That is about all I have come up with so far. But I have all night, So we'll see what I find.



Edit: I found these so far in Texas on google map:

Westwood Independent School District: Band Hall
Reaves Intermediate School

I recieved the following thing from Brackin when i wrote and asked hium if he'd found Foo in Dublin

Quote:
I was looking for someone and someTHING - else. I found it and am moving on.

Deus Ex Machina


This makes me think that the first three names mentioned are names of inventors, or names somehow related to objects.

Maxwell: Founder of modern Electrodynamics and Electromagnetic theory. Light is an electromagnetic wave (or can be viewed as such atleast, forget about particle/wave duality here for a bit). Arguably without Maxwell, we'd have no radios, internet or other modern communication/information-sharing methods.

Wright: The brothers Wright are the most wellknown pioneers in aviation. This could tie in nicely with Abilene and the US Air Force Base located near there. But I admit stealing a plane is a bit of a stretch.

Mandrell: From wikipedia i found the following: "In multimode fiber optics, mandrel wrapping is a technique used to modify the modal distribution of a propagating optical signal." - This is a shot in the dark, but atleast again optical communication ties in well with UTD and Maxwell...

So yes, I think the first line is hints to us to figure out what he was looking for in the three towns.

What "Westwood Hall" and "Reaves" are though I have no idea about.

Also I need to work on my Thesis right now, so I haven't had time to wonder if Maxwell/Courage, Mandrell/Strength and Wright/Knowledge fit as indicated in the text.

Poop!

I just read the Foo thread, and aparently my little theory is shot to pieces (thanks foo!). Oh well it was a good herring.

Unfortunately that info does not help us solve the next riddle of where Brackin is headed.

So far my looking into Westwood Hall has given me hospitals, retirement homes and one Chritsian Campus Dorm in Houston.

Reaves is even worse, Genealogy websites and one Sci-Fi writer living in LA. Unless Brackin has showbiz connections, I don't think that's anything we need to concern ourselves with.

Anyone else with ideas what Westwood Hall and REaves are clues for?

Hmm, I have received no emails from either Brackin or Foo since last Monday. Guess I p-d them both off!

I asked about my theory of "Westwood Hall"

Brackin sent me this reply (my theory was wrong I guess):

Quote:
Westwood - Hall - Reaves
an equilateral destination
and first step for a new path

Sounds like if we map it out we'd get a triangle and we're looking for the point smack dab in the middle.

There's a Hall County and a Reeves County (assuming there was a spelling error) in Texas and if you combine that with the Westwood College - Dallas campus you get something that resembles an equilateral triangle.

EDITED---that map is far from equilateral, though. Its shortest leg is 275 miles with the longest two hang around 430 each. Back to the drawing board. Literally. (Damn "trace" line)

NEW INFO--as covered in the interaction thread, this is out of Texas. Adam is boarding a plane and flying...somewhere and will be ditching his car in Oklahoma at some point (explaining the "move up (North)" to follow the trace line)

New communication from Brackin, after I told him about Phil's new email.
Quote:
Thank you! The flight was short and uneventful, I'll be sure to update the blog, as I still do not fully trust the security of this email.

DEUS EX MACHINA


Apparently, instead he trusts the security of an entirely public blog, hehe.

An IG blog...

Now there's an interesting idea. And you've been doing a pretty good job with it.

I'd assume he's a player. Mister Morden is a character from the TV series Babylon 5.

New update on the blog

Quote:
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
Safe Landing

Thank you to the old friend who helped me get where I needed to go today. You can keep my car. Now the journey can begin. From "West" to "East". It seems somehow poetic. I feel like Jeremiah 2:10. I'll have remember that to me the feed will happen an hour later now. Finding a wi-fi in this town wasn't easy!

The part that matters:
OUN - EZM

More info about the Foo / Phil / Alex / Brackin catastrophe.

Quote:
Yes, and thank you Michael. It's cold here. At the moment I am pirating net access off of a loading dock warehouse and waiting for the next chance to hop a boxcar, so you can understand things are odd from my perspective. A part of me thinks it would be easier to simply take a bus or drive myself to the trace, but something about this seems right. If fate has her way, soon we may all find ourselves hitchhikers and hobos you know? War tends to do that.

I'm not sure I should talk about the old team since I'm not entirely sure what all went down behind my back before the 11th, but I can say that there was some tension between Alex, Phil, and Foo. Some have accused me of firing him unjustly, but please believe me when I say that his absence on the big day way just the last straw in a long line of lies and deception. I felt that he was sabatoging us for a while, and it was Alex that was able to confirm for me Foo's untrustworthyness in those days. None of it matters though - that was another life, and I was another person.

DEUS EX MACHINA!


From a spec standpoint, it looks like either Alex or Phil was the inside man. Much as I enjoy talking with him, I suspect Alex--his dad is rich enough to have a private plane, and he was asleep during the feed (possibly from locking Foo in the storage room). Alex's dad is probably the private investor with the wads of cash.
