Even spelled EVEN, the ETH link is still there. What if Mysterio went to ETH. Every scientific mind of the 30's-50's went there.
Just an idea. Since he mentions Ted Hall just before he asks if josh understands.

There was a sentence in previous chat like "he trusted me when others didn't"

And now with "your goverment" i'm sure that mysterio isn't american. But he wasn't Russian either - if he was Russian in those years they wouldn't let him work for secret american projects. I think he was some slavic guy - for example - Polish people were treated like Russians by americans in those times . There are even some classic sci fi stories mentioning this (like the one from Asimov - "Spell my name with S" ) Just read the description of the story :

But its not EVEN TED HALL - its even Ted Hall couldnt help me. As Ted Hall being an entirely different person. Part of Manhattan project (His brother being Edward a ROCKET scientist, who helped built intercontinental ballistic missiles) was thought to have been a spy, but the project they were working on was to important to put him through the a trial.

When M says
"I shouldnt have gone myself, i'm too old now.."

Do you suppose he is saying that he actually went to FFSH and found the letter from Josh's dad there under the stairs?


Now, after taking that trip, he sees that another trip is necessary to nevada to look for Mr Minker as his Vitas Relic but he realizes he is too old to do this now and Josh will have to continue the search.

Whats confusing is where did the maps come from..How did M get them to post in the first place? And, just how does Mr Minker know that Josh and M are now working together? Who told him? Does M really know where he is ? Someone must have been in touch with him. Hmmm...

"Your father was being watched. By people in your government. I think he still is." This quote caught me as a little off. Why would he use the term "YOUR GOVERNMENT"? Is M not an American citizen? If not where is he from? Anyways keep up the great job guys Smile

Yeah i made that point about the stairs, i think thats exactly what happend. My guess is that we are getting peice by peice of the map and wil have a full map by the end of the ARG. Im thinking maybe the numbers corrispond to where the next location of Josh's Dads notes will be.

He must know they're together because Josh must have given him the comic and that told him where the notes are.

Someone pointed out this and I think they may be right. What the numbers are specific locations i.e the new point 75.125. And when we have 3 locations we can find the location 0.0 which is where the vitas relic is located.

I agree AVR, we have 2 physical points on a map, FFSH and Rachel.

With another, which I'm sure will come in time, we MAY be able to triangulate a fourth location where "something" is.

untricky, Yes lets hope. I fear things may be moving slow again. I thought that they might update the editing room, but no luck Sad.

But I also feel the "finding" of things is left to the ARG characters rather than us and we just follow their reports as such.

Agreed.. It kind of feels as if the only thing we are working on is passwords and such. And those passwords just lead to the rest of the story, not us actually attempting to find information ourselves

I suppose we're all hoping that one more location will lead to the Holy Grail, and yet as Melodyman has elaborated on, this is more like we're being tossed crumbs and being asked to reassemble them into the cake from which they fell. One crumb seems to fit with this one and "hey that one over there, and what about this new one," but in the end we haven't got a cake, we haven't even got an outline of a cake, nor do we even know that it's a cake we're supposed to piece together.

It's rather like being in the car with the folks and going to some location we've never been to before.

"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"When are we going to be there?"
"When we get there!"
"When's that?"
"When we're there!"
"How will we know we're there?"
"We'll tell you!"
[Now wouldn't it be much more enjoyable for all along for the ride if those in control would point out "We'll be passing this place first, and you'll know that it's this place because it looks like this," and they elaborate, and then point out what to look for next, and so on, so that we, the passengers, will know that we're on the right track and not going around in circles, but actually making headway.]

Sure this is not real, but the PMs have set this up for some reason. To entertain, to enlighten, or to infuriate the ones they've invited on the ride? If this ARG was a movie who would still be around for the end? Evil or Very Mad

Just frustrated and blowing off some steam after a bout with the flu, but really, couldn't this article be stitched together with a common thread we can follow?

Yep, I'm sure though we'll all pony up for our patches and shirts from Van Allen's Belts and Slacks for the Big and Tall featuring Super Duper Cooper Trooper Two-fer Day--buy two and get the third one for twice as much as the first two! Quantities are Limited, and we reserve the right to not sale to malcontents! Embarassed

Guess I should'a read the fine print before my rant, but is this really any way to treat your fans? I know, "What a silly question!"
