email hint
We got a major hint from Cole Johnson:
Phase 1 Recruits,
Congratulations to those of you who have solved the Division challenge, and good luck to those of you still working on it.
We currently have an open investigation that we need some help with. There are some old notes left by an Aeternus researcher that we are trying to decipher to discover whether they were able to take measurements and find a location codenamed 'Eta'. Any discoveries you make would be useful, and might help us dig up other documents that might be of use. The information we've gathered so far is available in the database.
As a reminder, each recruit may submit *a* question for Alexander to retnec.sunretea|qaf#retnec.sunretea|qaf (Founder Asked Questions) which will be answered on our internal site. The questions so far have been answered are available on the database.
Finally as an aid for the Phase challenge, once you've used the divisions to sort out things, focus on laying out the four answers and see if anything comes down out of it. You could also put together the record IDs and see if you find any records.
Additionally, the emails led to the ETA puzzle.
