Alrighty. I've been a little busy lately so I haven't had time to post here, but here's some stuff:

Based on the comments, it looks like some other people have already found http://followingyou9.wordpress.com/. I found it a few days ago while looking at those extra letters that were floating around, but it also involved a lot of guessing. I guess you can get there by contacting Pattie Down too. As for ESA, maybe it stands for, like, Empire Support Agent, or something.

Anyways, the next puzzle is getting into this file: followingyou9.wordpress.com/c-files/dun-troddan-report-extract-oct-2012-lair-czterdziestu-zlodziei/

Loopy linguistics people

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Lair czterdziestu zlodziei is Polish for 'Forty Thieves Lair'

Possibly Arabic for Open Sesame is 'iftah ya simsim'

Hence password = iftah ya simsim

Here's what I got so far. I've crossed out the names of the guys in the pictures and here is what is left. Can't tell if position is important.

No idea...but it seems too coherent to not be the answer...

Meanwhile, Foilhead mentioned a Lord Houl in his most recent post. There's a 729 page for him, but it doesn't have that much information: http://729-inc.wikidot.com/lord-houl

Wowza Spoonhead & Booba! Maybe Lord Houl's "tapho rite" is some weird form of Taphonomy & he's that Behind You tweeter who's so obsessed with his specimens. Shocked

Two out of three ain't bad. Reply from FOllowing You



Quote:
Well they are a definite possibility although I have a member of the Cypher team here with me and he thinks that the last word is incorrect based upon the fact the other two have nine letters and there is a nine in the last cell of the grid and that the word doesn't exist. He also believes that the portraits around the grid have something to do with the placing the letters he has gone all technical and it is way over my head.

I will however pass on your answers to the agents at Dun Troddan. Any other questions feel free to ask on the appropriate pages.


You just never know which words have made the dictionary in alternate timelines!

Edit for new word

Trying Insidious.

I agree, Insidious makes sense.

Here's some more info on the Outcast: http://729-inc.wikidot.com/dark-muse

And some new instructions: http://followingyou9.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/infiltrator-required/

New post on FollowingYou

Quote:
For those of you that have decided to be infiltrators into the 729 organization we have received information that the Janus Archive Guide Holden will visiting a private club in London for the next six days. This club is known by many in London's underworld to be seriously dangerous, why someone like Holden is going to be there is a question we want answered.

The club's name is: #RedRipper and it is located at: http://webchat.freenode.net/

Intelligence states that he will be there between 7pm and 11:45pm for the next 6 nights, we do not want to miss this chance of extracting information from him.

You are the fighters of the peace that is the Empire.


Not sure if I can attend as I have now been outed as an agent of the empire.

*Edit*

Samael Laemus is up and active on Facebook.

Sorry for the double but this may be interesting. Had a chat with Samael on FaceBook.

Quote:

Samael: Who do you work for?

Samael: Are you with the Empire?

Spoon: Undecided

Samael: A fence sitter then.

Spoon: No, just a student of history.

Samael: Why did you request my assistance?

Spoon: Was researching some past events and your name came up.
which events?

Samael: A student of history really, then you know about the Outcast then?

Spoon: Have heard the name but not as informed as I'd like.

Samael: The Outcast hides themselves, they are vile beasts of the earth and deserve nothing but death. Be careful about researching the past you might not like what you find.

Spoon: Thank you for the warning.

Samael: When you decide which side you want to be on come back and we will discuss your continued future further. The Empire doesn't stand a chance against us.

Chat Conversation End
