This is suspected that a meet or a event is going to take place on Abbey Road, London. The webcam points to the crossing the beatles made famous on one of there album covers. A team of people are prepared and are travelling to Abbey Road for that time period, in hope of some character interaction or a good puzzle.

At around 12:45 a woman sat down not too far from us with a stack of envelopes and spaceXplorer asked her if she was Dinah and gave her the password - and in exchange, Dinah gave each of us an envelope containing the Perplex City Postcard and a print-out of an email conversation (including an encrypted section).
