 		[Trailhead] Apocriptein
Some... interesting youtube videos
So! After quite a hiatus from ARGs, I've finally received another trailhead. Got an email from a.condition.nullSPLATgmail.com , subject: Many fragile things. The body was just "After all," with "all" linking here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Apocriptein

Only watched the first video, but it was a short clip of just some weird, burned-looking tree. The others also seem to be of trees. Haven't done any research into the name or the video's name.

(Just an OOG side note, the first thing I said when I saw the email was YES. I haven't gotten a trailhead in probably a year. Thanks, PM)

EDIT: Alright, Apocriptein is Greek (?) for "to hide something away," and Xyloiulus is an extinct genus of millipede...

 		Video descriptions:

1
It was always here and, Always like this;
You know, Just small things that seem out of place.

2
I don't remember this clearing here,
At least not with that house there.

Small note: My camera was taking photos whilst I was filming this, I can't explain why, That isn't a feature of my camera; I decided to keep the images in.

3

4

5
Not everyone will notice.

 		I'm thinking audio and video are probably going to have to need a closer look. As in, dissecting. Video 2 has some obvious flashing going on -- might need to stop and look at frames to see what it is.

 		Hm, the videomaterial looks harmless, I think the hidden content is in the audio. Anyone here these clicking noises in the vids? I think thats the clue, but I don't know yet, how to solve this! Maybe spectography is a helping hand? Or something like morsecode? Not sure yet!

 		The videos are innocuous enough that there just HAS to be something hidden in them. Also, I sent a reply to the email: "Hello there. What are you hiding away?"

They responded with:
Quote:
Whether one is hiding or, Revealing can be quite subjective when you aren't sure what you are looking for, Yet.


Not sure what to make of that. Random capitalization (Revealing and Yet)

I watched them a few times, there is nothing, just trees!

Capitalization is "WRY"...whatever you'll make of it! Very Happy

Unless the PM is like my husband and capitalizes random things.

 		Sent another email: You're right about that, I have no idea what I'm looking for. Although, I have a feeling it has to do with a certain insect... a millipede, perhaps?

They responded with: Perhaps not literally but, Many things share characteristics with each other.

So... what things share characteristics with millipedes? I'm gonna have to research a bit.

 		Horrible thought:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What if this is ARG is to promote a new Human Centipede movie??

And here I was giving the South Park creators credit for that idea, and here I am seeing they lifted it from a movie. Gross.

 		Just a thought looking at the letters you have, somehow I want to make 'I am transmitting' fit.

I can see that, too.

Also, I sent yet another email in response to the previous: That they do. I'm not too well versed in the similarities between millipedes and... anything really (except centipedes). Except, the fact that no millipedes actually have 1000 legs. So, it's a misnomer, really. Is your "name" a misnomer, as well?

And I received: Whilst millipedes do not actually have 1,000 legs, They still have very many and, Likewise, There are many things that I may hide, But that doesn't mean that there aren't things I'm willing to share under the correct circumstances; Not all names may hold absolute truth but, They're given and, Enforced for a reason.

I'm willing to bet that the PM's trying to point us in the direction of the videos still, but I don't have the software necessary to analyze them at any depth.
