 		Okay so the e-mails from Cecil have so far spelled out going down from the top.
Main path and then last nights Keep that in mind. This could be a clue for us and if that is the case I have a feeling it'll lead us in the right direction later.

Okay using the theory that it was a vigenere cipher I ran our text string from e-mail one using main path as the passphrase: iwevctxyyivraauvdabbgixzookp

It gave me the following www.interminelaboratories.co.cc

Running the long string of text from cecil's e-mail: Csqtmpmxagtqajcleeilnmpnfpnyo rikxyhtxcqvrglijdklKxmc fpnwsrqxgk.

using keep that in mind as the pass phrase I was given:
Sometimes things happen that have never happened before Keep that in mind.

 		Hahah! Viginere ciphers, oh how I hate them. But at least we now know they are using caesarian and viginere.

 		Alright guys lets see if anything else in the e-mails/audio file/ or pamphlet looks out of place like letters unnecessarily capitalized etc.
That might be our in to the cyro area of the site soon.

All of the e-mails that we've received have been from [user]@interminelaboratories.co.cc. That particular address suffers from a redirect loop, so either that's not the website we're looking for, or there is no content currently available to us.

Anyway, very good work DZombar - though I had some trouble following your solution. Embarassed I hope you don't mind, but I edited the quoted post a bit to help stupid ol' me follow it a little easier.

@Tilla Welcome to the game! Please take a few minutes to skim through the last few pages of posts before posting content that could already have been revealed. It saves time in the long run to get caught up. Wink You are right, though, we do have quite a bit of decoding to do. Luckily, a lot of it has been run through some ciphers already, and you'll find that we've decoded much of what's available.

Edit: I noticed a few things about the funeral pamphlet.
    It says that no obituary exists.
    All of Michael Graham's family members have apparently passed on as well, leaving Cecil Masters in charge of Intermine Labs.
    Cecil requested that the funeral be closed casket/cancelled the viewing - why?

 		Ogawa, honestly you worded it better than my poor sleep deprived brain could have done this morning. ( I figured it out running on a grand total of 3 hours of sleep).

I'm going to see if the articles we have been given have any more weird capitalization or such.
Maybe we should try an e-mail Cecil or the crematory and see if anything left behind by Micheal might help us out?

 		Just got a new email from crematorySPLATinterminelaboratories.co.cc Subject: Wrongly Sent Email

Quote:
Dear Patron

We have heard from some people of an errant email that was sent to people wrongly. We at this time do not know how, but this email was not done by us. Mr. Graham's death has saddened us all, and we have been experiencing some bandwidth issues. These issues have been solved, and there is to be no funeral for Mr. Graham that was specified in the email and we are very sorry to the people who may have been confused by this email or the attached file that was given with it.

 		I was actually considering sending an email to Cecil something along the lines of saying I would try to attend the funeral or asking more questions about it when I got that email saying there was no funeral. So I haven't sent anything yet.

 		Hey guys, checking into this game! New to ARGs, happy to be here in this fine forum. Just got this new email from Intermine Funeral Services titled 'Email glitches.'

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Dear Patrons

We are very sorry to say due to the bandwith issues we have been encountering this email was not accepting emails properly roughly between the time of 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Stopping us from getting any incoming emails. This issue has now been resolved and if you tried to get into contact with us then we sincerly urge you to resend your email.

Thank you.


Now if that's not an invitation to send questions I don't know what is.

 		We've received correspondence from John Smith:

Hello. It's me, John Smith. I'm okay for the most part, but I'm still scared to death that someone will find out my true agenda. I need you to continue your work on the outside before I give you any more clues. Despite the fact that I haven't been caught yet, I still need you to hack into the Cryogenics page of Intermine Laboratories. I've put some things that might be useful to you on that page, you only need to figure out the password. Just read between the lines, and you'll figure it out. The Key is right in front of you.

I haven't gotten very far with the Key he's provided. Going to go over some of the other stuff we've decoded and see if anything matches up.

Edit: I also received a response from the crematory. I asked for confirmation as to whether or not there would be a service for Mr. Graham:

Thank you.

 		www.interminelaboratories.co.cc is working now. I tried the phone numbers under 'contact,' had a laugh but got nothing to go on (well, I think. Dialing the first number resulted in an automated message advertising another number to talk to certain ladies of the night.) Also sent an email inquiring about their Cryogenics program.

---

Edited to add, just got the reply:

From Michael Graham mgrahamSPLATinterminelaboratories.co.cc
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is a beginning and an End to everything.
Life, Death, even Purgatory
Remember the BEGINNING to remember the end,
See the truth which basks in the night.
Remember...oh Remember...
O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't!
Oh, for our Origins are so indispensable,
and yet we require them to move forward.

<ERROR 404: No Such Email Address Exists. Shutting down mainframe.


Don't know where the first half and the last two lines are from, but 'O wonder' bit is from Shakespeare's the Tempest.
