams but nothing seems to work.

 		Hiya all - trying to catchup in this Smile

Video 0854 : She's all excited about mixing the serum with half a sleeping tablet and she slept for 26 hours?

I haven't read through all 16 pages so apologies if this has been mentioned before, they obviously are working on some sort of synthetic drug amplifier. Which would clearly make pharmaceutical companies unhappy, is it possible that Dave or the UKSRI have been influenced by outside interests?

P.s. this is my first ARG since Vanishing Point years ago Smile

 		what really happened?
thinking out loud
inventions can change life on this planet, in a good or bad fashion, but at the conception of an idea it can be hard for the scientist to predict how it will play out. the research can be aimed at one field of use, but the ones in charge can have different plans. even so, the idea of the mad scientist is strong in modern society. this is unfair.

way back, the inventor owned his invention. but the usual way nowadays is that the employer owns everything the scientist researches on company time. so what shall a scientist do, if she discovers that something she was hoping would benifit mankind and the environment, instead will be used in some unethical way? to try to keep the research from the employers, i guess, would be viewed as stealing.

is there a possibility that J arranged for her own disappearence with a fake kidnapping, after 'stealing' the research she's been doing? but what about the black helix tattoo and that the video was leaked onto youtube? And if there is a code to be solved, is that J leaving it, or someone else, and who for? do you have answers for those things?

 		Ok so I'm still on Video 0854 - this is the unpublished test (unofficial) of Zolpidem + the serum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zolpidem

"Side-effects at any dose may include:
Nausea
Vomiting"

Which would explain why she's feeling rough, anyone else want to guess that's what she was injected with?

I believe the video was filmed at 2:30am Saturday 25th December 2010

 		I got a reply too, in response to asking if there was anyone I could talk to about the nature of their work.

So really, this doesn't reveal much.
Did anyone else send an email about being a journalist, trying to interview one of Jessica's co-workers?


Ugh, that number code is killing me too. Part of it is I don't know where to start. Should the headers be counted? If it refers to words, should it be only full words or abbreviations too? What about non-alphabetical characters, or the letters in the pictures? No matter what I try I can't get anything intelligible.

 		Zolpidem
zleepwalking zombies
this is the wiki part about Zolpidem that tickles my imagination:
Quote:
A person under the influence of this medication may seem fully aware of their environment even though they are still asleep. This can bring about concerns for the safety of the sleepwalker and others. These side-effects may be related to the mechanism that also causes zolpidem to produce its hypnotic properties.


Imagine, J-drug enhanced zolipidem in the food or water or the like. Mass hypnosis of the people. ta-da: modern day zombies!

(the original zombie was not a undead person, but a person made to believe he was dead that acted as a servant of the witchdoctor. i learned that from Riget by Lars von Trier)

 		definitely agree with you on this, most of the videos in her private section on the Intranet are about LSD and its widespread testing. She also has a page from Project MKULTRA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKULTRA

"Declassified MKULTRA documents indicate hypnosis was studied in the early 1950s. Experimental goals included: the creation of "hypnotically induced anxieties," "hypnotically increasing ability to learn and recall complex written matter," studying hypnosis and polygraph examinations, "hypnotically increasing ability to observe and recall complex arrangements of physical objects," and studying "relationship of personality to susceptibility to hypnosis."[31] Experiments were conducted with drug induced hypnosis and with anterograde and retrograde amnesia while under the influence of such drugs."

I wonder if she is scared the drug could be used by goverments for alterior motives?
