I wonder what's so special about 27.

Here's nagi's pickup report with many photos now!
1 2 and 3, and the whole trip from her departure

She says she has no idea of why the omphaputer warned "Take care!".

Great photos! Please thank Nagi. Do you know what the Post-It note on the second artifact page is? (It says 2 3-2.) I assume Nagi put it there...but do you know what it means?

27 has factors all divisible by 3, and when people find the artifacts, it essentially takes 3 points to nail down the right command, so I spec that there will be some sort of connection between all these places similar to how the artifact datasets are found ...

... or the knots are simply the places where the artifacts were found.

Some info from nagi's report:
- There were two counters, and the arrow in this photo shows where the envelope was attached.
- The shop was full of Maltese goods.
- On the article there are some scratches drawn with something like a needle.
- Above the title of the first page, traces of characters are seen. It's not an ink transfer during folding the artifact because the position is different. (Note: this trace can be seen in the PDF)
- She has no idea about the omphacomputer's warning. Nothing in the shop was strange or dangerous.

Can any of you Photoshop wizards enhance the traces letter-tops on the first page? It looks like there may be enough there to at least guess what the second word is.

Unagi--Do you know if the scratches were just random, or if they might form some sort of image or lettering?

(Grasping at straws here, because we need something to amuse us.)
