 		I have sent an e-mail as well inquiring the decision to not hold a funeral and as to where I might send condolences so we'll see what occurs.

Read between the lines makes me think that there is something in the e-mails or the audio from John that could allow us to crack that key faster. I'm working on it but it gives me very little.

 		Alright so here's my e-mail back from intermine and Cecil e-mailed me back as well explaining the programs better so here we go for you guys to see if we can squeeze something out to help us.

Quote:
Thank you for offering your condolences. Mr. Masters has humbly requested that there be no service for Mr. Graham. The specifics of why are, at this time, unknown. We thank you for inquiring, but no more information can be requested. As far as condolences, you may care to email Cecil Masters at CMastersSPLATIntermineLaboratories.co.cc and request to be put forth into the 10 year cryogenics program. I'm sure he will be grateful for your cooperation.

Thank you,
Intermine Funeral Services

Hi there, Mr. Zombar, my name is Cecil Masters. Nice to make your acquaintance.

You are receiving this email as a result of your inquiry regarding our Cryogenics Program and/or our Interdimensional Travel Program. Thank you for your interest! I'll go ahead and explain the two concepts in a way that the common man can understand, and you can consider both, and see which (or both) are right for you!

Our Cryogenics Program seeks to "Eliminate all Disease and Human Weakness through Self-Sacrifice". It is a 10 year program which freezes your body in a non-lethal dry ice. In this state, you will be experimented on, your blood-glucose levels read daily, and we may or may not be injecting you with harmful chemicals. It really depends on the person's immune levels and how they react to certain chemicals. At the end of the 10 year term, you will be given the option to stay under the Cryogen Stasis, or to join the ranks of Intermine Laboratories as a full time employee. Seeing as how the world outside is currently inhospitable, you will not be allowed to leave the facility once you enter.

The Interdimensional Travel program is a lot less time consuming, and a very rewarding program indeed, however, we are currently not offering this program to outsiders. The program consists of travelling through the four varying worlds in the Universe Andromeda that are connected with Earth, the Southern Canyon: "Aequaliter"; the Northern Tundra: "Praestrictus"; the Western Ocean: "Oceanus", and the Eastern City "San Angeles". As mentioned above however, this program is currently not being offered. We're extremely sorry.

If you have any more questions, I urge you to ask! Thank you!

CEO of Intermine Laboratories,
Cecil Masters


However now we know how two programs work and I'm being encouraged to give myself over to the cryogenics program as a condolence offer. Think maybe we should throw IG me into that situation or wait until we've hacked the system?

 		I emailed the site asking last night - today I got this from John Smith ( jsmithSPLATinterminelaboratories.co.cc)

Hello, it's John Smith. It seems you're not figuring this out as fast as originally expected. I think they're onto me. You need to carefully observe my emails. The key is right in front of you. There's something strange going on here, something...inhuman...

I received an email with the phrase "Our Origins are so indispensable, yet we need them to move forward". Take that into account. As soon as you make it into the Cryogenics Page, I'll know it. Good luck.


All that I can see that would be a key is the email to MGraham and we need to login to that account with the password given in the previous email. But I'm not sure how to access where the email for intermine is hosted. The URL structure of the site is weird because its hosted/ created by wix so I dont see a normal directory. Closest thing ishttp://www.wix.com/HauntDeliverance/Labs

 		New e-mail from John Smith. He doesn't sound happy. Rolling Eyes

Edit: Sorry - double post of the info.

Is there any way to do a caesarian shift with just numbers? I think that 345257456 could be something important. I'll work more with it.

And how come you guys are getting all this info, and I just get a "f*ck off it's none of your bidness?" Confused

 		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>

I just got this Email with subject "listen to our Origins" an the sender is mgrahamSPLATinterminelaboratories.co.cc

have not gotten anything else out of it

Played in reverse, the audio file says, "The password is 'origins.'"

Username/password combinations, mgraham/Origins, mgrahams/origins, cmasters/Origins, cmasters/origins are not working.

I'm getting a bit irritated with them thinking giving us the same clues (origins, Key, "right in front of you," etc.) is helping us solve it any faster. >_<

 		Idk if anyone has noticed, but at 1:46 in the first video there is something said in the background or some sort of noise, seems to be inserted into the video. I don't know how to isolate it so thought I would let people know who could.

If its nothing, . . . my bad

The only cipher I can think of that uses numbers, as well as the only one I'm familiar with, is the Gronsfeld cipher. Unless they sent the message through the caesarian multiple times


EDIT-- I also got a new email from the Funeral Service.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
To whom it may concern,

We have received reports of depression and/or irritation at the news of Michael Graham's death, and we have also been made aware of our own facilities sending out less than satisfactory responses to people wishing us the best. We are deeply sorry for this. Any response that did not seem humble was an obvious mistake on our part. To show our apologies, here is an image that we found on Michael Graham's desk. It doesn't seem to look like any more than an abstract piece of artwork, but it is not valuable in the slightest to ourselves or anyone in the Intermine Family. Thank you.

Intermine Funeral Services


It also came with two images, one of blurry polariod pictures with water stains and the words "O Brave new world"

The second is of a newspaper article talking about Graham's Death. I'm not sure how to share the images though :/

A new e-mail has arrived:

Dear [Ms]. Ogawa
>>Uknown user input detected
It has come to my attention recently that you got a rather rude and unsatisfactory response from one of our companies. I would like to take this chance to apologize personally to you for any rudeness on the part of my employees.
>>It's me John Smith. You're missing the point of the clue's i'm trying to send. I wish I could send#@$
Since the recent death of my predecessor Micheal Graham many employee's have shown negative signs of depression and rudeness. While I hope you can understand the stress that has been put on the employee's of the loss of such a great man it is no excuse for the behavior, and customer support you recieved.
>>them directly, but I have to encrypt them or the system would detect me and find me. The clue's#@$
I hope you can forgive the deplorable behavior of my employee's.
>>are pointing at the middle sentence cypher in a middle of an email you received recently. The "keys" are right below you just look down, and remember "Move each "key" to the right." I have to go.
CEO of Intermine Laboratories,
Cecil Masters
CMastersSPLATIntermineLaboratories.co.cc


So I'm guessing "Rgw duear ua vuf" is what we need to decode, though "origins" as a keyword does not do anything with a Vigenere cipher. "Move each 'key' 'to the right?'" Confused

 		Hm. Moving each key to the right turns 'Rgw duear ua vuf' into:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The first is big


Haha, should've followed my instincts on this one. This also works turning 'ieufuba' into origins.

On your keyboard, the kew to the right of 'R' is 'T', next to 'G' is 'H', and so on. Kudos for figuring that on out, fick.
