i also got an email from present aimee and wrote back to her seconding the idea that she stay at astrazeneca or at least not join fea. Waiting to hear back from her now. (waiting on aimee in the present and future... it's sort of funny to me)

i keep wondering what some acronyms stand for like: fea and hri (something to do with ark). It seems silly, but i wonder if there's more we might be able to find or search for if we knew.

I think we need to find out some information (from either future Aimee or Zach) that only Aimee would know. What she did for her birthday this year. What she's PLANNING to do for her birthday NEXT year, etc. etc. Failing that, set up a fake LinkdIn account? Although I'm not sure what we'd do with that.

From what I can work out, I think the background images are just broken up images of the sign in the beginning of the video

Well I may have burnt my bridges with Aimee(2014):

As I'm sure you can imagine, I'm extremely busy at the moment so forgive my shortness if you really are coming from a good place with this.

I don't know what kind of game you're playing, but it's not going to work.

I'll admit, as a derailing strategy, it's certainly original, but I don't know what you're trying to achieve. I don't know if you're trying to confuse me, scare me or God knows what. I just don't have the time to even begin piecing together whatever nonsense you have cooked up in your head.

Please don't contact me again.


So either it's up to someone else to contact her, or we need something that's going to convince her that I'm mot a psycho. The cracking on 18 should be done in 14 hours. Maybe we'll have something else to go on then.

I attempted to pretend I work for AstraZeneca, and added Aimee on LinkedIn, but Aimee seems suspicious, she said:

Quote:
I saw that you tried to add me on LinkedIn. I also see you work at AstraZeneca.

I know a lot of the assistants in my Division (or at least know of them); and I don't recall seeing your name anywhere.

Can I ask why you didn't contact me on my work email?


I replied saying I couldn't get through to her on her work email, and I was part of a different Division, but I'm not sure she'll buy it.

Not a bad idea - anyone fancy creating a fake Pfizer account?

OK encryption cracking complete:

HRI_CONTROL

…Service. I knew I had to get out; if John had been discovered then it was only a matter of time before I was.

I hid underground with the HRI. Aimee and I had been working with them to prevent the attack, but we were discovered before we could really do anything productive.

John was working for the Resistance, which we weren't really happy about. Where the HRI are all about honesty and peace, the Resistance were all about brutality and justice.

We wanted the same things, but the Resistance had very different ways of going about it.

Each to their own, I guess.

Once I made it to the Ark, and found Aimee, I figured that was it.

This was as good as it was going to get for me, and to be honest, I couldn't complain.

Not when innocent people were dying in the streets for no reason.

I thought it was all over. There was nothing more I could do.

Then the Ark radio picked…

Which, combined with the previous binaries, gives us:

I've not found any additional pages off this one yet.

Im thinking it will eventually become

"Change the future" or "Change the Past"


What jumps out at me from the latest page is the "Guinea Worm" also known as "Dracunculus medinensis" and have tried lots of various names for it but no luck so far.

Yeah that's the angle I was working on too, but nothing so far.

I hate chasing spelling mistakes as a puzzle as sometimes people's spelling is atrocious. In this letter though there are a lot.

Was spelt without an a
Rubella spelt with an h
Remails instead of remains

Could be something there...

Also "lead" instead of "led" (but that's a common mistake), and "extracing" instead of "extracting.I agree with you I hate spelling puzzles. I'm not sure if that's what this is though.

If you remember the "genesis96" code came via email. maybe the next link will come the same way.

I can't see these three mistakes... they look correct to me, unless I'm missing something?

However, I can see the other two that ThunderWolf pointed out and I have additionally spotted sigificant instead of significant, in the second line the l is missing off the end of Methyl and dispersable instead of dispersible (again, probably quite common).

There does seem to be rather a lot of mistakes, compared with the other letters though.

In reply to my asking future Aimee a few questions only she could answer she wrote:
.
Thank you for contacting me. The more people do, the more hope I have of being able to stop this.

Simply put; I was pushed out of AstraZeneca after Pfizer replaced me with their staff. They replaced my entire Senior Team too. So when FEA Global approached me in late 2015 with the primary focus of Research & Development, it would have seemed daft not to join.

Hindsight truly is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

As for hobbies? Both my jobs at AstraZeneca and FEA Global took up so much of my time that I didn't really have the chance to do anything else. I wasn't a typical 'executive' type, spending all my days in a boardroom listening to typical corporate nonsense; if my staff were working late on a breakthrough then I was right there to help them. I remember spending many late nights with my team working on OlympiAD (it was a PARP inhibitor for metastatic breast cancer) so that took up a lot of my time before Pfizer made me leave.

I'm sorry if that isn't what you were hoping for, but I hope it helps in some way.

Take care, Aimee

The new link is

Interestingly the page is called e5b2 as opposed to the usual donottrustthetesseract

Hi Russell,

Glad everything is OK.

In terms of helping, please just keep doing what you're doing. I know it'll take a while for all the information to come through, but stick with it. It might not make a lot of sense at the moment, but it will do once you have it all.

I'm always here if you need help!

And please don't be worried about our timeline. Whatever happens to us, it can't be any worse than the Tesseract killing tens of millions of people.

Aimee will join FEA Global in late 2015. Until then, it's just a case of trying to convince your Aimee that you're only looking out for her best interests.

If nothing else, at least she'll be aware of the dangers before she jumps in.

Try your best, but don't neglect your own freedom in pursuit of helping us. Go where you want, and do what (or who) you want whilst you're still free to do so.

Once the Seven Sisters are established, your freedom will be nothing but a distant memory.

Zach

Beaut email Russell. Also, it gives a hint to the next count-down page. Your two new page names look possibly like the first 8bits of an MD5 hash.
