Great observation, Josh.

I want to thank all of you who work so hard on deciphoring these codes and images. This is not my strong area, although I do have some of my own. I love reading your posts, although sometimes I can't follow where you're going with some of it. However, the answers are important to me, and since I don't have the knowledge of computer languages, have never done math above the geometry level, etc, I benefit from what you all do. I'm so glad you enjoy it, it makes it nice for you all and the rest of us inferior beings. :lol:

EDIT: eliminate some redundancy

Since people are finding what appears to be micro-writing in the images, I enlarged them and posted them so that people who do not have photoshop or a similar program can take a look for themselves:

Other than enlarging them I have not altered them in any way. No contrast or level changes. These are just the pure raw images enlarged.

Warning: Because the images are very large, they will take time to load.

sweetie55, good work on those images. They make the microwriting very easy to read.

What you are seeing as a 5 or a 2 looks to me as if it might be the glyph that is used to depict the astrological sign of Capricorn.

i usually just watch all this stuff from afar....but after noticing this i made an account just to post.

i realized just now that when text messaging, it is possible to use greek letters. for example, by pressing 7 on my cell phone six times, i can put in sigma. maybe matching up the greek alphabet letters with the numbers they correspond with on cell phones will lead to something else?

this is probably so dumb and will lead to nothing, but i figured i'd post it anyway. i don't even know if the symbols are for the same number on every type of cell phone. it could be different.

with my phone:

O= 6
T= 8
Θ= 4
M= 6
Λ= 5
Σ= 7
Θ= 4 again
Π= 7

i think luminous is right, looks ALOT like the caapricorn sign, but what does that mean? a month? numbers found between dec. 22 and jan. 19? a ram? a mermaid? a fish?

im confuzzed... ](*,)

Apparently in some renderings (like the one posted by Luminous) the sign of Capricorn also looks like a 7 and a 6 put together. And a 76 was identified in the image earlier... Dammit, now you guys have got even me buying into this "hidden image/message" idea.

there have been references to stars throughout the series, so this doesn't seem too far fetched.

Good thinking Dothedramatic - even if it doesn't lead anywhere!

And welcome to non-lurker status :)

I just started trying to solve this so I'm sorry if I sound stupid, but I was wondering if anyone knew what Tach meant by "So that's one more 12" in her note that came with these images? Has 12 been a relevant before in these puzzles or something?

I don't know if this was mentioned...but that eight that people seems to be seeing also resembles the symbol on the side of the boxes that the epogen came in.

Also, the capricorn symbol is also commonly known as a 7 and a 6 together, hence the 76 at the bottom of the pictures

(i haven't been through the thread yet, so my apolgies if this has been mentioned)

The 76/Capricorn symbol is what's standing out the most to me right now. Who knows what the heck that would have to do with anything, but I hope it leads somewhere. Later on today I'll mess around with the images some more to see if there's anything else that strikes me as odd.

Hi sweetie55, I guess my only problem with that image is that, well, I'm guessing you flipped amalgamation and superimposed it over ligatures... is that it? Well I can imagine a whole bunch of markings would show up that weren't there. If you slide the overlaid image a bit, I bet you'd get different markins, so I think this is just noise.

This is the image I'm referring to:
