Thunderwolf, eat some fish today to keep your excellent brain fine tuned b/c the first newsletter shd be in our mailbox. Your solve was masterful, a level higher. Worshippy

EDIT: http://www.lunarlabs.org/sos/ with another knock knock and its GIF is titled "Evidence-6Y345G", mentioned in the 2nd Mission doc posted on page 4 here
EDIT2: The GIF appears to have a PW encrypted zip file inside it

The sos URL is either from a Vulcan mind meld with the LUNAR team who are all behaving like amenable pod-people now or (truly) from the "contact us" source code.

Looks like the newsletter holds the key as certain letters are a different font, am going through it now.

A new newsletter or the same one from before with the caps hidden in the letter strings? (I just signed up last night to get the newsletter and have not received anything.)

EDIT:
Went back and saw cherry's point that that wasn't from the newsletter addy. Sooo ignore that part Smile

So is the picture a blood moon or Jupiter (or something else), with the word from the newsletter it led me to the following which is interesting but likely nothing of use =)

Lisis_M: Russell_k's "spoilered" post contains the PW to an encrypted zipfile inside the Evidence-6Y345G.gif (your redmoon pic). I just posted that file. HTH & G'Nite all

Ok its a nice simple solve

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Assign a letter to each prime in order and restart at the 27th number

The first couple of lines are

"Total control surveillance

people no differences real fiction hostile"


Although i may have a few typos as limited access to a Pc =)

Will leave someone else to complete it.

paper and pen ftl

Just wanted to chime in that with Russell's translated section I'm slowly starting to substitute the cipher. At substitution get's easier as you crack more of the code.

Made a little program to translate it. There are some errors on the first pass that will be fixed, but here is what we've got:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
>?subject1 total cpntrom surweilmance
>?sta people no difference real fictioo hostile
>?request1 xarn n m
>?rqa help d lm
>?rqb dewelop encszpted communication systd81m wia m
>?note hostile ageot present
>?note detected our communication
>?note carefum who trubnt
>?note limited time to communicate
>?acc project awakening


My take while bugs get fixed:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"total control
surveillance people
no difference real fiction
hostile
warn n m (maybe nick or maria is "n" or "m"?)
help d lm (no clue here)
develop encrypted communication system via m (maria?)
hostile agent present
detected our communication
careful who trubnt (trust?)
limited time to communicate
project awakening"
