[edit] Khaner's Story
(Solved)
- Tuesday August 12 - After Khaner received the third injection, his results became available.
- In his dossier was placed the lab results of his injection.
- Khaner is labeled as "P.A. SUBJECT #475247UD" with "PEL# nv92374a"
- Attempting to GET file NV92374A returns a folder list of additional document numbers:
Name: Khaner, Glenn Service No. 475247ud PEL: nv92374a1 nv92374a2 nv92374a3
- Subsequently, GETing each of those files leads to a number of image documents
NV92374A1 |
NV92374A2 |
NV92374A3 |
- The second document, Khaner's security access to Ice Station Igloo contains his Security clearance code: KHGSRPA44397.
- This photo shows no code, but is a part of another series of photos, including KHGSRPA44398, KHGSRPA44399
KHGSRPA44397 |
KHGSRPA44398 |
KHGSRPA44399 |
- This is a dead end. But Third document above, NV92374A3 contains a reference code: LL272198LSA.
- This is primary puzzle for the week.
- Three cities are listed, with degree angles and distances, in order to triangulate the source of a weak Russian morse code signal.
Ipswich 79.5deg 1900 miles Darwin 318.3deg 6700 miles Anchorage 349.9deg 4815 miles
- Locating the cities, align North as 0 degrees, and approximate an angle of departure.
- Traversing a round map is essential, as a flat map of the globe won't provide an accurate path.
- Google Earth allows for a spherical map (and is thus a tool of choice) - Google maps does not.
(solve process by thebruce)
- Using the path tool, with each city centered and north facing up, create a two point path following the approximate angle required until the distance is nearly matched.
- Once all three vectors have been mapped, move to the region where the lines are near intersecting (if they don't appear to converge, redo the vectors)
- Adjust the tips of the paths until they meet (or visually estimate their converging point)
- They should converge over Volgograd, Russia (see below)
- At the footer of the document is the phrase "Entered into LATLONDB"
- GET LATLONDB to run a small application that will 'listen in' on a specific geolocation. Required input is the latitude and longtidude:
DD-MM-H/DD-MM-H
- Entering the Google Earth location for Volgograd in the above form:
48-43-N/44-30-E
- Returns the result: VOL787833
- This file also has an associated document: AN952795LOG which is a list of additional log files: AN952795LOG0, AN952795LOG1, AN952795LOG2, AN952795LOG3, AN952795LOG4
- (AN952795LOG0 is a text log)
AN952795LOG1 |
AN952795LOG2 |
AN952795LOG3 |
AN952795LOG4 |
- Log #3 contains another associated document number: DNA548781PA
- This file also contains another associated doc #: AN94253577
- AN94253577 is a classified letter from Stanislaw Ivanovich Ozerov. This is the location of the next Document Control Number. In the upper right is the stamp:
