Consolidated Information

[m4dc4p]

Maybe it's time to put everything we've got into one place.

Here are the decoded red messages:

1. Fellow Citizens - The mark I was tailing was an odd duck. Not sure whose side he was on.
2. Thought he was mixed up with all the recent unexplained fireworks in our skies
3. Possible fifth columnist conducting Soviet experiments in weather manipulation
4. But it seems as if there is more than one gang of black hats loose in Seattle
5. my mark settled at a table in the bar no idea who he was waiting for or why
6. Then the doors kicked in. A bunch of dark suits started waving guns around
7. Everybody lammed out but me. I dove behind the bar as they cornered the mark
8. They roughed him up asking him for answers then they shot the mark right in the head
9. And that's when I realized I had more things to worry about than catching lead slugs.
10. Trying to intercept plans for VECATV. If I survive you will be called to act this Sept. Stand by. Citizen 13.

Thanks to Citizeon Aspeon for figuring out the cipher ; thanks to Citizen DiscoC for providing the cipher for message #1.

A picture of the chalkboard from the bunker at O:PAX:

The cards, posted to the teletype feed:

A picture of the victim found Friday, August 26 is at http://twitpic.com/6dmlf6 (unclear who this is). Citizen One posted an X-Ray of the victim as well:

Citizen One posted a strange photo supposedly from western Washington:

(from http://www.citizenskywatch.com/intel...est_washington)

The numbers along the bottom are morse code and translate to: "13 is alive" (thanks to Citizen Gditz for decoding it: http://forums.2kgames.com/showthread...00#post1453300).

Citizen Codex described her experience at Operation Papa Alpha X-Ray (at http://forums.2kgames.com/showthread...78#post1452278), which culminates at a bar the evening of Friday, August 26, the last place Citizen 13 was seen:

I arrived promptly at 10 am on Friday, only to be greeted by the strangest sight. It was a fallout shelter. I had heard of them being built, due to the fears from Russia and potential nuclear war. I hadn’t seen one however, and was more than a little shocked to see the things inside. What first drew my attention was the board of evidence left in the entrance hall – it contained all of the supposed “hoax” documents that were sent during P:EU. Every single piece of info was stamped with a “hoax” rubber stamp and then left to examine.

As I observed this board, a gentleman with a Citizen Skywatch armband approached me and inquired as to whether or not I had seen the Vesiliyev picture. I nodded, and said that I had. He then surreptitiously turned back and said “take a good look, and keep it in mind.”

I was unsure what he meant, but then a nearby door opened and a rather severe nurse dragged me into the doctor’s office. Why there was a doctor’s office in a bomb shelter, I will never know, but there was one. I didn’t see the doctor’s face at first, but he was listening intently to a radio that was producing static. The nurse barked some questions at me and took some measurements, during one of which I was able to read a small chalkboard on a nearby wall. As the nurse turned away to grab the doctor’s attention, I managed to snap a Polaroid photo of the evidence board. I did not have time to photograph the blackboard, but I see someone else has already done reported it to our fellow citizens.

I was then questioned by the doctor, who inquired if I was a communist, before sending me through a curtain into a development room. There were several pictures of members of the Citizen Elite, as well as many pictures of the strange figure with glowing eyes. It was too dark in this room to take a picture – I surmised that it had been used to develop pictures, maybe a darkroom of some sort? – but I was soon requested to give my name, base of operations and skill set. I was then required to have a photo taken, before being told to meet with Citizen 13 that night.

Much later, I made my way to the meeting place with my camera in hand. Just as I went to meet with Citizen 13 in the bar that had been specified, I heard a loud crack of what sounded like electricity. I was pushed to the ground by another citizen, my camera snapping a shot just before I fell. In the confusion, I heard people yelling about aliens, communists, the government... A gun shot went off as well before I started to run. I was running until last night... I was just too scared.

During my running time, I started to think. The Vesiliyev picture still stuck in my mind, even though I know from my time as a Hermes in P:EU he was dead. The doctor at the shelter looked... well, he looked similar. Maybe my panicked mind has been playing tricks on me... oh well. I am safe now, and will develop the pictures that I took. I have heard reports that someone died in that bar, that it is Citizen 13. I doubt that it is 13 who ended up dead. Our fellow Citizen Elite strike me as much more hardy and capable than a simple initiate such as myself

[Codex]

This is a very thorough log. Thanks for putting this together, Citizen m4dc4p. I'll see if I can make it a little more visible for people.

