Why is there a scan in with his file? The picture in the lower right hand corner. That is an ultrasound it looks like. Of what I'm not sure, but there is also a letter G visible.

Not ultrasound, but looks more like a side view from an MRI or CAT scan... The top image is a cranial scan.

I noticed that after I zoomed in on the picture. Weird that it would be in his file though

I don't know. Security measure, perhaps?

Many companies do psyche evals on their employees, an MRI also wouldn't be too far a stretch of the imagination..

I'm tempted to think that he has some sort of memory implant and that was a scan to see if it was functional/make sure it's still working/etc.

This seems like the type of company that would test on its employees - maybe they take CAT scans or MRIs of them to keep track of the implants?

My next assumption is that if that were the case Cory wouldn't know since, given the ability to implant memories into the people with the implants, the company wouldn't bother telling him he's had the surgery, or they'd edit out that part of his memory.

I suppose I should go fashion myself a tinfoil hat now. Haha

Following that line of thought, then it could very well be his fiance' isn't who she says she is, either.

Total Recall, anyone?

EDIT: One hour since I sent the email to Dataserver3. No bounce back....yet. Heading out for the evening, if anything comes through, I'll inform all once I return.

I've emailed Dataserver3 with no bounce back -- it was after the Frankenstein quote being sent out. Just me making a smart-ass comment.

Now that I'm at home I think I'll give destegging these images a shot.

Well, this definitely looks pretty interesting. I'm going to sign up to be a test subject and see how things pan out. The cranial scan is pretty odd; unless Cory is undergoing some sort of treatment or research at Veil, I don't think he should have films like that in his employee file.

Someone NEEDS to find out a way to desteg the memo. I downloaded a program that would read hidden text but not reveal images. It pulled up a bunch of random characters from eve.bmp and a lot more for the memo.

The program I used to desteg the eve.bmp doesn't do .pngs. And So far these guys haven't repeated a puzzle yet. I'm not sure we need to worry about destegging these, but at the same time, it can't hurt to try.

My thought about the cranium scan would be that because of the nature of the company and their project that they've been working on as well as Cory went to the Presidio IT for neuroscience I believe. It more depends on whether or not the scan was voluntary.

Gah, OpenPuff works with PNGs, but absolutely requires at least one password. (It allows up to three, and has support for decoy passwords! Shocked) Haven't been able to get any of the other programs I downloaded to work. /sigh

Grumble grumble grumble.

Okay, so I messed around in Gimp with the pictures, trying to do the overlay thing that worked in the LAGP ARG, and here's what I got
ETA: That was done in Gimp, 16.01 w/ difference filter over 4.10 w/ addition filter
ETA2: It probably doesn't actually mean anything, but I posted it in case it did.

Got this from Bill:


Quote:
Is your contact at Veil someone named "Cory Wester?"




Are we going forward with telling him? I think we should.


EDIT:
I went ahead and confirmed it for him and asked how he figured it out.
