This translates to binary:

Which translates to ASCII:
Seven down, twelve to go.

I sent him a coded message to test him out-of-game (if the account is run by the PM, he should figure it out almost instantly; if it's not, it might pose a bit of trouble), and to ask for more information about the vials in-game. I'll keep you guys posted if I get any replies.
(PM me if you want to see the coded message; I'd prefer not to post it publically just yet).

Update: Jaynineteen has read the message (no reply yet, though).

I saw he logged on. I hope he replied to someone. I HATE waiting lol. I'm impatient I know it's my fault.

He just updated his profile - now it says:
" 'The patient man shows much good sense, but the quick-tempered man displays folly at its height.' "
And he replied:
"las zzxhfdmlbce kgn gvqc pwcx tx tfdlaqfyagu rf las rbhkcgdathv fafs fz s gsvp-lh-yeao uojuk.
OKIKO
3(+0) 5(+2) 5(+1) 5(+4) 6(-0)"

FYI that is a Bible verse -- Proverbs 14:29.

Decoding his response:
OKIKO ---> Octal:
117 113 111 113 117
Octal ---> DNA:
AAGAACAAAAACAAG
DNA ---> Protein:
Lysine
Asparagine
Lysine
Asparagine
Lysine
Protein ---> Text (using his shifts):
STOVE
Using Stove as a Vigenere key, the message decodes to:
"the evforiitioj gou samk wiht be fkzthckuing wb the wxprolziata bime kv a neal-to-kjww baoqs. "
I infer this to mean: "The information you seek will be forthcoming at the appropriate time on a need-to-know basis."
Obviously, some of the letters are missing. Anyone have any ideas on how this came about? My mistake? A new kind of cipher shift?
Note: This message is coded in the same manner as the message that I sent him (besides decoding into half-gibberish at the end).
EDIT: Using "storm" as a key gives the appropriate message. Double-checking my work...
EDIT #2: Looks to me like it's his mistake, but I hope that someone will double-check me on that.

Yeah I did the same thing independently and i still got "STOVE" instead of "STORM." Man this is just like the old days...

Well isn't he the sneaky fellow.
Yay! I'm so excited! J19 is back
Edit: I have a question. Why would he change his youtube account?

did have a problem getting his own codes right.

My theories by me:
a) TJ19 is going to announce that he discovered we were compromised, he's had to go into hiding, new channels of communication are being set up, etc.
b) It's not really the same TJ19.
If we wanted to, we could try testing to see if it's the same chap, by using a shared secret (e.g. if we can find a message one of us sent to him that didn't go to the board) and use it as a passphrase for an encrypted message. Of course, he might reply something like "The old accounts have been compromised, I can't safely access them," or some such plausible ducking-the-subject.

I don't think J19 is the same as travelerj19. the profile info is different, and j19 seems to have a different out look on what walter is doing now.
I'm glad there is some action going on!!

The vial is open and the camera looks a little... blurry!

The shoddy camera work and lack of sound makes me kind of wary of a gamejack. The vial looks right, though (although these vials are very common in labs).
Interesting note: 00418 is a tag; this fits with the fact (noticed by deagol) that "storm" and "stove" are +4 and +18 letters shifted in the fourth and fifth letter positions, respectively. Did anyone mention this on the forum previously?
