 		I guess we'll learn in time what RGO stands for, but it's also phonetically Argo.


Edit - check out who Claire now is on Facebook...

Got a feeling it stands for Royal Greenwich Observatory.

 		Perhaps it's me, but Claire is now named "Claire Vanessa Atalanta" on facebook. I think she was referring to changing family trees.

As an aside, it is just 11:45AM BST. So what happens in 75 minutes, if the ministry is now something ... else?

 		Spot on, celendis. Even V's tribal page is changed to About Claire Atalanta's family PW 'tho is still (atm Sad ): vanessaatalanta.

ETA: "The friends of Vanessa Atalanta", Claire's NING has also been deleted. Also, V's Yahoo blog entries are being wiped.

From that article: "Beyond the Kingston campus, the university has an International Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle, East Sussex, England, formerly the home of the Royal Greenwich Observatory."

 		Ancaeus has edited his RGO topic A new day' in fiction and has attached his father's letter to it there..

 		And there is a coded message in it:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
my true rest will be near a clearing in the woods

Know that I love all of you always


Tiphys' letter reads like a note of acceptance, that he understands he will die but is OK with it, and knows his children will carry on his work and "will continue to make Greenwich strong."

Why does he say Ancaeus will "be a key in [his] future work"? What does he mean when he says "my death-day will have echoes for a long time within the powers that will be harnessed by [Einstein]"?

I think, maybe, finding this clearing is our next step.

We might still be able to change our minds, by the way...didn't the Ministry say we had until the END of May 23 to poison Tiphys? I'm not saying we should...just something to keep in mind.

ETA: Claire Vanessa Atalanta is now a member of the MoA--er, RGO--Ning, and her current Facebook status is "Claire Vanessa Atalanta is totally running late for college!! Hope Miss Rennet won't be too mad!!!"

Sounds like we have the old V (as in the ditz V) back...in Claire.

 		I think changing things again may be tricky - would the characters even have access to the machine, let alone the desire to activate it again.

As for where the woods are - it could be Greenwich park, although there aren't so many trees. I suspect it could be nearer to the campus of the RGO. Perhaps in the next chapter?

 		Just had a very short chat with Claire, before my computer decided to act up:

Quote:
8:21am Me
Girl, you'd better get going! No time to chat!

8:22am Claire
hey!!!
I'm on the bus lol

8:22am Me
ok, good Smile

8:23am Claire
haved been up all night working on my paper on poe!! She loves him so have to get it right!! hence taking a class on a sunday
yawn

8:24am Me
that's dedication for ya Smile
is she a good teacher?

8:25am Claire
yeah she's ok
strict though, with mad scary eyes!!! reminds me of a crow waiting to peck them out!!!

8:29am Claire
my eyes that is lol

8:29am Me
heh Smile
hey, been meaning to ask you - how's your family doing?

8:30am Claire
my family?
do you mean mum?

8:30am Me
(also, my computer is acting up, so if I get dumped from chat suddenly or stop responding I'm really sorry)

8:30amClaire
nagging as always
thats ok

8:32am Claire
you can keep me company on my bus ride

8:34am Claire
so how are you?


and that's all we got to chat due to technical difficulties. When I got back to Facebook, she was gone.

Interesting that her Facebook profile is still pretty much the same, though her little description box thing now says "...you can be me when I'm gone..." Thought about asking her in chat what all the discussions about security cameras and such were about, but didn't get to, and was just playing along with the new C for the most part. Because of this mostly-unchangedness, there is discrepancy between her b-day on Facebook and her b-day on Tribal Pages.

The game has now drawn to a close, with all ties [bar one] being gathered up.

Thank you.
Hope you enjoyed it

Actually, they're both the same now, sorry Smile.

ETA: also, Aethalides/Crescent has posted a pic of a statue of Alan Turing to the RGO Ning, as well as a final forum thread quoting the final chapter of Alice in Wonderland. If you look at the picture by going through Aethalides' profile & looking at his photo albums, rather than by clicking on the "Photos" link at the top of the Ning, you will see Crescent's dedication for the game. Nice touch Smile.

 		Ok, I admit I've been out of the picture for a while. I kinda fell off at the end of this game. Been distracted with both this and that.

But I got an email today (and I assume ya'll did too). From the RGO, our now-altered MoA. Apparently the last loose thread wants to be found.

A message to all members of RGO

Dear student,

As you may have experienced on campus [or, if you are registered off site, you may not be aware], the disappearance of our second in department of Classical Literature has caused a great deal of consternation and thus the online literary discussions for which you have signed up for have not taken place.

We do hope that Professor Oeagrusson is well* and would like to reassure any who were under him that the university will be fully understanding of your project works.

*Should anyone have information about Professor O., please do contact your department administrator as soon as possible.

Thank you.

No hidden text (I checked the email's raw source). Prof O must of course be Orpheus, our missing man. Now to dig him up.

 		Dig him up may be quite appropriate!! I suspect he may have turned back the clocks, as it were.

 		Coffee Found Professor Oeagrusson's twitter accnt: https://twitter.com/Oeagrusson with intriguing bio, Orpheus Avatar etc.

Professor Oeagrusson wrote:
Just received an alert.Poor fools at the old #ministry,do they not realise they're just shadows of what they once were.Not everyone forgot..

and

Solstice literally means "sun still" (Jun 21 2010 at 7:28 AM EDT) and in Greek Mythology Orpheus is the son of Oeagrus Very Happy Cool

 		Great catch, Am. Does this mean we'll be waiting till the solstice before anything happens? But I'll be gone from the 23rd! D:
