[UPDATE] Path of Least Time - 8 May 06 - Part 2

Quote:
Global Search
Monday, May 8 2006, 06:02 PM

Arrived back home a couple of hours ago. Been busy working full tilt on this global search thing - finally finished it and have the first partial results from an audio search; audio clips correspond to 'Miranda' and are plotted on a map. I can't imagine that she's using Miranda Katsoulis any more, but maybe she'll slip up. Anyway, the parameters are obviously too wide, but you might be able to make something from it. Going to have a nap now... I'm completely tired out

My theory is that if we can find the name Miranda used in the Marathon, we can give this Kurt so he can search for this.

surprisingly any of the interesting clips are reallllllyyy quiet. Rolling Eyes
As Kurt said not much to go, alot of it just seems to be random, there are a couple near the bottom centre of the map though that could be interesting. One has a bit of mumbling at the end, so anybody good at playing with sound clips?!!?!?!? Very Happy

goes somat like. Monday 08/05 10:40

I'm having a lot of trouble getting the site to do anything -- has it stopped working or am I just not thinking about this correctly?

Four points follow the track of that river and go our to the jetty, which sounds promising; the first one sounds to me like it's obscured by rushing water - the guy calling 'Miranda! Miranda! How you doing! Hey!'. Which sounds to me like she's getting on/is on/something a boat and ignoring whoever it is that's addressing her.

The other three along that path don't seem related, not really, but...

Yeah, I dunno.


Could she have sent that first boat out on autopilot, then headed inland on a second?

Edit: Eep, Atrophied has transcribed stuff while I was posting. I dunno - the clip I mentioned still sounds like what I said to me, but the playgroundish one with the hair comment...?

on the left hand map click on the glowing dot which is perplexcity
then it should load up a right hand map which you can scroll around like google earth and the glowing dots are the audio clips, just click on them and you should get controls underneath to play them. Very Happy

Am I right in guessing the clips about hair are about our miranda, and people who know her commenting on the change to red? They should be useful.

I've counted 18 little red dots on perplex city.
So 18 little audio clips.
Can someone confirm this?

I'm not sure about the hairdresser comment - I mean, she could be a hairdresser, but a quick dye job is hardly difficult.

Updating my little theory so far...

9:14 - 'isn't she called Miranda'
11:47 - 'has she done something with her hair?'

That follows a possible path out of the city.

Or, perhaps, she rendevoused with someone before getting on the boat?
10:00 - 'there's no point giving me random data'
10:40 - 'Miranda! Miranda! How you doing!'

Or both would fit, actually. o.o

9:14 someone mentions her - maybe she's passing on her way to rendevous at 10:00. Afterwards (10:40) she sets off the boat while chatting to someone who presumably knows her as Miranda. And then she flees the city via 11:47.

Maybe. Just throwing up ideas.

Even if those aren't right, that's probably a REALLY good idea to try and match locations to conversations; give us a possible context, and maybe coincide with buildings that Miranda would have a reason to go to.

And my guess is that they're close or right anyway.
Can we get a double-check on those and finish the list out?
