Yep, and Wallace and Wales are similar.

Has anybody cracked the "udc_med_cg.7z" password?
I'm thinking that udc could be Undiscovered Country (or Conspiracy).

We also have the "2-ft104" and "10awaw - tec fef.txt"

Modal - I was thinking about following the Ley Lines. Theres a large crossing point of a number of Ley Lines which is west of Membury in a place called Beckhampton, I wondered whether that might be where Edward was heading.

Just speculation of course, I couldn't see a lot else he could be going for yet.

I like that idea.

Here's what I've been thinking about (I hope it's not totally misguided)

Things that the 2 book pictures have in common with each other:

The following books:

Mind Monsters - Jenny Randles
Beowulf - Seamus Heaney
Solaris - Stanislaw Lem
Interesting Times - Terry Prachett
Winners Guide To Omaha Poker - Ken Warren
Farmer in the Sky - Robert Heinlein
Red Dwarf - Grant Naylor
The Haunter of the Dark - H P Lovecraft
Roget's Thesaurus The Everyman Edition - Peter Roget
Chaos - James Gleick
The Soft Machine - William Burroughs
Naked Lunch - William Burroughs
The Levelling Dust - T John Ward
Jackanapes - T John Ward
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
The Roman Army 31 BC-AD 337 A Sourcebook - Brian Campbell

The creation date: 1/3/2008

Stuff only the 1st picture has:

The Ringworld Engineers
Anvil of Stars
The Fortean Times magazine ("pointing" to the "Winner's Guide to Omaha Poker" or just the word "Guide". Omaha Poker is the 2nd game (the O) in the card game H.O.R.S.E. We have been provided with other references to horses (a Cock Horse, a horn-less Unicorn). I have suggested The Uffington White Horse and now possibly the word "gambol" - what horses do.

Stuff only the 2nd picture has:

Explaining The Unexplained
The Faber Book of Nonesense Verse
An Experiment With Time

Things that the 2 book pictures have in common with the Black Box:
Gambling (Omaha Poker, the wagering part of the Black Box).

We have (from the Black Box) Undiscovered Country and The Sleeper. (possible tie-in from Hamlet: "death,The undiscover'd country" and "Pours the poison into the sleeper's ears" both in Act 3.)

Looking for more connections to Fortean Times and the books, I did find the author of "Mind Monsters" Jenny Randles, is a regular contributor to FT. She's written over 50 books, mostly dealing with UFO's, and is credited for coining the phrase, "Oz Factor". More about her and the Oz Factor here.
