 		I got Stellar Transit Authority, Rightpath Orphanage, Corinthos University Medical Center, and Kruger Industrial Surge Protection.

The meaningful part for all y'all, though, seems to be the time stamp:

1:22.53

The most intriguing piece of information, however, was a small notation on the top-left of the blueprint. The numbers are what seem to be coordinates, and our assumption is that this is the area that the Atlas Listening Station is actually listening for, but that is not confirmed.


Ok, I've searched and searched the form about Atlas...and the only thing that was concluded was that the coordinates on the blueprint was where Atlas was...right?

Check out the little tidbit I found in the wiki

 		I'm gonna post what we have so far in the EBU forums, see if I can get Adam to trust us.

Yeah, I'm almost sure this is by Immersive Fiction. Considering that Korinthan was involved in Veil, and they still have my address from that, too, it seems to be it

So, word (or maybe phrase) at that time in the audio, all put together?

Those numbers are very precise though. Will take a look shortly in case but think it might be something else.

It turns out that Audacity is just that precise so I have to agree that the times are pointing to words in the audio file.

 		Transcript from the audio file. If someone wants to toss it up on wikibruce ( I'm no good at that kind of stuff..

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Ladies and gentlemen of the counsel. I appreciate you meeting on such a short notice.
The time has come for us to take action.For too long, we have turned our backs on those who suffered...for those who have worked tirelessly to allow us the opportunity To have this meeting today.
The time has come to show the citizens of Earth That they are not forgotten? At this moment, It is us that can do what must need to be done. We've let go on for too long...but it's not too late. And it will be too late If we don't act now. Over 200 years ago, Our ancestors struggled to reach the next frontier. They fought against the selfish anti expansion movement. Many even giving their lives to the cause. And it wasn't to help themselves. No, it was to help us, the future generations. And now, three quarters into the twenty third century, and we, The representatives of the thirteen Worlds that they selflessly fought for Are Turning our backs on them.
The time has come for us to show the citizens of earth that the ruthless and totalitarian Rule of John sparrow And his regime Will not be tolerated. The time has come To show the brave resistance movements Like the Earthborne United that the rest of the Union supports them . The time has come to prove That we are, in fact, the union... That we can come together when one of our thirteen is threatened by Evil. The grip Of President Sparrow and Horizon industries is tightened. Their abusive power is not only Threatening Those on earth, But their control over resources that ensures Our survival , is Dangerous. FightIng the regime is not something I take lightly. I understand the concerns and I understand the risks. But deliberating for too long Will make all those issues worse. The time has come. The time has come to understand That the freedom of those on Earth, as well as our own, is in jeopardy. Thank you.

So if we're still looking for the PW to http://interplanetaryunion.net/ these numbers = words seem like a good place to start.


Seriously don't look here if you wanna figure it out yourself.

I found the password in the http://interplanetaryunion.net/ source code. Appears to take us to pages already found.

Pretty much have everything we need now...
Next question is a bit of a chicken or the egg problem - how would we have gotten to the audio file if we hadn't found a way to access the site by sidestepping the password? Thinking we should know tomorrow.

Aparrently there was an Arnold Cyper at http://www.koatoamarine.com/united/ that used the copy of Origins of Species in the packages. It decrypts to "to those born from the Earth: we will be there in due time." I think we were supposed to figure it out from the "Born from the Earth" part

 		I watched the video at weareearthborne.com and noted the fine-printed document at 0:21. After pausing the video and squinting really hard, I was able to decipher the following text. "XXXXX" indicates a word that I was unable to read, while (CLIPBOARD) is text that was obscured by the clipboard below it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The twelve crew members have been interviewed and debriefed separately, all apparent XXXXXX
will be further known as an "Interstellar Anomaly"

The crew described a rather rough drop out of slipspace, with one crew member explaining, "Going in
is usually the violent part." Seven of hte twelve mentioned an "uneasy" or "anxious feeling." While the other
five crew members answered in the affirmitive when asked, the seven who mentioned it on their own
believed it was due to the turbulent exit into normal space. In her interview, the pilot went as far
to say that she felt as if she was "being watched," but dismissed the notion before elaborating.

All twelve members in separate, private interviews XXXXXX what followed. At best, an attempt to
explain what they saw was in their own words, "futile," however for the purpose of this report it must be
noted.

The mining vessel, now in normal space, dtected a planetary object just five million kilometers away. As
they approached, the previously described feelings of anxiety increased. The crew described seeing
something very unusual:

"I've been on these missions countless times. I've seen hundreds of worlds that no one has ever seen before, and
this was unlike any of them. There was a glow to it. Not glowing, but XXX glow that was XXXXX
aroud the planet. I thought it was some sort of gaseous atmosphere (CLIPBOARD)
There was just ...there was some sort of energy. It flickered with (CLIPBOARD)
was going crazy. Our ship started shaking. There was a hum, like (CLIPBOARD)
machinery. Then things got really bright, there was this light. It (CLIPBOARD)
massive crack in the planet. We hit it fast, after that. Thank god (CLIPBOARD)
would have been able to get on back in slip on my own." -Pilot (CLIPBOARD)

THIS REPORT IS CONSDIERED HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL (CLIPBOARD)
OWNED BY HORIZON INDUSTRIES (CLIPBOARD)

TREASON IS PUNISHABLE (CLIPBOARD)


Perhaps this has something to do with what the Atlas listening post is watching?
