I feel a bit silly for not catching on to the secret msg hidden in 88's tagline sooner... Rolling Eyes

 		Just a heads up...

Originally when I got the assessment documents, some of the questions wouldn't display properly. Callum "got in contact" with Kane to send over pdf copies of both files so I could view them properly. I've attached them in case anyone was having a similar problem.

This was the message Kane sent me along with both items, in case anyone is curious:

Quote:
Apologies for the slightly informal tone, but its 12.45 and I wasnt to keep a colleague quiet and not nagging me!
He's said you've not got a proper copy of the tests? doc files attached - but will also send as pdf.s to allow for viewing. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I've attached them both as unsure which position you've applied for right now [not at my desk and, unlilke Callum, don't have a double-dose of memory!] and will disregard any prvious if OK with you?
Sorry once again for this confusion.
Should there be any complications, please let me know.
Kane.

 		Brewer
When callum refers to the 'brewer' and points us towards the word's etymology, could he be hinting at LEJ Brouwer, Dutch founder of the mathematical philosophy of intuitionism? Too far down the rabbit hole?

 		Callum is back on Facebook.

And a new Facebook posting.

P.S. Any one down to start an irc chat for this ARG?

 		Callum's latest on Facebook
Wine
I just replied to Callum's post, enthusing about the fact that someone at 88 actually makes wine, and talking about my own under-the-table wine experiments. All true, actually, but it might gain us more information. Or, it might allow this "Lucy Camp" person to apply, which I have been hesitating to do.

 		New puzzle posted on the Enigma Facebook page which links to a website called ISSUU where Callum has published something for us to solve.

http://issuu.com/callumfelderi/docs/cryptex1

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The words on the second page come from the wiki for the word Cryptex.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptex

The bolded/italicized words spell "scrabble".


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm guessing we need to cut out the strips and rotate them around in a circle to spell words like a cryptex. XD


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Putting two and two together... maybe we have to arrange the strips in a scrabble board pattern...


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Alright this is what I got from the cypher:

ending fifteen star filled days
noone will tread the older ways
except the one whose mind is twain
drawing on both sun and rain
all dreams will be death flooded
when the balance tips towards the dark
again the great harvest becomes blooded
king dragons pits towards our ark

 		Excellent macrogreyhatter!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I wonder if there is a "here" (or some variation thereof) in there somewhere because of the comment underneath the puzzle maybe somewhere with the king/dragon/pits part?

 		I was wondering about that too Pia. I didn't really understand that last line of the poem OR what he was really referring to as *here* in the Facebook post. Maybe there's more too it?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The rest I assumed was referring to the equinox on Sept 21st- 24th.

There's also supposed to be a blood moon on like Sept 28th?

 		I've tried to rearrange that sentence but without much success. However, I'm pretty sure that last sentence is referring to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Draco constellation but also someone in 88 who goes by that name

 		I remember there being a reference to 88 creating "safe spaces". So if we assume that "ark" is referring to a place of refuge, and the "king dragon" is Draco (boss of the agency?)...

I think I'm still confused by this line. Should it be "King Dragon spits towards our ark"? But why would he do that? If it's "pits towards our ark", I'm not sure how that makes any more sense. Sad

Edit: So I went back to the screenshot that Nancy posted that showed some "secret agency forums", and it looks like Draco gave the order to create the safe spaces. Maybe it's one "ark" in particular that he is unhappy with?

 		The solution
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you arrange the Scrabble puzzle solution as a poem (since it rhymes), you get the following:

All dreams will be death flooded
When the balance tips towards the dark
Again the great harvest becomes blooded
King dragon spits towards our ark
Ending fifteen star-filled days
No one will tread the older ways
Except the one whose mind is twain
Drawing on both sun and rain

From top to bottom, the first letters spell AWAKENED.

 		Great job Nep2ne!

Maybe its



Spoiler (Rollover to View):
dragon kings instead of king dragons
and there are 4 of those according to this wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_King
and they can manipulate the weather especially with regard to bringing/stopping rain

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So "after fifteen star-filled days" refers to the upcoming autumn equinox on September 22/23, right? Maybe that's when Draco will awaken? Also, the major star in the constellation Draco is Alpha Draconis, which sounds a lot like Dragon King. Maybe the position of Draco in the sky on the autumn equinox is significant? But at what time of day? And from where? From Milton Keynes? From Greenwich?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Alpha Draconis is also called Thuban. According to Wikipedia, "Thuban, a relatively inconspicuous star in the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere, is historically significant as having been the north pole star from the 4th to 2nd millennium BC. It is sometimes known as the Dragon's Tail and as Adib."
