The place on Daniel's ID is a fictional city in Illinois. It was a John Hughes reference.
Yeah but it was brought up on the videos forum that haikU spelled backwards is Ukiah and that ties in the ID. So maybe there is something they missed at that drop area.
Pardon me if someone has said this already. I was reading the thread and couldn't wait until I read it all.

I just watched the video of that drop about a week ago. Besides Daniel's ID, some small children's toys were found in an old tin.

I think we need to go back to the roots as the conflict. As someone mentioned in the IRC chat this evening, maybe this is the Creation story we're getting, OpA/LG15-wise.
I like that...and I'm sure we'll get there at some point. But right now, it seems the earliest truly concrete story starts in London...that's why I mentioned it.

I know that Tachy has alluded a history since she was a child, but we've not gotten anything truly concrete (that I can recall).

OH NO!!!! Don't go there! :lol: Trust me!!!


That box of toys was not related to the drop. It was an accidentally pilfered geocache --- a totally different game. Yes, we know that FOR SURE.

OK, I don't crack codes, so forgive me. :oops:

But this go back to the beginning, and Tach's childhood. It could be clues as to what the ceremony is, or something related to the ceremony.

Yeah let's not bring up that tin lol.

HOWEVER, there was a drop (I believe a Tachyon drop) that included a stuffed shark puppet made by the same company as P.Monkey.

Shark Puppet = Monkey Puppet
Puppets = Childhood
Bree's Childhood ...is similar to Tachyon's?

Yeah cool.

I "Drew"

Post by OwenIsCool »

I'm surprised no one has brought this up as it struck me almost right away as I saw it. I have no idea what it means though. :?:
Tachyon wrote the note so that the shape of the letters made a heart. The message looks more like
xxxxxxxxxxx
______Where it all started
____the answer is before you
______a subtle clue I Drew
___________yours,
_____________T
___________________yyy
(sorry about the lines, couldn't figure out how else to force the spaces there).
I think "I 'Drew' you" is not just for Nancy Drew emphasis, but also to point out that she'd "subtly drawn" this heart clue.
Perhaps, heart = love, start = when Daniel fell for Bree?

I apologize ahead of time if I said anything inane or screwed up this message somehow... first time poster :smt006

Give me a moment to hide behind a shield before I mention this... but since #7 The Clue in the Diary mentions the name Crowley, I thought I should share...

In #19 The Quest of the Missing Map, Nancy searches for a long-lost fraternal twin brother...

In #52 The Secret of the Forgotten City, Nancy helps decipher petroglyphs, plans a secret code with her friends, and looks for treasure in the desert.

hrm 11 x's and 3 y's. in the wiki of "the secret of the old clock," the first book in the nancy drew series, there's a picture of the book on the right. Nancy's holding a clock and the small hand of the clock is pointed at the 3 and the large hand of the clock is pointed at the 11. i dont know if that helps. i thought it was kinda interesting.

Oh sweet, sweet validation. Anyways, i think that the note on the package is definitely pointing to the first book in the Nancy Drew mystery series. Tachy capitalized Drew obviously referring to Nancy Drew but it might have also meant the drawing or illustration on the cover of the first book. Within that cover illustration there is a clock which reads 2:55. The large hand points to the 11 and the small hand points to the 3, the number or x's and y's, respectively. I'd take it one step further and look at page 255 or something but i don't have the book. I don't even know if it goes up to 255 pages.
