Texting you for help

This afternoon's new text message:

"Need ur help. Company agnts may b involvd."

Thanks to Mandi, madammina, Ashley, Stephen, and all else who reported this.

ETA 4/30: Thanks to Amy for reporting the new e-mail, with the subject "Help":
Things seem to be getting out of control. See here: hhttp://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/novels_display.shtml?novel=83. I really need your help. I thought I could do everything with Donna, but she might be in over her head. I found this character string 7-!$-9-*-19-@!-3

Any ideas?

ok so three e's are missing from the text and we have a character string 7-!$-9-*-19-@!-3

begorrah. Evs, you might want to give us extra help. Was Hana ever this frustrating? Is anything happening at 9th wonders?

I think that the number sequence is:

7-14-9-8-19-21-3

but what do we do with it now?

The letters that correspond with the numbers are GNIHSUC. I doubt it's something this simple but maybe the symbols denote uppercase (you have to press shift on the keyboard)and the numbers are lowercase? something like g-N-i-H-s-U-c? Also, note that the sequence alternates number-symbol-number. That's all i got

That spells CUSHING backwards.

In the painting, it looked like donna may have fallen to her death, maybe she needs something to cushion her fall? I know its stupid, but it just came to me xD

Laura said...

Seems unlikely, but there was mention of a number pad on the door to the records room that required a code. John, I believe you have something with the translation from symbols. I'll check out 9th Wonders.

Could it be a phone number? 714 is Californian area code isn't it?

Yes, it's a real number, but it's not NBC related. I just called it and bothered some guy. As soon as he said 'Hello' I knew that poor guy will probably get alot of weird calls soon.

Naruto said...

wow. u actually called?

Could Cushing refer to Harvey Cushing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Cushing)?

You know that could actually mean something. Considering that Chandra Suresh's theory is that all their abilities come from the brain, then maybe something in Cushing's work could be linked to Heroes. But I don't see how it can help Donna though...

Check out new graphics novel. A guy named Cushing a new agent.

Maybe in the future that Isaac painted, Cushing was to kill Donna but Devin intervened. Eh?
