Oh, and I made another thread for it, but I fear that is a long anagram. Let's hope it's easy!

But the above summary is pretty hardcore with the story details. Awesome work, everyone!

[deagol]

Deagol, did we have The Culper Ring on our list of agencies that used #s for code names?

Nope. And they had that agent 355... reminds me of Tach's 335

[covedweller]

What do we know about The Culper Ring that might apply here? It's the first semi-likely answer we've had for any US based agency/organization...

Here's another good link: (I don't know if it has already been linked, if so, feel free to erase the post)

The Art of Peace.

Holy Crap. I live in Port Jefferson, which is MINUTES away from Setauket! If the game comes here. I'm ready.

The video on the SD card was actually They Disappeared... from Gemma. One of the tags in the video (which she also talks about in the video) is sascha. We tried this and it was the password to the rar.

In the rar was a data file named "4e494c49" which translates in hex to "NILI" the contents of the file was a string of characters: "AN LQUIYHL UOE ZAV KA A DIXG YIH IL QBT"

Since there were so few vowels in that, we thought it couldn't be an anagram, so we tried a vigenere cipher using the key sascha again and it decoded into "in tonight she had it a life rip it out"

Could NILI be translated by the cipher as well? Just a thought.

It's another spy network http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nili.
A Jewish one no less. (Previous clues from Tachyon, Canaan, Rashi, Rachev. Previous clues from Op include the Holocaust museum dedication and a quote from Elie Wiesel)

Remove "heart" from "in tonight she had it a life rip it out" (based on the queen of hearts crossed out). This anagrams to: "Op A is inflight to hide unit it." Which sounds funny until I realized that I should "rip it out." Taking "it" out, you get:

Op A is inflight to hide unit.

I assume this means inflight to Setauket .

Holy Crap!!

DUDE.

Amazing idea... take out HEART.

Quite ingenious, Mr./Ms. 'suspiciously absent' Traveler.

[Ziola]

And funnily enough, when I PM'd our new little friend, they didn't respond...

Thanks for the Brick, Op

[trainer101]

If, as Traveler J suggests, Op is traveling - Then Op is the "Traveler".

[Killthesmiley]

that is...

genuis!

frig man! That was seriously a moment of brilliance in this game!!!

AND THEY SAID THIS WOULD BE EASY FOR NEWBIES! Wasn't even easy for vetrans!

[taiya]

I'm a little confused, where was the Queen of Heart crossed out?

Oh, okay, I got it. I just saw the jpg of the Queen of Hearts from the book. I had only watched the video of the opening of the drop and hadn't seen it there.
