 		I tried to get the image to my brother to see if he can interpret it - but his phone couldn't view it, and as I just landed - haven't had a chance to send it via email yet.

Thanks for heading out there Obs - it's a huge help!

 		Got this earlier this afternoon:

klokworkalex: I really don't know what drives that crazy fuck. As for Starr...I mean honestly...what the hell? No clue who to trust now. I might as well.
klokworkalex: I got dropped off in a place called Petaluma and am in the library. How do I get in touch with Starr? Is my yahoo e-mail safe?


Texted Bernie about trying to find a way to meet with him that isn't email--haven't heard back yet!

edit;; ok, Bernie finally responded; forwarded Port the number he was texting from. So here's to hoping that this Bernie is for real this time. /cross fingers

 		Anyone have any luck in locating W.T. Hatch? I have tried a bunch of different emails with no luck.

I haven't had much of a chance to do anything with this yet - I did check Twitter for a few things, but no dice. Nothing under WTHatch, OracleWatcher, and variations thereof.

I know we're missing something, but I haven't had a chance to do any digging yet. Have we tried checking the phonebook in Keystone for him? It's not out of the realm of possibility that he's another real person as well...

 		so hi
Here is a new lurker trying to help. Don't be suspicious, just a teen with some free time.
I did read all pages, but if I do say something stupid, trout away!
We have the drawing found on the grave, right?
Remember the "chinese" key?
The drawing look like chinese symbols to me, but I have no idea what they mean.
Maybe they can help us further?
That's just me thinking Smile

Welcome, and no worries about the repeating. I've already forwarded that pic to my brother (mentioned a few posts back Smile ) to have him see if he can interpret them. Still waiting to hear back.

There are six different listed 'Hatch'es in Golden, CO (where Keystone Light is brewed)... none of them fit, though. No one there has a 'W' name.
...
... but uh, there is one in Arvada. A William T Hatch, no less. These search results are incorrect in listing that there's two in Colorado--there's only one. He must've moved recently. Looks like he's been all over Colorado.

However, he's never lived in Golden, CO, so I dunno. ;\


From Bernie as of this morning:

Rrrr. This better be for real this time. If it's in code with an SOS hidden in it, I'm gonna scream.

 		I think you're right on, Dominix. We've received chatter of "Chinese word for key'," and a 10-yuan note, so I'd say that we should try to find someone who reads Chinese to interpret the symbols on the drawing.

Holmes turned and looked at me, "The obvious answer is not always the answer and traversing that path can set you frighteningly far from where you need to be." I looked at the tattered map in my hand and sighed.


Call me crazy! but maybe we should step away from the phone book. :B

 		Just checked oraclewatch.org and found this staring back at me. Maybe we shouldn't be looking for Hatch in Colorado at all?

 		Hahah - I've said it a few times - I love the PM's cluebats. Never subtle - but always funny.
Durh - the Keystone state. Of course, it was never mentioned we were looking for a state - so it was easy to make the assumption we did. But still - the cluebats always make me chuckle.


=edit=
Looking at the Hazeltine pic - I looked through Warren's city website, looking for Hatch - but no dice. I'm not sure what the CL initials are for - unless we're looking in the phonebook again for a CL Hatch, rather than WT. I'll check..

 		Whoops. Somewhere, there is a PM repeatedly banging his head against a desk.


Remember looking for Dr. Starr? CL = Craigslist.
There are no listings for W T Hatch or anything of the sort in Warren or the entire Erie area but... what if we put out an ad? Actually, screw it, I'm totally going to. :B

 		woooo

Quote:
Court,

It seems like these last two months have lasted a hell of a lot longer than two months. I am sitting in Dr. Starr's living room right now facing a huge bay window that overlooks the town of Bodega Bay and the dark blue ocean beyond. He pointed out the Brightman, but from here it looks more like nothing but a dark rock sticking out of the distant water. He says that I will be able to see it better tonight due to the lights -- if the weather is clear.
Oh God, where to begin. First of all, Starr said that I should probably only use this account one more time and then not push my luck. So I'm going to try and make it count but I have to go fast because some of what I want to tell you I can't have Starr seeing. Although Starr apparently started the Watcher group with some of the original Brightman staff and others who were impacted by the Oracle, Darren told me that Starr lost control of them the same way he lost control of the entire Oracle Project. I will agree that Starr really likes himself -- almost to the point of distracion! So the Watchers, initiated solely to protect the Oracle, started to develop a bit of a larger focus once Starr appeared at their meetings less and less. The Watchers also included a pretty strong network of CIA and NSA employees all funneling information back to Darren. I guess recently, many of these "secret Watchers" have been suffering, though. Odd car crashes, falls in showers, child porn appearing on home computers, that kind of thing. A Watcher safe house burned mysteriously in Baton Rouge and right before Rage showed up in California, they had lost contact with the group in Arvada. They were systematically being choked off and isolated.
And then Rage happened. That man is like something from a movie. Just a killing machine trailing empty shells and blood and silence, you know? It came down to Holly and I hiding in an upstairs pantry, listening to the mayhem down below us and Holly whispered that it was all going to come down to me and your team, Courtney. I asked what she meant and she said that I was going to have to get into the Brightman, destroy what was left of Lincoln (?), and bring the Oracle out. That the Watchers had already had a plan worked out, but with the recent events -- including Rage killing everyone in the Garden Grove house -- it was over. She also said that you need to get what was left of her father's information on "Black Beauty" because it would be critical to our success. She said that "they were already in play" (does that make sense?) and that we had to hide our plan from Starr because he would refuse to help if it meant bringing the Oracle out.
Rage then smashed through the door and in the struggle between the three of us I got knocked out. When I came to, I was lying on the old linoleum of the kitchen surrounded by the broken pieces of the pantry door. Holly was gone and Rage was sitting at the kitchen table wiping his hands with a dish towel. After a minute he looked over at me and I swear, Courtney, that man was fighting back tears. I've seen that look a thousand times. I've been there a thousand times. "What do you think of me?" He said. I was still waiting for him to kill me and was totally unprepared for a conversation so I just shrugged. "What...do...you...think...of me?" I was honest and told him that I didn't know what to think of him other than that he was a monster. He just nodded slightly, stood up and said, "I haven't always been one." And then he was gone, out the front door and into the crappy neighborhood.
I went down to the basement to see if anyone needed help but there was nothing that I could do.
I'm staying with Starr while he figures out how to get me out to the Brightman, since he insists on me still meeting with her.
I hope you and your friends have a plan -- since I'm STILL not sure if anything that I am saying makes sense. Last night I dreamt that I was still in that little cell under DC and all of this stuff had been a dream. I was actually disappointed when I woke up, since I can deal with a little concrete cell much better than I can deal with the last few weeks.
Take care, be safe and I guess just call Starr if you need to get in touch with me. I'm depending on you for so much and when this is all over, I'm going to buy you a drink.

As always,

Port


Bolds are mine; I think those are the important parts.
