I’m completely amazed. It took a little while, but a handful of you figured out how to access the information that Wheezer encoded into his last message to me. A reader named MrToasty sent me the following deciphered version, and just as I suspected, the implications of this message are pretty significant:
To be sure that this wasn’t a faked message, I asked MrToasty to explain how he decoded it, and he provided the following explanation:
It’s fairly easy to get rid of the overlying noise using [an open source program called] Audacity.
1. Take the stereo source and do a “Split Stereo Track” (found on the
dropdown menu next to the track title) which gives you two separate tracks.
2. Change each track to Mono (again on the dropdown).
3. Select one of the two tracks and select the menu item Effect->Invert.
4. Select both tracks and choose the menu item Project->Quick Mix.
5. If you play the resulting track, you’ll hear it’s backwards and very quiet. Select the menu item Effect->Reverse to reverse it.
6. Select the menu item Effect->Amplify as many times as needed to hear it.
I tried to do all of that myself, and couldn’t quite figure it out, but at least four other readers sent messages or comments that verified the translation, so I’m confident that it’s what Wheezer intended for me to hear.
So that’s that, then. We’ve got confirmation that Scott approved Stone’s plan, that the team of scientists have gathered in their hidden underground lab to combat a threat called “Andromeda,” and that the entire operation is being referred to as the “Wildfire Protocol.” The next step is to access the “Wildfire intranet,” where Wheezer said I’d find answers.
Now we just have to figure out where and how.
