I received the parcel today. Indeed, it is the black case shown in the picture that TravelerJ19 placed in a bulletin on MySpace. Inside was an index card and 2 vials.

The front of the index card:




The back of the index card:




Vial #1 labeled 'J2' containing a clear liquid:




Vial #2 containing a blue powder:




First, here's the code on the back of the card:

Code:

48 49 2e 20 20 41 64 64 20 74 68
65 20 62 6c 75 65 20 70 6f 77 64
65 72 20 74 6f 20 4a 32 2e 20 20 54
68 65 20 73 61 6d 70 6c 65 20 77 69
6c 6c 20 62 65 20 64 65 73 74 72 6f
79 65 64 20 77 69 74 68 69 6e 20 73
65 63 6f 6e 64 73 2e 20 20 44 69 73
70 6f 73 65 20 6f 66 20 74 68 65 20 76
69 61 6c 73 2e 20 20 47 6f 6f 64 20 6c 75
63 6b 20 74 6f 20 79 6f 75 2e


which translates to:

Quote:

HI. Add the blue powder to J2. The sample will be destroyed within seconds. Dispose of the vials. Good luck to you.


And here's the note on the front:

Quote:

WD

THERE HAS BEEN AN INCIDENT STOP WHAT HAPPENED TO THE J NINETEEN STOP


Needless to say, I have not opened the vials, and don't see how mixing the chemicals at this point will help with the mystery. I'm going to leave them as is for now.

So, what do you think?

Hell No! There is NO WAY I would mix two 'chemicals' together without knowing what they are. Let Traveler J make a video of the chemicals being mixed.

Totally.

Plus there's the message. Who is 'WD' ? (those aren't my initials, by the way).

I did a google search for WD. Hey, why not, right? And of course came up with WD-40.
This is interesting:
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/wd-40.asp
Probably not of any importance, but we could speculate that he wants you to shine your silverware.

More interesting is: http://bmerc-www.bu.edu/projects/wdrepeat/
Quote:
WD-repeat-containing proteins are those that contain 4 or more copies of the WD-repeat (tryptophan-aspartate repeat), a sequence motif approximately 31 amino acids long, that encodes a structural repeat. This repeat is described by the following profile, where x is ANY amino acid.


Edit because the simplest explanation is probably the correct one.
WD = Well Done.

Great job getting all this posted McPackage. I don't know what it's supposed to mean, but the whole 'chemical thing' is just too risky. We have no idea who Traveler J is.

ok this is going to sound a little odd but do you have pH paper to test the liquid with. Like the thing you use to test pools or something?

That would help tell us what the liquid is.

and do you have a better closeup of the powder? because it looks more like crystals to me

Why does he want the sample destroyed, if he took all the trouble to send it? Why wouldn't he just have destroyed it himself?

His last movie was catalyst. Maybe be blue powder is a catalyst intended to initiate a chemical reaction. What kind and why?

It looks like it may be zinc, or a zinc compound. I googled "Blue Powder" chemical and found this link:

I don't know much about chemistry. I hope this makes some sense to someone.

I Googled "Zinc, Chemical, Reactions" (without the commas and quotes), and got this:

http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/Zn/chem.html

Chemical reactions of the elements
Reaction of zinc with air
Zinc metal tarnishes in moist air. Zinc metal burns in air to form the white zinc(II) oxide, a material that tirns yellow on prolonged heating.

2Zn(s) + O2(g) → 2ZnO(s) [white]

Reaction of zinc with water
Zinc does not react with water.

Reaction of zinc with the halogens
Zinc dibromide, zinc(II) dibromide, ZnBr2, and zinc diiodide, zinc(II) dibiodide, NiI2, are formed in the reactions of zinc metal and bromine, Br2, or iodine, I2.

Zn(s) + Br2(g) → ZnBr2(s) [white]

Zn(s) + I2(g) → ZnI2(s) [white]

Reaction of zinc with acids
Zinc metal dissolves slowly in dilute sulphuric acid to form solutions containing the aquated Zn(II) ion together with hydrogen gas, H2. In practice, the Zn(II) is present as the complex ion [Zn(OH2)6]2+.

Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + H2(g)

The reacts of zinc with oxidizing acids such as nitric acid, HNO3, are complex and depend upon precise conditions.

Reaction of zinc with bases
Zinc metal dissolves in aqueous alkalis such as potassium hydroxide, KOH, to form zincates such as [Zn(OH)4]2-. The resulting solutions contain other species as well.

I'm a pharmacy major. chemistry is my specialty Wink

thats why i asked what the pH of the liquid is so I know what to narrow it down to and to see the thing more clearly so I can help id it Smile

I think the words on the index card are a anagram...

While I look at the index card are the words glued on?

If so the seperates peices of paper probably represent different parts of the anagram...

Or maybe we have to rearrange it?

Edit to add: Nvm... also "stop" doesn't mean anything....It's used to symbolize the end of a sentence...Usually when using a telegraph I believe...

Edit to add: Summary: He destroyed J1 he's assuming McPackage destroyed J2 and he wants us to find another person...more morse code at the end...


Don't have time to solve, I have to leave in 5 minutes =/

Nope, no pH paper. Here's a bigger shot of the vial, although I'm not able to get a real clear shot of the substance with my camera.
