Wallace updated his blog today and it has some interesting info on it. Did anyone else notice? The interview with Maad was... illuminating.

May explain all the power outages...


Quite an interesting read. Sounds like someone was trying to suss out how much Maad knew (and how much to tell him about the weird stuff Max had been doing)

That was at least partially me... I asked Wallace to ask if Maad had heard from the other members of the Rocket Men of Shen, what the point of the "Secret" part of their society had been about, and a few other things besides.

Drake is next. Looks like we'll see what he has to say.

The Baron is getting impatient... sent a reply giving him the general gist of the info we had about the third token, and reminded him that we were doing him a favour, so not to get too uppity. Smile


EDIT: Found a new piece of reading on the history of S&B and it mentions the "Culper Ring" ... 4 Yale grads created one of the first US intelligence organistaions.

Some more correspondence:

Quote:
Dear William,

Hello! It's Zobot again...

Um, I'm sorry for asking this again, but I'm a bit concerned about your accomplice in Cairo... someone.... not so nice... mentioned that they were going to go visit Cairo to investigate a professor over there, and it's probably nothing, but I've got a feeling of unease about it. Could you please warn him to stay safe?

I'm growing slightly worried that his and your research is becoming important, and that some unsavory people might try and take it from you. I really hate to pry, but I WOULD like to know a bit more about all of what you're doing... you're a professor of history, is it something to do with an event in the past?

Sincerely worried about you and your friend,

The Zobot


And then William wrote back that:

Quote:
Zobat,

Wallace has alerted me to fact, thank you all the same and I have spoken to Abdul about it. Abdul feared something like this would happen eventually although he thinks it is far earlier than he suspected. We've decided to encrypt all of messages and work until we are ready publish.

Our work does have something to do with a past event cleverly deduced young man, it is an event which has shaped the world and that is as far as I can tell you without giving too much information away.

Thank you again for thinking of Abdul.

Bill.


I'm willing to bet that if I can guess more details about this event, Bill will admit more details about it... I'm willing to guess it involves energy in some way, but anyone else have any ideas?

Baron Tourette Syndrome sent token 5.7z also to reesylou & Lu to upload. Am so over Him and these tokens but the PW is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Peter Pan (case sensitive). Sent him his puzzle piece btw

Purposely didn't send him the coords in the txt. file (51.271317,0.515778) which are maybe a clue for Wallace? Dunno


And Hot off the Presses is the title of Foilhead's update. Won't spoil the shock but.....

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
just between us, I didn't do it 'tho I thought about it....alot Embarassed

Great job on the new token Smile I woke up to find it, and the solve.

And Foilheads post has ....very interesting .... news, and implications. Did we cause that by validating the existance of the Baron?

Well, reesylou, willl unspoiler this later after the not-so-LOL cat is running around but....
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
His FB profile has been deleted so maybe someone else, certainly not us, had a hand in at least some cover-up

Louise in an email wrote:
Oh shit! Pardon my language. I wonder is the Baron still active in our universe or did that die when Max died. He was meant to be our key to Corcas. Wallace isn't going to like this I think he was pinning a lot on Drum. I could try sending another email to him I suppose, maybe I will use a different email so he doesn't know it is me.

What did the text say something about a General and Lost Boys and there's me thinking of that 80's vampire film with the cute guy.

Pattie was okay, I think I calmed her down. Hey I've got an idea, she worked for Corcas maybe she knows about their underground lab?!? Wallace is going up north to Keele to see Drake tomorrow maybe we will get some more answers then.

What we need I think is a summary of everything that's happened so far, it getting hard to see the wood for the trees. I'll see what Wallace says.

PS. Have you Google Maps the coords yet? Its here in Maidstone of all places you don't think, no probably not.


ETA: Late here yet is it your more expert opinion if those digits we unlocked can help Wallace with that 6 digit code?

I think possibly could be the location of the lab... maybe Wallace or Louise can check it out since they are nearby.

Will work on a summary for Louise Smile ... but not be able to do so at least for another 12 hrs, so if you get a chance first feel free to start/do it.

OT-Am on a mini vacation until Monday. My reading was that Louise would post a summary on Wallace's blog. Dunno

Agree with you about it being the underground lab. What I was wondering about were the nbrs. we got from the puzzles?

Things have certainly taken a turn, haven't they? Didn't the Baron mention that he had nine files? Hmmm.... Those numbers have me curious too. They look like sudoku puzzles. At first I thought it was all from the same square, but two of the pieces have an eight, so they must be put together as a full 3x3 puzzle which makes sense since there are nine files.

As Louise suggested I checked out the coordinates and they are in Maidstone. You can see in the pictures below that it seems to point at that house on the corner. But there are also train tracks that run underneath it. The lab has to be under that bridge.

As a side note, I love Google Earth. Other than the picture of the tracks I included was another one looking at the tunnel from the other side and posted by a different person. This level of detail still amazes me.

Toward the end Baron Kalan van Vitall about PW #3 wrote:
Your livelihood is the empire and don't forget that! You witches are just a gaggle of Geese to me.
Coffee Foilhead updated with a pic of three geese & a msg: "Sin is a virus". Some fresh input about PW #3 would be super.


When I sent Louise the Maidstone coords last night was really curious to see what she'd reply. Since her suggestion was to contact Patti Down about the lab's locale I've emailed her. Lost Boys, the super film Louise mentioned has an alltime HAWT soundtrack but am further clueless how it's relevant. And is the txt. file title from token #5, "Strong luck pith", an anagram?

These passwords still have me stumped. Here's the possible anagrams for strong luck pith.

Puzzles

Seems to me these puzzles from the Baron have got a little muddled.

The 5th one Amandel figured out password: Peter Pan.

The coords I did a Google street, theres a statue there, looks like a St George & Dragon maybe, not at home at the moment.

3rd Puzzle I think is related to the Geese postcard.

4th not a clue, although having following the previous game, I've noticed this PM likes to use similars in his/her wordings, different words meaning the same thing. The filename looks like an anagram too.

Thats all I have for now.
