This is getting interesting...
In other news, Cory replied back about my brainscan question. He said that every employee got a mandatory MRI. So I don't think that will lead anywhere.

Thanks for following up on that. That's one potential lead down, several more to go!

Has anyone considered that these numbers might correspond to dates?

I thought about that, but discarded the idea when I noticed that the dates in the images and the potential dates in the numbers didn't match. It's entirely possible that they correspond to other dates of importance, though.

 		New image just now

the numbers at the bottom say:

06401892469 and 3V on the right


The text on the wall in the back looks like it says:

TEST ROOM 252

I could be wrong on the 252 part though[/b]

 		New image!
Binary.
That means that 4.01 is actually 4.2
Typing on my phone, give me a minute to post it

ETA:My assumption was right, the files are 16.1, 4.2, 12.3. The new is 27.533
ETA2: Whoops, accidentally converted to octal, it's actually 27.347

 		Just received it myself. On my phone as well. I'll take a deeper look at it when I get home.

 		Went back to the Frankenstein quotes. Each is part of a letter-narrative in chapter 24. I used both Boutell and Literature.org.

First quote we received is from an entry dated September 12th:
Quote:
When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.


The second quote is from an entry dated August 26th:
Quote:
I believed myself destined for some great enterprise. My feelings are profound; but I possessed a coolness of judgment that fitted me for illustrious achievements. This sentiment of the worth of my nature supported me when others would have been oppressed; for I deemed it criminal to throw away in useless grief those talents that might be useful to my fellow-creatures. When I reflected on the work I had completed, no less a one than the creation of a sensitive and rational animal, could not rank myself with the herd of common projectors. But this thought, which supported me in the commencement of my career, now serves only to plunge me lower in the dust. All my speculations and hopes are as nothing; and, like the archangel who aspired to omnipotence, I am chained in an eternal hell.


So I'm thinking 09.12 and 08.26 (or even 12.09 and 26.08 ) might be a few numbers to add to the list we have.

Or, if we went with the Boutell site it could be 24.3 and 24.2... but I'm leaning more towards the dates than the chapter/part combo.

EDIT: Ohoh! The date on that ancient email is 15 Feb 2001. Another number? 15.02.01 ? 15.02.2001?

 		Blah. I thought I was onto something when I realized we'd received a number every time we'd received a quote, and I thought that the arnold cipher would apply to just the quotes themselves, but the second quote and second number disproved that - unless I missed a set of numbers - when the word did not have 10 letters (4.10 - 4th word, 10th letter).

This is starting to annoy me.

 		Nother quote.

 		Alright, so this is where I need some help. I've been trying to pry information out of dear old Alice now for awhile, and I just got this.

Alice wrote:
I know Dr. Veil very well. He's not the type to have paid liars or oblivious fools working for him. But, needless to say, all of this is rather strange.

I'll tell you what. Knowing my husband, he wouldn't dare speak about Alec or his company. And, out of respect, I will do my best not to either.

However, if you had any questions about CBALtech, I would be happy to answer them. I can't think of anything that could help you in your search for answers, but perhaps something could push you in the right direction.


So what should/could I ask her about CBALtech that, in essence, asks something about Veil, too? Without asking about Veil, obviously.

 		What type of projects did they work on (and names if you can get them) before 1997 (the year that Veil left).

 		Also, just to remind people:

Well that didn't take long at all. Research department, but he...he was laid off in '03. I know the company had a few down years, had to lean it up a bit and cut some fat.

The company didn't start working on any of these new memory-based projects until 2007 or so. I mean, even the brochure, the gap in time in projects. It makes sense that they had a few layoffs back in 2003.

What are your thoughts on these numbers? Bill's blog looks like he's trying to organize everything. If any of your people need help catching up, that looks like the place to go.

Anyway, the numbers.

There's no way to know for sure what this thing is trying to tell us. They've been coming almost every day. There's clearly different sources. It's probably too early to tell whether the sources connect or not.

You're probably right. We know that something big is going on here, it's possible this thing is trying to tell us multiple things at once. Especially after the email from 2001. That's ten years, this story has to be bigger than it seems.

I don't know.

I'm trying to lay low this week, so I'm sorry if I'm not around as much. I don't want any more suspicion on me as there already is.

Everyone seems a little on edge here. I'm doing okay though.

Just hang on for a little longer. Next week, I'm going to tell you everything I know.

Stay safe.

 		All the numbers were giving me a headache because we have such a surplus of them so I took another look at CBALtech

Quote:
"In the late 70's and 80's, the company provided data to the leading developers of integrated circuits and microprocessors such as Intel and Texas Instruments.
The late 1980's and early 1990's saw a shift as the company focused more on how computers and technology in general could be used in the medical community. CBALtech developed both hardware and software that was used in hospitals and local clinics that made it easier for doctors and patients to communicate and keep medical histories complete and safe."


Maybe something about the technology they were using at the time Veil left could lead us to something, b/c they haven't always been doing Malaria research...
I'm still half awake. I'll check back after work.

edit: maybe two different things going on with the numbers: maybe they're telling us one thing with the quotes and the other with the pictures. Was there a date given to the 3rd Frankenstein quote?

 		Speculation: We've been given quotes from both Frankenstein and the Bible. What do these two things have in common? That's right: dead people returning to life.

 		Zombies!!! Very Happy

I'll check the latest Frankenstein quote once I'm on a proper computer for a date.

Cory said different sources. Time to divide and conquer?

Dr Darling was highlighted in that ancient email - maybe ask Alice about him/her?

Wonder where all of those researchers went after the massive layoff...

 		I'm tempted to prod DS3 as we haven't received anything yet today, but we already have so much and getting nowhere. Sad

As for the last Frankenstein quote: no date associated, but it is the 21st paragraph of Chapter 23. So, 23:21 ?

The different sources bit makes me wonder if we need to separate the numbers from the quotation emails from the image emails.