Would have liked to put this in the OP but there is an image limit.

[Ga1Friday]

Sorry if this has been asked and asnwered citizens, but do we know what "VECATV" is?

[IllusionOfLife]

I'm not sure on that one either, GalFriday. From the context it sounds like it could be some sort of enemy intelligence group, likely controlled by the Soviets, but it's hard to say for sure. Does anyone have any intel on this?

[jack shadow]

the message on the intercepted whether warfare documents reads " government agents on my trail we'll release more info soon 13"
Edit: Citizen Illusionoflife's translation is correct


and the markings on the document are the same from the same place that sent out these letters.. http://i.imgur.com/SIwC4.jpg
I hope I posted this in the right place..

[IllusionOfLife]

Here are those documents Citizen Jack Shadow is referring to:





EDIT: Also, my translation differs slightly from Jack Shadow's: "GOVERNMENT AGENTS ON MY TRAIL. WE'LL RELEASE MORE INFO SOON –13"

[Gditz]

With the help of loyal Citizen Limer, we have gone through the 2 recent documents and tried to find the redacted words. Here is the result of hours of research into recent government operations and agency reports. We are 95% certain that each word we have filled in is correct but would like more eyes on it to cover any mistakes we might have made.





Maintain vigilance
-Citizen Gditz

[beta_angel]

Citizen Gditz, very interesting information.

Care to share with us how you were able to decipher the redacted words?

[Limer]

As Citizen Gditz previously mentioned we went through several government reports regarding the projects and people in the intercepted corespondence. If there is any word in particular you have questions about we would be happy to explain why we picked that word. However explaining every single word would take too much time I'm afraid.

Also if there is any project or person you wish to read more about i could provide you with the report and any other information that was found during our investigation of the contents of this document.

It is important to mention that we do not think the information contained in the documents we have obtained is relevant to the Citizen skywatch, besides perhaps to explain these redacted words. And since we don't deem these documents to be relevant i am hesitant to providing them in this particular bulletin board thread, seeing as this thread is for "Consolidated Information".

[Codex]

Let's try to keep discussion out of this particular message board, friends. We need to keep the information as concise as possible as new Citizens join our ranks!

[beta_angel]

Apologies, Citizen Codex.

I merely wished to understand how they came to procure the answers they've provided so that future Citizen Skywatchers might be able to participate in future endeavors and this seemed like the appropriate thread...as it would be valuable information.

However, I see your point and shall relent.

[m4dc4p]

Probably time to unsticky this thread! It's gotten out of date.

[IllusionOfLife]

Here's the intel we've received over the last week to bring this thread up to date:

[08/31]: This photo was posted on the Citizen Skywatch Teletype feed:

URGENT TX: West Washington sighting forwarded by unknown source. Danger continues. #CitizenSkywatch

The morse code message, as translated by Citizen Gdtiz reads:

13 IS ALIVE

[09/08]: The Citizen Skywatch Front Page is updated with an Urgent Message about Citizen 13's cross country mission:

[09/10]: Calls begin going out to various Citizens on both coasts of the United States with a morse code message from C.S.W. Here is a recording of one such message courtesy of Citizen Ranger Six:

http://soundcloud.com/a-saboteur/csw-voicemail

The morse code messages in the call translated to two network locations:

WWW.CRYSTALPOLECAT.COM

and

WWW.EMERALDVANGUARD.COM

Also, some of our Citizens were able to discover two more broadcasts on the following frequencies:

http://www.mercuryteacup.com

and

http://www.tomatopowderkeg.com

However, shortly after both frequencies went dead, for as of now unknown reasons.

UPDATE: [09/13] On September 13th Mercury Teacup went back on the air, but Tomato Powderkeg is still off the air.

