mission 7 - venus in the shadows

I know I said I would post a summary yesterday, but things really got away from me.................. :(

So a little later than promised, here it is.

For those of you who like to just punch in the final answer there is still time!

I have to say I did the whole thing backwards again. Chaos in the house meant I couldn’t really hear what Ianto said! – I heard him mention Dark talk - but he does that every week! - I also picked up on something about a gadget

Oh yeah a gadget, if you have read anything I have written before, you will know I am a gadget fiend.

Following Iantos’ advice

Listen to dark talk – there are 2 pieces of info here –

The whistle blower has recently lost his wife (relates back to Conrad’s note) and he is propositioned during the call, so he is somewhere a little seedy perhaps? (I think its safe to assume he isn’t calling from home!)

As soon as he mentions Blue Sky the signal drops only to leave static. Abigail is suitably surprised she obviously hasn’t signed up to be a Torchwood recruit.

Time for the gadget: this week it’s an audio tracker!!

It’s a bit like playing a memory game - click on the start button and a 3D map appears, it zooms in to 3 blocks which change to red and labels appear, as each place is identified, listen to the sound clips and work out where the signal might be coming from click on your selection .

If you have got it right your map shifts to the next set of buildings – If you’ve got it wrong you will be given a signal lost message and you have to start again.

If you are still having trouble the buildings are:-

Bus station

Rock Club

Stadium

Fish & Chip Shop

Local Pub

Cathedral

When you finally get to the Cathedral, you are rewarded with a CCTV type picture and yet another dead body.

The clue is behind the body on the wall (written in blood- a suitably melodramatic idea!)

The whistleblower has written Venus

Type this into the mission response window and TA DA – that’s it till next week :)

Any theories I’m missing send me a comment.

mission 3 - a password of chemical pursuasion

After enjoying the last episode of the Torchwood game, I was looking forward to the challenge and I have to say I am a little disappointed. It all seemed straight forward. (Perhaps I missed something?)

Check out the note Fischer’s son found - this is in the mission files under note (no surprise there then)

Reading down you will see 'FeS2 is the password. Common Name and no spaces!' (N.B. it's also all in lower case!!)

Best thing to do is Google FeS2 – you can cut and paste direct from the note. If like me chemistry was a long time ago, read carefully, FeS2 is Pyrite the common name for this is fools gold – (hence the need for no spaces)

If you have been following the blogs between myself and Liber Perplexus, you may well have picked up on Sam Strakers’ really observant comment about the Researcher's Login on the New Eden website if not listen to Toshiko she will tell you about back doors etc on websites that lead to info that isn't for the general public.

Take the link to the New Eden website you can find this in the files and type foolsgold into the researcher login this opens a video.

Play the video it ends on a file number copy and paste this in to the mission response window.

TA DA: - all done that’s it till next week

– oh I almost forgot, you were supposed to listen to Dark Talk - Abigail speaks to a caller who has found a video of Alien DNA on You Tube, supposedly stolen from a research facility. You know where.

I can’t think of anything else to add at this stage if something occurs I’ll add it.

I thought of something check out the note

'Astonishing… reliable? (Hasn’t just gone doolally with grief?)'

I think this is the bit from the note that refers to the whistleblower. I'm just not sure who's doing the grieving. It can't be Conrad over Natalie as he disappeared before she was found dead. Any Ideas?

new eden - new demons :)

This weeks mission seems straight forward, but I am having trouble with the video, can't get it to play. Will try again tomorrow, so watch this space.
