 		Bah. Eight hours left, and we've gotten, what, two hours worth of question-answering?

Hope the PMs are a little more available today. Fortunately I'm working from home today so I can multitask a bit

It's also down to 77 megs if you download it, I assume they made a smaller version when everyone screamed

That's because it hasn't been. Good find!


I don't think that it's related. WHOIS information seems proper, and it's been registered since 5/18/2007.

That site was also used by players during Red Monday. I can't remember exactly what for, but I do remember bookmarking that site.

Is there a chance this is being done by the same production company?

 		I asked, "Where can we find him?"

Response:
Quote:
Still searching.
Will notify with updates.
He has made himself hidden, although he does not know it.


I have a few more questions to ask. I'll update. Smile

Lovin' the quick response time and mysteriosity, though I hope we can clear up some of the ambiguity surrounding the plot soon.

Edit: More responses.

I said, "Excellent. Thank you.
Another question: is the prison (Sky Incorporated) online anywhere?
Perhaps we can infiltrate them via the web."

Response:

I am not sure. They have not caught on to me as of yet.

 		More responses:

>is 13lights.com in scope for our search?

It is only a guide as well as another messenger.

Some answers to certain questions would be better explained if not from my word.


> How do we locate the specific spot in San Fran where we will gain more

Stop. Watch. Listen.

 		I asked, "The fact that they haven't caught on to you is excellent news. One final question: what will happen on August 3rd, 2008 at 2AM?"

Response:

The scope will be in range and something will be left there.
The exact time of range is only estimated from this distance.

Mare Island is not in scope.
John is an ally, the greatest you could have.
The ghost has no side.
Even I do not know the answer to that question.


Dangit, that Mare Island research took a lot of time Cursing

Concentrate on the latter number.


Nice and vague. Waiting for clarification

And has anyone else noticed the consistent misspelling of "anomolies"?

Quote:



> Latter as in 42, or latter as in 0000020 6a 67 47 67 68 54 57 65 54 35
> 74 32 79 42 53 77?

Same number as the hours you started with.
>> What is "Year Zero"?

The day the world nearly died.
I believe your word for it is 'apocalypse'
