[NEW] - Mail From Orbicon 6/12/05 I got a letter through the post today, it was from Orbicon. It was my prize for the name that rock contest. Unfortunately they were all out of CD's, so I got a pen instead. In invisible ink pen, with a blacklight built in.
A quick scan of the document under blacklight revealed a hidden message:

Stay away from Orbicon. Leave any investigation up to an Inquiringmind.

i also recieved the letter and pen, and confirm that I got the same message, written on the back of the confirmation slip. Apparently moistening the paper with your breath helps, and also, i've found, angling the paper also helps too!

This pen didn't by any chance have a compass on the cap, did it? If so, it's probably the one Circuit City was selling for $1 on the Monday after thanksgiving.

Steven's signature on this letter doesn't match the one on the letter that we are getting from Stevie.

Um, that would be because he hasn't signed it, it's typed/printed.

I know I sort of already asked this question, but who is this Mary Jacobs person? Does she show up on any other letters? It seems so out of the blue -- should we ask Davina about it?
I figure it's just another employee, but still.

Name The Rock prize Just came in the mail. Got a basic letter that just says congratulations, blah blah blah. Seperate note that is typed and says maily that due to supply problems we can't give you the prize offered, however we can give you this alternate prize. Attached to that typed note is a handwritten post-it that says, "I hope you will enjoy this special space pen as an alternate prize. We hope to have your CD in the mail soon. Congrats! Davina"
The Space Pen is an invisible pen with an LCD light that reveals the invisible writing. Of course this was too fishy. So I did some searching around on the peaces of paper. Well on the back of the first congratulatory letter is..in invisible pen
Please be careful + leave

That's exactly how it is written. Well. That's all I've been able to find after some thorough searching. I'm pretty bummed that I didn't get a cd, but this invisible ink pen is pretty swanky.

I got my prize/clue as well. Same note and letter. However my hand written note just says Space Memorabilia, refering to the Vintage Lunar Lander themed letter opener From the Kennedy Space Center. (Pretty cool really.)
I have yet to discover any further clues to my package though.
Did notice that our Dear Contestant letters are signed by different people...
Mine is from Georgia Smith
(Now where did I put that blacklight?) - Oh there it is...
And sure enough I had the same quote on the back of my Dear Contestant letter.
Please be careful
leave the investigations
