The thing that stands out to me about the clue is that Eagle has a capital E. First thing I thought of was "the Eagle has landed", though what that might have to do with the numbers I don't know.

Alternatively, Wikipedia lists a number of towns called Eagle in the US (Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) plus one village in the UK.

Those are my idle thoughts for the morning Smile

I was curious about the phrasing choices using "and" and "plus" between the numbers listed in the tweet. So if helps, adding all three numbers together gets a 4 digit result: 729 + 243 + 183 = 1155

I, too, thought of the Eagle has landed when I read that.

OK, now I'm confused.

Are we supposed to find him day by day? According to his tweeter account:

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?


Over.


If we're going to be getting puzzles like this day by day or everytime he switches locations, we may be slightly scrooed. I'm not even sure what /country/ he's in tbh.

Nigel has a new tweet:
"Double A. With the Eagle. I checked, the number has not changed."

Before I saw this I thought the date had something to do with why the number would be changing, but now he says it hasn't changed -so that theory is out the window.

What if his mystery number is not his destination, but his transportation instead? The "Double A" and "Eagle" made me think of American Airlines and American Eagle. The sum of all the numbers found so far in yesterday's clue was 1155 so I looked that one up in their travel info. Both yesterday and today there was a flight #1155 that went from Boston, MA to Dallas/Fort Worth, TX.

I tend to agree that this is indeed the solve. That means that Nigel was in boston and went to DFW...if this is indeed the solve, how do we send it to Nigel to let him know that we know where he's at without letting Logan know? If Logan's following his twitter then she'll know right where to look for him.

I was going to send him a dm but unfortunately he's not following me on Tweeter so it's a no-go. Sad

Yet another summary

OK, in another bid to try to figure out WTF is going on here, I went thru all comments again and tried to pull leads that I don't think have been sorted out yet.
1)
Quote:
I've been looking through my mess for the first name. All I saw was Gable jotted, nothing else. Might be easy for her to get to him. No idea. But I'm going to be on the hunt again.


Pairing this with another email (someone had one mentioning a last name ending with a 'G'). In which case, was Patrick Patrick Gable? I guess he was the first name on the list, and is now dead? Unless he and Shadow are in cahoots somehow?

2) D seems to have made several comments about her mind wandering. Is she being drugged? Or some mental health issues?

3) the long-standing UOMORIOL thing
4) the knife/lightening picture("annoying find")
5) liar/lie/murder picture
6) the letters in a semi-circle with 26 lines along it; no solve yet
7) the cat picture; no solve yet, but since we were supposed to use the cat to find Nigel, maybe that is no longer necessary because of Raevyn's solve?(nice job BTW Raevyn!)
8.
Quote:
We have We have technology. Opensource, worldwide technology. Oh yeah.
Was this a clue to the tool to solve the cat picture? Or some reference I don't get?
9)Taladan's 'i,t,w,a,w,i,n,w'

Any I missed? Any thoughts on which are obsolete, and which are likely still important?

A name and a small clue

long gone. This morning's was "La ch_te de l'o__re app__te la f_n abs__ue du monde."

I think it's getting a bit late. I'll finish looking my email and take a look at the snow outside before going to sleep


I think that the french is missing some letters which would be the next clue - either for an email or somethng to put in the subject line.


According to the solve for the translation this was:
La chute de l'ombre apporte la fin absolue du monde

that would make the missing letters: UMBORIOL

The only thing that jumps out anagrammatically is 'Our Limbo'...may've been working with a mistake here? Or am I missing something - forgive the expression - in translation?

Maybe it's a word itself, but the only thing that pops up when I google it is 'umborio'...don't think that it's a french word, though I'm not sure.

We've seen the dead man video...it's in the last couple of pages. The dead man is Patrick G (we think Patrick Gable) the person Logan was staying with. Msg him back and let him know that we are friends with fae and are trying to help him.

ETA This is in response to the message from Reflection of the Moon...don't know why it posted above that one.

Got a response!

I sent:
Quote:
Are you in Dallas Fort Worth area? Your code seems to point to "American Eagle" travel service. You've probably moved by now though.


His response:

Quote:
I am. Are you a friend of @faeryqueen21? Can I trust you? Shadow sent me an email with a video of a dead guy. Do you know who he was?


So you were dead on with American Eagle.

I went back through the thread and didn't see anything about a dead man video. Unless I'm blind. I'll see if I can get him to e-mail it to me for analysis

I messaged him back saying we were indeed friends and just trying to help. He hasn't sent anything back and hasn't posted on twitter recently either.

The only thing that has come up has been a tweet from Nigel pointing us back to the video of Patrick being discovered dead by Shadow. I have watched that video several times now and can't see anything in it that might even be construed as a clue. Has Nigel been told that it was Patrick Gable - the person that Logan (Our precious 'D' as it was noted) was staying with?

I don't know where else we're supposed to go with this...and it feels like we're supposed to be seeing something in the clue(s) that I'm missing.

No help from this quadrant currently.
