My last question to him for this session:

Nothing of that sort is in scope, no. I need rest now. I will answer questions sent when I am at full capacity.

Q&A

Here we go...

Quote:
Q. Can we find John in San Francisco?
A. A piece, perhaps.

Q. What's important about san francisco?
A. It is the second scope.

Q. The image at 13lights.com appears to be a helix viewed from above. Is this significant?
A. No

Q.Or perhaps it is a spiral stair?
A.Perhaps, that is out of my current scope

Q.Is telegraph hill important?
A.No.

Q.What is the origin of the word 'condestine'
A.It is the name of the man who first started to rebuild what would be the unix nations.

Q.Is Steven Parker a warden in the religious sense? The academic?
A.Economic, and the most physical of senses as well.

Q.Should we search north or south of Market St.? East or west of Van Ness?
A.Look at the highlights.

So other than bg info, ignore telgraph hill and look at the highlights. Drat. I was hoping for a quadrant, at least. Highlights?

This is the final response I received last night...not that it adds much. I'll begin a new barrage of questioning:

13 wrote:
Q: Is the remaining part of this riddle, the english "haiku", relevant to a specific location in San Francisco?
If not, do we currently have information that leads to a specific location?
Should finding this specific location be my primary focus?

A: You have all the information you need to find all 4 dimensions of the
location. Search without assumptions.


I figured the 4th dimension was time, but had forgotten the "080308" bit. I might actually be able to make it to San Fran around then.

Good =) I'm already going to be busy as hell during Comic-Con.

I sent some questions and got a reply (re-written in Q and A format for ease of reading)

Q (me)-When we wake him will we know?
A-When he awakens, the real fight begins

Q- Will we have to physically go and wake him or can we wake him from a distance?
A-"Physically" is such a tough word to use in context.

Q- When you say fire do you mean hypothetical hell fire or litteral petrol bombs?
A- Doesn't both sound swell?

Q- Why can't you wake him?
A- That power is out of my grasp.

Q- Are we confused you ask?? why yes... yes we are
A- All will be told in due time
This was followed by:
Find the second scope.[/quote]

Highlights = tourist attractions?

If so, are there any that have an address starting with 42?

There is a 42nd avenue that dead ends into Golden Gate Park, Lincoln Park, the SF Zoological Gardens,

I'm firing them off as quickly as I can come up with them. Unfortunately we're not getting answers back immediately (we probably overwhelmed the PM) , so I don't know which direction to head in my questioning.

What I asked:

Questions for you. Thirteen lights, thirteen questions. I understand
you will attempt to answer questions submitted before the deadline, so
I apologize if some of these seem redundant. However, I do not have
the luxury of requesting clarification, so must request as much
information as possible

1) There are several "42s" that can be considered in reference to San
Francisco. 42nd Ave abuts several parks. Are they relevant?

2) I've already mentioned the TV station KTNC. There is also a bar
called "42 Degrees". Is this relevant?

3) Is what we seek within the city limits of San Francisco?

4) What, if anything, needs to be done with the hex on the front of
the 13lights.org site? Are the strings that no longer appear relevant
for the second location?

5) If the goal is to rescue the children, does burning Condestine
Tower down not seem a bit... excessive?

6) John will not be awakened by what is discovered in San Fran,
correct? This will only allow us another step along the path to
awakening him, which will presumably lead to another location. Is this
accurate?

7) You have misspelled "Anomaly" several times. Is that just a typo,
or is it relevant to us?

Cool You stated to someone else that all the information necessary to
locate the 4space coords in San Fran have already been revealed, is
that correct? Where is this information?

9) If 42 is the answer, what is the question? If the answer is
"unknowable in the same universe", as Adams would state, that would
imply that 42 is a red herring

10) If the hex on the main page is encrypted, where should we seek the
key? Since the Golden Gate is the key to the Bay Area, is that
relevant?

11) Treasure Island is connected to San Fran via bridge, with a 4th
Street intersecting with Avenue B. Is that relevant?

12) Does 42 refer to a location or a date?

13) When will we have an opportunity to request more data?

Yes, it would imply that.

Yup. I assume that it basically was nothing but a method for the PMs to say " Get your questions in by now".

Or they're busy, and will update the site later Wink

I'm hoping for the latter. John was supposed to be awakened after 42 hours.

ETA nevermind, just was not patient. New message: Now it is time to move on.
