Scraps Companion CD

On Valentines Day, they posted a bulletin on their MySpace giving a downloadable template and cipher. When printed and aligned correctly with the booklet in the Remains album, the template gave a user name and a password. When the cipher was deciphered, it gave a web address to go to. There is a downloadable album and cover file. There is a different cipher and template for Blood Pact members.
