Re: Callum Felderi
The Agency

As you know the policies we have here at 88

Lots of indications in the package (thanks, Dagada!) that the Agency's name is '88' or 'the 88.' As a reminder, 88 is also the number of modern constellations. Totally unrelated, I presume, are the many marketing/design/creative/digital/etc. agencies called 88. Mr. Green

Rich,
Dagada also posted them in the fb thread if you scroll upwards a bit. To see them more clearly, click on each photo so it fills your screen, or, if you want to make them even bigger you then will have the option to download the image to your computer, a button you click somewhere near the bottom of the large image and once in your download box you can enlarge each photo as much as you'd like.

Also the pen with ipsos MORI

Also of note (although I'm having some trouble reading Callum's handwriting), the note pictured with the magazine cover looks to say "The hare will protect whoever has the info? I hope so." And then there's also the rabbit figurine. Maybe Callum had a confidante in the 88? I wonder if Callum was hoping that the hare (presumably Lepus) would protect him or maybe Lucy? Lepus, along with Columba (Callum), was also one of the constellations in the Learning Knowledge video. Speaking of, I really need to go back and take a look at all of that again...

I was looking for a quick way to make them available to as wide an audience as possible. Sorry if it inconvenienced you.

I'm having trouble reading his handwriting too. So if any of y'all find it easier, please translate for the class. Smile

As I interpreted it several pages ago - and to bring new folks up to speed - the Learning Knowledge video features the following constellations:

Orion (Catholics use to call it St. Lucy)
Apus
Aquila
Aries
Camelopardalis
Cancer
Canis Major
Canis Minor
Columba (the Dove, Callum)
Lepus

Since then, we've learned that a lot of the agency folk are called by constellation names, like Draco and Callum, whom Draco referred to as Columba in his letter. Camelopardalis is a bit of a mouthful, so we have Zarafa, named after the well-know captive camel.

One of the items that Dagada acquired on his MK Adventure was a piece of paper with the word "kite" on it. There is a kite-shaped constellation called Bootes.

So, to put it all in one place we have:

Orion (Catholics use to call it St. Lucy)
Apus
Aquila
Aries
Camelopardalis (Zarafa, the agency's communications person)
Cancer
Canis Major
Canis Minor
Columba (the Dove, Callum)
Lepus
Draco (appears to be the boss of the agency)
Bootes

Dagada pointed out the following on Facebook:
Quote:
...pretty much all the artwork involved some sort of separation to make a whole. So Octo needed a reflection, the next one you could practically walk through... Even the sun was broken into lines...
We also had a sun and moon as two clues next to each other - ties into Lucy's letter.


After looking at the map in Dagada's files, it occurred to me that the path he took from the station through the artwork might represent a constellation, so I traced the path. Then, thinking of what Dagada had said, I held the tracing up to the mirror, both right side up and upside down, and took photos, which I have attached. One way, it looks like a moth, which makes sense with Felderi; the other way looks like a stingray to me. Otherwise, I got nuthin'.

It may just be coincidence, but those three dots where the magic carpet was do remind me of Orion's Belt... Ties into St Lucy quite nicely, but it may be coincidence.

May be off on a tangent here, but "88" is also an indentifier used by a number of white nationilist groups.

Response from Zarafa

Me: How is Callum's "treatment" progressing? Is he feeling better?

Zarafa (using Callum's FB): Callum is doing well. He will be resuming duties very shortly. Thank you for your concern. He, like I, would like to apologise for the poor communication recently - our Web page was very recently attacked and we are having to relocate our servers for security purposes. Thank you all for your patience.

Sorry for the delayed posting of this. RL is very hectic for me. I sent Lucy a picture of my hands and got this response on 6/18

Thank you - no, it is not too late - I just wanted to encourage people to help more - persuasion has never been a strong ability of mine - please, get others to join - I can only wait until the Summer Solstice before I have to apply my power - the more the better..., thank you


Has anyone else heard anything from her?

An update from the PM.
Quote:
OOG - There is a game still running - however, there has been a pause for a variety of both in game and oog reasons - mainly, oog - I spent about two months on a great website for you all to 'get to'... it crashed. completely. nothing salvageable bar original ideas. It...deflated me. I'm sorry not been in touch - then work has got hectic crazy -please - bear with me - give me a week or two more - will get back up and running [hard when grass roots and no 'team' to draw on - sorry to kick through the fourth wall but you are all such good players, I had to do something to keep you informed...


EDIT: Another update. Edward Nigma posted part of a countdown URL three hours ago. Led me to this.
http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20150723T12&p0=136&msg=QC+passing...&font=hand&swk=1

EDIT: Callum contacted me asking if I wanted to join the agency or knew of anyone else that wanted to. He assures me that all details will become apparent soon.

New Facebook post from Callum

Quote:
Good evening/morning/time-of-day to you all. Callum Felderi returning to your screens, bouncy and healthy once more. Apologies for the huge hiatus from you all - I have received treatment for my psychosis and all is well now. Thank you for the concern messages and the get well cards - I'm now back to work and looking forward to the next large project - recruitment!
Ultimately, we are looking for some new members of our agency to work alongside us in other countries, as well as our own. More will be explained in due course but, if we have chatted before, and you like what we do, or know someone who does, watch this space!


I wonder what the "treatment" entailed? Shocked

Lucy's Gone?

Since Callum has returned, I've been waiting to hear back from Lucy about the hand pictures I sent way back when. Still crickets. Checked out /~lucylime and there's a note from Lucy (or someone else) that she was found, is dead, and will be no more (past, present, and future tense). For those of us who chose to help Lucy, it may mean that we'll have to join the 88 anyway to get to both L and C. I'm not sure. Waiting to hear from Callum what recruitment entails.

Anyone have any idea what Ed's countdown to this past Thursday was all about?

The only thing I can think of, astronomically speaking, is that it was the 1st quarter of the moon. This Friday, July 31, is a Blue Moon, so maybe we should expect something then.

I asked how Lucy died a few days ago but no answer. I can't imagine she is actually dead though. I hope not anyways.

Ah, the whole "vital processes have permanently ended" part wasn't there when I first checked. It sounds more like she has no more power, so the 88 was able to capture her. Plus, the "will be no more" part sounds like we still have a chance to turn things around.

Also, Callum just updated that the 88 will be launching a snazzy new website on Friday! Very Happy Eager to see what the application will ask.
