So hey, if you put each one on a new line, you get a bit of a pattern:

Quote:
1
2 21
3 22 14
4 23 15 4
5 24 16 5 18
6 25 17 6 19 25
7 26 18 7 20 26 7


Not sure what to do with it, but I'm assuming it's not a substitution code


So if you look down the columns you get sequential counting up:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7
21,22,23,24,25,26
14,15,16,17,18
4,5,6,7
18,19,20
25,26

Still not idea if its a code or a distraction

 		I'm having a hard time finding anything in the audio. But it does look like there is something in the one MrToasty put up.

And even if that's just the distraction and the numbers are important I am clueless on those as well LOL

May have to poke at this one more later and let the brain clear out some.

Perhaps each is a source and offset?
1, +6
21, +5
14, +4
4, +3
18, +2
25, +1
7, +0

order?
7 25 18 4 14 21 1 7
G Y R D N U A

AUNDRY certainly seems feasible, but GAUNDRY?

 		List has been updated ro flect new info: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1009737#1009737.

Looks like you're up this Saturday, MrBeefy Smile

Interesting note about the code, now that I'm no longer brainfarting on the whole thing; all the lines we're different shifts, eventually spelling out Atlanta.

Code:
1 > ROT-0 > A
2 21 > ROT-25 > AT
3 22 14 > ROT-24 > ATL
4 23 15 4 > ROT-23 > ATLA
5 24 16 5 18 > ROT-22 > ATLAN
6 25 17 6 19 25 > ROT-21 > ATLANT
7 26 18 7 20 26 7 > ROT-20 > ATLANTA

 		Very nicely done! Hopefully that means there is nothing more to the audio then.
