 		Wish it worked on mobile Razz

Posted my coverage of the package just now too
http://wikibruce.com/2012/10/secret-agents-and-bird-calls-a-skyfall-adventure/

Not much new, except a little more detail about the source code content.

Curious about the unicode 9608 - I think it's just the black solid block, which gives the appearance of censored text...

The opengraph metadata description reads:
Quote:
For ██ ██ eyes only. If you are not ██ ██ please delete immediately. This ████ provides access to the ██ ██ selection exam which identifies recruits for ████ and ██ ██ in the field. Do not share this link.

But the title is more interesting:
Quote:
██ ████ █ ███ █ ██

That is, a sequence of 2 4 1 3 1 2. Significant?

 		Don't fully remember the other steps for all the tests, but I do remember getting irked in mission five:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
For the first keycode, the password is going around in a box -- but instead of typing out 4-1-2 or 412, you need to spell out four one two in characters, or it won't accept your answer.

 		Another notice... intro text when beginning the adventure includes a "key fingerprint:
Code:
20 53 6f 6d 65 74 69 6d 65 73 20 77 65 20 70 61 79 20 73 6f 20 6d 75 63 68 20 61 74 74 65 6e 74 69 6f 6e 20 74 6f 20 6f 75 72 2065 6e 65 6d 69 65 73 2c 20 77 65 20 66 6f 72 67 65 74 20 74 6f 20 77 61 74 63 68 20 6f 75 72 20 66 72 69 65 6e 64 73 20 61 73 20 77 65 6c 6c 2e

Which translates to

Bar code widths? 2 4 1 1 1 2 is "n" 2 4 1 2 1 1 is "k" but I don't see that one.

Hrm. Try and encode it into a barcode, then use a scanner app to see what comes up.

 		Mission 5 steps
I don't think this was the best solution but it allowed me to get the trailer at the end and complete all missions:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

yes
ok
four-one-two
throw fire extinguisher through blue door
upload code
hide behind server racks
what do you see
(general chit chat)
…
go to fire escape
hello
anyone there
hello again
battle_of_trafalgar

Takes you to the trailer that has already been posted for some time - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kw1UVovByw

 		Were the images not loading for anyone else on mission 2? If someone could possibly post them, that would be great help!

 		The source code contains some javascript that can be used to bypass the test:
Code:
// CATEGORY ONE: Approved Agents only. Bypasses audio unlock.

I don't know what it takes to become an "approved agent", but my guess is that it's anyone on a PC that can't make the audio work. Bypass the audio as follows:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using Internet Explorer:
  1. put this in the address bar and press enter: http://50.112.251.215/
  2. wait for the page to load
  3. put this in the address bar and press enter: javascript:initiativeTest()
  4. click the "please proceed" button that appeared
These steps may or may not work in other browsers.

Woo! Thank you, I couldn't do this one because my computer hates birds or something.

 		Could we please put 007 Skyfall or similar in the sub-title (or title) so people know for sure what this is. Thanx.

 		I'm currently on the second mission. I'm really enjoying this thus far, especially since I've been waiting for a James Bond flick to integrate some sort of interactive campaign into their film for the longest. Very Happy

In regard to the audio not playing you may want to check your mic at your control panel settings, also close out all other tabs and get to a quiet place so that no noise will distort the reading. Also, make sure you click "yes" to allow it to go through.

Best of Luck,

Van Orton
