ok, bringing over my post from dio's "Year Zero 2?" thread since it seems it's related to Eight Days...

The end of the little scavenger hunt trail that began at the cocktail party was a sheet (attached) with the following text:

I'll post my assumptions on the latin here.

Aurum in Pax
Mare Pacificum
Ferreum in Bellum


My guess is
Gold unto Peace
Sea of Tranquility (or more simply: Pacific Ocean)
Iron unto War.

Not sure what to make of it. I don't speak latin (well.)but that's what I could make of it.

Link to the Video

did anyone else catch the words: birth by sleep, new age, john, during the video?

I'm new to the whole ARG thing, but this looks really cool, and I hope I can be of some help.

I'm glad to be around. I had a friend show me this site a while back, and I came back to lurk last night. (I won't post off topic anymore)

Well, I looked and looked and I couldn't find anything about what happened at the cocktail party tonight. An apparently crazed man burst into our rather pleasant cocktail party yelling and acting rather psychotic. RobMagus says he was shouting about seeing something we couldn't possibly more... those who were closer fill in!

Anyway, EGo - being brilliantly alert - saw a manila folder sticking out of his, well, pants and snatched it. The package contained a sheet of paper with a photo leading a group of us on a rather wild chase. I'll allow those with copies to post them as I can't remember all they said.

There was also a CD containing the video (posted y Kona). It mentions.. well... Year Zero and a unch of creepy stuff. And right after she mentions Year Zero a series of phrases appear over the static, they are as follows:

"Birth By Sleep"
"New Age"
"Fire In T" (rest cut off)
"John"

EDIT: This was cross posted, with a few edits form my sleep deprived failure of a post last night in a different thread. Sorry!

It's been years since I lived in Boston, but I remember the city well...

Hope this helps:

1. The summer sun rises in the Northeast.
2. During the Big Dig there was a leak that shut down the "Liberty Tunnel". It eventually reopened, but is now called the Tip O'Neill Tunnel.
3. There are quite a few landmarks Northeast of the Tip O'Neill Tunnel. One of those is Boston National Historic Park. The U.S.S. Constitution is docked there. (independence gained)
4.The U.S.S. Constitution, a warship, bears a famous nickname: Old Ironsides. ("ferreus in bellum")
5. She was originally commissioned to protect American merchant ships from pirates. ("aurum in pax" and "mare pacificum"... protecting gold at sea)

Even if I'm wrong, she's worth the trip


edit: Ok... if you guys are staying at the Raddison, then the U.S.S. Constitution is to your Northeast. To get there you'd want to travel up Route 93, which will take you through the Tip O'Neill (aka Liberty) Tunnel.

THAT may actually be the end of your scavenger hunt. Good Luck!
