Good work people!
"A bullet can be no more than 0.02 to 0.4 kilograms. Otherwise its ability to glide through the air would be halted. It wouldn't be the right size to pierce through anyone's skin or cut through a block of wood without the correct mass."
2940 feet per second (2004 MPH) is a common speed for a high powered rifle.
Edit to add:
How in THE hell did you get to "dubrovnik" ??
( I've got PRINCE ALBERT a "young briton" that was shot in 1868)

'dubrovnik' came from here . The prompt for the Outcast LAB Console's C-file is: "(T) birostris+alfredi (300 – 10) – Green Needles". Had no luck with T=Tesla , b+a etc= Manta Ray 290(guitar) minus Green Needles=Tea. *Giggling at the old Prince Albert in a can prank* And FY replied to my comment about Outcast on this 729 page

We believe this to be case also especially in light of the information gathered from the Outcast Lab Console at Dun Troddan. The Empire is surely in more peril than first imagined.
EDIT: FY changed the C-file prompt to: "T birostris, alfredi (300 to 10) = Green Needles". Am still fail-whale tho some corals & coral reef fish have "needles". Plus this:

...the reef manta ray form a 'Y' shape and gradually fade into the black of the back, whereas those of the giant oceanic manta ray form a 'T' shape...
ETA: Due to my fascination/frustration with this PW did notice that 'green needles' is an anagram for 'serene legend' with serene being a synonym for 'pacific'.

We now have two sources pointing at the triskelion with hollow triangle centre.
I'm leaning toward some kind of wordplay around 'triple shot'

The Empire has provided an addn'l prompt (Batoidea) for the fascinating Outcast LAB C-file PW. Luckily, the latest PW protected C-file proved a lot easier:
PW solve for The Report on the Battle of Basin Temple
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
PW is: "dejah thoris" who is Carter's wife
It's an über grisly account you fellas shd <3. EDIT: FY has updated the Home page with addn'l code & PW prompts plus a"faster method of checking potential codes".
And possibly in an attempt to help us Myrovh wrote:

Even with the additional hints and prompts, I'm afraid this one has failed to adapt to my particular set of sleuthing skills.

Question: I see the projectile connection but where does the triskele fit in.
As for the other clue I'm thinking a Ray Bradbury connection.

JFK was Irish?
YAY Amandel! You got that monkey off my back!
I'm thinking maybe T rays may mean electric rays?

**Watch the clueless girl from Quaker grandparents put on her TV-CSI-foilhat** Maybe it's something to do with a bullet's ballistics/spiralling?

That must be right for just so many reasons incl. Ray Bradbury's story/collection, I Sing the Body Electric , which could equal "green needles" as being Leaves of Grass . That's the name of the collection containing Walt Whitman's poem I Sing the Body Electric . Still, have tried many variations of this title with no joy.
ETA: Not to spoil your crypto tho am really curious how Mr. Behind will react when you tweet he shd "retrace your steps" after he's been in those gruesome tunnels.

Time to point him in a direction methinks.

Thanks. Yaha, he trusts you so you're spot-on to point the way as you choose. Personally, have wondered if a Gaunt is behind his feeling of being watched ?

Thanks for finding Fred P on the 729-wiki.
Replied to BH
Quote:
There must be a clue somewhere you have been recently.
Edit for more DM's
Quote:
BH: Are you suggesting I return to the tunnels after what I saw there?
Spoon: It looks like an Empire research team have cleared the place out.
Perhaps you can jog some memories.
BH: What memories are you suggesting I might jog exactly?
Spoon: Do you think it is something your father could have been
involved with?
Question: How do I break it to BH that Tyrell and Fred P are not Empire and who the joined are?

Simply don't have any good answers, spoonhead. However, props on making great progress with Mr. Behind & here's an email, fpsunSPLAT hotmail.co.uk, if you need it. The Empire also wants that email tho my belief is F.P. Sun would spit nails in annoyance at that. We think Lord Goreth was an Outcast due to the cloves, right?
