 		Well this is disappointing. Thanks danish for your retrieval effort. Did you notify the Mechanic about the drop failure? By the way, just where was the parking garage?

 		The Robert Jacobsen parking garage was, in fact, conveniently located on Robert Jacobsens Vej. It's parallel to the other road.

Eta: just notified the Mechanic

 		...and then the contents of the Malmų drop were uploaded by the Mechanic.

Ah, things have been running smoothly (in regards to retrievals, at least) since the great Chicago mishap. I certainly hope this is not another, and it seems it is not. I have been made aware that our friend Danish (that is his callsign, or just a wonderfully tasty name) has had troubles locating the fragment in his city. An operative on the ground has contacted you, Danish, to assist you. They have contacted me and confirmed that the package is still there, but apologize for the inadequate instruction. They have left it in it's place for you to retrieve, but please view their messages of assistance before you head out again.

Well that's reassuring at least. Good luck with the next attempt. I assume that won't be until tomorrow?

 		Yeah, it can't be tonight I'm afraid. Not to worry, I'm told it will still be there tomorrow...

 		Thanks danish for your efforts to recover the fragment for us. Sorry it has been something of a bother. Hope the fragment gives us something meaty to chew on.

 		Bingo: found it. Not at all what I was looking for.

About to upload photos to twitter, but it's a vacuum sealed bag with an envelope inside.

More to follow...

 		Good job danish! I don't think any of us expected an envelope. But there was an envelope in LA as I recall. Interesting that there is no artwork this time.

 		Great job, danish! Thanks.

Here's my transcript of French found in Copenhagen fragment:

Quote:
Cette guerre a tout detruit. Ma maison, ma famille, et mon ame. Ce n'est que cette coquille qui reste. Pour remplir a nouveau la vie ne sera pas

facile, mais ce bateau peut etre mon sauveur. Tous les objets de valeur ont ete detruits ou pris, et ma seule chance de monter sur ce bateau etait

a cacher, profondement au dessous, ou je peux cacher des travailleurs de la chaufferie. Les rats sont les seuls qui me trouvent.
Je suis sur d'aller a l'ouest me donne une residence beaucoup plus spacieux pendant que je suis ici. Tres peu de fournitures en cours en Amerique.

J'ai ete a bord au moins deux jours, mais il est difficile d'eter certain. Ce nest pas desagreable, mais, hier soir, je me suis senti un fort

desir d'air frais, alors je me suis faufile a travers une trappe d'entretien jusqu'a la troisieme plate forme, et me dirigeai vers la poupe. L'air

etait chaud, mais il se sentait frais sur mes poumons fatigues, malades avec de la fumee depuis le dessous du navire. Un homme et sa femme se

tenaient au garde corps, donnant sur le noirceur. Leur fille tenant une poupee qui devait etre cousu. Comment merveilleux.

Chaque fois, je manoeuvrer a travers la trappe. J'aime voir l'homme et sa femme. J'aime voir la petite fille joue avec sa poupee. Sans eux, je

ne suis rien. Sans ma memoire d'eux, il devient plus semblable a la memoire d'une photographie. Je peux les voir. Je peux voir son visage, mais

il n'est plus comme elle est en face de moi. Ils ne sont que des ombres. J'ai besoin de voir l'homme et sa femme et la jeune fille s'en souvenir,

si je passe par la trappe. Je viens a l'autre extremite. Je l'ai fait plusieurs fois. Fois assez pour savoir precisement le mouvement pour ne

pas se faire prendre.
Mais quelque chose a change. Comme je marchais dans le couloir vers la cage d'escalier a la plate forme severe, une femme m'a passe. Une femme

d'une chevelure blonde aux yeux verts. Je la regardais comme je regardais un fantome moi-meme. Comme je l'ai dit, j'ai traverse ce couloir

suffisamment de fois pour savoir que les visages ne changent pas. Mais elle etait la. Elle etait differente.

