 		This just in...
I picked up the mail this afternoon and amongst all the bills and junk mail was a small envolope.
The return address is 6600 Wadsworth, Aravda CO 80003 which is...






wait for it...






YES! you guessed it right!



A STARBUCKS!!!!!!

[mumbles] I KNEW it! [/mumbles]

Inside was a 10 yuan note or Renminbi: Chinese Currency is called Renminbi (RMB or CNY) means "People's Currency" in Chinese language.

 		Note the serial number: 'CH 44', as seen in the 'key' picture on the Hazeltine blog. Said bill is like a $1.50 in USD.

The handwriting on that envelope is very odd--I almost want to say forced. But! I'll take it face-value. That is definitely not the Rage handwriting we've seen before, though.

Okay, so.

Now what? :B (Blacklight it, Schwinn!)

Crazy - I used to live in Arvada...

Before I forget again, my brother is fluent in Mandarin Chinese - so I'm waiting to hear back from him to tell me how to say "key" in Chinese. Hopefully the PM's meant Mandarin and not <brain> the other one.. lol

Also, I find it a bit awkward that the PM's decided to make a drop (if that's what this is) in a place where I don't believe we have anyone close. I understand WHY they did it (if they did) where they did, for story continuity and whatnot, but this might be a bit difficult.

I was just sitting down to say that same thing.
The (CH44082353) red part definatly stuck out to me. Also Arlen Rage Tweeted a while back...

 		Wulf: Yeah... I think the closest person I know of is Grady in San Fran, but I don't expect him (or anyone, really) to make the, what, couple-hour trip out there?
The whole riddle that started it, though... whatever it was about 'the first being led', I think we have yet to see what becomes of that.

And if this is anything like the first key fiasco, we might have to wait a couple of days before something else happens... we had to wait a week for oraclewatch.org to come around after I got ahold of the ticket, right?

Bah. I hate waiting. :B

 		Count me in on this one. I'm along for the ride.

Still waiting for a response to my E-Mail, Rage.

 		The solution!!

Ok - one of them anyway.

The way to say or more accurately pronounce 'key' in Chinese:

Cantonese: sah-sih (think "saucey" with a boston accent)
Mandarin: yao-shi (try yow-shi)

I'm pretty sure I screwed up the spelling he gave me for the Cantonese version, since I'm "huked on foniks" - but that should give everyone the idea. Now the question is - now that we know how to say it, what does it mean?

Unless of course, it was an indirect question, and more pointing us towards something made in China, or the like.

I replied to Rage with a Tweet, asking which dialect - so I'll guess we'll find out soon enough whether or not he was asking literally or as just an aside.

=edit=
btw - the spelling "sah-sih" is correct, the "i" and the "h" are supposed to be that way.

 		Holy crap, really?!

Man, throw me a PM and I will try to summarize this insanity for you (key word: try). I may have to make flowcharts. And hopefully give directions to this thing. We don't quite have all the pieces to this puzzle yet, but I think the process so far might be workable.

 		Coolness
You R - O - C - K Obtusitivity!

I'll let classical or Wulf do the honors of condensing this story line, but it's fair to say that the drop location appears to be grave marker 22/plot section 22, in Santa Rosa Cemetery (is this the Dead Town area of the Bay area? The place with something like 17 cemeteries? We do have what looks like an intersection of two streets to narrow it down thankfully.)

Did anyone over the last 8 pages in this thread get a klew that could point to the date of when this drop would be happening?

 		BnB: I am going to assume it's already happened and is waiting there, but I dunno, really! I don't think there was anything pointing to a date.

 		So um, this came in about five minutes ago:

Bernie: Has he surfaced yet?

Me: not that I know of... where is he?? you must have some idea of where I can look for him...

Bernie: I wish I did. I need to talk to him. That's why I'm checking in with you, Courtney.


He, apparently, totally ignored the text I sent him earlier, where I asked if he had any idea where I should be looking for Port. I feel like I must've missed something, because I have no idea why he would send this to me, otherwise...
