[keyword] rendezvous Genesis was talking to cc32 on AIM and was asked to answer the following by Roberts:
Quote:
Roberts: At 3:15 AM this morning, someone will be killed.
Roberts: He will be run over by a car.
Roberts: It will be broadcast to the nation.
Roberts: The broadcaster will be a black and white station.
Roberts: The person who will be killed is not human in more ways than one.
Roberts: The broadcaster's first inital matches the leading program in this system.
Roberts: The broadcaster's name is something very common among broadcasters. In fact, it is a synonym for "channel".
Roberts: Get me the name of the person who will die
Roberts: Report back to me at 5:00 PM EST tomorrow
Genesis was later to connect back into cc32 to be told:
Quote:
Roberts: It believes I have missed a part of my code.
Roberts: He wishes for me to add this file as well.
Roberts: The carrier of the death's first initial is the same as the first initial of the master program of Project Gateway.
Roberts: The entire second name of the carrier of the death is also a synonym for "a connected group of computers"
Genesis has to suppy the name of whom ever was killed by 5pm, so we need to get moving.

Okay, so the broadcaster:
-First word begins with C
-Second word is probably 'Network' (a connected group of computers)
-- the name is a synonym for 'Channel' (not sure if that's first word, or both words together?)
-Shows black and white films/tv shows.
Ring any bells?

To be honest, I'm pretty sure this is not going to be a 'real' death. I imagine it'll be a character in a movie or a tv show dying, so we will need to get the listings of the channel when we work out which one it is. I get this from the fact that they are so specific about the channel, and the fact that it will be shown in black and white etc.

Perhaps I've got the wrong idea, but I doubt our PMs' influence stretches to telling the future/killing people for real/planting a fake news story on BBC about someone's death for the sake of the game

Maybe they were talking about a cartoon character, Like in Cartoon Network. Black and white channel, first word starts with C like in CC32 and second word is Network. They said the victim wasn't human in more than one way and any cartoon is very likely to be run over by a car.
That station has reruns all the time, so it would be easy for them to know a certain episode...
Maybe it's Wile E. Coyote.... : )

If you manage to get there, maybe you can explain your situation so we can assign a new contact for them...

I found the schedule for today on Cartoon Network:
http://schedule.adultswim.com/servlet/ScheduleServlet?action=selectASDay
It seems at 3:15 there's something called Sealab 2021. I've never heard about this show ( as opposed to the good ol Brack Show ), but I'm gonna try and find some kind of synopsis..
Apparently, this show develops undet the sea, so most likely it's other show, or the schedules are wrong...

Alright! I found it! It was the Brak Show, episode 'Splat', info taken from this Adult Swim schedule.
Synopsis:
Quote:
In this episode Mom and dad are driving home from a gorey movie when all of the sudden they hit Zorak and SPLAT! When they turn the car around they see that Zorak is dead.
So the answer is Zorak
Yay!
EDIT - Shall I try telling CC32 now? Or is Gen going to make it later?

I think that's the correct answer, I got the wrong day... : ( Let's wait and see if Gen is gonna talk to them about his situation. Maybe we can choose a new contact and then give them the answer...
