Putting "Steinway" as the solution into http://www.eyeamhere.com/vya/validateyouranswer.asp

leads to another page:
First the following text appears:
Quote:

Info sent to stvhitmanSPLATgmail.com

Suddendly this in interrupted by a blinking message:
Quote:

MOLE DETECTED!
E.Y.E. have detected you!


[SPECULATION]
I am confused but here what I think what had happened:

The files we found in the safe (Safe Files.rar) are from Dennis. In the intercepted email Dennis wrote that stvhitman will receive the last bits of the address, on which the mole is working. The new link might be the needed last bit of the address and the way how the mole will contact hitman. E.Y.E. therfore set up a trap.
So if the mole (or we) put in Eve's address (Steinway) E.Y.E. will know who the mole is.

Still some questions:
- Why is the validateanswer site on E.Y.E.'s place?
- Does Hitman know were Eve is? We can't log in the hitman account anymore to see if emails has been sent.
- The deadline has postponed. Hitman should act immediately if he has the complete address. Does he have now the complete address and is Eve in danger right now?
- How does E.Y.E. know who the mole is, if so many people from us have also used the validateanswer site?
...

Several twitter messages confirming my speculation:

Quote:

EyeAmHere@tso2009 - multiple moles have infiltrated your organisation. They have sent the missing address info to the hitman.


Quote:

TSO2009@ all TSO affiliates: Moles have provided the STVHitman with the missing piece to the address. We might be too late to prevent the hit.


Quote:

EveMandera@TSO2009 : have they betrayed me? Have they sent my address to the hitman? It seems I have nowhere else to go. I can only pray now.


Quote:

EyeAmHereE.Y.E. have detected multiple moles sending the missing addresss information to stvhitman. T.S.O. has been infiltrated.


And now?

ETA: Instead of saving Eve we have betrayed her Sad

i did have a bad feeling last night when i entered the 'steinway' answer and got the /detected page - including the line saying the information has been sent to the hitman.

not sure yet whether we have solved the puzzle incorrectly, or whether this was always a trap waiting to happen. have been thinking about it but can't see how it could have been avoided, unless we got the solve a lot earlier than expected, before other information was made available to us. which leads to the other possibility: that EYE is involved (as EYE SPY suggests above).

we have been warned before that we might not be able to trust EYE - is this evidence of it? EYE would have little to fear from a microbial attack, and seems to be still in existence in future Adam's timeline. and i never did trust AI Smile

will think about ways to save Eve today, but it may already be too late. of course, we don't know what other repercussions changing the timeline might have, if Eve is killed before the original date...

Embarassed oh dear... but that was the only thing we could do! and the thing was centred on the eyeamhere.com home page, which seems more than a bit suspish... we'll have to wait and see

Just one more thing to worry about....this tweet:

@ my new friends. A certain personyou have warned me about, is thrilled due to a "full address" and a "target". What is it about?


Our 2nd objective from TSO's blog was "to find out whether E.Y.E. can still be trusted." Do we have a definite answer now?

it certainly doesn't look good. not sure if we should be doing anything now or waiting to see what happens. the twitter activity has been high, and i have sent off a couple of messages in case we are still able to influence the outcome of the hitman's mission.

as far as i can see we have only two possible ways to protect eve - get into the hitman's gmail account to find out who he is, or what his plans are, or convince TSO/eve to move, or to at least prepare for the hitman's arrival.

if she is killed before 1 may then everything we know so far from future sources is subject to change, so we will need to reconsider anything we think we know.

Right. So, while I'd love to change the future by saving her.. the future might be changed even by having her die at a different time/under different circumstances.

Could explain why EYE might be attempting to make this happen sooner/differently than the way Future Adam described it...

Then again, some theories propose that the flow of time is much stronger than the impact of such small changes...

future Adam told us that even if we save Eve, she is dead in his timeline. so i am assuming that we are working on the principle of numerous possible threads of time, one of which (future Adam) has prompted us to affect our own reality. as we now seem to have done that (in a monumentally bad way...oops) then i guess future Adam's timeline and our own are now separating further and further apart - so there may be other consequences.

mind you, the whole 'time' thing usually gives me a headache, so who knows Smile off out for provisions in case tonight is as busy as last night - i think mexican food and beer will suit the arrival of the hitman.
