Cryptography Enthusiasts Requested

As promised, a post about... something. Secret codes!

Several of the blog posts begin with "TRANSMISSION// [something here] // AURORA." The middle section is different in each of these-- one is text in Chinese, another one is Morse Code, and one is what Travis identified as shorthand for elements of the periodic table. I believe all of them probably have some kind of code, but I do not know enough about cryptography to begin with most of them.

Which is where we could use a hand! If anyone has any insight or ideas on any of these (as transcribed below), and would be willing to help us decode them, that would be fantastic!

From January 13, 2013:

TRANSMISSION // 032::3834K::00003 // AURORA

From February 11, 2013:

TRANSMISSION // 0002/02/00002012 // AURORA之動得？違言語？何意味？待・之押that should fix it.

Google Translate says the text here is Chinese (Traditional) and reads, "Can it move? Breaking the rules? What does it mean? Wait and pledge". However, Google translate is obviously not the greatest source, so confirmation or correction would be welcome.

From March 12, 2013:

TRANSMISSION // 052::9JU324::00005 // AURORA

From April 13, 2013:

TRANSMISSION//AURORA//RANDOMGIBBERISHFILTERMALFUNCTION07 RESTARTY/N?

This one seems pretty straightforward, but I'm including it in case others have additional insights.

From May 6 2013:

TRANSMISSION//AURORA//890::E6::FREQ–GK10//–./../…-/.//..-/…//–/—/-././-.–//SEND

The morse code here translates to "give us money".

From June 17 2013:

TRANSMISSION // UUDD::LRLR::BARTN // AURORA

From September 25 2013:

TRANSMISSION // AqPArT::GCaLeV::LiScSaCa // AURORA

Travis translated the elements here as: AqPArT: Aq: aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water, Phosphorous, Argon, Titanium

GCaLeV: Gallium, Calcium, Lanthanum, Vanadium

LiScSaCa: Lithium, Scandium, Samarium, Calcium

For reasons I lack the chemistry knowledge to understand, he took these as numbers, or dates, and translated it as such: X/31205723/3216220.

So that what we've got so far! Thoughts?
