    I'd say I need piano lessons again, but I've already won a code :p So the alphabet is a red herring? Seems odd, this one's definitely tricky. I got one of the easy ones. I'll see what I can do with the symbols.

    I recorded the audio and played with it in Sound Forge but I haven't made out all the dialog.

    The end sounds like "'til we know what's (or "its") gonna fix it"

    but I dunno...hard to say. It repeats 3 times. Not sure what more I can offer, hope some of this helps. At least we know the flashing alphabet was basically a red herring, as Kamazar said.

    Or was it....? :eek:

    Okay I've gone off the deep end. I cut out all the characters from the Trep alphabet and am trying to arrange them in Photoshop to spell out something, like a puzzle, but I think I'm wasting my time.

    edit: I still think a big clue is in the low pitched voice we hear while the letters are flashing on the screen. I just can't make it out. Can anyone else play with that?

    I've given it a shot but I can't come up with anything else.

    So far we have:

    - A trepidoid alphabet

    - flashing letters that spell out "trepidoids.forward/"

    - a series of tones in D major. (GEAF#BBAF#F#C#DBAEEAFBEC#GA)

    - There is a voice talking beneath the tones but I can't understand it...seems to repeat 3 times. The end sounds like "'til we know what's (or "its") gonna fix it" but this could be far from correct

    ???????? :confused:

    We need a new mind. Someone with fresh eyes that can try out tricks we haven't all used before.

    Uhh you forgot what I said.

    There's a green static image between each red symbol flash. You can see a number, and a symbol of their alphabet next to each other in the green static. Look carefully.

    I thought everyone already knew what I was talking about the first time x.x

    I already mentioned it...I asked if someone could match up the numbers from that green screen/trepidoid alphabet to the numbers from the tonal notes

    I'm being extremely lazy on this one. Especially considering I don't have my laptop with all my clue-solving tech on it. I'll help you with the next one ;)

    Perhaps the symbols at the beginning form a picture or something?

    Edit: The first series of numbers and letters are related to the music scales. I tried transposing to another key, but that didn't work.

    Edit: Here is the translated "green" text as it appears in the video. Note that the 1 and 2 both use the same symbol for "G". That's a clue we're on the right track, as someone later pointed out that all the codes begin with "GG".

    Edit: The last number 8... I counted wrong, it should be a "w" instead of a "v". My bad. The actual series of letters is... "GGAZYPOWFHERVQUIKBLST".

    Nice deciphering, but it looks like gibberish =/

    Okay. Sorry for that. I translated the green letters, and re-ordered them according to the numbers shown in the green...

    It spells... GGAZYPOVFHERVQUIKBLST

    GG AZY PO V F HER V QUIK BLST

    HER A QUICK BLAST

    POWERFUL QUICK BLAST

    POWER A QUICK BLAST

    I don't know... it's trepidoids.com/GG (something)

    Sorry, just started "playing". My bad. The two G's were confusing me, since it was the ONLY two numbers which repeated the same symbol.