These pages contained encoded information from Citizen Thirteen, and due to the work of various Citizens we were able to decode the messages:

Transmissions And Locations

CrystalPoleCat: "Citizens of Los Angeles: You are needed for Operation Crystal Polecat on Saturday September 17 between the hours of noon and 4 PM in Inglewood. Head to West Manchester Blvd and South La Cienega Blvd. Approach the structure wyth the circular object on its roof. Request the blue box held under the name CITIZEN THIRTEEN. 20 boxes are being held. Good luck." LOCATION ON MAP

Emerald Vanguard: Attention Citizens of Boston. You are needed for mobilization on Saturday September Seventeenth between the hours of noon and four PM.

LOCATION ON MAP

[09/12]:A letter is received by Citizen Skywatch at their headquarters from a Washington State postmark:

On the same day, a newspaper clipping from Washington State is posted on the Citizen Skywatch Teletype Feed:

[IllusionOfLife]

[09/13]: A pair of punch cards were received by Citizen Skywatch Headquarters and posted at the Recruitment Center:

Shortly after Citizen DiscoC discovered that the holes punched in the punch cards line up with the letter received the day before to form a secret message:

In addition, I discovered that the numbers on the punch cards, when converted to morse code, held a hidden message:

"THE MISSION IS IN THE NUMBERS ELINE"

NOTE: This is repeated numerous times on both cards with a few minor variations due to punched out numbers.

Later that same day more Citizens received phone calls regarding the aforemetioned Operations being organized by Citizen 13. Here is a recording of one such phone call courtesy of Citizen jewleeuh:

http://soundcloud.com/missjewleeuh/citizens

Transcribed to the best of my ability:

Alert: this is a message from Citizen Skywatch. Citizens of Los Angeles, top secret evidence must be secured. You are called for mobilization. Target date: Saturday, September 17th, between the hours of Noon and 4 PM. Geographic location: Inglewood. Cross streets: West Manchester Blvd and South La Cienega Blvd. Approach the structure with the circular object on its roof. Request the blue box held under the name "Citizen Thirteen." 20 Boxes are being held. Execute your submission and report your findings. [morse code] This is Operation Crystal Polecat out.

I was able to decode the message and found it contained a network reference code leading back to this bulletin board.

[IllusionOfLife]

URGENT UPDATE REGARDING ORGANIZATION: CITIZEN SPYWATCH:

What we initially thought to be merely an amateur smear campaign against our organization has now made it's intentions known and is a direct threat to Citizen One and members of Citizen Skywatch. Here is the history of the information we have on the organization:

[09/06]: Member "Citizen Spywatch" makes his or her first post on this Bulletin Board with this information:

How dim are you lot?

Citizen One keeps warning you to "trust no one" -- except him... whom you are advised to trust blindly. Ah -- the cheek of it! Who knows the threat of the government better than the government? Well, my darlings... look sharp, think twice. And consider who's really on your side.

http://bit.ly/rutgpg

This post was met generally with disinterest and most Citizens expressed continued loyalty to Citizen One.


[09/07]: The following day, the Citizen Skywatch Recruitment Center posts this message:

CITIZENS: Citizen One has been targeted by a disinformation campaign at www.citizenspywatch.com - this can only distract us from our core message. While the Citizen Elite must remain anonymous and the secrecy surrounding Citizen One is vital to his survival, I assure you he can be trusted and that his goals are what he has presented to you. Maintain vigilance.

[09/12 & 09/13]: Citizen 13 sends a mysterious letter and punch cards to view the hidden message to Citizen Skywatch Headquarters. The following is an excerpt from that message (see above for the message in its entirety):

Citizen Spywatch isn't to be trusted. Are agents playing games with us? VECATV may be the key.

[09/14]: Today a newspaper clipping was posted on the Citizen Skywatch Recruitment Center containing a thinly veiled threat towards our group:

Advise we be extra cautious now that Citizen Spywatch has announced themselves as a direct threat. No indications of violence have been given, but you never know with these people. Stay vigilant, keep your friends close, and report any potential threats to bit.ly/C-S-W

OPERATION EMERALD VANGUARD

DATE OF MEET: Saturday, Sept. 17

Upon converging at the location directed by Skywatch, Soldiers who arrived received a code that led them to acquire a book. Written by Citizen One and titled, "To Conquer an Enemy Unknown," the book was actually not exactly what met the eye. Hollowed out, the book actually acted as a container for some documents, photos, and a Skywatch button.

