Indeed.

However, I've taken the liberty of setting up a couple IRC channels for the events that are going down tomorrow.

Here's the instructions I posted in the OOC thread over on the 2K fora:

I took a long lunch break and managed to get over to Lorum Ipsum Books. All the pages in the book are glued together, and it opens up to a hollowed out compartment in the middle of the book that contains a few documents and pictures.

Citizen One Book
Book Photo

There's a bunch of shredded paper inside, that I think compromises a couple more documents, I'll get pictures of those up if I manage to piece them together. I'll also take a picture of the inside of the book and post it when I get a chance, there's another photo glued in there.

Just curious if anyone from unfiction was there? I forgot to ask while we were standing in line.
I was the guy with the little redheaded boy.

I put together the shredded documents and it seems that instead of having two complete documents like I thought, I have three partial ones.

Document 1
Document 2
Document 3

I can't make much sense out of them.

I wonder if all the shredded papers are the same. I will work on putting mine together and see if I got the same as you. maybe they put the rest in another box.

The shredded papers in mine turned out different from JohnnyCon7's. They're the same papers, I think, just different chunks of it, with some overlap. A friend helped me create a transcription of two of the documents, and a partial transcription of a third with a tentative extrapolation (there's a missing chunk in the center). Would appreciate others checking the transcription with their own pages and giving thoughts on the extrapolation. Smile

Sorry, it's going to be a rather long post...

Document 1:

Message via AIRTEL

Director, <blank>

FROM: FIELD OFC / LAWRENCE KS

RE: INTERNAL NVESTIGATION PROCEDURE - I.D.D

Assigned directly by Deputy Director I.D.D. to participate
in mission -- distributing classified information to "fringe"
characters in exchange for psuedo-scientific information of
dubious value. (Contact <blank> is failed
science-fiction author with colorful arrest record (narcotics,
pandering <blank>). Now experimenting with "cloudbusting"
technology and supposed "lost Tesla technology".

Machinery broken/ not working but the Deputy Director has
personally teleponed us on numerous occassions, to state his
belief than the technology may have "military application."
Dep. Dir. Authorized us to release classified internal reports
on weather <blank> so subject could "compare notes."

Tense relationships at I.D.D. Field Ofc. between departments,
with numerous internal disputes related to funding /
conflicting theories. Contempt for classification restrictions
in many departments. SCIENG division notorious for freely
distributing docs rated <blank> and higher to Personnel
with no background clearance and/or "need to know." Contant
refrain is "rule out nothing" -- apparently regardless of basic
logic or reason. Scathing commentary on PROJECT <blank>, PROJECT
SIGN and PROJECT <blank>. Agents often describe these
investigations as "white washes" and/or "cover-ups."

Wild / outlandish theories entertained casually. Evidence of
obviously faked hoaxes (e.g. "<blank>" style photos) filed as
legitimate evidence, as are tabloid articles regarding apparent
paranormal phenomena. Serious career officers complain about
the tenor of investigation and plot ways to escape from dept.

RECORDED - 18

Document 2:

TOP SECRET

THE <BLANK> HOUSE
WASHINGTON

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY <BLANK>

Dear Mr. R<BLANK>:

Per our recent conversation, I hereby authorize
you to form the Internal Defense Directorate to initiate
Project Enemy Unknown.

The heads of the other departments and agencies have
been briefed on the urgency of this matter and I have
ordered them to facilitate the rapid organization of
the ad hoc committee necessary to launch the investigation
phase codenamed Operation Hermes. It is my hope that we
dispense with the ordinary bureaucratic hurdles to provide
this office with all necessary resources.

As discussed, Mr J. <BLANK> is the obvious
choice to serve as the Director. However, I strongly
recommend that <blank> be appointed Deputy
Director. His tough-minded assessment of this situation
has proven instrumental in clarifying the necessity of
investigation.

Great work Kayana! Would you mind posting that on the CSW Bulletin Board on the 2K Forums? We've been struggling to find all the pieces to fit everything together and this would help a lot.

Almost forgot I initially signed up for this.

Received a phone call while I was on the crapper, luckily I don't answer phone calls while doing so and let it go to google voice.

Automated message has morse code that translates to www.tomatopowderkeg.com and to standby for activation

My phone call was about them intercepting a delivery or something for the citizens of san francisco and something about a drawer number 14158179975 was the number

Set up two more IRC channels for this weekend, as well as one for overall Citizen Skywatch chatter.

Server's the same - irc.synirc.net - but the channels are as follows:

#CitizenSkywatch (main discussion channel)
#MercuryTeacup (for Operation: MERCURY TEACUP)
#TomatoPowderkeg (for Operation: TOMATO POWDERKEG)
