Good thing you took those screenshots, as that password no longer appears to be valid:

Old password.

Please enter current password.

I got in using that password a few minutes ago, so they must have just now reset it.

So, I guess Andrew Ormsby is Draco. I'd had it in my head that he couldn't be, since we already knew there was a Draco, and it seemed like AO was newly promoted, but the boss seems to be "D", so that must be it. The Dragon is Revelations is Satan, so AO obviously has delusions of grandeur. The Devil tarot card number is 15, the agency's name is 88, and the John Dee prophecy is dated 1588. Since this Friday is the peak of the Draconids, I imagine something will go down.

Lucy has updated her YWOT page to say that she's only received 2 submissions. C'mon y'all! The last time we needed to do something like this, not enough people participated, so Callum got caught, and Lucy disappeared. Just send her anything, a limerick, a word puzzle (many online tools for that), stick figure drawings, whatever! Exclamation


ok she must not have liked mine enough, which is fair (it was an example, not an original creation). i'll go ahead and make one and submit now.

edit: ok, i sent a little musical composition, spelling out my name using musical cryptography

 		Hey there beautiful people, im at the drop point which I've gone with the librarys referance section and it looks like the right place also I noticed something about his post we missed. The start of each letter makes a new word spelling "time:vespertine" which is the start of dusk. I think we need to start looking at things a bit more closer as dusk and sunset are two separate times by half an hour. I'm.doing some stuff on my phone as we speak so will update when I get home.

I think we need to up our game and profile the characters as well. they all have their styles of clues and we need to be more vigilant as I don't think tonight's drop wl ne the same guy that did the first drop with me.

Speak soon, cyrei

 		DROP THE BASE!!!!
Right, basically i went to the library for the drop today. I got there early because we were expecting the drop to be at 6 and i like to scout about a place and position myself well.

I went and found the history book we had the isbn to and sat with it, i noticed a few people looking at me every so often and i was on the IRC all the time as well. it came to light that i needed to be in the reference library and that Eds facebook comment on the wordsearch also spelt time:Vespertine, which is dusk. This made sun set the time the drop was to happen. (its a fancy word for dusk and also corrilates to nocturnal animals and Pic also noticed on a Bjork album of the same name that theres a song called hidden places that might need expanding on, good job on that)

it was 18.22 and i had two librarians named sue dressed in odd grey wigs, in pink cardigans and one in a grey skirt and the other grey trousers stand either side of me and say in unison "return the book now" and then scuttle off to where they came. my first reaction was to got to the drop just in case the 88 were there and paid no attetion to anyone else (as a side note ive uploaded a video as it was for an art installation they were doing and had a full song and dance routine with 4 librarians named sue, even a the guy was named sue)

when i got the usb i then went out and got dinner and now am sifting through it at home.

The usb is called 'ABSTRUSE' and had one hidden file called 'HIDDEN' one seen file called 'NOT HIDDEN' video files called 'lie1' and 'truth1' (and can be found on my youtube channel here along with the libraians video http://tinyurl.com/pmgob8v ) and also files 'naming 1' and 'question 1'

in not hidden is an audio file for the moonlight serenede, both ellie fizgerald, frank sinatra and the remix and a file called 'light in darkness' which links to how to find hidden files in drives (though i always have mine showing hidden files just in case....)

in 'hidden' is a file called power containing pictured of peoples hands in different positions with june dates a,d a file with a link to a mars card matching game (possibly linked to an eariler lucy gets power thing? missed that bit but i think thats when i did get a message on FB from her about saturn. did anyone else get something like that?)

also in 'hidden' is 3 word files 'ANDETTAN' which is a letter from lucy about her and callums relationship (in a sence), another called 'HIDDEN HTTPS' which has a link to a classical album and also a wiki to a soggetto cavato and explains a cypher! and all of our pictures we sent to lucy as well. and also an audio file for the placebo song 'withou you in nothing (live)'

hope you all enjoyed the read!!

Good job, CyRei!

The quotes from 'naming 1' are:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
  • "The Man Upstairs" from "The October Country" by Ray Bradbury (1947)
  • "Coraline" by Neil Gaimann (2002)
  • W.C. Fields
  • "The Farthest Shore" from the Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula K. Le Guin (1972)
  • "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare (1597?)
  • "Soul Music" by Terry Pratchett (1994)
  • "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie (1988)

And of course the seven emphasized letters spell FELDERI.


The text of 'question 1' is an old logic puzzle, which can be found at
http://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/2188/two-doors-with-two-guards-one-lies-one-tells-the-truth (among other places).

These are all things that Lucy asked for earlier in the ARG. (The Mars game was mine.)

ANDETTAN is an Old English word meaning to confess or admit. I will wager that "HIDDEN HTTPS" was something else one of us sent to Lucy, since she seems to have included all of our "hidden" contributions.

I wonder whether "Look for me in the darkness" is a suggestion or just a way of saying "THE END"...

 		The following images from above are mine:
0642
0643
0644
0645
0566
0569

When looking up the properties of these files, Macro noticed that "Light in Darkness" and "Andettan", the author was listed as Lucy Wordsworth.

Inspired by Macro, I looked up the others, and found that Naming 1 (the one with Bradbury, Pratchett, et al.) and Question 1 had the author as supply, and the company as Research Machines plc. Now, that may be the PM's place of employment, or it may be another clue.

 		Okay, so we have a mole, because 88 thought the meeting was Friday, until right before the actual time.

 		Also, I'm assuming Apus is referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apus

And you were definitely right about Andrew = Draco
