I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I heard that....
...but then I remembered that I was sitting in bed.

EDIT: So I take it that this was not a live event after all? :/

DOUBLE EDIT: So how exactly did we get here from the TC email? I haven't been able to check up on IRC because I'm stuck using my sister's laptop, so if anyone could tell me how we got all the way here since then, that would be great.

 		Another vid, short this time:

http://www.vimeo.com/1194950

Quote:
Dr. Gough: Nathan, I've been out here seven months, thinking about what's been going on, watching as best I can from a distance, trying to figure out when to make a move. I didn't know how bad it was until you told me yesterday. They were out for your life.
Nathan: Yea
Dr. Gough: This has gone way too far. We gotta stop it, stop it now.
Nathan: We gotta get Erik and Eliza out and get you back in, so...
Dr. Gough: Absolutely.
Nathan: I think I have an idea.
Dr. Gough: Tell me.
Nathan: [gets out of chair] Let me show you.
Dr. Gough: okay
[end scene]


And that's the tease they've left us with.

 		Their plan? Use Visual Studio to build a program to hack into Holomove's secret world headquarter's holographic janitors and make them push the "self-destruct" button and let James Bond... oh wait...
Cool Shocked

This is the simple version:

TC emails us asking if someone can meet Nate him in Miami and help him out.

Nate visits TC in Atlanta. Later, TC is visited by threatening Hologoons. We learn later that they are somehow tracking the laptop Nate stole.

It turns out that no one can meet Nate in Miami. Short notice on a midweek trip and pricey airfare? Gee, I'm surprised. The PMs are forced to regroup, presumably.

The morning of June 17th, RK (whom we now know is Dr. Gough) leaves another crossword clue, which we fail to solve in time to be useful to Nate.

Nate is a 'puzzle guy,' remember? He manages to solve the clue without us, causing him to go to the Miami airport where picks up Jay and retrieves a clue from one of those guys who stand there holding a sign. Weird. It turns out to be a partial coordinate to some location in the Keys. Oh yea, TC is suddenly there too, somehow.

We figure out where the coordinates lead to (the "mermaid's boat"), so that's where the Three Amigos head. It's like a buddy-movie of some sort. Nate and Co. pop in and out of IRC chat during the drive.

At the boat, they find another message that refers to a memorial to the 1935 hurricane. The decoded message points to a Diving Museum.

At the memorial, they find another message that is supposed to be used at the museum. Again, we fail to solve it from a distance (sky and sea = Halley's comet and Halley's diving bell) but they manage to find another clue at the museum that tells them to go 7.6 miles and find "open water."

Somehow they miraculously figure out that this refers to the movie "Open Water" (c'mon really?) and in the DVD at the Blockbuster 7 miles away they find another message that directs them to find the building that survived the 1935 hurricane.

We figure out that this place is now known as the Green Turtle Inn, so that's where they go and find Dr. Gough, alive and well.

They all drink and have fun in the Keys without us. Boo.

 		So uh....we basically were just watching? Cool. (Well...that means I didn't miss out on any awesome solves)

 		Huh, went back to private for me too. Basically calling out Holomove ahead of the IPO. Pointing out that the technology in the video was from a year ago, not just weeks ago. Shows the goons chasing Nathan, Eliza screaming, etc. Ends with "This is Holomove"

ETA - new one converting now?
