I just tried to reconstruct page 62 and 63 from the excerpts I found on google books - hope that helps:

62
on a gas-mask from the nearly recent war, of my face being absorbed by its aromatic black rubber interior and taint of antique fear

Many employed stratagems of augury before they came; but their observation of the avian paths afforded them no insight, for their futures would be altered by the very fact of entering the factory.

They had no thread of ariadne. Of necessity, the story they had entered comprised many stories, yet their diverse personal narratives an many-layered time-scales evinced glimpses of an

Or according to another narrative, the factory contained a great secret. Beneath the ankle-deep oily water that covered the terrazzo floor of one particular murky corridor, discarded or lost objects could be detected

63
They called this the zone. The zone was not the factory, though it was of the factory and bore its aura. It was an interactive blueprint, not virtual, but narrative reality. It was called the zone in order to distinguish it from all other enclaves into which the previous city had been long divided, those were proper nouns with lineages of real names and topography behind them - shankil, falls, ardoyne, rosetta - and their nomenclators were maintained in high esteem. It was they who had been first consulted when the Zone appeared. Period eye-witness accounts are notoriously unreliable, though it is retrospectively agreed that something happened. some saw it as a tremor of the atmosphere, a visible shivering as if some new colour had been added to the spectrum; others felt the city bodily lifted up

One observer described, with great reluctance, how a brobdingnagian space vehicle had materialized above the city, its argus multitudes of portholes blinking in an alien morse. Pods had then evolved in lifeboat mode from the womb of the mother.

so now we have a digital lock as well as a physical one..

but where do we start searching??

[Naglfar]

Do we? What are these locks?

All the discussion is on twitter and most of it is untagged. It's kind of irritating because I can't keep up with what's currently being talked about.

To give you a heads up:

theragtrade showed a countdown and a postcode.. this postcode is the one that lead to the street no alibies is on..

the "eraser" marks on the page is the outline of the logo of no alibies.. the bookstore..

Apparently Ana got another plastic sheet with some "holes" in it.. check the blog for the full views.

the clue that invisible belfast gave us on this was:

I have been delving into the writing of carson and I noticed one thing...

the key was found in a book about the cattle raid, with a bull on the front..
We also had a reference to minos, therefore the minotaur..

the minotaur was located in the centre of the labyrinth of Minos..

Looking at the work of Carson, the irish for no (which cover surprisingly shows the map we are looking at all the time) where the ruins of the smithfield market suggest a minotaur at the hearth of belfast..

guys check page 49 of the bookfestival booklet:

http://www.crescentarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BookFest_Bro-SMALL.pdf

those symbols match the signs on the key...

would this be the lock?

Naglfar, I have been trying to stick to using #invisbelfast for all my tweets.
There is also a lot of useful stuff on the wiki.

[Naglfar]

Hm, well, it's definitely worth a look down at the Teatro Cabaret Restaurant then, don't you think?

[draghkar]

Added a section on Ana's dad on the wiki, please add to it with information you have on him..

personally I think he is still alive, but that is my hunch..

what do you guys think??

[Naglfar]

I won't rule out that he's still alive. We hear he committed suicide, but at no point did we learn how he did it. Hm.

[draghkar]

nor where he is buried or something.. maybe I need to ask Ana..

[Naglfar]

I don't think I know of a way to ask that reliably wouldn't make Ana react negatively in some way. You can try if you like.

the envelope from Aster leads us to page 101 of the star factory. and from there to a new page:
