TROGL and binder T - Training / Testing / Technology and
R - Research
O - Operations
G - Groom
L - Lake
The more I think about it, the more the Terrestrial Recovery makes sense - if they're recovering something that landed or crashed on the earth. Oh well, who knows?
RE: binder being circled - if it's supposed to be part of the password, did Josh decide to take the initiative to relay a password to mysterio? Neither of them mention that it's circled in the discussion. Maybe Josh is saying he will use binder and 5 for the Moby Dick issue # for a possible password of binder5. Otherwise there must be some other reason for the circled word and possibly the mark on the letters in backbone.

noodles -
The link in your post reminded me of something I recently read about Groom Lake by Trevor Paglen. He's a Berkeley grad who writes about the secret operations of the US military and intelligence called the 'black world'.
Here's a link to a pdf from berkeley.edu: http://bcnm.berkeley.edu/cnm201/readings/paglen_ViolentGeo.pdf
and here's an excerpt from the pdf:
Here's a link to his website: http://www.paglen.com/
There's a link on his website to an Authors@Google series video where he talks about secret missions and the funny names they're called and some of the goings on at Area 51. It's pretty interesting.
Here's a link to the video (it's about an hour long):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mApBa2qKVDM&feature=player_embedded

Pass Word Since the circled clue was Binder and the darkened word was connected to back. Couldit mean the backwards words- Frank Buck?
The words that were backwards and on the binder. I guess we won't know until Thursday.

Or the lost binder that fell off of his old Moby Dick book..

or look through the binders of certain books or I wrote something on a back binder and glued it back on the book .. or har hehe har..

Scroll down and you will find... different front covers of the comics ( 3 for Moby Dick )
Also almost at bottom there are lot of back covers of the comic books..maybe there some clues to find ????

Played a little with "TROGL "
Replaced every character with one what follows
So TROGL became USPHM
Googled USPHM braught me to a page
w w w . icegate.gov.in/jsp/port_code.jsp?alpha=P
description USPHM
Port code = USPHM
Country code = US
Portname = Prospect Harbor
then googled Prospect Harbor
well look for your self...
Maybe means nothing... just interresting and wanted to let you know ..
( Harbor , Fish , Coelacanth ????? )

USPHM Okay I admit that there is an UNCANNY allusion to prospect harbor Maine. The home of the last US sardine Cannery which closed this year. But other than that was there something else to look up? It has an old lighthouse, retired sardine cannery and a bell. Not sure what the connection is?

Interesting... but I'm going with TROGL = cave or underground. TROGL being written on the badge, hidden under the picture means this person was assigned to the underground facility at Area 51. The secret underground facility is where things went wrong, prompting the move to Ohio. The train has our creature and computer equipment which includes PDP-11s. Our IN Game PDP-11 is either one left at Area 51, or more likely, one salvaged from the train wreck and privately put up on the internet.
That's my current take on things.

STIES website STIES website Hi all,
I'm new to unfiction, but I've been following all this Super 8 stuff as closely as I can (both on Super 8 News and here). I just noticed today that when you bring up the STIES website, the browser title bar at the very top of the screen has 5 dashes and then 1 dash - 51. These forums tend to be a pile of random info, so I'm only adding to the pile. But I never noticed it before - it certainly supports the idea that the PDP-11 is from Area 51.
