 		[SUMMARY] Unsolved Puzzles, Spec and Assumptions as of 5/18
As for what's on my list of things that need to be solved:


  • What's the symbol on the triangular piece of clay on Charles' desk?
  • What's the "hidden secret" on the A Modern World Band site?
  • Where/What is the box mentioned in Charles' voicemail?
  • Who/Where is Michael James?
  • What's the password for cryptochuck7SPLATgmail.com?

    Added by Tesseract:
  • What does the Batch Processor final output mean?
  • What are the blanked words off of the first document in the last cache?

    Added from Thelsdj:
  • Also from Charles' web page, how do we get in touch with the chupacabra?


I'm also trying to get my head around what we know/think we know. Here's my perspective:


  • The "gravely voice" Sue mentions in Sue's Blog Entry isn't John, per se. It's John's Shadow.
  • John isn't himself, per se. He's possessed by the spirit/person of air that he may have unleashed.
  • John Match may qualify as a person of Fire, as mentioned in the notes at the bottom of this page
  • Sue may be getting a bit possessed herself. Charles was trying to help her... Is he some sort of telepath?
  • The side notes in the same page mention something I read as "Always use the last wish to seal the spirit once more".
  • That leads me to believe that perhaps Charles was using a number of wishes, the last always being sending the spirit back into it's prison.
  • Chuck may have a shadow of his own...? Perhaps thats why the Cypher higher-ups don't want to have this case futzed with?


Work's eaten me (yet again. Not that I'm bitter or anything...)

Can anyone add onto this, please?

Cursing his To-Do List,
-R

Edited to add in Tesseract's input.

 		Good work Silverkun.

I guess we could add the last output from the batch processor too? and the blanked out words on the first doc from the second cache?

You know, Kevin mentioned having to chase the goat-stealing bastards in a cave in one of the training modules...

How much do you think they have to do with the current case?

Funky. I took a moment to pull some info down, mostly because I'm not sure non-WAs can see it:

Charles' Profile:

Charles Lehner has been a key member of the Underground Railroad for more than fourty years.

He began his tenure as a conductor and later became a misdirection agent, specializing in directing hostile sleeper authorities away from obvious manifestations of the Weird while the other conductors directed the Weird to a safe place.

After two years of exemplary service, Charles discovered that he had a great talent for diplomacy after he averted a potential turf war between several vampires and werewolves in the Louisville suburbs. Charles made Cincinnati his base of operations but he spent much of his time traveling the country, convincing some Weird groups to evacuate into the Underground and forging diplomatic ties with the Weird peoples who believe they can still exist out of sight in the sleeper world.

Batch Processor Output:
When I observe him, Shunyata (1990-2005) appears to have difficulty operating computers.

I have heard Eliza (July 31, 2003) say that she dislikes interacting with technology. She says she prefers ancient (pre-1900s) artifacts and the mysteries associated with them.

Lane (2004, 2005) does not show interest in objects that do not perform in the manner of ghosts.

Burke appears (2000-2005) uninterested in communication that is written on paper or typed on a computer screen. Burke also appears uninterested when communication is written and functions like code. Burke appears to be happy when the radio that exists in her room appears to decode speech and music from waves that act as if they are radio waves.

You read the text I concealed within the computer that exists on level four. You do not resemble any Cypher agent that I have previously observed (before October 31, 2005.) I believe that you behave as an individual. I possess information that I believe you would classify as "truth." I will deliver this information when I observe that, in my estimation, the time is optimal.


As for the blanked out parts of the doc, I can cut and paste, but I'm afraid I can't to a transcription today. Someone else will need to hit it...Smile

Obviously Slacking Off,
