I think the words are simply capitalized for emphasis. There's not enough vowels from the out of place capitalized letters to make a message, and the words themselves don't make a message when pulled out of the letter.


Thanks Wind Lane.

I thought, perhaps, the capitalized letters may be an encrypted message, but it appears not.

I do know that many documents from that time period (American Revolution) used capitalization for emphasis, especially for nouns.


Thanks sapagoo.

I have learnt something new today!!

Yes, that is correct, but cunning members of other branches might think of ways to infiltrate the Lucian archives Wink

 		Book 7 The Viper's Nest audio bonus
Just finished transcribing the bonus audio from Book 7, the Viper's Nest.

Quote:

Please stand by for exclusive bonus material.

<static><buttons>
Male: Testing Testing. <eh> This is deposition # 762. September 12, 2000. Let's get started. Please state your name and profession for the record.
[1:05]
Winifred: My name is Winifred Tambeka. I am the head librarian at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Male: Can you please give an account of the events of July 28th?
Winifred: Well, it began normally. But that afternoon, I had an odd encounter with a visitor.
Male: Go on.
Winifred: An Australian man asked to see some historical documents. He said he was researching Winston Churchill, I believe.
Male: What were the documents?
Winifred: The library has some of Churchill's letters in the archives. The visitor was particularly interested in ones that mention Shaka Zulu. I remember because it was a fairly strange request. I wasn't sure we had any letters like that.
Male: What happened next?
[2:00]
Winifred: I went on the computer, to create a researchers pass for him, which would give him access to the archives. But when I entered his name in the computer, I found that he had been banned from the library some years earlier.
Male: Do you remember his name?
Winifred: Roger Nudelman.
Male: Do you know why he was banned?
Winifred: It's all very strange. Highly irregular. Apparently he once accosted an important donor at a fund-raising party. A Mr. Kabra, if I remember correctly. Charming man, I've heard. I've never met him.
Male: How did you proceed?
Winifred: I told Nudelman that I was very sorry, but that I could not grant him access to the archives. He grew angry and emphasized the urgency of his research. Eventually I had to call security to escort him out. It was a bit distressing, actually.
Male: What happened that evening?
[3:04]
Winifred: I shut the library around 6pm to go to a fund-raising benefit. But I left my purse in my office, so I returned for it around 10pm.
Male: What did you find?
Winifred: The front door was open. The lock had been smashed, and ... well ...
Male: Take your time, Mrs. Tambeka.
Winifred: I called out for Baruti, the night guard. But he didn't come. Then, I heard a noise coming from the archive room. I know it was foolish, but I walked toward it. I couldn't stand the idea of someone desecrating our collections.
Male: What did you find?
Winifred: By the time I arrived, the intruder had already escaped. But the room was in shambles. Papers everywhere. I called for Baruti again. His absence was very strange. He took his job so seriously. He would patrol the halls all night.
[4:08]
Male: I know it's hard, Mrs. Tambeka. But please, let us know what happened next.
Winifred: I ... I ... I headed toward my office to ring the police. That's when I saw, I mean ... that's when I found ... I saw Baruti sprawled across the floor. There was blood everywhere. He had been stabbed. <sobbing> There was a knife sticking out of his back. A horrid object. I remember noticing the strange handle. It was engraved with a V.
Male: Take your time, Mrs. Tambeka. Would you like some tissues?
Winifred: Thank you. <sniffles>
Male: Do you remember anything else about the knife?
[5:00]
Winifred: I didn't think about it at the time, but later it struck me that it was a strange weapon to use for that purpose. It was quite ornate. It almost looked like a family heirloom, of sorts. It's a terrible thought, really, that someone's cherished object could be ...
Male: <eh>
Winifred: The rest is rather a blur. I rang the police, and soon the library was full of people. After answering some questions, I stepped outside for some air.
Male: What did you tell the police?
Winifred: That Nudelman must have broken in to steal those Churchill letters. I assumed that poor Baruti had tried to stop him and ...
Male: <eh> ... Thank you for your deposition, Mrs. Tambeka.
<button>

Please discuss who YOU think killed Baruti, the night guard.

 		Re: Book 7 The Viper's Nest audio bonus
I believe that Vikram Kabra did that as revenge for denying alliance with Arthur Trent. He accosted him or refused boldly like Amy did, and killed that security officer and had it blamed on Trent for Revenge.

Isabel's plan in book 6 and 7 are much alike

Equipment Upgrade

Ekats—

In response to rumors about the location of the next clue, we've ordered a mandatory equipment upgrade for all Ekats, including survival gear intended for below-freezing temperatures and harsh surroundings.

There are several new forms of transportation. Rocket skis are our most thrilling invention, though more cautious agents may prefer the solar powered snow mobile. But, in a blizzard, you're better off with my personal favorite, "the limo sled"— a twelve-foot long, electric sleigh complete with a surround-sound system.

You'll also receive an insulated bottle that will turn snow into warm water. We are still working on the injection that makes a person impervious to cold, as we haven't yet figured out how to keep the person from turning blue permanently.

In terms of clothing, we have a coat that quickly inflates to form an avalanche-resistant bubble around the wearer, and trousers that expand into an insulated, four-person tent. My nephew contributed an invention designed to prevent boredom while journeying across the frozen tundra—a bowler hat that talks. That one's optional.


Enjoy!

- Bae

 		Mission 8
Even though book 8 will give us the last last card for Mission 8 (clue #3), i would still like to make an arguement for the location not being Egypt.

Yes Napoleon is mentioned and he did have a campaign to Egypt. Yes the Rosetta Stone is mentioned, which was found in Egypt. Yes the Egyptian desert is mentioned. Yes the British Musuem, which is known for ancient Egyptian is mentioned. BUT so is T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). Lawrence incited revolt among the Hashemite Arabs in Arabia, against the Ottomon Turks during the first world war. Other than a short trek around the Sinai penninsula, his area was the Arabian penninsula.

This is my reasoning for Saudi Arabia...I am problem far off, but theories are fun...the mission could even go through both countries...

Five easy steps - you may need a calculator.

  • Step 1 - determine all the numbers that need to be in the grid.
    (In all three magic squares, the lowest number and highest number are already displayed for you)
  • Step 2 - determine which numbers are missing
  • Step 3 - add all the numbers up in Step 1, and divide by the number of rows (Either 3 rows or 4 rows). This gives you the Magic Sum.
  • Step 4 - subtract the numbers in the grid from your Magic Sum to determine which number is missing in each row.
  • Step 5 - make sure all the numbers from Step 2 are now in the grid, and the Magic Sum is entered in the grid.


Method 2 requires less addition.

  • Step 1 - determine all the numbers that need to be in the grid.
    (In all three magic squares, the lowest number and highest number are already displayed for you)
  • Step 2 - determine which numbers are missing
  • Step 3 - add up the rows of numbers already displayed (eg. Square 1, Row 1 - 8+1=9, 3+7=10, 9+2=11)
  • Step 4 - put the highest number from Step 2 in the row with the lowest sum in Step 3.
  • Step 5 - repeat step 4 until all numbers have been filled.
  • Step 6 - verify each row adds to the same number, and enter that number as your Magic Sum.

He did do all that but before he went to war he stayed in Cairo for a week or two. Just watch Lawrence of Arabia
