 		Nick's Story box #8, lower right corner
OK, as soon as the padlock is up I'm going for "HAND" as the most likely keyword. Let's see if my guess is correct. It was on the last one. BTW, "HAND" is connected to "Blue Hand" which is seen on Benford's wall.

 		Box #8 solve
OK, keyword for puzzle 9 (box #8 ) is GIBBONS. Picture coming asap.

Here it is.

 		The new puzzle
Has anyone else noticed that the cities marked and the letters have something in common?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They're capitals

I disagree. However, I am spoiler tagging the rest because it would reveal what is already spoiler tagged.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Perth, Australia , New Orleans, Los Angeles, Brisbane, Mumbai, Rio, Miami etc aren't capitals. But they are cities mentioned in flashforwards.

Hand and Flashforward don't work either.

lock
Rock On
The lock is up...sorry hand nor music, gibbons didn't work.

I wonder if the three pattern card shuffling has anything to do with this?

 		I thought the same thing about the cards. I tried Three Card Monte (in different permutations) as a keyword, no luck.

 		Got it! Very Happy
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
GIBBONS gets you to the puzzle, and BURNED is the answer. Watching the "Weekly Mosaic" videos, each week there was a different location mentioned - use the puzzle map to find the letters that correspond to those locations, and voila! They are even in order already.


Haven't yet entered all of them at once to see if anything happens...

ETA: And we have a winner!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The closeup was, in fact, a chess piece (knight). The new page says:
"Like Mr. Obregon, you've come here seeking the truth. I've been on my own search as well. Here are some pieces I've gathered along the way. Your hard work has gotten you this far: to the beginning. Take what's here and continue the journey you began with your FlashForward. On September 24 -- and beyond, if you're paying attention, you will see the pieces come into play."
Then there is a folder to click on that opens into more folders, each of which appears to contain something related to the passphrases from the lock puzzles? Someone who's been more involved in the "big picture" can probably make more sense of them -- I'm mostly along for the puzzles Smile

For reference, I documented the 6 cities here:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Week 1 - Los Angeles Music Center B
Week 2 - New York U
Week 3 - Glasshouse mountains, Queensland, Australia R
Week 4 - Fairbanks, Alaska N
Week 5 - London E
Week 6 - Tokyo D

and also all 9 keyword/answers:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
divine/bullet (6x13 table of letters)
doll/face (#4 plus the chord)
utah/charred (7 colors) still needs a proper solve
lake/fire (riddle in indonesian)
city/blue (braille)
company/eight (five cities) still needs a proper solve
salt/melt (cootie catcher)
cupcake/eye (synthesizer + clap music) still needs a proper solve
gibbons/burned (map of world)

divine doll cupcake gibbons salt lake city utah company

I don't know what it all means, either

 		OK, it was a black (dark) knight. I don't think we should forget Oscar's remarks though. The fun continues. Very Happy

Ed. 1 - The Global Blackout or GBO has left us all with questions. Some that seem impossible to answer. But hey, I make my living by answering impossible questions.
Ed. 2 - For now, this is Oscar Obregon, reporting from Comic-Con in San Diego for truthhack.com
Ed. 3 - And whatever else you can dig up. Same time. Same URL
Ed. 4 - Telling truth to power: that's the name of the game. Until next time.
Ed. 5 - As always, I'll be out there. Riding the diamond lane on the superhighway of truth. I hope you'll join me again next week.
Ed. 6 - Until next week, this is Oscar Obregon, clearing the metaphysical gutters to let the truth run free.
Ed. 7 - Until next week, this is Oscar Obregon, ripping off the band-aid, even when the truth hurts.
Ed. 8 - I'll see you next week with more. Until then, stay vigilant. Don't believe every warning. Objects are not always closer than they appear.
Ed. 9 - Until next week, I'm Oscar Obregon, your sherpa on the sharp climb up truth mountain.
Ed.10 - Until next week, this is Oscar Obregon, blazing through the switchbacks on a collision course with truth.

Great summary of Oscar's quotes. With the Red Panda range covering the Himalayas, this might have future context.

I believe each monitor is hooked to a computer in the tank (liquid cooled).

Re: the clip, the left monitor has a world map and at least four "targeted" locations. One looks like Gibraltar or Spain. Another looks to be in India. A third seems to be over South Africa or Madagascar. The fourth seems NW of India. Afghanistan perhaps (important after seeing the pilot).

As to the chess board, the side opposite of where "Oscar" was sitting while taking this clip has the white side. I think that's important, as "white plays first." In a recent preview, Benford's daughter is seen on a playground with children gathering around her. Perhaps it is she that plays "Ring around the Rosie"? "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down" is in context to the GBO. Creepy, these guys are. Wink
