Message from Sean Dowling
Sean Dowling from Oceanic Airlines left a voice message for Sam:
| “ |
Yeah Sam, it's Sean Dowling here, Oceanic Air Employee Relations. I've got a bit of bad news, um as a result of your dismissal, your loyalty flyer points with Oceanic have been revoked in line with company policy. I'll confirm this in a letter, but I wanted to let you know straight away just in case you thought you could still use them. Give us a call if you've got any questions. | ” |

There is a website on Sam's browser called answermyquestions.org with the url http://www.answermyquestions.org/maxwell.html. He has searched for the term "Maxwell" and there were five results returned.

James Clerk Maxwell
The most interesting hit is a James Clerk Maxwell. The blurb next to his search result references magnetism. The wikipedia article on Maxwell mentions that he did much research on electromagnetism, some of which led from the creation of the Faraday Effect.

Email from Sam to Tracey, subject: "Equipment Meltdown"

Tracey, Wanted to get your opinion on something. I saw a strange thing tonight when I visited the Bridge - all the instrument panels were flickering and it looked like it was in meltdown. Every instrument seemed to be malfunctioning. Then all of a sudden it just stopped and everything went back to normal. Freaky, huh? What do you think could have caused it? Sam | ” |

Email from Tracey to Sam, subject: "Equipment Meltdown"

Sam These sorts of things are not uncommon. It was probably just caused by lightning or a temporary failure inside the electrical system. Sometimes electromagnetic energy can also cause it but that's unusual - it has to be a very strong wave. You sure you're ok? It sounds like you need a holiday. Make sure you take some time off as soon as you can. I used these guys when I went to Denpasar last year - they're tops! www.baliholidayfun.com Tracey | ” |

Visiting the URL that Tracey mentions in her email leads to a webpage appearing to be that of a travel agency, but is simply an image with no navigational functionality hosted on the Find815.com servers. The webpage displays an email address for information, baliholidayfun@gmail.com. Sending an email to this address results in an auto-reply message from a "Mr Ole" which contains scrambled text.
The automated reply divided into three sections:

Hidden in the encoded text are nine sections of a web address contained between symbols ¿ and \. Putting these together reveals the full address http://www.find815.com/steg/stegosaurus.png, which contains a picture of a life-size replica of a stegosaurus, a dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period.
- "Amuses Mr Ole" can be rearranged into "Samuel Morse" which proved to be a clue referring to Morse code.
