 		It's possible even than Stango is involved somehow and is supposed to be throwing Mark off track. If there were communications between the real world and Rapture, who better than a crooked cop? He could be updating Lutwidge on Mark's progress.

 		Update
New message from Roscoe Inman, talking about the Belman's chart, I think (I'm new to this ARG, just finished reading the 55 pages prior, so some of the info is taking a bit to sink in.)

Transcript:

Meltzer, Commander Roscoe Inman here. I got your message about the charts and I've never heard of anything quite like it. Now the office of naval research has been developing detailed charts on the currents but what you're talking about sounds like it's years ahead of us. Even our guys can't track debris to a specific urban location. If someone worked that out, I want to see the evidence. Keep me posted.

 		I've been keeping up with the viral site for a while, just recently discovered Unfiction. Major thanks to everyone who's been posting -- I don't have the patience to get the jewelry box open!

I've always wanted to keep up with an ARG as it happens -- even though this one's viral, it's a start... right?

[/irrelevant jabber]

Great to know that someone's on the right track -- the Bellman's Chart and the Carroll references. Can't help but wonder, though... Who's Alice? It may not be relevant, but it might be something to look for.

Alice Pleasance Liddell, the inspiration for "Alice in Wonderland"

This ARG has been rife with Lewis Carroll references.

Hmmm...Why do I think we will see that "evidence" on 08/08...?

The problem with that is that the map doesn't show currents... for example, all the currents in the Med stay within the Med -- the rivers that flow into the Med only replace about 1/3 of what the Med loses to evaporation, meaning that there is a constant flow of water *into* the Med from the Atlantic.

The only flow that *might* be a current flows up the Eastern Seaboard (the Jet Stream) and merges into the North Atlantic Current, then take the Northern branch.

 		new to this as well, but after being obsessed with the first bioshock and living on Long Island, (NY) me and a friend are definitly going to head to Jones Beach (field 6 from the picture) before Sunrise on the 8th with cameras and an instrument (mentioned in an earlier post about the possibility of having to play a specific note? . . . and it's an ocarina because i own nothing else musical lol)

really curious to see what could be going on . . .

 		 Bioshock 2, Something in the Sea, 08/08
Concerning the Jewelry Box puzzle
I am new at this and just stumbled across the teaser site last night, so bear with my ignorance... I'll do my best to fend it off and spare you all.

When I first played the original BioShock, I noted something presumably irrelevant, but maybe there's something to it. At the very first menu, scrolling through the "New Game, Load Game, Options," selections by holding down the joystick, or repeatedly putting it in the 'up/down' position, a series of random piano notes is produced.

Later in gameplay, I noted that upon discovering, then assaulting any discovered piano/guitar would produce the same, random (contradiction in terms I know) notes. Is there any thing there? I have recorded the notes and they don't seem to have any real pattern, they are truly random, but maybe there's a recurring theme.

Could there be a pattern in these notes? Or is it just an artistic choice for a menu selection screen?

I tend to get carried away with theories and speculation, but what else is a teaser site for if not to get the creative juices flowing? Thanx for putting up with my ramblings, hope I didn't offend Very Happy

so far, we have not found anything to the notes played... yet. but you are not ignorant for suggesting that. in fact, there may be something to this, but we need some way to translate the notes from the menu to the notes on the site. anyone with musical ability care to take a stab? i am not that proficient with such things.

oh, and welcome to the place of mad people. i'm mad, you're mad... we're all mad here.

and i know you're mad... or else you wouldn't have come here... Shocked

 		I don't know if you guys have already seen this, but I found a link to pictures of the Bioshock 2 booth at Comic Con. I wish I could have been there to see the real thing.

I meant in terms of this ARG. I know who the IRL Alice is...

maybe Meltzer's daughter is supposed to be "Alice"? Or maybe it doesn't mean anything and I'm just off on a tangent.
