Opening Notes

The opening

Communications are insecure; we have detected an unknown network of agents operating counter to our interests. This website should throw them off track from getting the seventh and final keyword.

New rendezvous for the keyword will take place in London, UK, 22nd October. I will be in position to monitor events. More information will come soon, but be prepared. If they try to come, we have contingencies in place and I am confident they will not be able to retrieve the keyword, no matter what they do.

The taunting Emphasis mine.

Increased chatter and traffic analysis has shown that a number of agents may arriving to monitor or disrupt the handover. As a security precaution, you will be required to verify your identity at a number of waypoints before we meet; you will also receive information regarding the final meeting point and time at these waypoints. It is highly unlikely that the unknown network will be able to cause any real problems as they are lacking in numbers and capabilities.

You will require real time internet access and online assistance in order to co-ordinate with us and receive instructions. If necessary, use a contact you trust and give them the standard cover story.

The threatening Emphasis mine.

It appears that a member of the unidentified Earth network (henceforth designated 'UEN1') [http://www.weneedtofindthem.com/ has identified our meeting place in Clapham. We haven't discovered how they found the information - possibly through one of our auxilaries in London - but this is not a serious cause for concern. They are still not aware of the tasks you will have to carry out prior to the rendezvous, or its final location.

Therefore, Saturday will go ahead as planned, and we have the utmost confidence in you that you will complete the tasks without any trouble or interference. Naturally, you will be constantly monitored during the day, and have access to support information in emergencies.

This particular member of UEN1 has, rather foolishly, published this information on a public website. We have already identified him and are moving to isolate and neutralise him.

On the Scene!!

The party has found folders containing MAPS and a POEM

On IRC, we've broken up into 4 channels.....

Cast Away

<uneasyjd> just spoke to guy (lake team)
<uneasyjd> they found 9 map pieces (simple grid system) - boats and islands on the map
<uneasyjd> need to assemble complete map based on instructions on each of the boats
<badger_burrow2005> my brother and his mate have retrieved a map
<badger_burrow2005> and a clue saying "the boats weigh anchor and move from island to island. Which islands do the boats dock in?"

<uneasyjd> ok - i've got detailed descriptions from guy
<uneasyjd> 9 map pieces - each a 3x3 grid
<uneasyjd> 1 - top row center - 'WEIGH ISLAND'
<uneasyjd> 2 - top row left - 'GREEN ISLAND', middle row center - boat 'GILLIGAN'S FOLLY'
<uneasyjd> 3 - top row center - 'TIME ISLAND'
<uneasyjd> 4 - middle row center - boat 'CLOUDMAKER', middle row right 'BENCH ISLAND'
<uneasyjd> 5 - middle row center - 'RIGHT ISLAND'
<uneasyjd> 6 - top row center - boat 'BLACK PEARL', middle row left 'OLIVE ISLAND', middle row center 'GAGE ISLANDS'
<uneasyjd> 7 - bottom row left - 'POWER ISLAND'
<uneasyjd> 8 - top row left - 'LEVEL ISLAND'
<archer1204> is there more than 1 island per square
<uneasyjd> each number represents a different map piece
<uneasyjd> just hang on
<uneasyjd> 9 - middle row right - 'NEVER ISLAND'
<uneasyjd> also on 9 - bottom row left - 'TOOTH ISLAND'
<uneasyjd> ok - each boat has a list of directions - the travels from it's starting point in the 1st given direction until it hits an island, then turns in the 2nd direction until it hits another island, etc.
<uneasyjd> GILLIGANS FOLLY - s-se-n-n-s-w-w
<uneasyjd> CLOUDMAKER - nw-e-sw-n-n
<uneasyjd> BLACK PEARL - n-e-s-e-nw-w-s
<uneasyjd> there is only one island that all 3 boats will visit, and that's the answer
<uneasyjd> we've just got to assemble the map and sort it all out

journey's end

<Jakeo> sken has found the code book

<buzman> apparently this one was the codebook
<buzman> which has been found
<buzman> but not heard anything from them

They took pity on us...

The goal, at length, was to get 4 keywords, which was then fed to a codebook, and placed in a webpage:

http://secure.recedaresorts.com/trackaccess/index.php

However as the last minutes ticked down, we only needed one keyword. The security protocols had changed.

http://secure.recedaresorts.com/locationtracker.html

This led us (them, really) on a wild and crazy run around london!!

<MasterCheese> get to jedburgh street people!
<MasterCheese> NOW

The Receda Trail

The Receda Approach - The Receda Sign - The Receda Institute for Somnatherapy - The Receda School of Music - Receda's Revenge - Receda Resorts

Monica Grand died giving us the trailhead of keywords. The Third Power lead us all over creation .. only to beat us over the head in the end. The jerks.
