Before

before is the ninth youtube video uploaded to Signal And Noise, and the first to be made public. It is two seconds long, and shows a grainy image of a cage in a dark room, which is seen more clearly in the eighth video, already. The messages in this video bear the cipher key "conscioushumansouls" (Eric's key). The video's audio displayed a spectrogram code leading to the "already" video, and the video description includes messages from Eric/CHS.
