[WEBSITE] Hour of Arrival
Revealed in a call to Resistance cell phones

http://www.hourofarrival.net

Looks like they've pulled the carpet out from under. "They" aren't so bad. "We" are a little short sighted in our understanding of the situation.

There may be more to the story than we realized. But it seems that it's up to us now--at least for a while.

I don't know if it means anything and if it does, someone probably noticed it already but it stood out to me... http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/thebeginningoftheend.html

The website was found when people who had received phones at the LA live event received calls that said (in part) "the hour of arrival."

And thus, the missing site (Danny Jane) from 24.23.1 has been found.



dust to dust, ashes in your hair remind me what it feels like, and I won't feel again. night descends. could I have been a better person if I could only do it all again?
and the sky is filled with light, can you see it? and the black is really white if you believe it. and the longing that you feel, you know none of this was real. we can find a better place

in this twilight.

I still can't believe there aren't any puzzles here. I tried plotting the locations on MultiPlottr, but I couldn't pull any useful pattern out of it:

Honolulu, HI|30|Red
Amritsar, India|31|Red
Sapporo, Japan|32 (Hokkaido)|Red
Helsinki, Finland|33|Red
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia|34|Red
Rouen, France|35|Red
Crete|1|Red
Saigon, Vietnam|2|Red
Lesser Slave Lake, Alberta, CA|3|Red
Jamaica|4|Red
Sao Paulo, Brazil|5|Red
Reykjavik, Iceland|6|Red
Aukland, New Zealand|7|Red
Boise, ID|8|Red

Maybe it has something to do with the Viability Index of all those locations?

No sightings in Canada at all? Seems a bit odd. Or am I missing one?

Lesser Slave Lake is Alberta, Canada. It is odd that none of the major cities would report sightings, though.

possible explanation of lack of big city sightings

Couple of ideas...

One - The Presence's Giant Hand of WTF descended on the larger cities so quickly, so mercilessly that they never had time to report it.

Two - people in larger cities are more cynical, more able to say "I don't see that giant hand descending from the sky, do you?" "No, certainly not, there's nothing there, let's get a beer." "Let's do." and as such they "disbelieve" it and it doesn't happen. Of course that argues for The Presence to be a "faith based" entity, and personally I don't buy it.

PS - I finally broke down and made a user at ETS - I am t3chg1rl over there.

there are less well water dependent people in the city, infact if you live in the city you pretty much have to get your water from the city pipes.
