 		[OSC] Sleeper Cell Information
All that stuff we got as "congratulations" - what does it mean?
I'm thinking that this will all be a part of the bigger "plot". Not that we know what it is yet, but I thought maybe we could make a bit of a start on it anyway.

As you'll know, when you complete a mission, you recieve whatever information that sleeper cell carried. This is variously pictures, text, letters or just odd words.

So far, I've managed to look up only one thing successfully;
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Clements Airport probably refers to James Clements Municipal Airport in Michigan, USA.


So, um... let's puzzle? Laughing

 		If i'm not mistaken then the mission "A Walk In The Park", is asking for a solve from the information gained in "Innocent Mail"..

 		So, finally, we have a meaning (of sorts) behind this stuff! Very Happy

Quote:
My dear Agents and trainees, I have some rather grave news for you. You'll no doubt have noticed that after you complete a mission, you're 'rewarded' with something from the cell by way of congratulations. But there's a slight problem. We didn't put them there. We have no idea why you're recieving them. Obviously, someone knows something. And it stinks of E.V.I.L.


Quote:
The problem is, we don't have a clue who's doing it - it could be anyone. That guy you talked to on the forums, the one who can't spell properly. Maybe it's one of your team mates. It could even be one of our higher-ranking Agents, those I work with and see every day. We're genuinely clueless about the whole charade.


The good news is that moles are rarely as smart as they think they are. No crime is perfect - chances are that they've left clues everywhere. The stuff behind the cells, or maybe even the cells themselves, might be a good place to start. I'm asking you all to keep an eye out for anything strange, and work out who the mole is. Only trust those you can trust, and if you can't trust anyone, trust no one.


So... I guess we start here then. Smile

If you're going to post something that you 'won' from a mission, please put it in spoiler tags and label which mission it came from so that people who haven't completed that particular mission yet don't have to see it. Smile

Here's the full list as I've compiled so far... obviously, missing things I haven't solved yet. Smile

 		This is copied directly from what I posted at the OSC Forum, since I wasn't sure anyone would see it there.

Quote:
Right, I've done bits of work on bits of this... I'm not seeing patterns so far, but here goes with what I have anyway.

The co-ordinates 36°, 67°, 78°, 35° - if you take them as two sets of lat/long you get the first location in the middle of the desert in Afganistan and the second in the Arctic Ocean, way north of Finland and Russia. So... possibly not that then? I would have thought them unlikely to be degrees in a circle, since they're all less than ninety, but I could be wrong.

"Clements Airport" most likely refers to: James Clements Municipal Airport (FAA LID: 3CM), a public airport located three miles (5 km) south of the central business district of Bay City in Bay County, Michigan, US. This airport is publicly owned by Bay City. They have water runways and ground runways.

"Multi-Purpose Precision Concussion Instrument" doesn't bring up anything specific in google, but for some reason makes me think of a cosh, or a big stick... something where "precision" is used in an ironic sense. Of course, it could also be a cryptic clue for something, in which case I ask for someone else's help because I'm rubbish at them.

"Les Jamelles: Syrah" is a red wine, a Merlot. Les Jamelles have a website which you can look around. According to that, they only seem to have been in production since 1991, which makes a vintage of 1961 (as scribbled on to the bottle) seem particularly unlikely. Since the accompanying text says "make sure you get your vintage right" maybe this is telling us that something else, some other date, is thirty years out also?

The centimos coins are the currency of Venezuela.

OK, hopefully some of that will be useful... there's such a lot to go through, I'll try and do some more soon.

Taking the clues from "what's the password" and running a bit further with them... there was a mega earthquake in 1812 in Venezuela which would have caused a tsunami much like the Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami of recent years, only not quite that devastating. Atlas might be a reference to find some kind of map of it, maybe to locate the epicentre? Problem is, that far back there's no reliable recording equipment to give you any accurate sort of an epicentre, so... *shrug*

CODE: ASPEN could relate to any number of things I suppose, but the zip code for Aspen is 81612.

The symbols from Periodic Musings I'm fairly sure are Japenese Kanji. What they mean... I have no idea. I'm still looking. Smile

I think CODE: ASPEN is simply a reference to Colorado and that solve page is just a representation of the letter "C". Just like I think one of them represents "I" and one represents "H".

The symbols from Periodic Musings are Chinese and represent "office" ("office office", actually).

I might have more input, but am stuck in the third grade, currently. (Till I get somewhere on either Wiretapping or A Walk In The Park.).

 		Not really playing this anymore (I haven't actually been playing many ARGs lately-- too much work Laughing) but if you need someone to get to Clements Airport, I might be able to...
