Also, we will not modify Project 9.

 		well, Ian Corbett of ADI is in the middle of reviewing the "Final Presentation for Project #8".

(the one where "1,571 degrees kelvin" was changed to "371 degrees kelvin", to make the power of the crystals appear much less powerful.

and his response will be one of 3 things.

a) the solution is okay as provided (proving that Ian and/or his boss Reese do NOT know the decoded journal entry's contents before the intern class translate them

or

b) the solution is wrong (proving that Ian and/or his boss Reese DO know the decoded journal entry's contents before the intern class informs them (they are capable of doing translation/decoding themselves)

or

c) the solution appears wrong (due to something like the number of letters in a certain word) - in which case, Ian and/or his boss Reese are unaware of decoded journal entry beforehand, but monitor the translation enough to at least spot some changes/errors in its decoding.

I will be disappointed if the result is (b) above, as then it becomes a question of why did ADI need the intern class to decode the journal entries, if they could it themselves. ?

 		Either way, now we're getting something to really participate in, rather than semi-robotic translations. Yay!

 		keep truckin'
all interns, please continue to go the ADI intern forum site and vote on solutions to coded journal entries

http://www.acoustic-distortion.com/internforums/

It seems the only way to move the game forward to a conclusion.

Also, two recent tweets from Dr Roger Ripley: https://twitter.com/PhdRipley/with_replies

 		The drop may not be in England - Roger POsted this in Facebook


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
he mentioned an opportunity but took ADI first - it is in the Facebook

Finally able to take a breath after the move into ADI. When I arrived home tonight I was welcomed by an research offer from Ft. Vancouver in the states which I had applied for several months ago. Ha! When it rains it pours! I have always wanted to do some archaeological explorations of the American Wild West. Unfortunately, the timing could not be worse. Having to turn them down really hurts... but my work here at ADI now supersedes everything else. http://www.nps.gov/fova/index.htm

 		there is a hidden url to discover that may reveal illegal and immoral activity by ADI company.

so far, we have been given parts of the address through the "keys" used to create the decrypting alphabet for the journal entries.

as of Journal entry # 21, we have...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.acoustic-distortion.com/admin/income/dark/deals/hide/secur/


I have tried many words for the next part of the url, including
Code:
[strike]asia antony reeces reese ian corbett anthony iraq iran isis syria korea[/strike]


EDIT 11/14/2014:
as of Journal entry # 22, and some good efforts by "Matt Woods", we have been led to a password protected pdf file at

http://www.acoustic-distortion.com/admin/income/dark/deals/hide/secur/found.pdf

We need to discover the password as soon as possible.
It is probably associated with an ADI employee
(see http://www.acoustic-distortion.com/contact/),
most likely Reese or Corbett

please help by trying some passwords - i'm sure we can find it Smile

 		For anyone following this ARG here, there's been discoveries made...

The pdf file password has been discovered, and lots of data about ADI's secrets is now known.

The 2 scrolls which were picked up at drops are nearly decoded (in Latin)
with a unique encryption methodology.

So check out the google community at:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/111927037478605146634

if you want to see, or help out discover more.

 		And more connections being made. IN the decryption of Journal 24 we find a mention of

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Puzzle pieces being made by Pyro puzzles and a reference to John Watson....

decided to try the conversion of
some non-pure samples so i bought
in a set of four machined
aluminium puzzles that a friend of
mine had been involved with the
base material of these was six
zero six one aluminium alloy

i subjected all four of these
assemblies to prolonged exposure
using the secret harmony for
silver

analysis of the results indicates
a high conversion rate with some
impurities the result appears to
be a high end jewellery grade
silver equivalent to nine two five

if john wants the puzzles back he
will be in for a bit of a shock
