Michael,

I appreciate your dilligence but I'm sure I'm not going to be much help in this area. My assistant delivers my meals usually around 7, noon and 5 and I am free to move from my quarters to the outdoor yard at will. I am not really a prisoner at all by rule, I am instead a prisoner of who I am. Maintance is kept very tight in the areas that I frequent and there are currently no burned out lights, broken windows or leaky pipes. As for gaining access to the Brightman through the front door, I haven't a clue how that works anymore. Although I know that the CIA now runs the facility, my daily life - save for the decrease in visits - has remained unchanged. If you have maps you know more than I can tell you. I am grateful for your help and pray that you are able to get Detective King and Mr. Rage out to see me.

jenny

Not much help from the inside.

It's on folks. I got a reply from Rage this morning. We've got our work cut out for us. And I think we're going to have to call in the help of some old characters...

Quote:

Wulf, my friend, I can see that this is going exactly as it wasn't supposed to. The more you try to avoid your destiny, the more it climbs up your leg and bites your ass, eh?
So here's how it's going to have to work then.
I can get a boat and make sure that King gets out there, but since I unfortunately no longer have my normal tech resources available, your little folded brood is going to need to become my eyes in the sky.
You'll need to tap into the GPS feed from the Brightman so you can monitor all movements and we're going to have to set up a conference line so we can all be in communication while we're in there. A lot of this is going to depend on your team's actions under pressure.
A very serious caveat, you need to isolate where Lincoln is at and keep me clear of him. If we meet up, all bets are off and everything ends badly. You lose.

I have maintained all along that I involved your group in this for a reason, and this fallback plan is that reason. Don't let me down.

A.R.

I believe the best place to start with gaining access to the internal Brightman systems, is to contact Hatch (hopefully we have his email somewhere), from there - we need to figure out how to identify where Lincoln is - I see that being the tougher spot, unless Jenny can someone how help with that one.

Anyone interested in hacking some "government" systems?

lol - ding ding - that's the million $ question. I'm guessing the information classy and I get this weekend may pertain to that. Or we need classy to get back in touch with hatch, the former guard at Brightman to see if he can offer anything.

Unless, someone else has the email to Hatch - I don't remember seeing it. Schwinn - you're the email King - any ideas?

I'm down. This sounds like its going to be interesting, haha.

Well, we should do something instead of just waiting around. The only people that we know who have connections to the Brightman are Jessica (can't help us), Starr (presumably deceased), and Hatch. Unless I missed something (which is likely,) Hatch is our last option, barring info gained from the Con.

I don't know about you guys, but sending an email to "Brightmaninstitute" asking about ways to break into their GPS system just sounds like an all-around bad idea to me, haha.

For those who don't have Twitter and have been keeping up with all this, thought you might get a bit of a giggle like I did from our dear Courtney the Great:

clas1ca: (She's English and does lovely theatrics. I think I am more amused by her reading than her kid is. But there's that extra coincidence, too.)

It's a trap!

No one would suspect a British woman with a child to be a killer. Be careful Classi! Wink

OK, well I'm kind of kidding - that really sounds like a plant, considering just how weird this whole thing has been.

Thanks for the update Paperbound!

It's funny you say that. My buddies wife is a very paranoid young thing. I've told them both a little about this, and how involved it is. She has been worried for my safety over the past few days ever since I mentioned I was going to ARGfest. Saying things like I'm going to be kidnapped or killed. Because I mentioned that the PM's have done things like drop a package in my mailbox, vist classical at her work or follow Paperbound thru Gunbarrel
city. Entertaining to say the least.

For those of you not on Twitter, I'm sitting at the SLC airport waiting for my flight to Portland. I'm really looking forward to this weekend, full of intrigue and "cloak and dagger" stuff.
I'll update here and on Twitter as soon as there is something to report.

Have fun Wulf! Take lots of pictures! And whatever you do, don't get kidnapped or killed or something. After all, if that were to happen, I don't think we could finish the game! Razz

When we were first looking for Hatch, classical posted a craigslist ad and got contacted by this address:

water.tightSPLATlive.com

ETA: But the last time she'd messaged him, he told her it wasn't safe to contact him there anymore. Hmm.

Perhaps Jenny knows of a way we can contact him?

This is what I've done. We'll see how well it works.

I sent an email to Hatch at the live.com address. Told him there was a draft on another email address that would like his immediate attention. Taking a hint from another game, I added the gmail address he'd used to send the map (in the event that our PMs have somehow forgotten it) in white text, highlighted in white.

We know the password to the gmail address - I went in on there and created a short draft, stating that we need to know if there's a way to access the GPS feed.

EDIT: That was easy. Now it's up to Wulf and classi and whoever else has a shin-kicking agenda:

There is. As a fallback I believe Darren hid the info in the Portland package.

Nice work, Paperbound. Guess we play the waiting game now. Which just happens to be my least favorite game EVER, haha.

On a side note, I noticed earlier in the thread that you mentioned something about living near Gun Barrel. I was just there for the 4th of July. My friend's parents apparently own a good bit of land around Cedar Creek Lake, so we went down there and shot off some fireworks. Good times...
