ECHELON was also a (call logging? bad memory) system in Red Monday.

new video, gives us triangulation points, (The Valley of the Sun, The Hub, and Gotham City) that we need to figure out what they symbolize...

Welcome to The Echelon. The Valley of the Sun, The Hub, and Gotham City are your triangulation points. The Token lies in the Big Smoke. When you acquire The Token, you can inspect The Triangle, and its secrets. For Now, 4000 words... (not sure what he says here)...


Then it cycles through 4 still frames:

A ship, A pregnant woman, and a puritan-looking woman ("witch"?), and a woman on the beach...

Valley of the Sun - Phoenix Arizona
The Hub - Boston Massachusetts
Gotham City - New York City


New York City is a guess.

Those last two look like something out of "The Ring/RingU" Confused

"The Big Smoke" from the third video refers to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So, the token is still there, near the CN tower. Presumably someone may have to go there to find it.

Gotham is New York City. The Hub is Boston. The Valley of the Sun is Phoenix, so the triangulation points define a narrow triangle, as drawn on the provided map. The lines pass through the "X" over Columbus, Ohio.

So, when the Token is acquired, the triangle seems to indicate that Columbus is next.

Which raises the question, why a triangle? Columbus could have been indicated with just a line between Phoenix and Boston

I think he says "four thousand words from you."

And, yeah, Gotham is an old-school nickname for NYC. (So is Metropolis, BTW Very Happy )

4000 words could = "a picture is worth 1000 words" and we have 4 pictures?

Holy crap, Salem!

The Salem Witch Trials!

There was a pregnant woman, they didn't hang her, but her daughter died in jail.

It was Elizabeth Proctor. Also, apparently she was legally dead for a while. I'm learning things!

Unfortunately, Salem is outside of our Triangle...

Could also be a reference to The Scarlet Letter, which takes place in Boston.

Hey I'm new here but I live in Phoenix Arizona so if you need any help with anything near there I could probably help, and if you didn't know the cardinals recently had a stadium built that was just finished in time for last seasons super bowl if that helps any.