Je suis sur que je ne l'ai jamais

vu avant. Elle me regarda comme je suis passe. Et elle me regardait d'une facon qui n'a rien pour m'aider a consolider davantage l'idee que

cetter femme etait une impossibilite fait. Elle me regarda comme si elle avait vu un fantome. Et comme nous avons cherche a l'autre, chague

consultant comme nous avions vu un fantome, je suis toujours pas sur si la facon dont elle se tourna vers moi, c'etait simplement une reponse a la

facon dont je la regardais. ou si elle etait veritablement comme chaque d' me voir. Il est impossible. Je ne vais pas l'ecrire de peur de faire

ce vrai.
Je ne vais pas ecrire.
Je ne vais pas ecrire, je ne vais pas ecrire,
je ne vais pas ecrire, je ne vais pas l'ecrire je
ne veux pas

Je ne savais pas a quoi m'attendre quand je suis revenu a cet endroit. Il est tout de meme. Les noms et les visages n'ont pas change. Je ne peux

meme pas etre certain de ce que je m'attendais a tout. Une fois que j'ai vraiment realise ce qui s'etait passe, je pense que je croyais que

j'etais peut-etre en train de changer quelque chose. Mais, je comprends maintenant, je suis tout simplement un petit morceau de puzzle, et ma

forme et la couleur n'a pas change. J'ai fiat mon chemin a travers la trappe et sur le pont. L'homme et sa femme. L'enfant jouant avec sa

poupee. Si seulement ils savaient.

Le temps est vide de sens, mais il est tout pour moi. Sans elle, je suis perdu. Alle, juste de la poussiere et de l'os comme tous les autres

etres vivants. Mais avec elle, je suis plus que cela? Suis-je encore un homme?

Je pars, et j'arrive. Je cherche et je trouve. Quel est le projet Blackhollow?


and here is my translation (using online translator mostly):
Quote:
This war has destroyed everything. My home, my family, and my soul. It is only this shell which remains. To fill a new life will not be easy , but

this boat can be my savior. All objects of value have been destroyed or taken, and my only chance to get on that boat was a hide, deep below, or

I can hide of the workers of the boiler room. The rats are the only ones who find me.
I am about to go to the west giving me a residence much more spacious than while I am here. Very few supplies underway in America. I have been on board at least two days, but it is difficult to be certain. This is not unpleasant, but, yesterday evening, I felt a strong desire for fresh air, then I sneaked through a service door until the third platform, and went well toward the stern.
The air was warm, but it was feeling fresh on my tired lungs, sick with the smoke from the underside of the vessel. A man and his wife stood at

attention, overlooking the darkness. Their daughter taking a doll which was to be sewn. How wonderful.

Each time, I maneuver through the door. I like to see the man and his wife. I like to see the little girl play with her doll. Without them, I am

nothing. Without my memory of them, it becomes more similar to the memory of a photograph. I can see them. I can see his face, but it is no longer

as it is in front of me. They are only shadows. I need to see the man and his wife and young daughter to remember, if i pass by the door. I have

just reached the other end. I have done this several times. Time enough to know precisely the movement for not to get caught.
But something has changed. As I was walking in the hallway toward the staircase at the end of the platform, a woman passed me. A woman of blond hair with green eyes. I was watching as Iwas watching a phantom of myself. As I said, I have gone through this corridor enough times to know that faces do not change. But it was her. She was different. I am on that I have never seen before. She looked at me like i am past. And she looked at me in a way that has done nothing to help me has further consolidate the idea that this woman was an impossibility. She looked at me as if she had seen a ghost. And as we have been looking at the other, each consultant as we had seen a ghost, I am still not on if the way in which she turned toward me, it was simply a response to the way I was looking at, or if it was truly as each of see me. It is impossible.
I will not write for fear of making this true.
I will not write.
I will not write, I will not write,
I will not write, I will not write
I will not...

I did not know what to expect when I am returning to this place. It is all of the same. The names and faces have not changed. I can not even be sure of what i was expecting at all. Once that I really realized what had happened, I think that I thought that I may be in the process of changing

something. But, I now understand, I am simply a small piece of puzzle, and my form and the color has not changed.

The time is empty of meaning, but it is all for me. Without it, I am lost. Gone, just the dust and the ashes as all other living beings. But with it, I am more than that? Am I still human?

I left, and I arrived. I sought and I found. What is the project Blackhollow?

 		Alright, I finally got around to catching up. Nice work danish! And thank you arthurdent for the transcription!

I guess there's no audio files to accompany this drop, eh?

 		Fragment 15!

Fragment 15: ?

Fragment 15 is coming. The question is: Where? It does not appear to be heading to New York or Southampton, but somewhere else. I do not know what this means yet.

Hmm - I wonder where it could be.

Looks to be about the location the RMS Titanic sank in April 1912.
