 |
|
It's been cracked, Beast, thanks to the efforts of Mintgurl, Acidfingers, and surrealisticpill (a big hand to them). The password is "stratemeyer576." It's the last name of Nancy Drew's creator with the number of syllables in each line of the "haiku" from Tach's note added on.
Once you get the thing opened, you'll find a folder called "igel tsetop non tse mucearG." It's "Graecum est non potest legi" backwards, which is Latin for "It is Greek; it cannot be read."
This is a hint to change the file extension on the larger files to ".jpg," but the extension on the smaller one has to be changed to ".txt."
The first two files become images (which I'll add to this post in a moment), one called "LIGATURES" in hexadecimal code (4c4947415455524553) and the other called "AMALGAMATION" (414d414c47414d4154494f4e). The third file becomes a text file encoded in Base64, and called "SEMANTIKOS" (53454d414e54494b4f53).
Credit for all of those file and title decodings, by the way, goes to Opladybug, Jo_16_2, Killthesmiley, and islandlove. Here's the pictures and the text:
LIGATURES
AMALGAMATION
SEMANTIKOS

It decodes to this:
| Quote: | The Theta is similar to an Egyptian symbol that represents the Sun, and the Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water. So the Sun equals Ra...and the water equals Naunet? Or maybe Poseidon? When combined this "watcher" symbol establishes that the Order rules and watches over all that exists in between.
Theta is the 8th letter, Mu is the 12th. So that's one more 12, but the 8 = ?.
Theta was also used as an abbreviation for "Thanatos," and considered a warning of death. |
The files seem to explain the origin of the Watchers' symbol. By the way, some of us also think that the text file suggests the ceremony is done every 12 years. I know Gemma kind of turned out to not be on the up and up, but she had some truths mixed with the falsehoods.
Tachyon's sister was the girl who took part in the ceremony Gemma mentioned in "They Disappeared...". Gemma indicated that to have been about 11 years before that video. If that and the 12 years thing are true, then the time for Bree's ceremony might be near (especially since Gemma made that video on October 31; it's already been nearly four months since then). The Order may need her any day now. Stay alert and do heed this information. Bree kind of ignored comments from us for a while when she was being warned about OpAphid. Don't do that yourself.
By the way, diastres thought these links might be useful:
Also, tigerlilylnn noticed that the Phoenician rendering of the letter "nu"/"nun" looks like the "I" in OpAPHID's logo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nun_%28letter%29
We all hope this helps. Good luck, Beast.

Oh dear. Maybe none of this information was meant for your eyes Daniel. Watch out or someone's going to tell Bree you've been hiding things from her, and I'm sure she wouldn't like that at all...

| I think we should show this to Bree, since Bree is the one who Tachyon was going to contact to open this file originally. It will probably make more sense to her than it will to Daniel. Afterall, Bree does know more than she's told us. |

Good point. I'll throw her a link over there in the thread somebody made about Daniel sharing the file with us. |

It shouldn't. I mean, he posted his video to the internet for all to see. There's no way she doesn't know about it already, right?
Well, if he does get upset, hopefully it won't be too much. She'd have found out sooner or later anyway (probably sooner). |

Then Ze Beast should not leak files that are not meant for him.
These were meant for Bree, she needs to see the information herself. |

Since she posted a video after him, she pretty much has to have seen it.
Weird she didn't acknowledge it/ seem to be working more with Daniel to figure stuff out.

Daniel has figured out a way to make the video appear on computers other than the ones that are at the cabin?  Man, is he smart; he should have stayed on college, and left Bree with Jonas.

I'm sad! I figured out the password yesterday, but wasn't able to post it because I was too busy moving! Now I get no credit and I was all excited for figuring it out all by myself too!
Now that that's done, I guess it's all good. At least someone else was able to figure it out.

Sorry, EG. That sucks.
