Well, ASCII-text is just hex mapped to letters, so what you’re essentially saying is that the codes are not text. That’s pretty much the conclusion I reached. It’s either encoded/encrypted text, or it is other data. Trouble is, if it’s encrypted text, I can’t find any pointers to what it was encrypted with. I was hoping that the two riddles gave a hint to that, but Hellas and Tharsis do in fact seem to match the riddles nicely, but are not terms associated with anything in cryptology. So either hellas and tharsis are the wrong conclusions, or they relate to the codes in a less obvious way, or not at all…
If you convert the ASCII strings to their decimal values, you get this sort of thing:
050 116 089 055 109 099 080 115 050 065 056 090 057 068 097 114 109 065 110 110 114 075 084 113 112 104 052 103 043 051 101 079 105 115 071 116 066 103 051 077 076 071 073 061
It’s a spread of numbers in the range 50 - 116, i.e. 66 possible values. To represent the alphabet in both upper and lower case requires 52 values. Add numbers from 0 - 9 gives you 62. Throw in a few more for punctuation, and I think we have an encrypted cypher.

This is what I tried so far … led me nowhere yet though, but might be useful or prevent others trying

Just throwing random thoughts out there that probably won’t lead anywhere:
Hellas is another name for greece, Tharsis is derived from the ancient city of Tarsus (or Tarshish).
Archedemus of Tarsus is an early greek philosopher about whom not much is known, but two of his works, “On the voice” and “On elements” are mentioned by later philosophers, and Plutarch credits him with founding a school of stoic philosophy in babylon.
Status has updated with likely a hint?

To me the riddle reffers to Phobos, that orbits Mars every 7.x hours… Which name means Panic. And Saturn, the lowest of density, with its hexagonal storm at the pole, it’s moon Titan, one of 62, explore by Cassini probe…

Yes, but the 2GQbD5X is new
I know that, hence the post 
Hmmm …

Uplink… So what we’re looking for is probably the password for the cellphones that were sent out?
I’m at movile, now, as mere spectator here… Please do keep us informed!
I do have my uplink app installed, though…

That product seems to have been around for a while though, judging by the youtube/linkin/twitter links.

Tinfoil mode on…
Link to IBM seems… improbable.
And it’s not the access code for the virtual phone - I tried.
It might be just a hint towards something, without the site being part of the ARG. It certainly has to do with cyber-security, and we’re looking for a cypher right now. Can’t get anything from that page that would give me an idea though.

Well, it isn’t the code for this:

Unless it’s just part of a url or cipher connected with the previous pastebin base64 codes.
I noticed the first msg 1. treatment administered 2. 11/15 3. a/O1OseeB 4. downloading voice data
had a/O1OseeB which looks like the start of a dropbox link i.e. dropbox.com/a/O1OseeB2GQbD5X …
I presume 11/15 15/15 is some kind of medical terminology?
Or is it part 11 and part 15 of the full code?
Just ideas, hoping to make a connection.
