September 2018

The beginning of September saw the Discord still working on the snapchat task game with happy_drip. A few Discord members were able to have small conversations with Happy Drip during this time and a few interesting bits of information were gathered. Zachary likes to draw, and likes animals (prompting the Discord members to send photos of their pets to the happy_drip account for Zachary to draw). Later those drawings popped up on the Zachary's Zoo tumblr. They were also used against the Discord to make people on Youtube think members 'abused their pets'.

The 13th of September saw the conclusion of Task 3. happy_drip's message to those that completed the task contained information that members would soon find out the 'true purpose with all this'. It was also confirmed that the first 3 tasks were only give to filter out the 'bad drips'. happy_drip told members that Zachary often liked to draw pictures of himself and happy_drip at places he would like to travel.

It seems that finally the red grid of letters could have been solved this day. By using the 'concerned citizen' Zodiac decoder. It contained the messages "IKNOWWHERESHEIS" and "SHESINTHEFLOOR"

18th of September happy_drip stated that Zachary liked the Beatles, and had an old video of him singing along to Yellow Submarine. Could this be a nod to one of Ash Vlogs early unlisted videos?

happy_drip sent a video to 'friends of Zachary' A video of a child's drawing of two people, and crying in the background.

20th September  A Discord member was sent an email from IKWSI which stated "i don't steal. i give tasks. ash never finished her last vlog. https://soundcloud.com/user-577277918/tfadc/s-kgMo0 you'll be chewing soon enough."

The title of the track is t@fadc* and the description is : H=@H2=DO[DF;OEH694OEV?@5p. These are both ROT47 backwards. The title translates to rsu2o and the description - Don't chew, just swallow.

22nd September The album cover images for the sup_jordz album on Stingray bandcamp had been updated.

This code translates to "Thanks for the coin Danny" with an a1z26 cipher.

25th September Ash Vlogs uploaded a new instagram photo with a description 🙂 uggcf://gvalhey.pbz/l8gexwqa 🙃

The letters in the description lead to tiny url/y8trkjdn  A protected text account called 'not paranoid' the password for this is 'nicetomeetyou'The text in the image decodes using a monoalphabetic cipher and leads to: 0.01% A recorded phone conversation between Ash and Markus. He tells Ash that he thinks someone is filming him on the tram. He thinks there is a 99.9% chance it's nothing, Ash tells him that she knows she has been paranoid lately and suggests he call the police. He doesn't think it's that serious. Ash asks him to message her when he gets home. The cover image with this audio shows three people walking on the tram platform, two males and a female.

Ash Vlogs uploaded a Youtube video Face Reveal. Where we get to see someone is filming Markus from multiple angles on the tram. The audio over the footage is a phone call to 000 emergency line. A man can be heard quite concerned that he witnessed a man being stabbed on the tram near the entertainment centre, he thinks he might be dying and they need an ambulance there real quick. He states that after stabbing him the attackers left him in a pool of blood. With captions enabled on the video you can see drip speak code  - nFVbW9Od,$CtWb!IYSGMH8TQxXJ^q@0]uq1MRYK?Ew&;(J@;Y%Z,\0$N(G7%TzC>xfc#A,{)!21wt+VpiHM)8t_YJ!/LIs:LxOZ48If Translated to "everyone will see this".  &&!RkZ>(w/#Vc8Q/$?{C3-b"WS{A|:8{>oE>W?wzvqmTzz5+48Q+9x Translated to "we'll make sure".

An unlisted video was in the description oBIB)v12B2PYdj;kyM&|wGQv:a'8^V$/ ​​​​​​​  The title is drip speak code and translates to "hello markus" This unlisted video description has drip speak code d&.vz7!('/9&2_*: repeated 8 times, which translates to "please." It shows Markus in a dark room with walls covered in the IKWSI symbol He has a hessian sack covering his head. He appears to be wearing a green hospital gown and can be seen to be visibly distressed and breathing heavily as another man enters the room armed with a gun pointing it at his head. Markus can be heard crying and saying please. The screen turns to red as you can hear Markus screaming. The captions on the video start to show colour codes. Drip speak code was also seen FpaudP0R\`qm"U,Lqk%T%Rv3pTg6S"9Q+{m1bhFb>8ma3U}+EA-PbttC|=(A4qwy,%a8P#Dw|?;\'%[ybbJc!:LVIHLE(eje]9`[}X This translates to "fuck youtube. go find the uncensored video."

The captions for this video were able to be used with the coloured letters on the Instagram photo and it leads to how to never finish your vlog and get yourself killed. A Youtube video of Ash on her bed telling a story of "The extraordinary adventures of Ash and Bad boi, the little drive that could" She talks about how she received the creepy package in the mail with a hard drive. (It appears that this video was filmed prior to c2f.exe) We see Alice arriving with a computer. We get to see a little musical montage of Ash and Alice taking the hard drive out in public, now with a drawn on smily face before the video strangely cuts to glitched footage. The captions read " poor ash, no one cared about you, or your videos, and they still don't. they just want to see a dead girl. time to give them what they want." The description of the video features more drip speak code jU8z4JgQ^s4, no translation for this has been found. There is a hidden tag on the video leading to tiny url/y7vllrez. This leads to a google drive file, with a line of drip speak code. gDNRrB{]:ROcu*j5rNw ZJOqOEfpyIa`iKZGV:oSGcM+j)e="4H^(4>zm9I@+A*ED"o[9xd7 This translates to https://ibb.co/g6rve9

There is a link in the description to a Streamable video called "a friendly conversation" Where we can see Markus on the tram being approached by the filmer. The footage has visual and audio glitches. Markus looks afraid and appears to hand over his mobile phone to the person filming. As the video progresses Markus looks more and more uncomfortable with the situation. As the tram pulls to a stop at the station, Markus looks around to leave as the filmer takes out a knife and stabs him in the stomach and makes a run from the tram. The description of the Streamable video is drip speak code )$Iu?inx9@; hnS2XQh|[t[[V#j+Hwr4qt%=u and this decodes to "watch closely"

A new Stingray track was uploaded: I will rot in hell The cover image has this code overlayed WFJ@66E>@E64:?G Using Rot47 backwards. it decodes to uyoeetmotecinv which reversed is vnicetomeetyou

happy_drip sent a member of the discord a message 'clothes tag' (this relates to the shirt found at the whicker road site inside the child's bag. The clothes tag has K_F written on it.

September 28th saw the events from The Cassette Tape occurring which then led on to Finding C2f.exe
