Come on internet geeks figure this thing out. If you internet nerds can't figure out stuff like this then you are completely worthless.

How do you post stuff on these forums? Well someone placed the attachment on the facebook group. I am sure that there are more than 4 people that have been looking into it, so go to the facebook group and lets organize this. Hopefully by having all available information in one place can we figure out where it leads.

Does this have any significance to anyone?

"
History, prepare yourself
Over the years
I have laid my plans
for the last of my evil schemes
Working everything out

Someday I will be king
and have people bow before me
It will be a glorious scene

Now, my ambition burns
and I have finished
sharpening my teeth"

The cracked code from the original enigma cypher in the first e-mail leads you to an Aggie crypto-zoologist website.

quote:
Cryptozoology (from Greek: κρυπτός, kryptós, "hidden"; ζῷον, zôon, "animal"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge" or "study" – c.f. zoology) is the search for animals believed to exist, but for which conclusive evidence is missing. The field also includes the search for known animals believed to be extinct. We are Aggie Crypto Zoologists that look out and defend unknown and endangered species here in Aggieland (Bryan/College station).

I saw that too. Seems like a lot of trouble for some crappy club, and it still doesn't explain the Japanese e-mail.

Plus, if it was a real club, you'd think they'd give you a link to join or something for figuring out their little puzzle.

I found this interesting:

quote:
We have finally found someone that will finance our annual field trip. A German corporation has given us a grant of 10,000 USD for 24 of our members to head to Sumatra in search of new species. This is in exchange of us taking part of a research study for a so called project Chimera. So we will head out in our winter break to beutiful Borneo wish us luck!.


Next to it is a symbol with a cross and swords. The inside of the symbol is the flower that apparently appeared on the fliers.
