    Just wanted to pop in to say that I also recived the second message...

    Something I found interesting: The emails refer to leaving Venezuela "before disaster strikes" and the coded message says " We have been warned and hell wil part skies again".

    I found a few news stories refering to an underground volcano near Venezuela that has heightened activity. Here's one: http://lainfo.es/en/2015/07/24/venezuela-on-alert-for-activity-volcano-island-of-granada/

    It's called the Kick 'em Jenny volcano. Maybe this eruption is what the email refers to? Near as I can tell it hasn't decreased activity. An eruption would cause a Tidal wave that would hit Venezuela.

    EDIT: Could also be the Galeras volcano. It's real big and was really active in 2010.

    The message has been decrypted, and reads:

    "You will be returning home. I bought tickets for us all and we will be travelling shortly. It’s very pleasant here in Venezuela but we were told to get to safety before the disaster strikes. We’ll be travelling by the sky and hopefully the flight shall go well. I hope that most of what we predicted is true so this won’t all be for nothing. Returning home will provide a welcome release from your busy lifestyle here. Heck, I’m sure you’re looking forward to relaxing once more."

    We now have "We have been warned the skies will part and release hell again." me and a few other agents sent an email to dispatch. We'll see soon enough if this is the full code.

    Got a message from dispatch:

    Agent Marfish,

    We have given this message to our intelligence analysts and Agent
    Azuro, their initial analysis is extremely disturbing. Based on their
    geographic location and the message uncovered, Azuro has reason to
    believe that the 5 individuals have knowledge of a predicted rift
    event [Angostura], though how they obtained this information is unknown.

    What is known however, is that this information is considered highly
    classified at the ULTRA level and any leaks to the general population
    could cause mass panic. We must begin offensive operations against the
    targets immediately. Operational resources are being arranged for the
    next phase of this mission. We will provide an update tomorrow morning
    (EST) with instructions on how to proceed.

    I see that one of the yellow roads is in Prague, where I live. If something related to my country is being solved while I'm in work, I'll be a sad panda :(

    Looks like I missed solving today's clues... I am definitely on board with the idea that this: "We have been warned the skies will part and release hell again." refers to a volcanic eruption.

    AGENT mbanshee,

    1. Action required:
    Analyze the intercepted encrypted message from a high value target. Determine the contents and relay to Dispatch ([email protected]).

    2. Background:
    On 01/07/16, field agent Azuro in Venezuela notified us of unusual financial activity from German-Venezuelan businessman. They withdrew all assets from the country and fled to Europe. Our surveillance systems intercepted encrypted communications. We are tasking the global agent network with breaking these coded messages.

    3. Recommendation:
    (a) Review the encrypted email from one of the target assets.
    (b) Break the code and relay the contents to Dispatch ([email protected]), inform of any hidden messages or unusual signatures.
    (c) For auxiliary support regarding archive specific tasks or investigation, relay relevant information to Agent Wheeler at [email protected]

    This creature, living underneath houses, feeds on the saliva of the inhabitants til they dehydrate.

    The only way to kill it is to burn the egg when it hatches, or burn down the house.

    Highlighted routes on the map:
    E67, 8 (near Prague)
    60, 1 (east of Mainz)
    E25 (near Liege)
    30, 46 (near Cologne)

    I think this should all be correct.

    Has anyone found anything that links them? If indeed it does......

    AGENT JantsoP,

    1. Action required:
    Incorporate asset alert symbol into a poster that will not raise suspicions in an outside environment, include point of contact for our specialists.

    2. Background:
    On 01/07/16, our SIGINT team intercepted a series of encrypted messages from 5 high value targets fleeing Venezuela. The contents of the messages related to an upcoming disaster in Caracas. At this time, it is unclear how these assets learned of the predicted event [Angostura]. This information is considered highly classified at the ULTRA level, the targets must be eliminated to ensure absolute secrecy, information leaks are likely to cause mass panic in the population.


    3. Updates:
    We have several specialist deep cover agents in Europe that can be used to contain the 5 high value targets and we must alert them to the ongoing mission. The specialists are trained to constantly scan for a series of alert symbols in their environment (on ads, posters and signs). We need to disseminate these alert symbols in Europe and make contact with our specialist agents.

    4. Alert Symbol:
    [​IMG]

    4. Recommendation:

    (a) Incorporate the symbol into a poster that will not raise suspicions in an outside environment. The symbol must be sufficiently hidden within the poster, but still visible to our specialist agents.
    (b) Include a point of contact (e.g. email address) inside the poster so our specialist agents can communicate directly. Ensure that contact information cannot be linked back to the agency.
    (c) Agents whose area of operations is Europe should print out their poster, place it in areas that contain other similar posters and send photo confirmation to Dispatch ([email protected]). If agents are outside of Europe, they should relay the poster to their contacts in Europe for dissemination or send the digital files to Dispatch directly.

    I can't access my computer right now but I think that image would look good as a tattoo. Maybe we can put it on a poster advertising a tattoo place?
