Just a thought about the passport.

In the sound file it states
Quote:
Meeting with the forger went well. He's given me an authentic looking Soviet passport that, if all goes as planned, will get me out of the country.


I just have a feeling the passport is the forgery that was mentioned, so the name on it doesn't really matter too horribly much.


Maybe not but as the passport was included in the fragment items, it may be of some value later...

I've been contacted by someone playing this game that you need a contact in Las Vegas.

Here's the problem. I work or I'm out of town sometimes. As long as there isn't a narrow time frame, and I don't have to go too far (or deal with Strip traffic), I can probably help you out if you have a drop here.


Thanks for getting back to us kona. If it's ok, I'll put you down as tentative. The drops have all been pretty good at being in not-so-busy locations thus far, and have usually been hidden enough so as not the be found by random passers-by, but still easy to find for us strange people Smile I don't think time frame should be an issue.

 		Ok , the phone message has been updated! Next drop on Aug 31.

The next clue:
Quote:
The following fragment can be discovered by following white rabbits.
However, the rabbits may look like elephants, or perhaps people.
So please keep your eyes peeled and use caution.

I can't make heads or tails of it, though admittedly haven't tried that hard yet. Let's go!

I was just about to sign in to say that I acquired a person to make the drive with me to Dallas, but I see I am not needed after all. Thanks, toenella. Let me know if something happens and you can't make it, I will be your backup.


Added you to the Dallas list as well Smile

White Rabbits may refer to San Francisco (Jefferson Airplane) and the Elephants may refer to fans of the Oakland A's (their mascot). There is a game in Oakland on the 31st.

Wow. Didn't even have time to think about it. That sounds pretty convincing. Good job!

I think we must still keep an open mind. If the message refers to Copenhagen or Malmo, I probably wouldn't get it.

And, as for the Elephants referring to Oakland, it could also refer to Philadelphia, as the Athletics were in Philadelphia in 1943, as per:

Quote:
1902: As Connie Mack continues to stack his Athletics with players off other teams an angry John McGraw who quit the American League's Baltimore Orioles for a job with New York Giants calls the A's "White Elephants", and states Connie Mack should not be able to spend money without supervision. Mack would then adopt the White Elephant as the team's logo,

Connie Mack was still with Philadelphia Athletics until 1950.

"Following white rabbits" down a hole also could refer to the Subway in New York City.

 		Recording of latest OSS message here.

Also included is a document I've been working on while catching up. Might be useful for anyone else catching up, and also for anyone working on the Wiki. I would pitch in with the wiki, but I'm going on a business trip to DC for 2 weeks, and can probably only just manage keeping up with this for that period. I'll get back to updating the document when I'm back Very Happy

Actually, the 'elephants' could refer to Copenhagen, but I seriously doubt it:

 		Also...
Has anyone posited a theory about why this ARG might exist? Usually these are set up to promote something, but so far we haven't gotten clues about what that might be. This caught my interest today, given Abrams' known fondness for ARGs and the "20 or 22 pieces of epherma in the real world."

Abrams is also notably fond of mystery boxes:

 		Yes, I agree with MrBeefy. I understand lighthouses have played a part in BioShock Infinite.

 		I doubt it's important, since I don't think it has been in the past, but the music in the background is Duke Ellington's Jubilee Stomp.
