Sydney: Worst case I'll encrypt the code on a Radiohead MP3 and leave it on AudioGalaxy.

AudioGalaxy is an mp3 filesharing system.
 
Sydney: You already knew about Rambaldi?
Vaughn: I didn't. The agency did. Davinci meets Nostradamus, personally, I don't buy it.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Florentine artist, one of the great masters of the High Renaissance, celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist. His profound love of knowledge and research was the keynote of both his artistic and scientific endeavours. His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of Italian art for more than a century after his death, and his scientific studies—particularly in the fields of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics—anticipated many of the developments of modern science.

Nostradamus (1503-1566), French doctor and astrologer who wrote Centuries, a famous collection of prophecies published in 1555. The prophecies in Centuries appear in four-line rhyming verses called quatrains. In vague language, they describe events from the mid-1500s up to the end of the world, which is predicted to happen in AD 3797. Many people have interpreted the prophecies in Centuries, connecting certain ones with events that have taken place since Nostradamus's time. The name "Nostradamus" is a Latinized version of his original name, Michel de Nostredame.

Sydney: You already knew about Rambaldi?

Rambaldi is mentioned for the first time. He was Pope Alexander VI's chief architect, ex-communicated for heresy, sentenced to death for suggesting that someday, science could allow us to know God. After Rambaldi's death, his workshop was torn apart, his plans and sketches were traded and sold for next to nothing. For the next five centuries, his work was scattered throughout the world. He was drawing up plans for a cell phone around the time of the Ottoman empire and wrote machine code in 1948. The entire sequence was written on the back of two Rambaldi sketches. SD-6 possesses one, and the other one was in the private collection of Eduardo Benegas.
