 		The Grimoire
I wonder about asking "Mum" about the grimoire and it's history.

As for the comment, I have no idea what they are trying to tell us. I am bilingual, and I think it might translate as "The time has come again to go fishing." If this is the case, then it might just be a taunt.

I think this is a very good point, we've had some dialogue with Sasha now, it would make sense to ask about the link.

 		Working quite a lot lately so a bit out of it. Wink

So we need to fish more... After three sips of coffee I ponder 'to fish you need the right bait'.. So I send Mum the following message over twitter:

"Good day, I'd like to know what bait best to use when going fishing at Lake Winnipesaukee early March? Best regards,"

I love my long shots. Wink

 		Time for a wake up call, and it looks like we got some dawn of the dead inspiration on our hands.

Twitter update:
Enfin arrivée... Des agents sont en ligne? Je vais avoir besoin d'aide.
(Finally I arrived.. Any agents online? I'm in need of help.)

And guess what appeared in my e-mail box this morning:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Eleanora Plante commented on her wall post.
Eleanora wrote: "Are you still alive? Did she manage to get to you?"


And some further comments on the FB page:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Eleanora Plante
If any agent get this message: Beatrix is back, and so am I...

Eleanora Plante
Waiting to meet Sasha... — at The Fairmont San Francisco.


In the mean time... Qadhos website was updated and the first system lock is online. Checking this out now...The background image is called 'artefact', haven't looked into it yet. Futhark says: W E R T A/C U I O P A S D R G

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
File EP12 : Code Toronto


Info for lock1: song is Joy Division - Dead Souls (very suiting). Not getting any returns from Tineye on the background image. Looks like a map 'Under the Sink' is pretty clear. Reminds me of a movie but can't pinpoint which one.

Cracked it
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Right so I managed to get the first unlock... Simpy looked at the 'EP' part of the File EP12 and went with 'Eleanora Plante'.

 		Well done, I noticed the tweet just as I was retiring last night/this morning, but not in the right state of mind to do anything about it.

So given the tweet came from SoMa, San Francisco, Sasha is already there. but also... the blueprint on the pop-up window (Qadhos.com site) is of the Moscone Convention Centre in SF (ETA which is where the tweet pin drops at, prolly attending the GDC) - it also has a neat yellow dot in the gent's toilet and if you expand the window a little message..


A drop..? something for Sasha to get..?

Not sure how important which hall it is, some of the words are blanked out haven't crossed checked it with the centre's different halls...

I won't be in full swing until PM tomorrow..


Tex...

 		E-mail traffic with E.P.:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

2011/3/4 drejl <drejl>

It's been a long time E,

Of course I'm curious to know what happened in Sydney and how you have managed to come back.
Also, why Sasha? And if B.G. is truly back then how come we haven't noticed yet?

Best regards,
Drejl

Re: Long time
The trip wasn't what I expected as you probably now know. But I was not alone on that boat as I found out. By the time I finally realized I had been trapped by Beatrix's agent, the other undercover agent took control of the ship.


They eliminated Beatrix's agent and went back to shore with a cover story. I then went under the radar to pursue my investigation. The effort Beatrix put in that decoy lead me to believe the powerful artefact Adam was looking was actually real...

Last year, some agent made a serious breakthrough about potentially dangerous situation for Montreal and last month I finally found the location of the artefact. Believe it or not, it was in New Zealand!

The agent who contacted Sasha knows the location of Qadhos Mainframe. The poor girl has no clue of what's going on even if she seems to cope quite quickly with all this. (I also need to say I have no clue why this agent is interested in her) She is a police investigator, was located in Boston now in Montreal, I guess she knows something useful for Qadhos.

Anyway, I had her help to get in touch with the Agent. We need to hook the device to hack it and only Qadhos Mainframe can do that. I gave the agent the data I had and the artefact. Even if I assure him this was the only copy, I manage to leave something behind to be safe. Now they are tailing me, so I won't be able to get near it. I will stay low for a while; the ball is in your hand.


Try to get the file quickly before anyone else does.

As soon as the system is ready, use the private key to start-up the hacking procedure. I wish to know what this device does before they do.

Regards,


Further notes... I was pondering for a moment if I had the right answer. I figure we'll find out March 5th when there should be a new system update. If that's the case then the whole Code Toronto part should point in the direction of 0911.
