I don't know why it's not active yet, but the Week 4&5 project does have a tasklist. There's no link to it from the project overview page, though. But if you subscribe to the Agent Portal's Recent Activities RSS feed (as I do, I'm an RSS junkie) then you'll see that the tasklist has been added. The link to the tasklist is here, but I'll post it on here for those that can't find it:

Sorry for the double post. I got a lead on the rcom.lainsymatrix file by asking LAINSY about it:

I contacted Inno to ask if that codeworded email meant that we ALL could speak "freely" with Althea or just posse. His reply:

Ok, so far here's what I've been working on:

• Suggested to Althea to track down James Barron's online activity prior to his disappearance and check for any activity after his disappearance. Hope she'll ask LAINSY who will point out that rcom.lainsymatrix file for her. She's also on the hunt for who last saw James Barron the day he disappeared, and looking into that PDA thing James left behind.
• Daisuke Nakamura (head of AMSR dept) is checking in with the rest of his teams to see if there's any other suspicious activity going on.
• Queried LAINSY to see if James Barron had any other online activity since his disappearance. His last login was to modify the rcom.lainsymatrix file I think, and the login originated from the Colorado Facility (which is odd, since isn't the AMSR department operating in the Alberta Facility)?
• I asked Inno if we can contact our previous FAILTECH contacts, like Daniel Miller. I want to see if Daniel or Ryan Bruno would be willing to check out that rcom.lainsymatrix file, since they're part of the LAINSY Dev Team.

I thought I mentioned this earlier, but I emailed Daisuke asking for every little bit of info he had on Joseph Dillinger. He just told me to ask LAINSY. So I did. I sent the following email, including an amendment to my previous command. We'll see what she returns.

Inno says we should probably not contact our old contacts for now:

Sorry (again) for double post. I'm headed out for the night but here's something of interest! James Barron logged in twice since he disappeared -- on March 7 and March 25. LAINSY reported his activity:

[duke9509]

Ok, first, LAINSY confirms the text is Lorem Ipsum, so its purpose is not in its meaning. She also says that with my clearance of L4 (I guess Inno gave us all that clearance with LAINSY. Does anyone know if we have any valid ids from previous episodes that are higher than that?), she can only give me info from the last 30 days. She's taking a little while longer to process it.

I'm sure Daisuke has the proper clearance to get those other messages, but we can't ask him without raising suspicions. I'll ask Inno if there's a way we can pass secured messages through LAINSY. If not, we might try and come up with a way of our own (I'd suggest Google Wave again, but it's been decommissioned). Also, ask LAINSY where on the SFS he made his file operations, what clearance is needed to access it, and who else (besides he, himself) could access the PFS directory he was in. Oh, and see if the files he deleted are recoverable.

Lastly, regarding the obvious cipher, what types of encryption can use entire sentences as keys?

[duke9509]

Out of the remaining two, would either have use for the second sentence and proceeding number provided in the file?

[Lystella]

Neither use numbers, and there isn't enough characters from KEY and CRYP to fill a one time pad (77 for the sentences compared to the 330 of the message).

If this is Vigenere, a 3-letter key doesn't look likely. I'm about to head to bed, though, so I won't be able to check other lengths with frequency.

EDIT: One more thing--I completely forgot about the Vigenere with passphrase and key. I only took one into account while checking. While it's probably good to focus on the simpler one for now, the key w/passphrase is another possibility.

Alright, niters \(^_^)_

Sorry for being MIA these few days, school caught up with me :/

Anyways, ran a query on the files of Team Epsilon, and this came up:

Info on Joseph Dillinger:

I sent an email to Ryan Bruno (who's not a BOD, so he seems to be a contact that we're ok to talk to) and asked his opinion on the rcom.lainsymatrix file. His reply:
