Jake checks in - blog at NRU After the great chess match solve by MidKnight, we found this page at NRU from Jake:
Quote:
I'm on my way back. I won't tell you from where. It's time.
Today was amazing. I watched the sunrise over the Atlantic. I miss Meg.
I thought I saw a hopper today. I watched him for about an hour during the parade. I'm too paranoid. I'll leave another message soon.
You were right. The fishing is incredible on the north fork.
Spring Training time. This might help pass the time.
I've had to move again. I used my real name on the phone making flight reservations.
Meg's mother is sick could you check on her for me?
Happy New Year Doc!. Hug Kat for me.
I want to come home. I miss the mountains. It snowed here today. Meg would have loved the crispness.
I'm safe. I'll be in contact soon. Make sure to check this page from time to time from the library. I'm working on a better system to communicate. Much more secure.
Looks like it's in reverse order - newest entry on top?

What flight? What was the fake name? Things to find out!

Meg's mother? not his mother? that is odd

Which doc is he talking too? Kat the docs wife?
Much too much too think about!

Look at Meg's web page, she moved back home to care for her mother in ... March or May I think, then her mother died, and she stayed to look after her father.

Dr. Zeladzney. Current Spec on Kat is she is one of the other Professor's at work on the project (Kathryn ???)

Okay my bad about the mother thing. I thought they were Brother and Sister but as for the rest it is just spec. That is the point I was trying to make and it is possible that Kat is not another prof but maybe a code name. Jeez let spec be spec already!!!!!

SPEC: Following the general spec that Jake is lost in time, Perhaps "hopper" is Jake's term for another time traveler? An enemy?
I like the name "time hopper."

I think we can all agree that "hopper" seems to imply someone jumping in time.
What is important here seems to be to understand in which order these messages come to us. It would seem as they are jumbled in time-sequence, which could be our next puzzle to solve.
That, as well as understanding where he is and why. Perhaps we can call the major american airlines and ask for a ticket registered in the name of Jake Starkhey. If I didn't misunderstand it, he said he did use his real name. And this either implies for us to search for it, or that Jake Starkhey ISN'T his real name at all.
We could postulate that our dear Jake was a hopper himself well before these guys finish (are going to finish) their project and that he has fled into time for some reason. That would explain his paranoia against other hoppers.

Hopper as a Time traveler seems to be the consensus we reached last night in #acheron.
As for the order, we speculated that the fist entry was at the bottom of the page (His arrival where ever he is) and the most recent at the top of the page (leaving the place where he is to come back) and everything between follows in order.
SPEC other "Hoppers" from the SPECTRUM Project in Russia.

[SPEC] About Jake My feeling is, Jake came to this time period to stop something. and that He feel in love with meg, and now that Spectrum is on to him or whoever, he fled back in time, so he couldnt be caught..
The Grays might be Spectrum/Russians who want his infomation..

This makes sense to me...if he says he purchases the airline tix in his REAL name that could imply that Jake isn't his real name...
but Mage where is the reference to SPECTRUM coming from? I never mentioned Dr. Z or Spectrum....
Thanks, D-

Jake sez: "I've had to move again. I used my real name on the phone making flight reservations. "
This could also be interpreted to mean that where ever he is, he's operating under an alias to throw off any persuers. In this case, he slipped up and used his real name to make reservations...

yeah, that statement is really open to interpretation....I think though in my opinion that all these 'entries' are from before his disappearance from what I gather...

Jake's Location? Taking another angle on Jake's post, should we be focusing on where exactly Jake is? He makes a number of geographic references. Does anybody know of a town on the east coast near a river delta that's famous for its fishing and likes to throw parades every once in a while? And maybe they have a baseball team too...
