Montréal, and it's about much more than hockey and Maple Syrup, with a population of over a million on a tiny island

@dbed - I'm sorry if offended you with my last comment, I feel bad now. It was my lame attempt of a humerous compliment.
But seriously tho, did I say Wayne Gretzky, I meant Guy LaFluer...

That image looks like there should be a biplane flying through it, taking potshots at Cary Grant...

@dirtdiver - what did you notice that was different about his linkedin? I took some notes about that page before the first mission & everything still looks the same. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
=EDIT=
I reread our mission email & realized we only have until this Friday!
We better get going...
I believe the part about working for the CCCP was not on their before. It said Peak Oil before I believe.

I think I actually figure something out for once guys. I ran the image in the inspector in preview and it popped up some GPS coordinates that seem to be in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia. I have attached a screen shot so you can see what it looks like.
UPDATE :: Apparently on twitter nathaniel is talking about being in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Here is a screen shot.

That was already there before this mission. I wrote it down in the hopes of finding something on google, which I never did. Great job on the location tho!! I would have never thought to do that. Now, who do we send it to? After reading their last messages on twitter I'm not sure anymore. I don't have an account there - maybe you should ask so more questions about CCCP and what Nathaniel has planned...

I did ask him about where he went so quickly and I am awaiting a reply.

@dirtdiver - Saying he was in Venezuela and now finding out the pic gps is Saudi Arabia really makes sense since he's visited those countries before. I bet Iran might come up. I have to say again tho, genius on finding that out.
If you could, ask Nathaniel why he's gone solo - is he just paranoid or does he have a reason? I wonder if he knows who "the client" might be...

Yeah I asked him what trip and where did he go. ( he is very good about replying to me ) but remember in the wolfpack email it said that the picture was the best clue they had to his location so i'm thinking that the metadata off that pic has to be it. He could be posting on twitter to throw people off.

Oh I agree it's Saudi Arabia. I think his twitter is trying to throw us off too, i.e. giving us the L.A. coordinates (which BOOM studios are located in L.A., plus that whole bus trip thing Thurston talks about in his blog) and now Venezuela... I'm saying I wouldn't be suprised if we see some other countries that were listed in the mission 2 answers, like Iran & such.

I agree JK, I'll be interested to see what he keeps saying on twitter.

Looks like they're fighting together on Twitter... with Houston making allusions that CCCP and Wolfpack are both enemies of his. Now I'm even more confused as to who we should send the info to.
Good job with the metadata, Dirt Diver... didn't even know that kind of thing existed! Mission complete?

Who do we send the email to - the Wolfpack or CCCP? Before the first mission I read this interview with Sable @ CBR:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Without spoiling anything, this is eventually going to put them in a questionable moral position as Ripley. It's a game of skill, but it's also one where the players are going to have to make a choice with actual story consquences."

If I knew more about the client maybe it would be easier... Plus with Nathaniel freaking out on twitter, is sending the email to CCCP safe? Or is Wolfpack testing us?

Ok, so here's the way I see it:
Nathaniel Houston is about to do something pretty effing drastic, with both Veigh and Greisman freaking out on Twitter.
We basically are choosing who is going to stop him:
-Wolfpack (and Veigh, by association, who is pretty much a lunatic)
-CCCP (and Greisman, who look like they're about to bring nuclear armageddon)
Do you guys think not answering this mission counts as helping NH? I don't like chosing between the lesser of two evils...

You're right - looks like we're in a bit of a pickle here... I think we'll have to make a choice either way. I'm going to wait a little while longer b4 I decide; Dirtdiver has been communicating w/ him lately so maybe we'll get a little more info about what he has planned & if he still trusts CCCP
