22317 1954 ytwx://pnuxvblv.cbo/5I14xiOD Encrypted file found and reformatted. Cipher in place.
This was found to be encoded with Vigenere, with a password of "radiance," revealing (http://pastebin.com/5E14giLV a pastebin link). The contents of this were found to also be encoded with Vigenere with the same key:
[CLASSIFIED] //Log-in credentials needed// //Username: HWells1// //Password: radiance// //Log-in successful// //Retrieving file…// Project Radiance: Previous studies of AETHER have shown that it is capable of manipulating matter. Hypothetically, it could be used to create a “door” to a different point in space. Subject: Mouse Status: Dead Cause: Lethal AETHER intensity Subject: Mouse Status: Dead Cause: Beheading via travelling through AETHER doorway Subject: Mouse Status: Alive Notes: Arm missing Subject: Mouse Status: Alive Notes: Visibly fine Subject: Dummy Status: Destroyed Cause: Burning Subject: Dummy Status: Intact Notes: Minor burns Subject: Dummy Status: Intact Notes: Visibly normal Subject: Wells, I. Status: Unknown Cause: Lethal AETHER intensity Notes: During testing, an unforeseen error came into play, resulting in an explosion killing 8 members of staff. One survivor has experienced psychological trauma from witnessing the aftermath, refusing to co-operate in present and upcoming projects in fear of an identical outcome. As such, his position has been suspended and treatment is pending. Until he can co-operate with Lumitech again, his future with the company is hanging by a thread. Until I. Wells is retrieved from [N/A] or a successful, non-lethal doorway is created, the project will be permanently shut sown. Additional notes: Since the experiment, H Wells has reported seeing an “angel”. Psychological evaluation is recommended.
VISUAL FEED
A (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_kasuQokBmsAkLT4iz613Q Youtube channel) was also found, which contains a single (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-g4r5MN9Gc video), titled "Visual Feed 1." There appears to be nothing but a black screen, and static in the background. In addition, when closed captions are turned on, more information is revealed:
TheConsole: [ERROR: File could not be read] TheConsole: [Transcribing event...] TheConsole: [Subject: Dr Harvey Wells] TheConsole: [Status: Grieving] TheConsole: [Cause: Experiment Fatality Case R-03] TheConsole: [Details: [RESTRICTED BY LUMITECH] TheConsole: [RADIANCE-1 is online]
As of March 22, the video has yet to be decoded.
