 		We're supposed to be finding something... We just have no idea what to do with our clues.

We've found out (one part at least) what the bloodspattered pictures mean for us... We're just in the dark on the significance of the map and the picture in it.

Lunsford: cgainer23@whatever is your address? If yes, then you're #74.

And you, SPI, I think got assigned what used to be my number, 41, and I was moved to 120. I'll send 0 1 a message making sure that was on purpose just to be sure.

This whole thing is confusing to me. There, personally to me, seems to be a stall to this arg. Everything is slowly happening.

Pretty much every ARG goes through that stage, to be honest, I think it could be a way for the PM to workout who is serious about playing, and who is not. I don't care, this one, for me, is good, so I am going with it.

I think we might have something to tell 01, what do you guys think it is?

Very Happy

Thank You! Almost exactly what I said! If anyone really needs to know their agent number, message me and if I can, I will give it to you. The point is, we need to work out what info we need to give 01, just so we can move forward. ( I think. If am being obnoxious, tell me! I am open to reasonable critisism!!)

 		I think we can feed him what we know so far and ask if he sees any connections... I'll tell him about the hidden kanji and what they mean in my message about the agent numbers.

Edit: Blagh... Got a newsletter email a little bit after sending the "o hai found a clew" and thought it was 0 1. Wasted gasp of excitement.

 		OK, thinking about something we haven`t do (please trout me, if we`ve already done it and I`m just blind) I understood, we haven`t reported to 01 about our found. If somebody done it, sorry for my late reaction.

Anyway, I sent 01 this email and hope, it will bring us to the next point

My dear friend,

we (my friends and I) searched for Apollinaryia Lazarev recently, and we found her, on the facebook.com (that old social networking system, you know).
Here is her profile:
http://www.facebook.com/people/Apollinariya_Lazarev/1286358188

But strange thing is, she has under her friends also that Takahashi Gendo, who - as you say - is dead. But he seems to act and communicate with her. Is it a coincident? Somebody with the same name?
Check out his profile:
http://www.facebook.com/people/Takahashi_Gendo/1281769222

I hope, it can help you,
best regards,
always ready to help,
Agent 111

No word yet. Still waiting for them to post more details on their site, which might not happen now that they're under investigation.

 		OK, the dialogue between Polina and Gendo seems to get its shapes.
The underlined words are perhaps important, we have to find out, what is going on.

do you think they are somehow related?. it is getting on our way after all we have done for them.


(How related? We need the first record... And, done for who?)

after comparing it with other copies, i found the one different thing and definetely could be it. but whats in the box?


=> She also found the difference. Now I think, on the martyr picture important is not the marked man, but something in that box near of this man. We have to learn more about that 26 martyrs.

 		Good Facebooking there kos. This might be related to the map in Gendo's apt. Shows a movement from Nagasaki to Hiroshima and has the picture of the torii. Maybe what's in the box made that trip. (Real reason behind the A-bomb drops?)

I think we need more work with those images. Don't some of the lines look like corners and direction arrows? Or did those get used in the hidden Japanese? I still sux at fotogimp.

 		This seems to be quite a good account of what happened on the day the 26 martyrs were crucified, hope the link holds..

http://pweb.sophia.ac.jp/britto/xavier/yuki/yukidiego01.pdf

Wikipedia has quite a few good articles as well, just search for 26 martyrs and go from there...

Try here also...

The inset photo on the map is the torii at:
Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine on Itsukushima Island in the city of Hatsukaichi (in the part that was formerly the town of Miyajima) in Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan.


Looking carefully at the e-mail map, and comparing with the original (Thanks MrToasty!) the point on the arrow seems to land exactly on the island. Apart from the shrine complex, there isn't much else to say about it. I did find this:
http://www.miyajima-wch.jp/en/pathway.html

considering there were three children among the 26 Martyrs, is it possible that the Child protector statue was in the box? The problem with this theory is that the statue isn't a Christian one, and the guy with the box is clearly not Japanese. Sad

EDIT: The Martyrs walked from Kyoto to Nagasaki, the arrow points in the opposite direction. So it seems reasonable to assume that something was taken from Nishizaka Hill to Miyajima. I can't find any RL correlation between these two places, but that doesn't necessarily mean there can't be an IG one.
I think I need to get out more!! Rolling Eyes

EDIT 2: @ doublecross; do you think we should be overlaying the crosses onto the map? Or, or, are there 26 crosses for a truly "Doh!" moment?

 		I've found some more crosses on the four images - up to 25 now. Is there one more?

 		Was editing as you posted.Great minds think alike! Laughing

EDIT: Not sure, but is there a cross just visible through the hole in the blood spatter in image 3 (the lady)?

 		Hmm, possibly, but the lines look too short (if we're looking at the same thing).
