Doing anything at the airports would be such a mess. If it is time and place, I really hope it's a different place.

 		Paradoxic EMOTE is just one of the possible answers for the word in front of JET.

I don't think we're allowed to do stuff at the airport. Way to suspicious looking and we'd probably get in trouble.

Oh, I know, but no other word is valid. Second letter has to be N W M. That means the first letter has to be a vowel, and from the set ERFPB the only option is E. So EM. Next is DUOV, so we have EMU or EMO. ITY follows and we need a non-vowel, so it has to be T. Then we end with ERFPB and the only one that follows T is E. So either EMUTE or EMOTE.

Granted, abbreviation may be used here, but then it is anyone's guess. Even assuming numbers, there is no more clear answer. 5NOTE? 6MUTE? Nothing good there. I don't see how EMOTE-JET works but I can't see any other 5 letter english word that could be formed there, nor any good alternatives. Unless they are intentionally misspelling things again...

 		That's how I worked to get EMOTE but of course it being a company it could just be some made up word.

 		Time for me to call it for the night. Anyone looked at the airport codes for those cities? For example, DC is DCA (Regan National) and LA is LAX. Just reaching for options.

yesterday, i tried lax for los angeles but didn't see any place it would fit, so ruled it out right off the bat.

also, to add about 'emote':
you might be able to rule out tail numbers as a possibility, since they begin with 'N' in the u.s. unless it's foreign or other type of aircraft.

My guess is early movie screenings and not at the airports. The movie is premiering around the world around that date with various special platings. Couldn't locate any in the US yet though.

 		I notice that we don't have Q yet. Now, from what I can tell, Q may likely be three dots (so, it appears like O, with a single diagonal line going from the centre to the bottom-right). If so, EQUIP might also be a valid word. Possibly as a shortening of "equipment" ?

Hmm, could be. The 5x5 dot format of the font does not lend itself well to Q, but it would probably be the same middle-line profile as the O or the alternating pattern of the N/M/W.

I suppose, but they need to do a better job of giving us a finite location. There's nothing here that looks like geocodes, lat/long, or even map cross sections. Maybe there's something we can do with the two sets of number (3 digit flight and 4-5 digit time), but I'd assume at least a deg/min (4-5 digit number) and either a +/- or a N/S. Hmm... though we do know the city, so I wonder how one could manage to subdivide within the city.

Come on puppetmasters, give us some more details on stuff we haven't already figured out a week ago!

 		Lat/long doesn't seem too useful. For example, DC is at 38-53'42"N 77-02'11"W (38.8951118 -77.0363658). While the flight number 177 suggests something related to the longitude, there's nothing about the time (21_5) that can be connected with the rest of it.

Also possible that the flights represent an octal value as none are known to have digits greater than 7, but maybe that's just because we don't know know what 8 looks like (probably three middle dots like the hyphen) and 9 looks like 2 (full five dots). Of course, knowing that 177 octal is 127 dec doesn't really give us anything either, heh.

Interesting that they keep adding cities; perhaps it is related to early showings and they are still locking down locations for them. Though, that would argue that the flight number and time have nothing to do with narrowing down locations within the listed city.

 		the itinerary could just be general city info -although that would be somewhat anti-climactic from what we've already covered & been doing.

from past history in this and other args, city info has been revealed first. then we stay tuned for specific drop location info at the very last minute -just like in mark of spiderman backpack drops and flynnlives finale.

we have a little over two weeks for something to happen...

 		Good point. I only just got involved here, but I live near DC so it would be cool to be part of a retrieval team, heh.

Does anyone else think rigor was updated again? Looks like we've got more supporting dots for the Philly location name.

 		Well, it makes sense.
I guess this ARG won't be much more than a drop hunting all the way, since we are getting just game puzzles and scheduled drops, nothing to theorize and speculate.

 		RIGOR image updated
Today they added what looks like another location at the bottom. No hints to city yet. No further info on numbers or other unknown parts.
