On a side note - we may want to take care who exactly we email. I was looking over the known email addresses, and the persons of interest, and although I feel like an ARG of this magnitude leaves nothing to chance, it may very well end up being that we contact someone outside of the game.

Provided, of course, that it is a game (cue eerie music in the background).

I also think we should keep a pastebin or something of the sort for all the information we discover. Possibly even an IRC chat so that whoever is participating has a place to brainstorm without spamming up the topic. If that sounds like something people would like, I could make that happen.

EDIT: So, couple things I've come across.

-RYWTER does not turn into anything comprehensible after cycling through all 25 Caesarian rotations. The closest intelligible decryptions are "bigdob" and "nuspan".
-Throwing in the 30 and 5 obviously does nothing, nor does it help if you convert it to E, O, and S. The same follow, being "eobigcdob" or "aknusopan". I think that's a dead end as far as the letters and numbers go.
-Emailed Theresa back, and I emailed infoSPLATveilnanoscience.com. Was thinking the info email would be an instant response, but so far it isn't.

I've skimmed through this thread and hopefully it is an ARG because they way they've started it seems very transmedia already, which is exciting. I'm a huge thumbs up for IRC/chat (whether its on a channel or through msn etc)

Alright, I just googled the name of every POI so far, and found zero things that could be considered IG, save for the websites we have already discovered. This means two things, first off, nobody contact any of the people that show up in the google results for those names, they are real people and very OOG, some have a twitter, a couple even have their own webpages, but they are decidedly OOG. Second, that means that as far as I can tell, what we've got so far is what we've got. E-mail those addresses and we'll see what we can find. I just hope that countdown clock doesn't mean that's when the ARG starts, that would suck.

Yea, definitely glad we covered that. I'd hate to see the response from one of those OOG people when they see an email regarding neuroimplants.

And let there be chat!

Re: [Trailhead] Veil Nanoscience Inc.

As far as the Presidio Institute goes, I think it's safe to assume it's also part of the IG world, considering it's registered through Go Daddy, as is Veil Nanoscience. I'm assuming the jumbled letters/numbers could be a password, but a username would still be required in order to login to their website. Any ideas?

I think you're on to something - every attempt I've made comes back with "PITPortal ID Not Found", and with that basic of a code, I imagine you're spot on with your assumption. Not that I know HTML any better than you, but it would seem like the informed, educational guess to make.

Beyond email correspondences and applying for the Project, I don't think there's much else to figure out. Chat is up for anyone that is interested. I'll list the information again:
