 		Most of the cards are red. Take the red from the colour wheel you are left with blue and green.

Blue and green light mix to give cyan also known as bluegreen and of a similar palette to turquoise, both 9 letters.

I could probably get Kevin Bacon in fewer steps.

 		Lets see...

Steve McQueen's full house lost to a straight flush in "The Cincinnati Kid"
Dustin Hoffman costarred with McQueen in "Papillon"
Kevin Bacon worked with Dustin Hoffman in "Sleepers"

Yep, it was shorter. Smile

 		Laughing Heyas. Re the Message from Control update: Foilhead's source who the Empire wishes us to suss out is likely the female from Norway. Sent him a cryptic warning about their intentions b/c reckon I'm not cut out for being a compliant agent of the Empire. ETA: my "code" guess on the FY Wordpress was just a pure guess.

 		Too many questions

1. What is the purpose of the facility we are opening for the Empire and what do they want with it.

2. Can we assume Behind You works for the empire in a kind of biotech facility?

3. Is Wallace here and who is changing his blog?

4. What is Myrovh's angle?

 		In the FY update Control chastens that we are all slackers except agents Booba and Njberry. Gratz guys. Razz Razz Also, there's a new PW protected C File (Dun Troddan Report) with the prompt: "The Drug Nine, its power is obvious but limited to three".
PW solve
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Answer is 729 (9 to the third power or nine cubed is 729)

 		Currently having a discussion with Samael on Facebook chat AND a twitter DM chat with BehindYou. This could get tricky. Is Samael joined?

Edit for details
Messages with BehindYou

Quote:

BH: Can you speak to Pattie Down for me, see if you she knows anything especially about Lord Houl.

Spoon: Do you know if Lord Houl has any Empire connections?

BH: I doubt it, a complete recluse from what I hear. Not sure where the 'Lord' came from though.

BH: My contact at the Empire has gone traveling and left this as a contact point: JAGuideDrEldonTyrellSPLATgmail.com not sure what this means.

Spoon: I believe Pattie is an Empire agent. Do you wish her to know of your interest?

BH: Yes, why not I have nothing to fear from the Empire. I am working for them after all.

Spoon: What is your field of study?

BH: Biology mostly.

Spoon: What aspect of your work is the Empire interested in?

BH: Viruses mostly, creating is easy it is the cure that is harder. I think this 9 drug might give me the edge I need to finish my project.



New Facebook post from Myrovh

 		Apologies for the double but quite long conversation

Quote:

Samael: I've been told that you are in contact with a man calling himself BehindYou and that he has a minion working for him?

Spoon: minion or Minion?

Sam: Minion I suppose, there are many of them

Spoon: What have they done to gain the Empire's interest

Sam: The Empire is always interested in the crime whether to make use thereof or to remove. My interest is more practical although they have been lacking of late.

Spoon: I am aware BehindYou is in contact with a Minion as to the nature of their realtionship I couldn't say.

Sam: What do you know about BehindYou?

Spoon: Possibly some kind of scientist, reports to the Empire. Currently experimenting with Nine. Any idea why he'd be interested in Lord Houl?

Sam: Initials LH perhaps that matches up with a short code someone has shown me: L940G09633G9087G40873G233073G908H
Houl sending coded messages to an Empire scientist mmm?
Do you know who BehindYou's contact in the Empire is?

Spoon: I believe it used to be former Janus Guide Tyrell. Doesn't that make him joined and empire?

Sam: Not empire not a smidgen, that is so funny! Tyrell some explaining to do though! Incidentally remove the L & H, the 'G's are letter breaks. Why are being so helpful of late?

Spoon: Information is a two way street.

Sam: Good luck with the code
That scribe Foilhead seems to know much.

Spoon: Is this reality in your interest?

Sam: Information is power. Lets say the Empire needs to be on a path anything getting in the way of that could very bad indeed, for all us joined or not.

Spoon: So you want dun troddan cracked as well?

Sam: It is unfortunate that some secrets must be learned but they will serve a purpose.

Spoon: Myrovh's getting chatty.

Sam: What did you say???

Spoon: Well he lists you as an acquaintance on this social outlet.
We are not acquaintances! Myrovh should not exist at all, it is not possible! You have spoken to him???
I say him, there is no pronoun for Myrovh

Spoon: Only via the electronic mail of another who should not exist.

Sam: Which other?

Spoon: the fixed point known as Wallace.

Sam: Wallace is alive? Do you know where he is? For that matter what is Wallace doing speaking to Myrovh ?

Spoon: All I know is Myrovh has access to Wallace's mail and someone is making changes to Wallace's electronic journal.

Sam: So Wallace could be dead then!? Prefer him dead. If Myrovh really is Myrovh then no one is safe from his manipulations not even the Joined. Foilhead thinks the Conjunction is still occurring perhaps he is right which would mean this reality is changing too - Wallace's journal might be the perfect litmus paper for those changes, don't you think?

Spoon: Only if the changes are as a result of the conjucnction.

Sam: But what is the conjunction exactly?

Spoon: Only those outside of it can truly know.

Sam: What about those inside it, perhaps they can see part of the weave of it and where is the outside exactly?

Spoon: I fear the outside may be more metaphysical than physical.

Sam: Then Wallace's journal still may hold the key, depending on whether he is alive or not. Fixed point you say, they always caused problems in what is a constantly changing multiverse. It rejects fix points like throwing a stone into a pool, many ripples and many problems.

Spoon: Well, you have given me much to ponder and I thank you for your suggestions with the code.

Sam: Your information on BehindYou has been very useful indeed. I may offer you to be joined, you never know how lucky you can be with the right connections.



Now to try the code hints.

Adding to this the Foilhead post a couple of days later anyone able to fit a phone text code to this?

 		Not that I can see.
The only thing that I can see is that each number set will factor down to a number less than 26, meaning the zero's were added as fluff if this is part of the solve:

13 21 24 22 18 17 which number-letters to MUXVRQ , which would obliviously need more work, but I've tried the usual and came up with nada.

Now that you mention it, if it were to end in ex.7 the first 11 digits do make a phone number, but I don't see how that could be in play.

 		Hi! 99.9% sure this is the phone pad solve for L940G09633G9087G40873G233073G908H??? so I tweeted Mr. BY about it
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Substituting O for the zeros it can read: who owned your house before you???

 		Nice Amandel Wink I knew the voxigraph had to play a part.

I emailed Patti a couple of days ago

Quote:

to PattieDown
Good evening,

I was given this address by someone who told me you may be able to give me more information on the Bell Voxigraph. Are you able to tell me how the numbers and letters relate to each other. Is this truly the next step in communication.

Do you know Lord Houl? Is he really getting into the Voxigraph business? What's he like to work with? Is he open to other investment opportunities I have some ideas that he may be interested in.

Many thanks.

Spoon.


And her reply was

Quote:
Good Morning,

I somewhat curious as to who gave you my address however I shall put that aside for the time being.

The Bell Voxigraph whilst it has not been my privilege to own one, a number of my employers are rich enough and some even open minded enough to have one in their places of residence. It is normally located downstairs with the servants to which I do not spend much time, my employers consider it tool much like their servants and therefore beneath them. The Voixgraph is far from being a plethora in London much less the Empire. It is still considered by most just an expensive toy or novelty, they have not considered that as a means of communication it is a considerable weapon for the down trodden working man in his fight against the oppressors. As for numbers and letters, the Voxigraph's keys are laid out in a grid of twelve as in:

123
456
789
*0#

The letters are overlaid on the top of the numbers and from I understand you can literally type someone's name in to get their Voxi number location.

Your knowledge my employer is somewhat worrying especially the fact that I work for him. He is very rich and likes his privacy. I can not tell you what he is actually like because I have never seen him. All my business is conducted through his manservant Rogi a truly ugly man with a perpetual stoop. I can however tell you that the house stinks of cloves, I do not think I am portraying any confidences with that information.

I believe he is open to investment opportunities however I warn you he does not suffer fools lightly and yes he does own a Voxigraph.


I'll suggest Minion has a chat with Rogi

Re the "Tapho Rite" the editor of 729 Inc. wrote:
...Only method is through ingestion preferably minutes after death has occurred although the Outcast have perfected some methods of preservation for later use.

Oil of Cloves is a natural preservative. Due to the absence of "1" had tried a phonepad straight away. Used "0" as the breaker then so of course I got total rubbish. Rolling Eyes

ETA: Mr. BY replied on twitter that he is the adopted son of Lord Goreth and that the note may have been sent regarding "Something to do with the past..."

 		Heyas! Yup, the "Big Zero". There is a new PW protected C File with the hint, "The Sphinx is his Nisuoc". That's "cousin" spelled backwards *stating the obvious* Laughing
pw solve
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Answer is "cat" and the reffy is H.P. Lovecraft's The Cats of Ulthar which states "The Sphinx is his cousin".
