It's going to lead here, http://qadhos.com/pop/p01_0911.php , but the files linked to it are not up yet. (Nice to see that Doyon remembers people check that.)

Okay, much travelling for myself lately with work.. but thanks to Beez managed to get the USB key and the info from it..

So we got some pictures from Qadhos tweets see below (also on Qadhos yfrog stream HERE) and the info received on the USB key was three files attached.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the password for the zip file is the code we already got from the iPad in Toronto - "0911"


I received an email from Eleanora, after asking about her return

Quote:
I will be short as I am extremely tired, I will try to write you a longer letter tomorrow. The artefact is loaded in the mainframe. The good news is, we now just have to input the Security Key (the one left on the USB key) and we can start the process of hacking it.

The bad news is, as soon as you launch the server, anyone will be able to try to hack the artefact.


Thanks again to Beez for the pick-up!

I haven't tried to use the key from inside the zip file yet, in much need of sleep...

I'll do some update to the WIKI when I eventually wake up, but anyone else please feel free to add to it! Smile

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danvers_State_Hospital The Danvers State Hospital is largely believed to have served as inspiration for the infamous Arkham sanatorium from H.P. Lovecraft's "The Thing on the Doorstep".

The wording of the Wikipedia entry about Danvers is similar to the title on the BYTC blog post. However, none of the alt names have worked for me. I also tried variations using "Arkham" but without any luck.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danvers_State_Hospital

Danvers State Hospital, also known as the State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers, The Danvers Lunatic Asylum, and The Danvers State Insane Asylum, was a psychiatric hospital located in Danvers, Massachusetts.

Yeah, I can't figure it out either. I've even gone back further trying variations of Hathorne Hill, Salem Village etc The clue is no help.

-edit- I'm going to start sitting here http://www.mibbit.com/chat/#btyc is people want to swing by to brainstorm.

Good Job, Was very close to that, but didn't think to shorten the answer. Excellent work.

Also very creepy that it was the inspiration for Arkham asylum. Also the factual fact that it is built on Hathorne Hill, aka the judge from the Salem witch trials. (Aka this is salem village, awesome!)

Nice to see someone got the unlock. Gj. Smile

I pretty much drifted off as much as you did snorkle, interesting stuff - even read an article on the 'real' Gallows Hill.

Guess it's time to read the letter now.

Edit: I also threw E.P. another e-mail about our progress, but also noted that I'm skeptical and asked if her rescue agent in Sydney was perhaps Bobby Rondeau (a.k.a. Lucian).

In the mean time, if Beatrix is also back.. Then where is her pulse?
