Part 1
Discovery
On February 17, Eve sent out the following email:
Subject: The key to a better view…
I have found something.
A window has appeared.
But, there's some glass for you to crack before you can enter:All Astir The Pulpit.A Bosom Friend The Sermon.Loomings.Loomings Going Aboard
Be informed that there is a second part to this puzzle.
I will send you the second riddle when you're ready for it.Eve
Solution
Olorin found that all the parts of the sentence to be decoded belong to Moby Dick (List of Chapters):
- Chapter 20: All Astir
- Chapter 8: The Pulpit
- Chapter 10: A Bosom friend
- Chapter 9: The Sermon
- Chapter 1: Loomings
- Chapter 21: Going Aboard
AUZ505 figured out the correct translation:
All Astir The Pulpit.A Bosom Friend The Sermon.Loomings.Loomings Going Aboard
20 8.10 9.1.1 21
http://208.109.1.121
This lead to a site that, at the time, was not accessible (403: Forbidden error).

Solution
Using the Knight Moves on the Codex Image the message was decoded:
