more spec In chat last night we discussed the idea that these codes need to be solved so we can warn the victim or confront Alecia with them or, who knows, send them to TObI for further analysis.
I think each code refers to a target. Another possibility is that it is a list of instructions for an agent which may refer to more than one target. (from Yli.) The first code plus possible solutions was:
Quote:
L + C Travelled West = Go to Oregon
What does a rose do now? = Change name /use alias
Sounds of thunder= Boom! Big explosion!
Exit Stage Right =get the hell out !
Without Jenga = without getting caught
House of Cards = collapse-- fall around you-- Ideltech building?
Homing Pigeon = report back
3 Hole Punch = take out Marcus, Jude and Marty
Info given by Marcus to Shelina was:
Quote:
The code is metaphors so that
three hole punch = knock out the three founders of Ideltech. The Agent is code named Sequioa.
Note: stick has a different spec in that three hole punch means an way of with three bullets. If we ever have an ARG about organized crime, we need Stick for sure!
As for the next three:
Alternative A : one agent, one target
Antiaris - Agent Name. Relates to poison? (from Yli)
Can't Say "No " = make an offer or threaten [or a person without a tongue (from Stick) or Sandy as this could telling her not to say no to advances from Marcus or Jude or MArty ( from Yli)
Make ane = explosion [could this mean the car ?]
House of Cards = collapse orcreate fragile structure at Ideltech
Renaldo Benson = sing or get the person to talk
For Hal = TobI related? maybe get information about TobI?
Splitting Headache = breaking up Ideltech? [ or bludgeon (Stick's idea)]
Balau - Agent Name. Relates to wood?
Rolly Polly Woody = car rolling over. Is this an old or a threat of a new one?(Stick again)
Fish Food = Sleep with the fishies [from Kona and Dia et al]
Eye Five Break = Interstate 5 bridge? location of ?(Stick)
John Bartlett = quote, famous last words?
J. Osman = ????
Jump the Hump = push off bridge? or maybe the s that occur in Amboy like the one that killed Jude's parents?
Larch - Agent Name. Relates to program code?
Wanna Be = pretend? or does this refer to a person who pretends? and don't forget "Sedated" as a possible choice
Pine Box = coffin? other ideas?
the car which was set off by a remote? (Stick) from a certain signal? could this be from a movie ( I never get those references?)
Vaslie Alecsandri Patriot revolutionary
Google seek or get alone
Neck Tie strangle or noose
Alternative B: one agent, more than one target
Antiaris - Agent Name. Relates to poison? (from Yli)
Can't Say "No " = identifies possible victim?
Make ane = explosion [could this mean the car ?]
House of Cards = collapse or fragile structure at Ideltech
Renaldo Benson = identifies possible victim? Professor?
For Hal = TobI related? maybe get information about TobI?
Splitting Headache = divide Ideltech or make the target ineffective or kill
b]Balau [/b] - Agent Name. Relates to wood?
Rolly Polly Woody = identifies target? Jude or Professor?
Fish Food = Sleep with the fishies [from Kona and Dia et al]
Eye Five Break = Interstate 5 bridge? location of ?(Stick)
John Bartlett = Identifies target? writer? maybe Marty or Jude as coding TobI
J. Osman = ????
Jump the Hump = push off bridge?
Larch - Agent Name. Relates to program code?
Wanna Be = Identifies target? Marcus?
Pine Box = coffin
From Da Buzzer =the car which was set off by a remote? (Stick)
Vaslie Alecsandri =Identifies target? Thad?
Google seek or get alone
Neck Tie strangle or noose or silence

The only J Osman I've been able to find was an umpire in a cricket match in 1892 in UK

Could there be an anagram?
jams no or no jams
jams on
jam nos
jam son or son jam
jo mans
And I still want to submit the idea that Jump the Hump could mean getting past Wednesday (hump day).

just looked at the OE site for kicks, noticed that the "Balau" code has been changed... it now reads:
Quote:
Rolly Polly Woody
Fish Food
Eye Five Break
John Bartlett
LT. DATA*
Jump the Hump
*revised for more clarification
LT. DATA must be in reference to the Star Trek: TNG character, not sure what to do with it though, I'm not in the heat of this one.

If rose is just a reference to 'a rose by any other name would smell as sweet', then why 'now'?
ref. to player name 'rose' is possible, but I'm not involved enough to know how likely.
An third alternative (yes, I know!) would be 'rise', which is common in place names, or could be an instruction [get up, climb the stairs, etc, depending on the context we get from decoding the rest]

Bound to be unrelated but there is a J Osman in the UK kid TV show 'No Sweat'

I think again Data has to refer to TOBI. An android who strives to be as human as possible, and who (at one point in the series) was actually recognized as a sentient being, and therefore no longer the 'property' of Starfleet.
It might also suggest a way to take TOBI from the guys. Based oh what happened to Data in the last movie. She could be suggesting to the agent to make it look like he destroyed himself for some reason. That way she gets TOBI and everyone else thinks he's lost.

Excellent thinking!
Now all three codes have some suggestion of TOBI in them.

For what it's worth - Jon Osman was a director who, in 2002, wrote a rather powerful little documentary called "Justifiable Homicide".
Was good, too.

Ok, this might sound weird, but consider this...Rolly Polly Fish Heads, old song. Most of us have heard it at some time. Might mean the first two terms are together.
And this is a HUGE stretch, but I'm basically throwing out anything that occurs to me. Fish Food might not refer to what you feed a fish (or feeding people 'to the fishes'), but rather food made from fish. Possibly caviar. Don't know what relevance that might have, but thought it might fit somewhere in someone else's theories.

Alecia posted this. I think the second part might pertain to this puzzle.
Quote:
I am disappointed that no one was there to chat last night, but the mission was successful thanks to Mos. I got in and set the explosives.
Now that the other agents have the Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How from Omniscienteyes.com, they should be getting close.

Oe codes Funny, I was just talking about this with Rose.
6 lines each code= who,what,when,where,why,and how (not in that order).
I think I am pretty close on the Balau code.
Rolly Polly Woody= car crash(what)
Fish food= drown (how)
Eye Five Break= I-5 at the bridge over the Columbia Breaks (where)
John Bartlett= writer of famous quotes= We think this might be Marty.(who)
Lt. Data= tobi (why) [also of note Marty is a Star Trek fan]
Jump the Hump= Wed. (or end of the week) (when)
This is close(although not 100% complete) but it should help solve the other codes.

Working Ideas Just to help spark some thinking
House of cards (larch code) is where= Ideltech
Make Methane is the how= To explode
For Hal is the why= TOBI
need help on the rest
Pine Box is the how in Larch code=bury
google is the why = Tobi
Wanna Be could be the how = sedated
From da buzzer i think is the When

Actually, if make methane were the how, the explosives might not be the bulk of the explosion, especially if Alecia already set them. Maybe somebody is supposed to mess with the gas lines just before they are set to go off. That way there can be enough gas to blow the whole place (and everyone in it) at a certain time (after Marcus gets back), without the amount of gas in the place being obvious like it would be after a few days.
And hot news on the Renaldo Benson front, there is a singer named...wait for it...Sandy Martin! (ok too much drama but still) She has to have working knowledge of the new building. And (as we discussed in chat the other night) she certainly has a hard time saying No. That means that splitting headache has to be the when.
Ooh wait. What if she's supposed to be somewhere in the building just before the explosion, and she's supposed to set them off when she starts getting a headache from the gas?
