The "Vic Incident"

Leads that wound up being lost causes, having nothing to do with the ARG. Also, for threads discussing what turned out to be hoaxes.

The "Vic Incident"

Unread post by Coweh »

In a strange turn, Gamertag FNC013575663331 has posted a phone number. Upon calling it, one hears the voice of Vic from Red vs. Blue. I did this, and left a message: "Hello, Vic. I was wondering if you could tell me about Adjutant Reflex... Email me at [my email]. Thanks."

Thoughts?

I didn't manage to get a recording, no (I'm on a landline phone), but you can go to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FPNXG8ZP to hear the audio of the answering machine. Hmm.... And the number happens to be 6166342000. But now the Adjutant Reflex GT shows 6166342###...

EDIT: Wow, I'm too slow.

Hmm yes, it is weird. The recording of the message can be found in this post: http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/hal ... ead=810082

(Just don't post there about it)

I listened to it just once, but I notice a few interesting things:

#1) Ya, sounds exactly like Vic, even his "Leave a message after the yo" or something like that

#2) I'm not exactly sure how American phone services work, but was that women's voice for the message pre-recorded, and are the options like "Press # for Delivery Options" a normal occurance when leaving a message, if not...I think someone should press # (pound)....

#3) I couldn't make out the very beggining could either KLind, or someone else who called clarify what was said?

It sounds like it's a voicemail for a cell phone.
It isn't Verizon, but it might be AT&T.

Could someone re host the audio, or D/L it and send to me via "el_mileo@hotmail.com" As i cant access it.

Still, i agree, someone should try the hash.

It's not AT&T.

Can anyone understand it all enough to write a transcript of what it says?

All I can make out is "leave a message after the tone".

I went through the message and asked it to verify its identity.

Hit the # and got the standard options of how to mark the message "urgent", "confidential", "urgent and confidential".

EDIT: 616 Area code is used for Western Michigan, specifically: Holland, Grand Haven, Greenville, Grand Rapids, Ionia. Any significance?
