That are good news.

So it was still there? No signs of a Minothaurus, Theo or any other bad guy?

[EDIT] I am totally confused. It seems like there was only a note from "unknown". Why has this person not mailed to Ariadne and Lucie, like he/she promised?

Rough translation

No signature? Do we have any idea who recovered the original document?

[Elizabeth123]

I wonder if the handwriting matches "Theo's?" Chid12--Is Miguel willing to scan the document, or at least do a handwriting comparison to the docs we have?

I also wonder if the note was left (considerately) by another player, who then (inconsiderately) didn't follow through with informing Ariadne and Lucie.

Weird sport, by the way...all that humming...if we recreate it, someone's bound to make a call asking to have the players carted to a mental health facility.

Everything Miguel-Angel told me, I've told you. I can't really ask him to go back to the restaurant to ask who took the original. He's already done a heck of a lot considering an absolute stranger e-mailed him and begged him to go to a random restaurant to look for documents! But what I can do is ask him to scan the document if possible, and ask whether it's hand-written (is so, ask him if it looks like the writing on the postcards) or typed. I'll do that now.

If it was a game-player that took the code, then why didn't they inform everyone? Or if they did e-mail Lucie and Ariadne, why didn't they tell us!

If it's an enemy, then why did they bother leaving that note?

My suspicion is that another game-player found it, left the message so that any future gamer-players who visited Brussels wouldn't be disappointed to find nothing, and either forgot to e-mail Lucie/Ariadne (muppet!) or did e-mail them, and those e-mails remained unread. Lucie and Ariadne must get a lot of e-mails. Perhaps they missed this crucial one.

In any case, it sets a precedent that those who find these chapters must:

1) Leave a note saying they've found the chapter AND write down the code on this message.
2) Put what they've found either here, on on the wiki and NOT to e-mail Ariadne and then do nothing more.

There is still another possibility.

Mr. X (who took the original) left the note and leaves happily the retaurant for the next computer to mail his success. But on his way he run into Theo and his friends. They took the documents and silence Mr. X's tongue.

So be careful if you are the one who recoveres the next artifact

I feel like whoever left the note could have done so out of thoughtfulness, but who would go out of their way to do that if their intention is just to share it with us anyway? It seems his/her assumption that we would still be looking for it. Sounds fishy to me...

[riquardo]

Great work Chid12 and Miguel! The way this chapter explains the human labyrinth matches I think the first META trailer where we see for brief seconds groups of people holding ands and running forming a line (ie the walls of the labyrinth).

[thebruce]

hm. possibly, if it was a jack attempt, the PMs had he note placed with the code so we could continue on... *shrug*

Ariadne wrote a blog post about this. She says:

[Elizabeth123]

Has anyone tried entering the Pruvo code into the Ompha-Puter? I'm getting a "decryption failed" note, saying the site is "unidentified."

[jasper]

This is a game that can be hidden in plain sight? I'm trying to picture 15 people plus a person with a blindfold purposefully running around those practice locations they used in 1918. And who did they get to be the walls, then? Wow.
