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

*snip reply*

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?


I sent an email to the info@ address saying I was investigating Jessica's disappearance and I got a reply:

Quote:
Hi Agent Verne,



Unfortunately at this current time we cannot disclose any information about Jessica due to the restrictions of the case.



Please note, any correspondence regarding Jessica Harrington during this period is being forwarded onto the appropriate authorities. They may be in contact and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

 		Re: Zolpidem
zleepwalking zombies
I am no good at codes, puzzles, cyphers and the like - I love the story adn research part - the drug synergy, Zolpidem and her blog about meeting a witch doctor is what caught my interest - I got the proposal form today and I am filling out a proposal based on some research i did between Vodun rituals, Zolpodem, recombinent drugs and other nice related materials - I had been thinking about the zombie part too and then saw that in the wiki entry - later tonight I am looking into the drug and a couple things then sending in my proposal - anyone wanna do a joint venture?

Also the proposal asks for referees which I believe are references - they want full names and addys... should they be in game people or real people? What do people think?

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)

 		I'm sure it's nothing, but in an ARG nothing can often mean everything- Jess' second video log, in which the camera tips forward? She's recording on a green screen. Watch the background behind her as it tips. it stays in static place and moves with the camera. Odd. Probably nothing.

Two words: button mashing
Or the laptop equivalent, anyway. One finger on the touchpad, the other on left mousebutton. And then you move the pointer around clicking wildly...at least that's what I did Razz


I'm using a laptop and this is what I did, also...however it still took me a few times to get pass the 8/9. I almost gave up, it began to frustrate me.

 		Jessica's email
daendil wrote:
Up to speed with the achievements, and am too tired to do much work on the Herbal Medicines code and the mystery (phone?) number code tonight.

Also, I sent a feeler email to Jess's work account (sort of an "is anyone out there" thing), will see if I get a hit.

That's all for me tonight - brain is fried. What a week!! Very Happy


I sent an email to Jessica's work email, saying something along the line of I'm trying to reach her and if anyone monitors her email to get back to me or have Jessica get in touch with me. No response yet.

Has anyone emailed Pharmucom?


I emailed the address that was provided on their website, saying:
"Dear whom it may concern,
My name is ---------. I currently live in -------- (United States) and have completed my Bachelor degree in Psychology. I am currently looking at different companies for possible job opportunities. I am looking both in the United States and overseas. I will being considering the about of knowledge I can gain from my experience at these companies, as well as where it might lead me to in the future, and the amount of money offered. If you could send me some information about Pharmucom's company and what areas of research Pharmucom participates in. Thank you for your time."
I haven't received a response yet.

 		My 2 cents
So I may not have any complex theories regarding her drug serum, but I have taken a decent amount of notes on her blog, her UKSRI profile and other miscellaneous yet probably important aspects (some may already be posted, but I figured with this we can have a group of all the clues):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

BLACK HELIX WEBSITE BACKGROUND IMAGE
-Sounds Of Hamburg logo, this symbol is also seen: {] (rotated 90 degrees clockwise)
--Sound Of Hamburg is a website for composing your own classical music using prerecorded loops and an interesting GUI
--Possibly live cameras?
-Rwanda Clove (seen on the far right)
-204 degrees (seen on the far right)
-40 or 400 (seen on the right)
-87-92, another 92 connected below the 87 (seen on the right)
-41 g? (seen on the right near the bottom)
-#3 (seen on the right near the bottom)
-Ca (large C, small a) (seen on the left) (possibly the scientific annotation for calcium?)
-Bu (possibly continued, its unclear) (seen on the left)

-Jor (no idea) (seen on the left near the top)
-Images of oil drums
-Shadow of a male on a cell phone
-Some sort of equation n the upper left corner: ?=INS (can't make out whatever the question mark is, Jor is just below this.) (upper left hand corner)

LOG VIDEO 002
-Camera falls to reveal note:
--"FEED CATS!!
DAVE 078 101 541 67"

WOUND HEALING PDF
-Exact copy of the "Healthy Synergies" issue, minus the code at the bottom of the page (I used periods, but the dots are n the center between the numbers, like a multiplication symbol):
--

1.21-2.5-5.64-10.37-4.5-12.35-7.1-14.3-13.76-5.13-11.17

2.68-9.5-3.14-9.12-9.5-2.68

I know these look like book cypher codes, but has anyone tried them in a mathematical equation? As for the book cypher, I took the result, joeithfrom do hsiosh and plugged it into an anagram generator as well, coming up with but one significant answer:
-Iodise Forth Josh Ohm

I remember J mentioning something about adding Iodine to her serum, so that really stood out. As for Forth, Josh and Ohm, I have no idea.




There we go, pretty much all I've gathered so far (today, lol).

 		I'm going to back up as much of the documents as I can to the wiki, I have a gut feeling her profile is going to be wiped after the "system maintenance"
