 		Status Update December 12
Breaking News: B.A. St. Feline will be traveling to NYC by train on Saturday December 13th and has asked for help! Sentries are planning on meeting her.

PopeTattles
Eddie Pope, the renowned journalist is investigating the "Tarot Killer", a mysterious individual who has been carrying out a series of rituals at the time of the new moon for the past several months. The ritual locations appear to coincide with the deaths of former Sentries. At his website, Pope Tattles, Eddie has recently reported seeing the Tarot Killer at the same Indian Mounds where we have recovered deaddrops (below). His most recent update includes video footage of the TK.

Circumstantial evidence suggests that the "Tarot Killer," may be Bryce Droher, the former webmaster of Sentry Outpost, who was institutionalized in Pickman Asylum last year. However, he may have been released just before the rituals started, according to an interview between Eddie and Dr. Jake Gateson.

Signals
Elizabeth Riley, a former professor at Miskatonic, has started a podcast, Signals, at her website in which she discusses phenomena related to sounds and sound-related transformations. Dr. Riley employs Sound Scouts, to gather data for her out in the field. One of her Sound Scouts, Lillian, has been following a mysterious group of sound 'signals' that occur at the same Indian Mound locations as the deaddrops. These signals may all be related to the "Source" sound, which know as the Scream.

Indian Mound DeadDrops
One of the Original Sentries, Arthur Lydney, is leaving information in the fallout subdirectory of his website that is leading to a series of deaddrops at ancient Indian Mounds. At each location, we have recovered a box containing artifacts either related to, or belonging to, Sentries who are now dead:
    ToKevin Artifacts, a group of artifacts discovered by Transtar at the Etowah Indian Mounds, GA.
    ToAlan Artifacts, a group of artifacts discovered by Biff at the Town Creek Indian Mound, NC.
    ToJennifer Artifacts, a group of artifacts discovered by Chixor at Mounds State Park, IN.
    ToStu Artifacts, a group of artifacts discovered by WolfHawk at Cahokia Mounds, IL.
    ToMarie Artifacts, a group of artifacts discovered by Transtar when he returned to the Etowah Indian Mounds, GA.


The Dreamers
Sploit, one of the Dreamers, has begun reporting on the current state of the Dreamscape. He set up nightmareconfessions, a website where Dreamers (and others) can leave voicemails discussing their nightmares. Various Dreamers have described scenes of death and destruction in the Dreamscape, as well as reports of sightings of B.A. Saint-Feline.
On his blog, Sploit has recently been providing maps of various Dreamscape locations.

BseeingU.com
In October 2008, the website of B.A. Saint-Feline changed, telling us to "Go Away." In the source, however, we were led to a twitter account belonging to Elftrytub. So far, this account has provided mysterious messages asking us to protect the Dreamers, but we aren't sure what it all means.

Rapid changes occurred to B.A. St. Feline's website starting Dec. 9th, 2008, following BA's actions. Along with changes to the background image, we heard several audio files in which BA seemed to a) save Sploit after the discovery of a "disc", b) argue with the Drummer about having to find a temple, c) find the temple (with our help), enter the temple (with our help again) and fight some baddie, d) argue with the Drummer about having to travel to NYC.

Forsythe Security
Forsythe Security is holding a Threat Assessment Summit in NYC the weekend of December 19th. Peter has asked for assistance with the recovery of a mysterious 'cylinder' during the Summit. There is discussion about whether nor not we should help him.

 		BTW - I really appreciate this updates. I haven't been able to play this book (between konashark getting home from Afghanistan and now I'm getting ready to deploy) but I want to know where it's going (and because my favorite PMs are running the show). So I'm going to keep checking in to read the updates and live vicariously through the rest of you.

I know she is arriving at PennStation sometime after 5:00pm. Do we know exactly where to meet her and what we need to do?

Please let me know because I'm working it into my plans for tomorrow, but I do have a lot going on.

I'll definitely be there, I just need to know what to do.

 		I mentioned this on the other board, but what the heck, I'll repeat:

B.A. will be arriving on the 156 Northeast Regional at Penn Station, New York, around 5:45. (I don't know which platform.) A sign that says "B.A." on it might be in order so that you don't miss her.

Working on concentrating the details for the Forsythe Summit now...

 		I'm taking my own train in Rose, and Johnny the hack is also planning on being present. I'll be arriving around 3:30 or so (weather permitting) and plan on staying the night so that I can enjoy whatever happens to go down with our encounter... Johnny and I exchanged phone numbers via IRC... I know I'm going to have my coin with me with her name on it to kind of give her a hint as to who we are... Cool Looking forward to seeing you there tomorrow! Very Happy

 		The Forsythe Summit

Currently, we don't have any more time/place info on the Forsythe Summit than that it's on Friday, the 19th. Keep an eye on this SO forum thread.

It sounds like it'll be a scavenger hunt for some metal cylinders, apparently with clues inside them or something.

The background story is that after coming into possession of his own cylinder, Peter Severn, the CEO of Forsythe Security, has actually hosted the Summit in NYC specifically in order to distract Arthur Lydney, who is thus far one of the only two other people who has managed to get their hands on a cylinder, also. Art is not necessarily in any danger, but must attend the Summit, maybe because of his job. Peter will be using us to locate the cylinders that he anticipates will be cropping up at this time.

Besides Peter and Art, there's also one other character: Bryce Doher, who was driven mad in an earlier chapter of the game. He also now has a metal cylinder, and may play a part in this hunt also. And, as mentioned, B.A. and Sploit, two of the 'good guys' will in NYC at this time as well.

The exact significance of the cylinders is an unknown at this point in time.
