Bob Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 I say we follow those footprints! Anyone disagree? I agree. Let's follow these prints. I would like to see how the typewriter was destroyed. Did someone hit it with something or throw it on the ground? Next, I would like to follow the footprints. The typewriter was simply thrown to the ground. Is there anything peculiar about that book? What's the title? It's called "Medical Advances of the Twentieth Century". There's nothing really odd about the book itself, but it's not as heavy as a book of that size should be. Councilman Ackerson and Krista follow the prints out the window. They eventually lead to the main road, where the mud dissipates, and no longer makes prints in the ground.

Also, I would like to have a word with Mayor Bradford and Councilman Ackerson.
Peanuts Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 So the track leads to the main road, interesting. But the window was opened from the inside, so it should have been somebody of us who invaded the office. I'd like to know if somebone's missing.

Opening the book, it's revealed that it's a false book. There's a small revolver, a few pieces of paper, and a few roles of money. So the track leads to the main road, interesting.

I would like to see if there is anything written on the pieces of paper. If so, then I shall read it out. I'd then like to see if the revolver is loaded.
Walter Kovacs Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I'd like to get a rough idea of how much money is there. What would our good doctor be doing with a lot of money hidden away and a revolver?
The Legonater Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 So it would appear the doctor was converted to the commies, and was taken out by a clever viligent or neutral.
CorneliusMurdock Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 So it would appear the doctor was converted to the commies, and was taken out by a clever viligent or neutral. How do you figure he was converted? What would a neutral party be doin' in this mess?

I'd then like to see if the revolver is loaded. Each piece of paper has a letter on it. The letters present are: A,G,P,O,Q,R,T,Y,Z. The revolver is also unloaded. I'd like to get a rough idea of how much money is there. What would our good doctor be doing with a lot of money hidden away and a revolver? There's about four hundred dollars there.
Walter Kovacs Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I have to admit, those letters have me baffled. You can't spell anything from them, and I seriously doubt the Russian alphabet has equivalents to those letters (Q is pretty oddball as a letter). Perhaps they are referring to certain files under those letters, or perhaps books on the bookshelf starting with thsoe letters. It could also be specific entries in an encyclopedia, perhaps? I'm going to start by looking at the books on the bookshelf, as the files, while neat, are not exactly filed correctly yet. Any other ideas? I'm also going to check the papers with letters on them for invisible messages. Our dead commie friend had a slip with an O on it, if I remember correctly.
Sisco Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Sorry for being half-asleep today, I've just been letting the events of the day sink in.

Mayor Bradford pulls out the encyclopedias on Doctor Lloyd's shelves for A,G,P,O,Q,R,T,Y, and Z. Opening each one, there's a strip of paper in the front cover of each encyclopedia. There are words on each strip of paper, and it would appear that they fit together to form one bigger piece of paper. There's no invisible messages on the papers either.

Walter Kovacs Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Go me! So what do the strips of paper say when they are arranged correctly?
Mrlegoninja Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I'd like to check the handwriting and compare it to other notes we have. I'd also like to speak with the farmer.
The Legonater Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 How do you figure he was converted? What would a neutral party be doin' in this mess? The cash with the pistol- bribery, in my opinion.
Admiral Ron Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 The cash with the pistol- bribery, in my opinion. A pistol is not used for bribery. Unless it was blackmail.... I wonder, however, why is the pistol unloaded? Perhaps someone stole it or the ammo to kill the doctor?
CorneliusMurdock Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Perhaps someone stole it or the ammo to kill the doctor? The doctor was killed with a knife, wasn't he? I still find it hard to believe that a loyal vigilante would kill national guardsmen (also knifed). But a neutral party in this whole mess don't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Bob Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Go me! So what do the strips of paper say when they are arranged correctly? Arranging the strips of paper says this: ATTN DR LLOYD: 2/12/1935 My name is Doctor Peter Geller, I'm a surgeon in New York City. I was wondering if you'd like to come and speak to us at a little conference that we're putting together. After all, your father was one of the finest doctors on the east coast, before he moved away to the tiny town of Alabatha, or whatever it's called. I'm certain that your father would like you to come and speak to us. You might not be as good him, but it would be nice to hear any stories that you have about the miracles your father performed. Sincerely, Dr. J.David Geller I'd like to check the handwriting and compare it to other notes we have. I'd also like to speak with the farmer. The pieces of paper with the letters on them are obviously Doctor Lloyd's handwriting, which you've all seen during your visits to him. The doctor was killed with a knife, wasn't he? I still find it hard to believe that a loyal vigilante would kill national guardsmen (also knifed). But a neutral party in this whole mess don't make a whole lot of sense to me. "I think he was killed with a knife." Chief Fields starts. "We didn't go up to his body and check, though."

