OMG, I just realised where everything is pointing. Now I am all tingly, but also annoyed cos I have to hand in this dissertation wassit.
The Garden of Forking Paths , I think.
http://www.perplexcityacademy.com/gardenofforkingpaths doesn't seem to work. But there are a lot of garden and tree references going on. This route seems to make some sense. Maybe there's another Borges story about trees? Maybe that's what the libraryofbabel background is pointing too?

Yeah ive been playing with that all morning. Also I found the phrase Orbis Tertius which looked suspicious as it refers to a secret society. When you put that in the URL you have to give a password to enter the site. I dont think this has anything to do with the game though.

I have been thinking for a while now about Anna's death. More accurately, about Anna's killer. Whilst we don't know who killed her yet, if we assume it was V that killed her then there is a good chance there is a recording out there for us to find. We know about his "kink", and it seems that Anna was tortured to death according to the Sentinel report on her. If Anna knew anything she wasn't telling us (Which I highly believe she did) then this would be the best way for us to find out this information. So now the possibilty of finding an mp3 file this week makes me feel slightly uneasy. *If* my speculation is correct, then prepare for an audio file far more disturbing than the recording of Monica Grand.

Although Tsun is arrested and sentenced to death, he claims to have "most abhorrently triumphed", as he has successfully communicated to the Germans the name of the city they were to attack, and indeed that city is bombed as Tsun goes on trial. The name of that city was Albert, and Tsun realized that the only way to convey that information was to kill a person of that name, so that the news of the murder would appear in British newspapers associated with his name.

Got excited when googling "the garden of forking paths" took me to the modernworld/scriptorum libyrinth or library of allexamina, as that was where I was last night when looking up Georges Perec, lipograms and palindromes, thanks to Anna's interest. Have tried those words in search. The connection seems just to be a link between similar authors/books of interest, rather than something of use to our search. However thought I'd put it here in case someone else can make more of it.

Well that would make sense if I were right about the mp3 of Anna being battered to death. Maybe espalier is the password to somebody's Hesh intranet files?

http://www.last.fm/user/perplexcity/ and http://www.last.fm/music/Viard/+wiki that Cassandra found while we explored this idea. As we were at the live event we do not know if this is related to the event or is new. It would seem it was registered on the 12th August - interesting date!
