[edit] Berlin/Madrid Bluetooth QR

• One individual was able to obtain a .3gp video from the Madrid location which contained a partial QR image. Reportedly this video was obtained through a bluetooth file transfer.
• Another individual later received an email after the drop from Berlin, which contained similar QR pieces. This video may have been meant for bluetooth transmission but was emailed at a later time due to technical issues.
• When assembled the QR code decodes to: "4,N0M4D5,C1U3:"
• The result appears to be a 'leet speak' form of "A NOMADS CLUE".
• This is an unusual result as it does not fit the same format as previous codes. It might be that this is not an 'Access Point'.

[edit] Jesse Philips Enterprise Poster [Not ARG related?]

• A Star Trek poster by artist Jesse Philips has featured heavily in several cobrasnake Star Trek parties.

• It is unknown if this QR code is related to this Star Trek ARG or simply to promoting Star Trek in general.

• UPDATE: It appears that Anthony of TrekMovie.com has a large version of the poster and was able to supply a decodable version of the QR. The result is: http://startreknokia.12dld.mobi/
• Although this is a blank website, the nature of the QR code and the domain name in the result appears to suggest this website is not ARG related.
