Back to Greenwich.
The building behind the couple is the National Maritime Museum in the 1800's, it used to be a navel hospital IIRC.
Good to hear Claire is ok, I think she might be part of the machine, target 78, 78 bits of the machine. *shrug*

Don't think she's an actual part, but, she may have the genealogy required to send something back to an important figure, just as V would be able to send something back to her mother.

Still no luck with the password, either.

Edit : Working on a rundown of the Nestor Documents until something pops in my head about the doc password.

 		Jason's (Jean Pierre Weiller) FB Profile is back online. His updates are friend addies, a savvy idea imo.
And Vanessa has posted a new Yahoo blog entry.

 		Looks like dreamer and I got a new email from Beadwerks. At first, I thought it was OOG and it was information about the store, lol. It's a Microsoft Publisher file with pictures of cupcakes. Some of the cupcakes are listed twice. I'll try to find a place to upload it...

Page 2 of the document says:

Quote:
Thank you for your enquiry. These are the flavours that are available this week at the Beadwerkz bakery. Prices start at £1.11 per cupcake.

I hope that this is to your satisfaction.


Fondest Regards,


Beadwerkz Bakery


Edit: rapidshare link (I don't know how to get Google docs to work, lol)

Well. I put it up, but it says no preview available.

Absolutely...just PM me your e-mail address (since Claire won't be able to do any inviting ATM).

From the PM, about Beadwerkz:
Quote:

It is a working store.
I would like to stress though that this arg is in no way trying to promote the business, is being run for non-profit.
However, my friend Claire is real, playign a characetr called Claire and thought she would use her site to hide a message. I saw no harm in it - but please, if anyone comes back at me saying I'm using the arg to sell her products, I'll cry!
It's just another way of getting messages out - she'd love it if people bought her stuff - though fully understood that in no way was her site being 'promoted' either.
Hope that helps - apologies for tone - drank too much red wine last night and have heavy head!
Right off to the nmm.....!


I will be busy until about 2:30 pm EDT today with errands, but I will be back after that...and then I will have to leave again at about 5:30 pm EDT for my father-in-law's b-day party (so many parties, so little time, LOL).

Oh, one more thing: since many of these "documents"/images were previously released as part of the previous chapter of the ARG, it might help to check out the previous wiki's page for the contents of Johan's desk: http://redqueen.wikia.com/wiki/The_contents_of_Johan%27s_desk ...unfortunately, though, we never created a page for all those book pages Vladimir scanned, so discussion of those will be all jumbled up in the unfiction forum thread related to the previous game.

Which reminds me...if the book page scans came from a computer that had been assigned to Nestor, then perhaps Nestor was Vladimir's MoA codename.

ETA: I don't have Microsoft Publisher, so I'm glad Dawn and others do! Ok, off to run errands and donate blood now.

Jason (JPW) called Vladimir "Nestor" in his recent email reply to me. Nestor is listed as "D" on the MOA Crew names list.

Am seeing lots of mouth-watering cupcake names when cupcakes.pub is opened in Notebook. Is it possible to post a screecap or Snagit of it? Also the PM need not fret imo...Claire is Supah in every way

I just uploaded them to photobucket. Have to get ready for work Sad

Page 2





You'll notice that Toffee on page 2 has some sort of highlighting around it? I don't know enough about publisher to figure out if that means something...

 		The repetition of some of the cupcakes seems significant. Could it be another cryptogram like the "Around in Circles" document?

The distribution if it helps:
Code:
ABCD
CBEF
GGH
BCIF
JKLM

NOAH
BEEM
PQD

 		Doh! Thanks amandel. Very Happy

Hmm, what's the hand asleep bit all about?

"Paresthesia, spelled paraesthesia in British English (also Cacaesthesia), is a sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of a person's skin with no apparent long-term physical effect. It is more generally known as the feeling of "pins and needles" or of a limb "falling asleep"."

 		And V's gone and updated her blog with a rather obvious code:

Code:
87 I 104 A 101 M 110 T 32 H 116 E 104 D 101 A 32 U 98 G 108 H 97 T 122 E 105 R 110 O 103 F 32 A 115 N 117 110 N 32 A 105 B 115 E 32 L 103 L 111 C 110 A 101 R 44 D 13 U 10 I 87 A 104 N 101 D 110 I 32 S 104 E 101 R 32 V 110 E 111 N 116 O 104 O 105 N 110 E 103 32 115 104 105 110 101 115 32 117 112 111 110 46 46 46


Any word on if Jason is dead? For some reason I hope so, even though I don't have any real reason.
