People are in different time zones, have different priorities, some cannot access IRC due to work/internet restrictions...it is just nice sometimes to follow the thought pattern on the forums. Thats all I am saying...no bad feelings. We are all in this together.Danielle wrote:Scalare wrote:Err.. we've been asking "Has this been updated on the forums?" all the time in the chat, and Ivé personally seen to it that a clue or something didn't arrive at the forum too late. Are you imagining things, or are you confused that not everything is there in a cookie-cutter format which you can read from beginning to the end?
its not hard to join, and we won't shun you either.
we arn't all that.
we promise.

We don't know anything about the meaning of this at this time.
The SD Card:
The Sd card contained a 17MB winrar file entitled
54 41 4B 45 20 57 41 52 4E 49 4E 47
which was in hex and decoded to
TAKE WARNING
which is the title of a song by a band called Operation Ivy.
The file was password protected. The password ended up being GPS, which you may remember from other puzzles. Inside the winrar file was a textfile entitled Grigori which contained the anagram
ACT TWO WHET HARSH ESCHEW
which anagrams to
WHO WATCHES THE WATCHERS
which is a famous Latin quote from Juvenal's Satires (original quote: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?).
The winrar file also contained five pictures (displayed elsewhere), all of which appear to be Daniel spying on the fake ceremony. Two of the pictures match the two pictures Daniel looks at on Lucy's computer in "Following the Helper," although the pics Daniel looks at may be cropped versions of the ones in the winrar file. The other three pictures are also of Daniel, but they appear nowhere in the "Following the Helper" video.
The file name Grigori appears to be a reference to the mythical Grigori, who are angels that disobeyed God's commands in Genesis by marrying mortal women. Their offspring were the Nephilim. More details are elsewhere.
This is all we know about the SD file at this time.
The Book:
The book was entitled "Nancy Drew's Guide to Life." Within it was a pink post-it note reading:
Certain passages in the book were marked with various kinds of notation. Luv has kindly transcribed all of that here:My father gave me all of these when I was a little girl, but they got left behind when we moved. The knowledge has always served me well, so I thought this might teach you a thing or two.
XOXO,

I hope this clears things up.

is that a different name for Republic?
No problem, jessiann. I just wanted to keep people updated on what the chat was thinking on that.jessiann wrote:Tiltingwindward, I apologize for being so obvious. I am just wondering are some of the clues pointing to something else quite obvious, that Tachyon is asking which side we are on, and will we be on hers?
I have tried this, and didn't notice anything unusual.quickapples wrote:umm since the book says stuff about Morse code why dont you turn the book side ways and see if theres anything. and like a flip book?
