 
been several months since I had anything to report regarding our common interest. However, just two weeks ago I happened upon additional information which may prove to be of intense interest to this group. First, in an attempt to establish my credibility, I feel I should explain my situation and why I choose to release this information through this medium. Although my "eight-legged" former counterpart is apparently still within the Organization, my attempts to establish contact him have been unsuccessful. I would prefer to publish these findings in a manner similar to my previous reports, but it appears that additional security measures have been put in place which prevent me from doing so. After discovering this, I attempted to locate a method of communication, which would reach the greatest amount of people in the shortest amount of time. With these criteria in mind, this listserv seemed appropriate, and I haven't time to look any farther. For those are not familiar with me and my past contributions, perhaps others here will be able to summarize my history. I dare not try that now. For my own reasons, I hardly dare release what information I have obtained. Because I intend to reveal this information in such a way as to minimize the inevitable risk I place myself in, perhaps my words will appear cryptic and lacking of specifics. I will consistently replace several key names for my own safety. My hope is that your collective experience in logic and puzzle solving will assist you in realizing the full meaning of what I have discovered. In the twelve months which have transpired since my last report, I have journeyed much in search of answers to an even larger puzzle. Some of you may recall the assasination of a counterintelligence agent ho had infultrated the Organization from which my former counterpart and I were reporting. Though neither my former counterpart nor I knew it at the time, this gross act would prove to have consequences which have occupied all my resources since that time. Having no other clue to the assasin's motives other than the huge instrument of death and the victim's nickname, I took flight from the northwestern United States to the jungle regions of Latin America. For my own safety, I will not elaborate on my activities there. About one month ago, I intercepted a transmission which would lead me back into the United States, but this time into the southwestern region. Approximently two weeks ago, after clearing the point of entry at Malaga, I was about 100 miles directly south of my final destination when I was forced to stop for the night. Were it not for this unplanned delay, I would not have happened upon the catalyst of my discovery: By complete and unanticipated fortune, the details of which I will not divulge, I overheard a group discussing in detail very specific plans the very same Organization. The location of this accidental run-in was the well known national park of natural caverns in that region. I have a visual familiarity with the employees of the Organization, I can assure you that none of the people I saw were known to me. I had never seen these people, and had no idea how they had received such accurate insider information. As I attempted learn of their intentions by following at a discrete distance, I happened to overhear the name of the firm they represent: "Headspin Technology." Before this time, I had never heard of this group, though due to the nature of their conversation, I was certain they were directly involved in the future projects of the Organization. Still uncertain whether I could PROVE a connection between the Organization and this firm, I began to investigate. As I expected, a cursory check of the firm's commercial internet presence offered no additional evidence that they were involved in the development of future projects with the Organization. The only information evident is that apparently the firm was in the initial development stages of a 3d game engine, although they had nothing to show for it. At this point I was ready to dismiss my initial assumptions for lack of further physical evidence of any association. At the very point when I was about to abandon this search, I discovered several online sections where, buried in lines of inane commentary, were several suspicious comments apparently authored by individual employees of the firm. Not only do they make reference to having interesting business visitors very recently, but they also describe in detail being introduced to recreational activities which employees of the Organization were very enthusiastic about participating in. This seemed to indicate that employees of the Organization have already traveled to visit members of this firm. Still, I was confused as to why the firm's internet presence had absolutely nothing to show for their efforts in creating a 3d game engine. At this point, I resolved to double my efforts, and to see if there was more information to be retrieved which could not initially be found. I spent several days in this search, and finally had some measure of success. This time, my reward was due to training, and not to sheer luck: I was able to retrieve substantial amounts of information by accessing an html document not directly referenced by currently published pages. To replicate this process, take away the _new to see the old. From this revelation, it became apparent that this firm does indeed have a working 3d engine which would be quite suitable for driving a game. They are farther along than I thought, and as the employees inadvertently pointed out, there is evidence that the firm is indeed working with the Organization. I have also begun background investigations on individual employees of the firm. My research adds yet another piece to the puzzle: jyy[://c4.frksmred.vp,/hryfpv.c[?SM=460958543&VPMYRCY=015868715.2388866513&joymi,=2 You'll want to alphanumerically break this down and see what's left. The coincidental reference to tools commonly known to be used by the Organization suggests further involvement. As I have continued my investigations in the ensuing days, I also turned my attention to the activities of the Organization. By coincidence, I learned that several employees of the Organization returned from out of town immediately after I had my run-in with members of the firm. As of this moment, I have been unable to confirm where they were returning from, but it is conceivable that they too were in the vicinity of these caverns, and I was unaware of their presence. Finally, and possibly the most interesting piece of evidence yet, one week ago I dared to directly contact one of the employees of the Organization directly regarding the validity of this information, and if it had merit enough to publish. I presented him with a portion of the facts I had at the time, and received this response almost immediately: >Subject: Re: new mexico news? >Date: Tue, 1 Sep 98 11:22:16 +0100 >From: Richard A.

Watson * mailto:[email protected] * > \_/ * Programmer / D'ni Historian * http://www.cyan.com * > C Y A N ------------------------------------------------------------ Though his reply is not an open admission that my findings are accurate, it certainly is not a denial. In my recollection of the writings by this employee, I had never before seen him employ the word "fascinating". Though these evidences are not concrete, I interpret them to indicate that the current project of the Organization entails working on a 3d game based on technology developed at the mentioned firm. I believe that some, or possibly all of the members of both of these groups visited these caverns in the southwest to assist in its design. Perhaps this sheds some light on what the theme of the game might be. To be fair I should say that I have collected additional facts, or rather, evidences of additional facts, to support these theories. While it is not safe for me to divulge these facts now, time will tell whether the situation will change in the future. Though I will probably not communicate with this listserv again, I will continue to monitor it for a time to see if you can apply your resources in an attempt to gather additional information. - Widow The puzzle being, of course : jyy[://c4.frksmred.vp,/hryfpv.c[?SM=460958543&VPMYRCY=015868715.2388866513&joymi,=2 You'll want to alphanumerically break this down and see what's left.

First we know its a web page because of the "://" So j=h y=t [=p And if you look a your keyboard you'll see that h is to left of j, as are the others. Scroll down some more if you need more help. So if you do that to the rest(changing only the alphanumeric characters) , you end up with: htt[://x3.dejanews.co,/getdoc.x[?AN=359847432&CONTEXT=914757614.1277755412&hitnu,=1 Now we have run into a problem, this is not a valid address. Also changing the 1's would make them a `, which is not a alphanumeric character. Scroll down some more if you need more help. We solve this problem by changing the 1 to a 0 since the 0 would be the next valid character you would run into by going to the left on that row. We also assume that we can change a non-alphanumeric character if by changing it makes it one. So now we have: httpL//x3.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=359847432&CONTEXT=904757604.1277755402&hitnum=1 Which still does not work because we changed the : to a L. Now here is where Widow ran into a problem making the puzzle. If the : was put as a " in the puzzle it would not be allowed to be changed. So we leave it alone as a : , and get: http://x3.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=359847432&CONTEXT=904757604.1277755402&hitnum=1 Scroll down some more if you what more information on what to do after this.
