[DROP] 12-3 Sea Bowl Drop

ladron121 · Post by **ladron121** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 5:29 am

Here is all the info. As for the locker situation, this is what happened: someone called the bowling alley without my knowledge, posing as my "girlfriend" and telling the manager that I would be coming by to locker 112 to pick up her stuff. We never had confirmation of the locker number or combo. So instead of being able to check the lockers without hindrance and try a multiple combos/lockers, I had the manager at my side the entire time. I had to try to play into a story that I had no knowledge of, eventually telling him my "girlfriend" screwed me over and got me tied up in some crazy on-line scavenger hunt. I tried several lockers, every possible locker/combo that the chat was suggesting. Nothing came of it. Finally, OpAphid e-mailed Luv2LuvEm and told her that the locker situation was a dead end. This is when I went home.

I do not blame the person for trying to assist, but a heads-up would have been nice

Video of Package Recovery:

I took video with my camera, but now that I am uploading everything from
my camera, the video is missing. I have taken pics of the area, which are
posted below. I apologize, I have no idea what happened with the video.

The shark puppet was turned inside out, searched stem to stern. Nothing
hidden inside, no marks or writing. Is made by pappa geppetto, a
subsidiary of Manhattan Toys.

Item 2 - Post Card:

The card is from a different manufacturer than the others. This one was
made by Paperchase, says under that "PRINTED IN THE UK".

Item 3 - Origami Crane (Pics are of unfolded, to view number 30 inside):

I apologize, the only image I had of the crane in its folded form was in
the video, which seems to have disappeared from my camera. It was an
ordinary origami paper crane.

Item 4 - Irish Blessings (Mini Book):

Text of the Post-it (posted on page 120, between pages 120 & 121) -

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

Text of Page 120:

It's easy to be pleasant
When life flows by like a
song.
But the man worthwhile is
the one who can smile
When everything goes dead
wrong.

Text of page 121:

For the test of the heart is
trouble,
And it always comes with
years.
An the smile that is worth
the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines
through the tears.

Text of Page 112:

May St. Patrick guard you
wherever
You go and guide you in
Whatever you do -
may his loving
Protection be a blessing to you
always.

Page 30 is a picture of a wooded area, no buildings. No marks on this page.

I have inspected each page, no dog earred pages or worn areas of the binding
that would show that we are to pay attention to any other pages.

Item 5 - SD Card:

http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p261 ... dropsd.jpg

2 Files on the card, one is named 373a3135 and is 46599 kb, the other is
only named X and is 3kb

373a3135 hex -> text = 7:15

You are to add .rar to both files, both are password protected. Here are the links:

Yes, they are Kill. The last one was Sascha, but it only worked in all caps SASCHA.

Dammit!! Can someone walk me through how I get to the files in order to try some passwords? I've said it before and I'll say it again...I'm an idiot and for whatever reason I don't understand it

ForeverMourn · Post by **ForeverMourn** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 9:44 am

When you D/L the files, add .rar to the end of the filename. Then unzip the rar with (Try 7-Zip). It'll ask for a password then.

New info on Op's YT profile:

We look forward to finding out the results, once we decode what Tachyon left behind
for her friends and "family" to recover.

With so many children running about, it can be challenging to provide each of them with the adequate attention they require.

Tachyon will not escape the reward of her action.

Wherever you go. Whatever you do. We will be right here, waiting for you.

We would've licensed the song, but we had a rather nasty falling out with Richard Marx a few years back. We can't get into the specific details, per the terms of our settlement, but please take note:

Merely *saying* you would "sell your soul" does not constitute a legally binding agreement. Of course, this was after we kept up *our* part of the deal.

The lesson to be learned is this, kids: always look to get it in writing!