Sincerely, Dr. J.David Geller Well nice work, Mayor! This is a pretty standard letter, I wonder what the secrecy is all about? Though was the sender named Peter or J. David? I assume he must be the doctor who signed Laura Jefferson's autopsy report. Dead now, just like Dr Lloyd. And I thought Dr Lloyd arrived in Alabatha some 7 years ago, so he couldn't have been here in 1935. It's more likely that his father moved to Alabatha before he did, and the letter was sent to Dr Lloyd somewhere else. I wonder if Dr Lloyd father's presence here was somehow related to Project Wolf. Why would he move to Alabatha if he had a successful career going in NYC or wherever he was before? Isn't it a small world? Lloyd meets Geller, he moves to Alabatha after his father does, Geller comes to Alabatha -- not necessarily in that order. Many doctors seem to be involved in this Project Wolf, if that's what they come here for. I wonder what that means. Does anyone know what that conference was about? It's a shame Nurse Parker is gone, she might have known.
CorneliusMurdock Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Perhaps we should go see if Dr. Geller still has an office around here. Strange that Lloyd would go through all the trouble of hidin' such a note. Do we know who Lloyd's father was?
Peanuts Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 This seems pretty suspect, I mean, a well-hidden letter, which says nothing special but a harmless meeting about nothing special. Does anyone think there's more behind that get-together?
Walter Kovacs Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Not Only that, but the wording seems a bit...odd. I mean, talking of miracles of Dr Lloyd's father, that thinly veiled insult. It doesn't really make sense. There is likely a code embedded into the wording somehow, but I'm not seeing it. Or some hidden message, maybe a cypher perhaps? We should at the very least check for invisible messages, though I don't hold out much hope there.

It's a shame Nurse Parker is gone, she might have known. Host Error: It should read J.David Geller at the top, not Peter Geller. Doctor Geller did not sign Laura Jefferson's autopsy report. His father had controlled the practice here since the early 1900's, way before Project Wolf was founded. Then, in 1930, Dr. Lloyd's father died, and his uncle took over the practice. When Doctor Lloyd returned here, seven years ago, he took over the practice after serving in World War Two as a medic. Doctor Lloyd had intended on moving back here sooner after completing med school, but he was instead drafted. Perhaps we should go see if Dr. Geller still has an office around here. Strange that Lloyd would go through all the trouble of hidin' such a note. Do we know who Lloyd's father was? Doctor Lloyd's father, James Lloyd, had been the doctor in Alabatha since 1902. As said, he passed away in 1930. Doctor Lloyd Jr. was born in New York City, where his mother lived, in 1910. His mother and father had separated a year prior. This seems pretty suspect, I mean, a well-hidden letter, which says nothing special but a harmless meeting about nothing special. Does anyone think there's more behind that get-together? Not Only that, but the wording seems a bit...odd. I mean, talking of miracles of Dr Lloyd's father, that thinly veiled insult. It doesn't really make sense.

Captain Genaro Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 This is really odd. We know that it must be important since the doctor was killed and the communists wanted to have it. Afterall, the dead commie did have the letter "O" on him. I would like to know what the strip of paper under section "O" said. I would like to see what kind of bullets the gun uses and if there are any special marks/features.
The Legonater Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 A pistol is not used for bribery. Unless it was blackmail.... Actually, I meant that they bribed him with the money, to kill with the pistol.
