Ugh, so now the call was too early to give us some wiggle room? Rolling Eyes

aye a little bit of research on opening times may have made the countdown a little more useful. I wont finish work until a further 18 hours have passed so looks like you will have to abandon that one.

and dont worry enaxor these things happen, I know plenty of people who live round there so went for some drinks Wink

I was going to head to victoria to have a look but wandering a station looking for an abandoned package is a quick route to being arrested for terrorism!

How far into it are we btw checked the first post and it was april...worth me keeping my foot in the door?

I would say it's worth it. Indications are we have a number of caches to find yet which may extend past the release of the video game this is advertising. So, in some sense it feels like we're just getting started.

When I can find a bit more time, I'll do more work on the wiki to help folks catch up.

Here's a trimmed mp3 of enaxor's call.

Thank you! I was hoping somebody would take my hint. Smile

So I sent a message to Dan to let him know that the tavern was closed Mondays and we were unable to get the instructions. I asked for any suggestions....

DC wrote:
I know the bar quite well. I've had a few late night sessions there. I believe they do open early, the staff get there in the afternoon, and if the instructions are there - that would be "non-pub" business, which means they will open the door to let you in.

I've just checked with a colleague who lives in the area, apparently they are there on a Monday, just cleaning up - a bang on the door would have led to someone opening it up!

Best bet, send someone down by 3 - 4pm, bang on the door. Explain what you're doing, and keep fingers crossed, but I have been told they are there from 2pm onwards setting up for the evening.

What are you picking up?

I'll check to see whether I can get a contact for the Manager - he may be able to help, but best bet is to send him a SMS message tomorrow.


I replied with...Not sure what the package at Victoria Station is, but The Foundry is suppose to have the instuctions to finding and retrieving it. Hopefully we'll be able to get this done in time.

DC wrote:
I'd like to find out what has spooked Hayder. No one is talking at Surer. If the package relates to him, kindly let me know.

Good luck, and I am waiting for a call from someone with a contact number - what timezone are you in?

DC


I told him we would share whatever we found and told him my timezone.

Very nice work.

Again, a new tweet:

Dan Corrigan contacted the the manager at The Foundry and I just got this message...

"Someone will be at the bar by 4pm latest" - word from the Manager.


Hopefully, that means there will be enough time after the instructions are retrieved to get to Victoria Station.

More from Sleep of Reason:
Quote:
I have been called to a meeting at 2pm. Not sure what it is about, but looks like it is Hayder related.

More details later, only to say Hayder's office is totally empty! Cleaned out as if he's never been, and no one is talking.

More fun to come today?

And again, good luck Russell - let us know if you need anything.

OK, just got to my office. I'll hop on IRC and see if anyone else is there to brainstorm. See anything that stands out around you or on the computer? Did you have to sit at a particular computer?

I've checked the websites also, there appears to be nothing new. I'd say MrToasty may be on to something about looking around and such.

Ask him if he has a package for Mr. Spencer? Maybe you have to say the name. Just don't know.

The package was likely meant for a character called 'Wheat' but I don't know if that will help. I posted on the IG forum so we'll see if there is any help from that side.
