I meant to add in reference to your point about the way Christian speaks -- it's interesting that he actually speaks 'normally' to me since I made the breakthrough and convinced him to confide in me about B Minus Drug. I guess it's a deliberate cover for one reason or another.

ETA: It might be an idea to get back to Keith and set him straight about giraffes and their teeth, moriarty. Apparently they just lack front teeth in their upper jaw. To say they have no teeth at all is incorrect. Come to think of it, they don't have claws either do they? Is that deliberate?

Good point. I totally missed that. I should ask about that and see what happens.

Giraffe do have teeth, don't have claws, and can walk backwards.

But this does fit for an Emu ??

Okay so I'm catching up on this over here and I've become very confused. Are we trying to find the password for Keith's @mail.com account of his trisphere account? I would say by the memo and the messages from Dennis and Helen that we're supposed to access his @mail.com account. However, there are multiple sets of lyrics in his docs folders. The problem is that we can''t know which set pertains to which account. Any have any solid leads on this? We all seem lost.

That's all very odd. I just checked back and Keith's previous giraffe facts seem to check out -- in fact, many seem to have come from this page (I had the tail hair one in a previous private message):

http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/animals/giraffe.html

I wonder what's brought about this change?

We're looking for both. Keith has hinted heavily that the lyrics and images in his Google Drive folder contain clues to his Trisphere password. That's the one we're trying to progress with at the moment.

As for the mail.com password, the feeling is that we need to force our way into this one by following the relevant steps for changing his password. The reason for this is that we were given information that allowed us to answer the first security question (date of birth) and we also have hints as to the second question (the city where his first job was based).

My guess is that there might be a further clue for the mail.com conundrum once we've got into his Trisphere account.

Re: giraffes with claws.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Um, sure. Giraffes are the only reptiles that have claws. Contrary to popular belief, horses and pigs do not have claws."
this is really strange and because of this it must mean something.

Well, I'm no further on with this unfortunately. Keith's hints point towards a password relevant to a specific event or time period but that picture hint that seems to say 'Meet the Beatles date(s)' seems to have really thrown a spanner in the works. I don't see anything particularly significant about 20 January 1964. What are we missing? You have to assume it's something simple as we were presumably supposed to be able to get it without the three additional picture clues Keith has inadvertently thrown our way.

Still not sure on the relevance of the incorrect giraffe facts either. I pushed Keith on this too but haven't received a reply.

Also, are all the new people who have posted to the message board players? Or is there a possibility that we have a new character or two to press for information? There are new posts from Desireé, Mary, Kat and an anonymous one (who said they were here to work on marketing for Passable Drug). I know that Kat is a player as that's my wife (she noticed that I kept checking for updates and became intrigued) but how about the others?

ETA: Thinking this through from the start again, November 22nd is a definite link between the first pair of lyrics documents (Blackbird and Rockhard in a Funky Place). Maybe we also need a connection specifically between the second set (All My Loving and Get a Job).

With that in mind, I've found something potentially interesting (although it could just as easily send us down another dead end!). All My Loving was released in the US on an album called Meet the Beatles. Get a Job was covered by the California Raisins and released on an album called... Meet the Raisins. The dates don't seem to add up, though.

Thinking that it might just be overly simple I tried date, dates, Date, date, raisins... etc... no luck.

Okay, I've had a response from Keith re: the giraffe thing that should point us in the right direction for the password:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"What? Pretty sure I'm right.

Did you know? Giraffes were invented in 1963 by Sarah T. Hughes."

Sarah T Hughes was a federal judge who administered the oath of office at the inauguration of LBJ on November 22, 1963 after the assassination of JFK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_T._Hughes

So we're definitely on the right track with November 22 and the JFK connection.

I think I've got the link to Meet the Beetles.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
LBJ was sworn in as President on November 22 (providing the link to Blackbird and Rockhard in a Funky Place) and his last day as President was January 20 (All My Loving / Meet the Beatles). So the password surely has to be LBJ related. I've not found it yet and am about to go out for the evening unfortunately. Hope one of you have better luck than me!

Good find Billy. Also JFK was president from January 20, 1961, to November 22, 1963

Finally. That was so helpful, Billy! The password to Keith's Trisphere account is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
lyndonbjohnson


Now, what do we do once we're in?

Edit: Skimmed through most his messages. Billy, I accidentally opened yours, even though there was an unread message there - could you please send a new one so he doesn't get suspicious? Shocked

I also found the town where his stool softener employer was, as mentioned in a message to Samantha:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'd like you to know I'll be out of the office on Monday, so if you could add that to the calendar that would be great. This weekend I have to head to Milwaukee; the owner of that stool softener company died and left me some things in his will. Kay?


Going to look at his email now!

Edit: His email password is now keithspassword

Edit 2: Here are the emails that looked interesting, all from Hellen. I just emailed her.

Please, stop working on VGD. Your lies are looking less believable by the second.
100% chloroform? Please.
You're getting closer, and you're too dumb to see how dangerous this is.
Stop.

Dennis is gone.
What did you do with him?
I promise, I'll never contact you again if you just let Dennis go.
Please, Keith. Just don't hurt him.
Please.

Please, Keith

Keith, I'll do anything.
Please, please let Dennis go.

You betrayed me, Hellen. We both would have been rich, and you had to go and be a tattletale. You're not invited to my birthday party.
I couldn't just let B- drug go away. I had to recreate it. So I found your company password and got the formula. As soon as I finish work on the antidote (needs a little touching up from our formula) my plan can begin.
I think I'll keep Dennis for a while.

You've figured it out, haven't you.
When the orphan passed out, there's no way that was chloroform. That large a dose of chloroform would no doubt be lethal. We couldn't get pass the unconsciousness side effect of B-.
Now nobody at your office has ever heard of Dennis. How did you get past the two-man rule system?
I promise I'll keep quiet about all of this if you let Dennis free.
I know you're reading these messages. Please, talk to me.

Excellent stuff, well done Amalie! Looks like things are taking quite a sinister turn as suspected. Did you hear back from Hellen? I'll try emailing her too.

If you haven't seen it yet, there's a new video from Christian on the message board. It's very short but he seems to be in distress. The main thing information wise seems to be a piece of paper on the floor right at the end of the video but I'm unable to see it clearly at the moment. Has anyone else had better luck?
