    Since I'm on mobile I can't load the images I got. They are pretty cool looking though. I'll post them in the war room and someone can upload them for me.

    just seen you guys killing brain cells was fun ....
    Solving puzzles isn't killing brain cells, it's working them out.  :p
    Burning all your bridges means that sooner or later you're alone on an island, bereft of allies or means to get anywhere.  Seek to build bridges in all things, treat even your opponents with respect.  Crush them only when there is no other recourse and they hinder your movement forward.

    Yeah man the braille thing was nothing i could get... I was also trying to brute force break the pdf file, while trying to figure out how he got other images from the code lol... I tried all kinds of QR but didn't meet requirements for legit code.

    not me, i was barking up the wrong tree there. I suggest Junren, he was close and helpful

    Thanks for the thought!  I don't think I would have solved it at all.  The braille angle was something I never would have guessed.  Though if you guys are inclined to give it to me, I would suggest splitting the reward with Mephist0 of SNAFU, since I was about to give up until his post led me on the right track. 

    I like your thinking.  I can't believe braille was what was holding us up. :/

    Well done. But you won the last time. Let someone else get it.
    I say go ahead and give it to him.  He totally solved it when everyone else was stumped.  After all, there wasn't a caveat that said you could not win if you won before, right?  He deserves it, I think.  :D

    Clearly not hard enough. Must go deeper!

    I'm giving the ship to Littlezipp, the clever bastard. I'm going to split the gold between Junren and Mephisto, for not only being super close, but being open and helpful about it.

    Next document drops on Monday, Australian time. I'm going to pick yet another timezone so we don't have any more overlap. LittleZipp, you're banned from entering :tongue:

    In the meantime, enjoy reading that document.

    Thanks!

    Well here goes...I copied the text into notepad to get one continuous string.

    iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABYAAAADCAIAAAAYzWhEAAAAMUlEQVQYV2MAgv///8NJCICzMaWAAKsgiI8J4FJwBWhcIICqgLLAAMIFAlxsdPD/PwAjoHGPciddOgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==

    Then went to http://www.base64-image.net/ which gave me a very small image like so...



    This translates to "humanisdead" from braille.

    Which leads to this:


    This, by the way, it the exact way I want people to submit their answers.

    Subject #1 had no more proceeding tests after the initial testing. They only had contact with the Blood Amber and nothing more.
    Subjects #2 and #6 also had no more proceeding tests. They were given contact without and with the used Zynthium catalyst.

    EDIT: Aaaaand plotline spoiled due to leak...

    Mobile players, like myself, cannot open these documents on mobile devices...

    I can open this on my phone, and it's ancient. PDF is a very popular format, there should be a way for every phone. Lxc can you give me 10,000 coins please?

    What a shame! I was working very sedated in same line as littlezipp because (I don´t know her/his case) I am almost blind and I know Braille but the Spanish practical we use in Costa Rica. (there are some difference like the Braille character for "ñ" is the same used in English for the particle "er"...

    Is horrible to try to work seeing an image so tiny specially if you are almost blind and your meds against cancer make you so "happy" so your mouse and/or keyboard falls from your hands to the floor while your head hit the desktop corner! --or your phone wakes up you with a "gentle" punch in your face! HAHAHAHA!

    Congratulations to littlezipp, Mephist= and Juren.. the faster rabbit get the best carrots!
