I agree that that is the kind of secret sign the Princess is asking for but unfortunately a red balloon is not very inconspicuious. Emagine a row of guys standing around a pay phone and two of them have red balloons. And one or more red balloons shows up in lots of pactures. would not Melissia be suspicious? Now a red shirt would be unremarkable unless you know in advance. Loyal Crew can wear Navy or Whites.


That might even work if somebody explained to Melissa that red balloons signified groups/teams consisting of crew members. She's pretty big on teamwork, so why not have a team a logo?

Eh, maybe not...

I think the SP gave us the sign we can use to signal her - her Queen smiley >:|

You don't suppose she wants us to reveal our version number do you? If so what version number should we use the Pious fleas version number. what would be our version number? 1.0 since we are the first version of us?

Also whatever you do decide to use to indicate you like the SP you should email her what you will use so she know what to look for. If I was at an axon(my only phone is 1 hour away abroken as of week 3) I would make a sign or a t shirt saying I heart SP and show it in the picture in the background stuck to a bulletin board or a telephone pole or the telephone booth or something. That way melissa wouldn't easily connect the sign to the people in the picture and get suspicious.

I'd say it's more of a scowl. Not sure if the symbol itself could find its way into people's pictures inconspicuously.

I would say make sure you have that exact sign somewhere visible on the picture, as well as in the text(like how the SP gives us our puzzles). Just to be sure. And I'm sure a red balloon, and maybe the color green, could only score more points.

Someone in the puzzles section suggested using the PF's number.

Well, since I am the orrery-maker...

I decided to indicate (as snorlison) to the Princess (but didn't set anything definite) that chaotic_mind would be asked to hold an orrery or the equivalent in his hands.

So, thinking about that, I found an Online Orrery and used it to print a overhead view of the Inner Solar at the time of my axon. Sorta. I kept the time, day, and month of the axon the same, but I set the year to 2552. I thought it would be a nice little nod to the PMs giant chicken calender.

Anyway, it would indicate that the Princess's orrerymaker is still working. As well, I thought it would be something convinent for Melissa.

"What is THAT on your hands?" - she might ask if she could see the picture from where she is and communicate to me at the same time.

"It's a picture of the Inner Sol System. I brought it to remind us of what we're fighting for. Earth, and her colonies."

I've attached the image of the Solar System on October 12, 2552, to this post.


Well, I'll be curious to see what you guys think, but since it's so late, I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow.

From what I can tell, the SP wants this from us in pictures:

1. A red balloon somewhere in the picture to indicate to her we're her friend.

2. The attached image file to be named with our "Version Number" (Yet to be discovered, maybe? Or perhaps PF's?)

3. The message telling PF what to transmit to Durga (whenever it's discovered what those filenames are) hiddin within the pic.

Well.. there's two pennies from me.

Hey guys, I came up with a few pictures that people could use to place in the background of the axon sites. one has a message written in another language (refspecialty) size 48. I thought we could send the SP a note hinting at the true type font. That way she could have her message in the picture rather than imbedded in the file. I also included the before conversion version. what do you think?

The only downside being, if you send it as a jpg, SP will have to translate the message "by hand". Oh, you know what I mean. HeeHee. Give it a shot! But add the Queen smiley somewhere too. Dunno what to do about the version number thing.

Decoder wheel

is this offering another way to get a plaintext message to the SP?
I noticed the little "wink" on the decoder wheel and havnt seen this anywhere else yet. could the wheel be for More then the already-solved puzzle?

Aliendiial,
I was thinking more of the pictures placed around the axon site to be taken at the same time as the pictures the queen wants on tuesday. that way if SP is watching those pictures then the sp will be able to look for our messages. in that instance the normal font message may be more usefull. what do you think?
