Yes. Lad is on his way. He lives a while away, but I believe his ETA should stand somewhere around an hour at this time...

Lad left at 9:15pm PST, and had between 90-120 minutes to drive. So...about an hour.

Thanks tilt, it's about a quarter to 2am here, and I think the math part of my brain goes to bed at about 12

It's almost 2am - What the hell am I doing? I've got a business to run!
The Breeniverse will be my downfall.

You can't resist the pull, don't fight the labor of love that it takes to keep up

Does anyone think that the Grease song might be on a bowling alley jukebox?

part of a combo?

UPDATE 10:55pm PST:

Lad is at the drop.

By the bush and rock outside the bowling alley he found an envelope. The envelope contains the following:

1. shark hand puppet
2. SD card
3. origami paper swan
4. postcard with road signs on the front and hex on the back
5. book entitled "Irish Blessings"

Inside the swan was the number 30.

Inside the book at page 120-121 (stuck on page 120) there was a post-it note reading:

I know I messed a lot of things up, but cheer up because if my hunch is right, it all might make sense really soon xoxo T

As soon as I read "If you're lookin' for a fight, then the time is right." I screamed with joy - I've known every word to every song from Grease 2 since I was about 7. Michelle Pfeiffer has been a goddess to me ever since that movie.

Just in case it's important, the movie is here on YT http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... rch=Search

Anything inside the shark puppet, P-Monkey style?

For anyone who missed it, Op confirmed that it was a misunderstanding and that she hadn't sent out a team as well.

Message: We weren't sure if someone else had gone with him or not. Some of the messages we received made it sound as if there might be. Sorry for any confusion on your end, dear.

He shall get recognition by name (once again) upon his successful retrieval and return.

We believe Tachyon timed this retrieval to catch us off guard, and we are frantically analyzing her video to figure out this supposedly simple combination.

Be well--for the sake of us all.

edit// my original message was:

Hello OpAphid,
I just wanted to let you know that we've sent someone to retrieve what Tachyon left behind; did you send someone as well?

UPDATE:

Lad is inside the bowling alley, looking for the locker. He's already tried 112 as a combo, and the numbers are all worn off the lockers. Any other brilliant ideas, Team Support Lad?

I doubt this is right, but he could try left 2, left 0, right 2

That's from the shot near the end of the vid--they knocked down 2 pins on the left, then none (ball goes to the left,) then 2 pins to the right.

It's a long shot but worth a try.

Or, it could be the numbers of the pins, not how many are knocked down, like deagol suggested.

What about 10033 for the locker combination:
10, 3, 3

Also: locker combo could be inside the swan.

UPDATE:
Lad opened the swan, number 30 is on it.
