The Website
Groupware Manager was found on the 22nd Oct from the live event/online support.
Auditor
The Auditor page held a short piece saying that in 48 hrs it would go live.
On Oct 24th at ~6:00pm BST the site changed.
It now contains the following text:
Select an Account Select an account to the right to view the enabled modules. Enabled Modules The Administrator has enabled auditing of these user account modules. *email Disabled Modules The Administrator has disabled auditing of these user account modules. *email attachments *file attachments *documents *to-do lists *notes *news/website clips *bookmarks *rss/atom feeds *online calculators *events calendar *alarms/reminders
On the right of the page is a drop-down list of usernames (O1 to O8) referring to each of the operatives (excluding V and the "Big Boss").
Each Operative's page requires a different password.
The Passwords
O1 - password O2 - star O3 - power O4 - dream O5 - joy O6 - head O7 - wind O8 - watch

Please calm down. I was not aware of them either; however, it is your role to check for such possibilities. You should have detected them earlier. At least we found out now, rather than later. Are they aware that we know about them?

Very possibly. This presents us with a useful opportunity. I want you to find out as much about them as possible - who they are, what they know, how they think. They're clearly not stupid, so you should organise something believable. If you can perform this task properly, then it will make up for your earlier mistake. If not, then we will have to have a talk very soon.

I see what you mean by double-bluff now. I'll arrange transport to London to arrive in good time. If you want to know the capabilities of this network, then I recommend that we set them a number of tests preceding the rendezvous; tests of their intelligence, imagination and organisational abilities. After all, we want to make sure that only our agent (me) can get through to the rendezvous! Those fools will just be helping us...

Good. I'll be in London in a few days to decide on a location. Clapham in south London seems suitable. I've been there before, and I can set things up appropriately. It's almost a shame they'll never know how well we outmanoeuvred them. They'll just get to the end at the heliport and bang their heads against the wall trying to solve an impossible puzzle.

I apologise for the change in arrangements for your activation, but our normal route of communications was compromised. We are going to turn this to our advantage. I need your assistance to set up a fake holiday website to coincide with the sixth sign in Manchester.
We're going to perform a double-bluff - the website will pass itself off as being the last in the series of keywords. The enemy network will then crack a puzzle-password we've set there in order to access our 'secret mainframe'; they seem to have a very low opinion of our security and so we're confident they'll believe they've really cracked through. We will use this holiday website to feed them false information.

Yes. The idea is that we do know about them, but we don't know that they've broken into our 'secret mainframe'. Using the mainframe, we'll set up a rendezvous for the seventh and final keyword in London on 22nd October. No doubt they'll attempt to disrupt this 'rendezvous' - we're going to encourage them to come along, in fact, with some coded adverts and a fake website of someone who's infiltrated our organisation. When they come, we can watch them.

I read the report you sent over separately - it seems fine. We'll be implementing most of your suggestions. As I mentioned earlier, you'll be pretending that you're a member of the enemy network. On the 22nd, you'll be monitoring their progress in our tasks and reporting back in real time. I'll station people nearby so if there are any upsets, then we'll get you out.
