Uh, looks to me like it reads August 15th 2009 at 23:00 >_>

w00t - I have the internets back! And I think I'm caught up again.

Couple of things - I wonder why someone would still be trying to game-jack this still? That poem by E.A. Poe (I thought it was the musical group Poe at first) almost seemed written for this story we've been following, which would say to me prior knowledge of what was going to occur/happen here. And to offer to know who started it all seems a bit moot at this point doesn't it? I have to admit, I did find it a bit intriguing that we might find a clue at Ari's grave (that's the way I read it anyway).

@Classy - I had the same thought about the "be discreet" bit. We did have our own place for a bit, but like you said there wouldn't be anyway to keep it secret, and yet still have everyone involved....? Plus I thought it rather entertaining when the PM's had no idea where we were, or what we were discussing.

And I believe the latest warning, about the breach of security on 8/15 points to them expecting us to hack the system at that time. Which could mean they're expecting everything else. Perhaps we should start using the iRC chat a bit more again, at least as a way to plan a few things out. And anyone that isn't able to join, we can PM them the information...? Seems awfully complicated to hide something that the PM's know we're going to do anyway.. lol
But in the interest of keeping "in character" - I think we should consider a different date/time for the rescue of Jenny. To keep the Agency off-balance as it were. *waves at the Agency*.

To the part about the map, and point indicators on it - I still believe that the swirly on the original one indicated where Brightman is. And don't forget, we're supposed to be hacking into their GPS tracking system - not to feed them incorrect information, but so as to be able to direct Rage/Port in the right direction(s). My first thought when I saw that new blip off the coast of Cali, was an incoming vessel, or possible a patrol boat? Perhaps all of the blips that we're currently seeing are an indicator of where lookouts are stationed. We do have to consider the approach to Brightman, and we'd have to assume that the government isn't simply staring at a camera pointed at the front door. They're going to be covering different areas of approach, at the very least for an early warning system, if not to outright stop any incursion. My guess is, it's the Agency's version of the Watchers, in some form or another.

Ok - back to getting my 'puter back up to speed. Could someone send me the link to the wiki? I've lost all of my email addresses/websites/information...

[classical]

Oooh. Finally. Got me an email from our tattooed man:

[ironnikki]

Man... I should have known better than to think that this plan could have gone off without a hitch, haha. And I'm thinking that we should definitely look into a private convo space. Like you said, classical, any hacker with "street cred" would be able to find his way in without too much issue, but if we're really supposed to find a private method of communication, I don't think that we'll be found. I say we try out classical's idea, and see where it gets us. Furthermore, we can invite Rage and Port into our little private area to direct them without prying eyes. uF forums are strictly OOG, but that doesn't mean that our new one has to be.

Since Bricker has been so "quiet" lately - not that we ever really communicated with him that much to begin with - I sent him a quick tweet, asking if all was well, and if anything new and exciting had occurred.

If I don't hear anything back from him by tomorow - I'll try email instead. He only recently started using Twitter at ARGfest - so I kinda doubt that will continue.

GPS portal watch continues...

I was just re-reading through the last few pages, and a few things caught my attention:
The coded message from Randal, states "I won't be what you think". Are we now getting into Illuminatus! territory? In that series of books, there was an intelligent speaking dolphin, named Howard. And back to what ironnikki said in regard to "Do you know what and do you know why?". Maybe in the most general sense we do. We know what our next task is, but overall? And I certainly don't know what Brian needs to do..
One other thing - it says we must be prepared to meet Randall. I think we've skipped that part. We started to arrange a time and place for us to get together to get Jenny out - but have left Randall completely out of the loop! Or did we acknowledge with him, that we'd meet with him?

So I sent an email to Randall as well - asking in vague terms, what a good way to communicate with him would be, and that we'd be willing to meet with him. I suppose we'll see what comes of it.

[ironnikki]

Good thinking, Wulf. I had forgotten that Randall had asked us to meet with him. As far as I remember, we haven't gotten back to him about that. I wonder if he can help us plan our next move?

[Wulf74]

Got a reply back from Randall - I feel slightly embarrassed..

[ironnikki]

Haha, alright, well then that answers the question about whether or not to proceed as planned on the 15th. I don't suppose someone can remind me what locations Rage has tweeted about?

My feed reader has a small cache of JJDeMolay's tweets. Unfortunately, it only goes back to April 20th and he only mentions two places:

[ironnikki]

That makes sense, classical. Unfortunately, we don't really have any way to be sure until Randall gets back to us. I'm not sure if we get to choose, or if he's just going to tell us "Be at X in two days." Hopefully the former.

In any case, out of all of those mentioned, the only one remotely close to me is Oklahoma City, and that's still about 3 hours away (even more if I'm back in school before our meeting time.)