The following images were taken by Citizen JohnnyCon7. Excellent work!

Though the images illustrate most of what was found, the books also contained some shredded papers. The next task was to figure out how to piece them back together properly, as these were likely to be more important documents.

Citizen JohnnyCon7 offers what he was able to complete:

Document 1
Document 2
Document 3

Getting everything in place required cooperation from all of the Soldiers available, as they all had different pieces of the same papers. It must have been a difficult task, as I've yet to find any evidence of the shredded documents completed and readable; though the evidence above did a fine job.

For summary purposes, this post does not go into the best detail. For more in-depth explanations and accounts, be sure to check out the following posts and topics:

OPERATION TOMATO POWDERKEG

DATE OF MEET: Saturday, Sept. 24

This Citizen Op took all able soldiers to the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. It was there we acquired our instructions:

Citizen 13 has a friend on the inside. We were to locate him, prove ourselves to be an ally of 13, and acquire the evidence that he's hidden for loyal soldiers.

Telegram: Spread the word!

Letter #1: Concerning the IDD
Letter #2: Also Concerning the IDD
Skywatch Patch

All of these items were accompanied by many strips of paper - shredded documents. Similar to Emerald Vanguard, we had to piece them all together to form a letter. As of now it's still a work in progress, but Citizens CHAINS4W and SlightlyChilled have done exemplary work at it thus far. Here's the progress:

CHAINS4W:
Mystery Document #1
Mystery Document #2

SlightlyChilled:
Pieces of both

Great work to you both; anyone else out there with shreds that you don't think anybody else has, please share them!

Once again, the combined collaboration of the Citizen Soldiers prevails - thank you, all.

Discuss the contents in the appropriate thread, please!

It appears that all of the Citizens have neglected to update this extremely important bulletin. What a shame. Looks like there's a bit of catching up to do. I'm begging anybody to help us in at least bringing everyone up to speed, even if it has to be the quick and dirty way.

To anyone reading, I predict that the next few posts may not go into incredible detail. We have nearly 2 months missing, and that needs to be fixed!
Below is what I think most of us would deem to be very important:

Events of October (Chronological Order):

- Following the 3 big operations from our very own Citizen 13 (detailed reports can be found above), Skywatch organized a Training Program in Houston, TX. Here is a pretty detailed summary, courtesy of the organization.

- A good deal of missing persons cases, conspiracy theories, and the like surfaced in early October, but as of now none of them have really led us to anything concrete.

- Spywatch and 13 made contact with Citizens again. Around the middle of the month, tensions ran high as the organization informed us of a possible security breach. Following these initial reports, the conspiracy floodgates opened wide...

- After a string of unfortunate mishaps (key witness disappearances, infiltration, etc.), Citizen One made the conclusion that Skywatch's traitor must be working from the inside. Following this eye-opening bulletin post, Citizens began to question the direction in which Skywatch was taking their investigation.

-October ended with a sour turn of events. Citizen 13 had been placed under suspension, directly following his vital contributions of evidence. Needless to say, it raised a lot of eyebrows. This, however, only marked the beginning for what would become a twisted web of confusion and deceit.

If you desire more details, citizenskywatch.com offers archives as always. It's your best bet for catching up, as of now.

Anyone willing to help, this bulletin needs you now more than ever.
More to come, for the month of November...

[rowan72]

I've been keeping my own journal of events ever since I was in the I.D.D. Unfortunately, events have conspired to keep me away from Citizen Skywatch until very recently. I've been attempting to catch my journal up ever since, and while I was hoping to have it done before the Thanksgiving holidays, it has not turned out that way. However, as I probably have about 85% of it completed, I'm willing to share it with you - provided you overlook the messiness, disorganization, and out of place conclusions that I've drawn up at the moment. I promise when it's up-to-date, it will be more coherent and the third page will not be in the state of disarray that it is in now. (I've had some issues trying to sync up information between the incoming intelligence with the bulletin board, recruitment center and teletype feed. Not always easy to track down a timeline several months afterwards.)

Anyway, my journal is located at http://wonderweasels.org/hermes/guide2.html Hopefully it will be of use to new recruits who want a more in-depth walkthrough after cutting their teeth on this thread.
