No time to work on it now, but we could use the key for the part1.txt binary because of the way that each answer flows into the next key. It'd help eliminate what's been used and what hasn't. We still have 19980 and Richard Cox.

Hi folks. Apologies for my abcense but work got in the way. Just a few thoughts before I turn back to hammering at the password on that fred_part1 file.

Have been thinking about 19980 and wondered if it may refer to this:

Um... I don't know if this is still relevant or not, but after I e-mailed Louise, I got a weird message back from someone else.

I'm not supposed to say where I got it from, and the message has to be edited a bit, but the gist of it is this:

There's no key for the fred.txt binary. It's ROT 17. Am amending my original post made kinda late last night just to get the wheels in motion with my instincts saying (still) that this drop to Louise isn't related to our code/key sequence thus far.

Being a wheat from chaff girl have concentrated on the ZIP PW, part1 of Fred's work he told Roxie to deliver at the right time. Maybe it's "George" (autopilot) related? ReygaPrax, you were missed and your "19980" research is mega interesting. TGIF!!

I got a reply from Wallace! It has a lot of important info on the Red Ripped Club's history and what a Blue Zone is. More tonight when I can post it up here on a computer and not on my cell phone.

Hey! As promised, I am posting my most recent correspondance with Wallace here:

[reesylou]

Phew. There is so much going on here it is hard to keep up... and more importantly, while putting the wiki together some of the little things in earlier posts and correspondence have now jumped out at me and there are all kinds of other things that we still need to follow up.

I'm still in the early stages of the wiki, but a few of the things that have jumped out:

* The suited "fridge movers" who matched the description of Carrie Brown's killers referred to each other as Bill and Red (possibly the Red Ripper?)
* 'The Rocket Men of Shen': a "secret" society at Cambridge- apparently name by F.P. Sun and having 9 members - we should ask Bill Rourke what he knows about it.
* FP Sun didn't seem to age much (according to Edward)
* The Red Ripper is in the Blue Zone where ppl seem to age slowly/live longer
* 'The Rocket Men of Shen': included Joseph Kat (dead), F.P. Sun (now dead), Inpector Tomas Galesh, Edward Maad, Jeff Cox (recently died of heart attack), Dwight Sunderland, Johnny Howard, Max Drum and Dennis Stern. Jeff Cox was replaced by Robert Carne (Bob from the first game) who is now also dead.
* Other than the Inspector and Maad, the only living members of 'The Rocket Men of Shen' are Dwight, Johnny, Max and Dennis who started an electronics company called 'Corcas', which is supposedly bigger than Apple and Microsoft.

There are so many other little things starting to jump out as well. This is REALLY getting interesting!

I don't think the blue zone age slowly thing is a real plot point, I think its just something a forumite posted up.

Ditto on the very interesting and THX bigtime for our Wiki. Also an update on Foilhead's blog with the code "atwemz oqzt"
