Good night, sam!

Looking through the background text:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://i.imgur.com/3eK0zqG.png The hidden text reads "DONOTTRUSTTHEHRI"



Good luck, Julieaurora and Zac!
EDIT/EDIT 2: Spelling error, and Julie added what the binary was.


Well spotted. I was looking at that page for ages and couldn't see it!

I've tried variations on 'DONOTTRUSTTHEHRI' to no avail, until I came across this...

and the next timer! Very Happy

(although why it wasn't DNTTHRI i don't know, given HRI is an acronym itself...)

Interesting to see the blog developing too! I wonder what will happen in the future... Smile

Salutations, faithlessfate, and awesome job samsmith!

It's got twelve hours in the countdown, and it says it's "restricting all inbound and outbound internet traffic", so I think this may be our last chance to contact Zach and future Aimee for a while. Welp, in the meantime, I'm going to go make some coffee. Anyone want some? Razz

Reply from Aimee with email addresses for Zach and Chloe:

Quote:
I'm happy to give you contact details for Zach and Chloe, but I must warn you that if it is anything to do with what we've been discussing, that they may not be as open-minded as I am (although I know I was very sceptical at first!). Chloe is a good friend of mine, and she suffers a nervous disposition, so I would advise you to be cautious with how you approach her. Zach on the other hand, is a cynic...like me, he would want proof that you're genuine. (I don't know him that well, so I don't think my word alone would suffice).

Anyway, here they are:

spencerzachary1982SPLATgmail.com
chloespencer1988SPLATgmail.com


I'm slightly nervous about contacting them now, but I'll give it a shot. Anyone got any suggestions for what I could say?

Quick email future Zach and hope for a reply we can use to convince their 2014 self before the communications are cut off?

Is there any way to decode the text in that last link, or is it a ton of gibberish?

Not that I've found so far. The commented text in the source looks like base64, whereas the text on the page itself is a repeated 32 character / 16 byte hex string. Neither decodes "simply" from what I have tried.

I wonder whether "WE'RE WATCHING YOU" is a key?

This popped up as junk but thankfully i spotted it before deleting Shocked

Hi Russell,

We are pleased to know that the offer is still open.

Your input could prove valuable to what we're trying to do here, and your co-operation thus far has led us to believe you as a trust-worthy employee.

The differences in your timeline to ours sets us out on a difficult path to this mission, so if you know of any other individuals within your time that we could whole-heartedly trust, have them contact us on this email within the next 7 days.

This offer will expire on June 16th.

We'll be in touch soon with more details.

Recruitment


I have deliberately not reached out to the other characters since i contacted FEA about the job offer so if any of you fancy pursuing this side then email recruitmentSPLATfeaglobal.co.uk. Just make sure your duplicity isn't outside of this forum!

I think I'll do the recruitment thing. It looks neat.

From 2014 Aimee:

Quote:
Hi Julie,


It sounds to me like what we're discovering here is much bigger than FEA. After all, there's always somebody pulling the strings, right?


I think we need to do our best to stop all of it. Whatever it is, or whatever it becomes, I feel like we need to be the ones to prevent it.


Maybe it's that I'm trying to avoid the guilt, I don't know, but I just know that it feels right for me to pursue this. I can't just sit back and do nothing.


We've been given an insight into the future here, and I don't think we should be taking this responsibility lightly.


Providing you and your associates are still happy to help, then you must do what you can to find out any information, no matter how seemingly insignificant.


I'll do the same. Given what FEA specialise in, I'm sure I'll hear something on the grapevine at work soon enough. Do you happen to know when they are established? Or when all of this begins?


Also, you said your communications have been discovered with myself in the future...is it safe for us to be talking?


Aimee


P.S. I think I've made some progress with Julie. Fingers crossed!

I'm going to try, since I've had no contact with any of the other people.

Looks like a WEP key or similar encryption key. Maybe it's the password to something?[/spoiler]
