The SPLAT is used to keep web spiders from spamming one's email. Simply change the SPLAT to @, and the message should go through.

Oops

Disregard my post on Collateral_File_6. I finally bothered to read the cast page, and realized my mistake. Embarassed

I'm still fairly sure that the location of the events has something to do with the story though.

I just ran a search for John Green's address (2100 International Dr.). Although it doesn't seem to be of any importance, the location of his address, the Office of Internal Security, and the Westin Hotel seem to be within mere minutes of each other.

The location of the hotel is at the intersection of Jones Park Dr. and Westpark Dr. The Office of Internal Security seems to be within viewing distance of the hotel. http://www.google.com/maps?q=7950+Westpark+Dr,+McLean,+VA+22102,+USA&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title

Green's address (http://www.google.com/maps?q=2100+International+Dr,+McLean,+VA+22102,+USA&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title) is 1.2 miles (3 minutes) from the OIS. Is it all just a coincidence, or are the locations too convenient?

Here's another one for you, the weston hotel is just down the road as well. I google mapped it as well.

7801 Leesburg Pike
Falls Church, Virginia 22043 � United States

LONDON

in one of the previous posts, someone (not sure who, sorry, ive read this whole board in about half an hour trying to figure out what the deuce is going on) posted GPA coordinates and their respective places on the earth. someone mentioned that one of the phone numbers leads to london. in: http://overwatch.visualfiction.net/ov_p-c5.htm we can see that whoever wrote the note wanted someone back in LONDON by the 12th. connection maybe?

I was thinking the word seed was meant to signify the start, aka the start of the art gallery selling the lagitimate paintings? just a thought

I would agree that seed is used in the sense of to start, this looks like some sort of black-op and the money has to been funnelled around to make it harder to trace, as for heat I would take that to mean pressure from above to get advance the project ahead of schedule.

I would image that the robbery was a field test, probably to determine which candidate to finally select.

Would anybody agree that OIS is likely to be "Office of Intelligence Support".

And there looks like lots to chew on since I wrote this. Wink

the part where he refers to the black-op thing then what about the OIS hiring that girl being discharged from the army. does anyone think that possible some of the "characters" that are still IA (in action) could any of them be somewhat black op?

could stepping over the line be that the Osprey arircaft in now being funded by wrongful means such as theft

Could be, but doubtful. The original voice mail message sounded too urgent to be dealing with just theft, and that seems like unnecessary means for a government agency to take simply to fund aircraft research. Also, I can imagine much more sinister ways to acquire money besides theft with regards to politics and the military.

John Green again

Saria (or should I say Stephanie?) I was the one that John Green refers to in his email to you. I don't know how many others have contacted him, but I would definitely say that focusing our emails on him would reveal a big clue as to what is going on. What I find interesting, is he is using the same techniques to learn about us as we are using to learn about him. He had to have searched on the domain name of my email address to find which law firm I work for, just as he somehow learned the name of the president of your high school. I'd definitely say there are some answers in that direction.

the planes
get this

ok so the planes the v-22s there were 4 accidents and four canidates it may not say there pilots but i was talking to an ex-egineer who said they would identify the thign once and then later everyone knws what there talking about so say the had already talked about them then y do they need to mention it again. Anyways someone needs to cross-reference the date (if there is one) of the time wen they talk about these 4 canidates and the 4 crashes. If they come after then we may have a connection. and umm i forgot whos being discharged? since these may be connected, i think and i could be wrong but Osprey is envolved in weapon making. it would tie them into the V-22s So in recap i would aprreciate if someone would cross refrence the date of any mentioning of these 4 canidates. We could find connections. Now something always goes wrong in a crash maybe the girl whos being discharged( i cant remember her name) was involved in either a. building the part that went wrong or b. she planted something. anyone anyone. Ok this is what im asking will someone cross refernce the date of the canidates and the crashes

Are you sure there is a Westin resort there? I was just on Westin's website, and I was unable to find anything in that area. I did notice that the person writing on this paper (I'm assuming Claudia)
http://overwatch.visualfiction.net/ov_p-c1.htm
is a "Starwood preferred guest". I don't think that's anything particularly special, but its still something. More of a TRIVIA I suppose. But if anyone could get confirmation on whether or not there is a WESTIN in the area for sure...

By October 12, 2005 David Waters and Julian Thalburg were both selected. If there were 2 other candidates, they are not specifically mentioned, at least not yet that I could find. Now when did those 4 Osprey aircraft go down?

Letter from Mr Green
letter from green

I do fin it interesting that he was able to find all my screen names, Especally since I never filled out any personal information but upon checking my Yahoo info it was all filled out. Got my address wrong but thats merly a mudane detail I suppose considering everything else he was able to find out. Any way he wanted me to share this with you all.

Dear Mr. Hanssen (He listed here all my other identities here),

Your letter, although well-thought-out in its own right, would have been slightly more believable if it had not arrived in my inbox along with 5 others - all asking more or less the same questions under various guises - within the span of 1 hour. I was prepared to believe that there was a possibility, however remote, that the two people I have previously corresponded with (Stephanie and Jamie) might have been with some far-flung agency that had stumbled upon the defunct TCJ. Even these days with everyone reporting up to OIS there is still no effective communication.

But the events of the past hour or so have put all that to rest. I can't say that I fully understand what you and the rest of your friends are up to, but after about two minutes of googling you and some of the keywords that have been flying around from all you 'government agents' it appears that you are all under the impression that it is some sort of game. I can assure you it is not.

I have a feeling that someone may have inadvertently used privileged information to construct a fictional framework for a game or story and, as sometimes happens, that fiction hit a little too close to certain truths. You, it seems, have taken this accidental truth and somehow followed it to me.

As far as I'm concerned, no harm no foul. If you and your friends desist from any further inquiries into TCJ I'm sure there will be no problems. As I had already indended after my second interaction with Stephanie, I will let the OIS know about the issue and they can take it up with whoever started this charade - and you and I both know the OIS will have no difficulty getting to the root cause.

I am replying only to you. I trust you will relay the response to the rest of your group.
