Oops, forgot to clarify. I saw this tweet from Rage, and thereby replied to him, asking him to help protect Port - but I wasn't clear enough about it I don't think. Then I followed up with my tweet to Rage about causing a distraction.

Ok, well not including anything we might or might not get from Bricker this weekend, this is where I see us.

We have a map of Brightman, and a goal. We have a key, and the lock - but what exactly is it protecting?

Does anyone (that has read TGATT recently) recall whether any sort of password was used to get onto the island, or in the door? I'm thinking that's how the Yuan is used, in some fashion.

So as I see it, we have to figure out a way to get Port over to the island. Now, since I'm fairly certain they aren't offering tours, we need to find someone to get him over there, or have him do it himself. For that we need to find a boat. Would it be worthwhile to send Port down to the docks/piers to see if he can charter a boat to take him over there, or rent one? Once we get him to the island, we have to make a sneaky approach so they don't see him coming. We know from TGATT that there is a dock, where all new-comers land, and where they are greeted by the security force. But then again, we don't know what, if anything has changed since the CIA has taken over the operation. It could be they're running with a smaller crew, and have released all of the previous team (unless I'm forgetting something obvious from TGATT).

Once he can sneak onto the island we know there's a ladder he has to find (cant' remember the exact wording of the email Syn got) and scale - and from there, using the map - find Jenny. I wonder if we could convince Rage to create a diversion for us, to draw attention away from Port landing.... He did mention he'd be in the area, and he has a personal stake in seeing this succeed.

Assuming that Port reaches Jenny ok - we still have to worry about him getting her out of there, onto the boat, back onto the mainland - and away - presumably to a Starbucks in Kansas if TGATT is any indication.

I'm also wondering if we can use, or more accurately need to use Port's previous Masonic contact/experience to gain access to the island? Many important/high profile people have been/are Masons.

I'm sure for a good portion of this jailbreak, we're going to have to rely on Port's training/instincts/etc to get them out of any tight binds.
Which reminds me of another random bit of information - classy - can you ask Port what exactly it was he did to avenge Jenny? It was mentioned briefly in the manuscript - and then dropped. I wonder if that's somehow relevant at this point.

Sorry for the rambling/random order of this. Please correct me wherever I've gotten any information wrong, and let me know whether you think this is on the right track, or we need to try a different approach.

=edit=
One last thing. I forwarded a copy of that Chinese prayer sheet to someone I met in Hong Kong, asking him to see if he could make heads or tails of it. Again, no luck aside from what we've already gotten. It would appear that whatever is on that sheet was originally written in English, and then translated to Chinese - which as we've discussed on previous pages, doesn't work as well.

Welcome to the lurkers/new folks/and returning. We're glad to have you aboard, it's always better to have several different sets of eyes looking at this!

Ok I'm done..

That's a little better news.

Put your shin-kicking requests in today, folks!

Also, if you're not on Twitter:

Quote:

clas1ca: @ArlenRage Huh. Somehow, I expected better of you. Or at least something slightly less sloppy. http://bit.ly/Bhi4E ArlenRage: @clas1ca Sloppy would have been getting caught, my dear. I think it paints me in a rather heroic light though, don't you? clas1ca: @ArlenRage Cute, but I feel the 'silent but deadly' look is more fetching on you. Have you been sliding flyers under any hotel doors lately?

Hahah, oh Rage.

edit;; via d/tweets now:

Quote:

ArlenRage: What exactly do you mean about the flyers? clas1ca: King told me he received this flyer http://bit.ly/gaiM2 although the bottom was edited: "HE'S NOT AS CLEVER AS HE THINKS". Was that not you? ArlenRage: It actually was not I. Was it an old altered copy or a clean printout? This grows curiouser and curiouser, does it not? clas1ca: King said there were no tabs on the bottom, so I assume a clean printout. Very curious. Too bad we don't know who it's from, hm?

That's all I ask for. As many times as I've gone over every inch of these (now) 83 pages and all the pictures and info collected, trying to find some loose tie or stone left unturned, it would certainly make me feel better! I think I could probably recite TGATT in my sleep now!

Hi there people. Yes, somehow I'm still lurking along. Actually I'm 2,5 weeks on holiday now, in Vietnam. But apparently they got internet here too, and apparently I get bored every once in a while.

You never know how elaborate our PM is in backing up his story .

I don't have a vid-recorder per se, but my camera has that capability, and I'll be bringing that with for sure. We'll keep everyone up to date as quickly, as possible. I've got Twitter, iRC, and IM's on my phone (just like everyone else, lol) - so we'll try to keep everyone current as we go along.

Hahah, fancy that! As far as Nam and the One goes, I think we're waiting until we get our mits on whatever it is that Bricker has waiting for him at ARGFest.

Also, I don't have a video recorder! But I was thinking of bringing an audio recorder that I do have, more or less because I'm sure I will ask milions of questions and then totally forget them later if I don't.

/packing, omg

Feel free to trout me if I'm stating the obvious, but doesn't it looks like the PM is keeping the ARGfest-O-Con (or at least Portland) IG?

Kinda what I'm expecting, honestly. Which will maybe make for a very, very maddening weekend.

Also, because my paranoia bulb has been flashing oh so brightly since yesterday, I decided to check all the bases:

clas1ca: How are you holding up, man? klokworkalex: OK. With a mall and movie theater in walking distance I've kept myself occupied. We're kind of on hold until after your meeting, right? clas1ca: Only kind of. Plenty of weird freakin' shit has still been happening on my end, though I ought to be used to this by now, honestly. And... I dunno. Rage was apparently in your area yesterday. That's reason enough for paranoia/double-checking that you're still okay, right? klokworkalex: As weird as getting a flyer slid under your hotel door with Donnie Darko stuff all over it with "play it...or it plays you" highlighted? clas1ca: That's uh, quite normal for me, actually. I'm guessing it looks kinda like this, right? http://bit.ly/gaiM2

... so, huh. Is Rage recruiting again or something?
