Maddison was on the chat asking if we thought she should send a pigeon-message back to Mr. Zipp to try to get more information.

Any ideas you have for the utilization of said avian would be greatly appreciated.

I say we figure out what the new puzzle is first, than use the pidgeon to reply to what ever it is. This way we will have all the info we have been given and are able to ask an intelligent question.

Agreed. Perhaps there is information in the puzzle that may ask for a reply of some sort. The worst thing to do right now is to jump the gun.

If you keep a carrier pigeon too long it cannot find its way home!!!!

"Shake 'n Bake"? KFC?
Just kidding - give us a little more time before we turn the bird loose. We can get this puzzle solved. Then we may have an important question or two for Mr. Zipp.

How about sending the pigeon with a note that says:

"Copy this note 10 times and send 10 pigeons to 10 friends within 10 days and you will have good luck for 10 years...."

or

Just carry the pigeon with you at ALL TIMES, prepped for quick release. Then, if you get into trouble, you can send the pigeon for HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP.

or

You can buy an ACME mini-bug (or whatever) and send the pigeon home, while tracking its location ... and find out where the Mr. Zipp is located. To be safe (in case Mr. Zipp is evil), the pigeon should self-destruct by remote control as soon as you know it has arrived home.

Ok here's what I would send back in the pigeon note:

Final check: Sketchy timbre needs clarity: not SM57/58. A4 tuned 15 Hz flat: feedback expected.

I don't think it needs to be encrypted as it doesn't reveal anything, just asks for some last minute details before showtime.

deagol, you know me...I ask lots of questions, cuz I always want to know, cuz I so seldom quite get things...but I always want to know so...

Huh?

What'd you just say?

I think what he's saying is basically, "Yeah, mic's working, but it could use a little clarification." Basically, "Hey, we're getting your messages, but we need a little more information."

Well maybe we should test if the questions are understandable by Mr. Zipp? It's a little bit more specific than that Esteed.
