So, there's a new image now.

It's got a bunch of stuff on it. I'm trying to type it up so I can translate it, but it's hard to read. So far I've got something like

The one on the bottom right says

Seems likely, but it is too early to tell.

Can this be opened? Remember: to check again later.

And the one in the top right says something like

Maybe if I change his hair I will see a resemblance?
Maybe if I empty his face and place the symbols I remember?

 		Here's what I came up with for the text:

Edit: The small text under the word capital in the poster says "to extend the importance of:"

Also, imgur mirror of the image.

I've been working on this as well, though I locked myself out of login and had to wait to post, lol. The only one of those I didn't get the same thing on is the last one. That code doesn't seem to want to come out right no matter what I do, though through manipulation I've been able to get everything you got except "Maybe if I empty".

If anyone else wants to try it, here's what I transcribed:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TWF5YmUgaWYgSSBjaGFuZ2UgaGlzIGhhaXIgSSB3aWxsIHNlZSBhIHJlc2VtYmxhbmNlPw0eSBoaXMgZmFjZSBhbmQgcGxhY2UgdGhY2UgdGhlIHN5bWJvbHMgSSByZW1lbWJlcj8=

though that's got to be wrong somewhere.

Also, what do you guys make of the 14_14_14 part?

Edit: Also, virodoran, I also got the same mistakes you did in your third and fourth at first. They're probably just mutual mistakes, but it's somewhat possible they're intentional. Something to keep in mind if we get stuck.

 		The last one was weird, I had to split the base64 code somewhere in the middle and decode it in two parts for some reason. It was like there were bytes missing or something.

And yeah, I spent a lot of time looking for letters I might have typed wrong in the 3rd and 4th one, but nothing seemed to make it right. I tried typing what I thought it was supposed to be and then encoding it as Base64 and it was significantly different than what was on the image as well. So yeah, it might be important, might not.

14 was a number in the eye on the main site. I'm not sure of the significance of it.

 		Another message (in base64) written on same picture:

I get:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
T2ggZGVhciwgSSBsb3N0IHNvbWUgb2YgbXkgZHJhd2luZ3MuLi4gIFdoZXJlIGRpZCB0aGV5IGdvPw==
which converts to : "Oh dear, I lost some of my drawings... Where did they go?"


So then I did some more snooping and found a .png picture on the page which has

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://m3ps.blogspot.com/p/document1.html, which has more drawings and 4 more base64 messages.


That's all I got time for now. Smile

 		The new picture:



After playing round with the Base64 (and it was a lot of try and error because this code has definetely errors in it) here is my solution:

Code:

This must be the waiting room. I have been directed to wait here for more information. But where is it screen changes, but I do not recognize the symbols.

My directive is to wait for Program: MAv3rick to become operational. When he appears I will know


Code:

The waiting room should contain means for outside communication. I have yet to find it. I miss them, I do not like being so alone. I wonder if they are still searching for me.


Code:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I would like more paper. If you are there MAv3rick, please comply. Boredom, to my observation, is not an enjoyable enon. Could my paper be blue? I like the color blue.



The Base64 is my corrected version. Some letters in the picture are ambiguous, but there are even mistakes in the code.
In the last text there is the word 'enon'. I have no idea whether it is intentionally or another mistake, but the corresponding part of the code cannot be read in different ways, imho.


The picture itself has Bas64 in it, hidden with mobilefish:

Code:
TUF2M3JpY2sgaXMgaGlkaW5nIHJpZ2h0IGluIGZyb250IG9mIHlvdS4g
IE5vdCBldmVuIHlvdSBjYW4gc2VlIGl0LiAgRG9lcyB0aGF0IHNjcmVlbiBsb29r
IHN0cmFuZ2UgdG8geW91IHRvbz8=


This transcribes to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
MAv3rick is hiding right in front of you. Not even you can see it. Does that screen look strange to you too?

 		The new riddle (Document_2):



It contains mobilefish'd Base64

 		Solved the sudoku (looks like I was beat to it, though)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
tau dne sch
scd uah tne
hen sct dau

nsc aud eht
euh cts nda
dta hen usc

uns tha ced
che ndu ats
adt esc hun


The highlighted parts seem to be pretty much gibberish, so it's very likely another anagram.

The highlighted letters (read left to right) read out:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the heduadshn use death



Edit: Huh, my solution is different than SteamPunk's. I'll have to look at it more later, though.

Different, yes, though your solution would appear to make more sense! Embarassed

 		Ooh, if you take each group as scrambled letters within the group, you get:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the hued hands sue death
or
the hued hands use death


Time to start trying passwords on the 7z file.

Edit: Yep, it's

There are 3 files inside. 2 images (first and second) and a text file which says

The following are images recorded from MAv3rick cache data on the reccord of M3Ps. The following are hallucinagenic images which were recorded onto paper and then transcribed. Images have been logged.
