Yeah the previews are wrong but if you click through you get the image of the business card. I called the number as well -- assuming it's the same message? A low whispery voice?

I played around with it a little, but it sounds like it's in already at the correct direction and speed, just a hard to understand voice.

To me it sounds something like

"The rainfalls are also missing"
definitely something along that rhythmic pattern, but not sure how that ties in to anything.

The writing on the cover of the CD is tic-tac-toe cipher which reads

"good luck"

 		Here's a recording of what I got, I can't make out "trust us" at all.
Maybe it's different audio?

 		No it's the same recording. I must've been very tired when I listen to it because now I can hear that either 🙊

 		This was the text I just received.

"So uh...the system just locked me out. This is the only way I have left of communication, unless I can restore the website somehow. There is a contingency in place in case of this, a code-card with an access code so I can get back in. I'll work on finding it."

 		Further discussions with SAP via text.

"The rain falls for those who listen." I believe that's what the recording was saying... had the first part right at least Smile

Also,

"Do not trust the man behind the computer. They mean ruin to us all. The device is not what it seems. Take great caution."

Tried to ask what the device really is, but got a reply that they don't have time or connection to chat.

"BEWARE OF PROVENANCE. Take heed - do what the man says, but at the end times, destroy the device and everything associated with it. Remember - there is always a third option."

It's a very corrupted PNG file... tried to reconstruct it a little, but not getting much out. Unfortunately with PNG being a compressed file format one little error can stop things in its tracks.

 		LOGDUMP2
so I went to the log dump again today and it had been edited.
Here is the new part

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ERROR at line 142DE in security.cfg: "Quickly realized that form isn't working, so I'll shorthand this. There has been a breach, I've been absent for some time, I apologize, please be patient. Recruit more people please, hard to do drops without them. Next drop will be Wednesday, if you see anyone that looks suspicious, do not engage, simply acquire drop and move along, report to me afterward. Good luck."

 		new pastebin
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

This will be simple, quick, and as fast as possible. I walked my way to a new pod and burned the last one, this one still has logins so I can use the website again. The drop on Wednesday will have to be quick and easy. I will have people watching this one. If there are any shady or suspicious characters and there are MARKINGS ON THE DISK, then you should report the incident to me. Otherwise, continue on if there are NO MARKINGS ON THE DISK.

This pod is a pretty old one, so I'll have to be careful with what I do.

Good luck Operatives. The faster we can end this, the better, so Coughlan can return to normal activities.

We HAVE TO ACTIVATE THE DEVICE.
