HSA - [discussion] The Departure? :(

From Indigo's room:

I really hope it doesn't end like this...no closure and nothing but messy randomness..

""""Over the next few days, these questions need to be answered.



Everything you need to know is on the train and has been all along.



The pieces should be put together. They all snap together like a jigsaw.







Ms. Kelly is waiting for this to happen.

She hopes that she has taught her students well.

With their help, the beginning and the end meet:

Time reverts, a school will open, PR will go one. """


OK Gang, Sounds like we need to figure this out!

The Lyrics to the war chant from Indigo's last post:
Hey, hey, we are the Monkees
You know we love to please
A manufactured image
With no philosophies

We hope you like our story
Although there isn't one
That is to say, there's many
That way there is more fun

You've told us you like action
And games of many kinds
You like to dance, we like to sing
So let's all lose our minds

We know it doesn't matter
'Cause what you came to see
Is what we'd love to give you
And give it 1-2-3

But is may come 3-2-1-2
Or jump from 9 to 5
And when you see an end in sight
The beginning may arrive

For those who look for meaning
In form as they do fact
We might tell you one thing
But we'd only take it back

Not back like in a box back
Not back like in a race
Not back so we can keep it
But back in time and space

You say we're manufactured
To that, we all agree
So make your choice and we'll rejoice
In never being free

Hey, hey, we are the Monkees
We've said it all before
The money's in, we're made of tin
We're here to give you more
The money's in, we're made of tin
We're here to give you--

"And when you see an end in sight
The beginning may arrive "- that certainly applies to HSA! 8)

Another clue from the train that I haven't seen mentioned is the tulip plant in the drawing room. when you click it it brings you to a poisonous plant directory.
Tulips are only skin irritants and no one has complained of a rash.
But is she trying to say someone has been poisoned?
I thought Phillip was drugged to make him sleep.
I can't think of anyone else

It's not obviously math to me. I see 50l (c)(3) though it could be 501 (c)(3). It's not really an equation though.

You're right ...I see numbers and parenthesis and automatically my brain says "MATH!" and shuts down.


"501(c) is a subsection of the United States Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. § 501(c)), which lists 28 types of non-profit organizations exempt from certain federal taxes. Sections 503-505 list the requirements for attaining such exemptions. Many states reference Section 501(c) for definitions of organizations exempt from state taxation as well.

[edit] 501(c)(3)
Section 501(c)(3) is just one of the tax law provisions granting exemption from the federal income tax to non-profit organizations. This exemption does not cover other federal taxes such as employment taxes."

I thought it looked more like "50/(c)(3)"
With a slashy dividy sign...it's a little thin to be a one. Taiya, since you seem to be the resident math enthusiast, does that problem mean anything?

No, not really. It would be weird to just put one number or one variable in parenthesis - i.e. (c) or (3) and it's very rare to use c as a variable if the equation has only one.

I currently like the tax law idea. That seems to make more sense.

It would make sense , if the school is having financial problems that whoever is in charge has filed for the school to be exempt from taxes

(although I have not read all of the fine print, I don't know if a school can be exempt)

Yes. It's definitely 501. She's applying for non-profit status for HSAO.

I think our host/architecht was a computer. Hence how we always see that pic of "Our Host" as a desktop computer holding a drink.
