 		There's a new post and password to find over at Daphne's site. It sounds like there are more posts to come to help us do just that.

 		Hi All! Cuz the PW protected posts just keep coming Shocked and since I got lucky on the latest one "AUTHOR" thought I'd better share:
PW solve AUTHOR
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Seuss (case sensitive). The clue is actually the first letter of the titles of the 6 paintings above it ("What's on the menu?": aabbcc).

ETA: So maybe the AUTHOR clue solve relates to the intel, already known, that the Traveling Circus hackers pose "under assumed names"?

 		So doing a search on the second clue post leads to a poem by W.H.Auden

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

 		Just out of interest I decided to see where Auden and Seuss were educated. Both of them seem to have been educated at the university of Oxford.

 		So far I found the words Lair, Day and Ben. Are we supposed to be looking for names or just words?

I'll add a few words I've spotted in there;
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
history, archaeology, dead, scrolls, sea, muse
a couple might just be a coincidence.

*edited to correct the word history which I originally posted as story

 		Given all the words identified so far, I think it's probably safe to assume that this clue is to do with

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Dead Sea Scrolls


That said, I'm unsure how that ties back to the clue: Finding the dead (8)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Could it be as simple as where the Dead Sea Scrolls are kept? In which case it could potentially be Jerusalem (they're in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem).


EDIT: Ignore the above -- it seems I can't count. How embarrassing.
