How's that different from what enigma, et al., are working on? I'm perplexed.

instead of anagramming each chunk by itself individually, perhaps something may come from taking them all as parts of a whole.

just trying to clarify the theory.

*delete* Unnecessary.

Gotcha. Yep, that's how Enigma was getting the "epogen etc etc" sequences.

Took other screencaps, maybe these will help better?

lorien, in the summary, you have the same screencap for UR #1 and UR #2. UR #1 is QUERAS, and UR #2 is OIAMSAD

And OIAMSAD anagrams to ADIOS MA.

Adios,

This definitely has something to do with a Heinz Square...

what times does each of the codes exactly pop up? Maybe we can use those numbers and correspond them to a Heinz Square

I'm not exactly sure how they work...so somebody look further into this please

Shifty, those screencaps are great!

For UL #1, I see LAD FINE, where you see BAD FINE. Check this out:

The braille B has two dots, but what I'm trying to show with the red lines is that there is some pretty clear black in the bottom row, which is leaning me toward it being an L. What do you think?

Excellent!

Shifty, I took your new screencaps and worked on the contrast. They're on summary.

MrPackage, Thanks for catching that! Correction made.

MIDAS AO (better not be an anarchy online reference. hehehe
Midas the king or something. AO = Alpha Omega. Eh, I'm just brainstorming.

Adios Ma is probably right.

That's what made me change my mind earlier. The length of what I thought to be a B was too much.

Well, I think I'll roll with LAD FINE on this one, with a noted star (*) next to that F, which I think could possibly be a P. I had a reason, and it was a good reason when I thought of it, but I'm hungry and so forgot. I'm going to eat and hopefully will be able to come back with some semblance of coherence.

I'm playing with ways to look at the words as a collective message.

Hard life and Heinz Square Mile, Stephen RIP, Adios Ma.

Hard lad fine, Heinz Square Mile, Stephen RIP, Adios Ma.

Hard life and Heinz Square Mile, Stephen RIP, O I am Sad.

---

Thoughts:

"lad fine" could refer to Daniel being fine.

"OIAMSAD" just seems like it doesn't need to be anagrammed.

"Adios Ma" could easily be referring to Bree's mother.

I don't think Oppy likes us to get too very complicated with these things. Therefore - what are the simplest solutions here?

---

Ah! "Hard" comes right after the intro to this puzzle. Maybe a warning, that this is hard?

Hard: Lad Fine, Heinz Square Mile, Stephen RIP, O I am sad.

---

Hard: Lad fine, Heinz, Square Mile, Stephen RIP, O I am sad.

---

What about a letter format?

"Hard:

Lad fine. Heinz. Square Mile. Stephen RIP.

Adios,

- Ma."

Hmm. Has there been any reason to argue against Oppy being Bree's Pretend Mom? I know it's been discussed before. Any evidence against?

This will not be easy to solve...

I am wondering... Lad is the user that has already done a drop or two.... Are we sure that is an anogram!?

The first 10 letters of the alphabet are also numbers 0-9, right?

So couldn't these also be numbers+letters... l33t maybe? (i don't really get l33t very well) or tinyurls?
