I am unable to view the pages these tinyurl's point to (I keep getting some message about intranet settings) - can someone post a screen shot of the Greek letters?
Thanks.

Good job sting, and thanks impulse.
I think the Roman alphabet equivalent would be:
MfZsZDlu

Thought it might be base64, comes out as '1öld9n' (including that umlaut). I tried '1old9n' as a tinyurl but came up empty. '1ld9n' redirects to a google search for "baby name generator".

After trying about a dozen possibilities for that second letter, finally:
MjZsZDlu -> base64 to ascii -> 26ld9n

May I say, Kris, whoever decided that 'phi' should go under the key for 'j' in that Symbol font keymap was just wrong. Check out the uppercase. Weird symbol. And check out what's under the key for f. That's phi too. Ok sorry for the off-topicness.

Well it seems everyone's asleep. I'll keep plowing through on my own:
That's a screenshot of Oxford's Department of Biochemistry research page (with some letters marked out):

The marked out letters come out as yt5r66

Hard to read text from the video there:
i didn't optionD her
but you knew that, didn't you
she's safe for now
says her father knew Drew Avery
from med school, oxford
says he died last month
car accident
says she doesn't know any Kate M.
Kris, ROOT's gonna be upset if they find this. I'm guessing you're sending this info to some third party.

So did the quotation "All your base are belong to us" mean that every type of coding was used somewhere in this puzzle path?
(base 64, binary, ascii, even Greek)
(not sure off hand whether hex coding was used)

Does the silent bump (and other deleted posts) mean there is something we missed in this video ... or that the solution here might apply to help us with the music code in londonfiles_012?
