If we use that list, the ? will have to be an H that's the only letter missing.


I agree.
I have a hard time getting HAT out of what the computer generated female voice is saying. I hear pout as well.

While we're waiting, I decided to check out the address from the Seattle drop's After action report. In the report The agent mentions being on the Grey Ghost, heading for Southampton, then on to "72 Grosvenor Street, London"

Somehow I hadn't realized that 70-72 Grosvenor was the real location of the OSS headquarters during the war.

Now it seems to be the headquarters of a high-end real estate company, which I find oddly amusing, mostly because of the bureau-looking thing in the front.

Catching up, and yeah the message is definitely a phonetic alphabet that we will probably (see: definitely) be using in the future.

Ok the bureau thing gave me a giggle.

On a side note, the phone is still doing the same message so I'm guessing that means that is the one that will give us our next segment.

well the tumblr said the nest clue should have appeared by now. we should be searching for something to use that key on.

i tried using it on the code for the seattle drop but no luck unless someone knows of a place called "holks" or it going to be dropped in a Khols Razz

Ok so if we assume (yeah yeah I know assumption makes an arse out of you and umption) that we have all the info we need for the next drop...

I have a really odd idea.

What if the "math problem" is what the decipher is used for?

Would be a lot of work but that's one option.

Also the tumblr (Dude needs a nick name, we've got The Mechanic and The Spy, should he be The Tumblr?) says that he did not recognize the letters or the picture. I think they may be crucial at this point.

ive looked at the math "problem" but really it just looked like a bunch of math symbols thrown on paper to look like someone was doing math. i dont think there is a cohesive problem there. then again i suck at math so if someone wants to try to make something of it please do.

and i still think the tumblr guy IS the mechanic. did anyone ever ask him what he meant by "why dont you ask him directly"? that must mean there is a way to contact him.

Heh, I've been searching tumblr trying to find The Mechanic. I've submitted a question about the answer you quoted above. I started looking for a tumblr account because the last post about fragment 2 ended with "The system must have a wonderful creator." I thought was possibly a clue to look for The Mechanic.

ETA Here's my answer...

Isn't it obvious? You just did.

Good call Lobo! Smile

So we know the tumblr is The Mechanic. Still have The Mathematician and The Spy.

BTW Was looking at the pages from the briefcase and the drop, just curious about the handwriting.

Not surprising but they are different. Only reason I bring this up is because it goes to show how much work these guys put into this.

PM's if you read this Well Done on the little things!

Wouldn't surprise me. But I'm also wondering when. Last one we had a date.
