"Well, I suppose that's over with..." Hazel said as she looks toward the computer screen.

"Um... Those two things on the screen... What are they?" Hazel asked out of curiosity. From the sound of it, she's clearly referencing to the browser and text file.

“Well Madame, one is clearly an internet browser used for all kinds of online chicanery and the other will probably provide us more information.” Maximillion informed Hazel as he immediately began to look up adorable cat pictures using the browser

“Hoho look at this cutie! I mean...we should probably take account of our totals again. This round would have handed out a great deal of money. Especially to our ‘Jason’ so if we are still interested in raising everyone up then it’s high time for some donations I feel.”

The internet browser seems to work fine and Max brings up some cute cats!

Bookmarked on the browser is driveinstars.com.

"... Hm?" Ember narrowed her eyes at the bookmark, not impressed with the cats. "Max, excuse me, I need to see this."

She pushed his hands out of the way (rude) and opened the site.

Hazel tilted her head to one side as she watched Maximillion looked up cats via the browser.

"Hmmm, this computer stuff is strange..." She muttered as she looks at the screen. "Although... Driveinstars dot com? Why would Zero have access to driveinstars dot com? Is there something Zero wanted to show us on there? And this information thingy that Max mentioned... I'm curious about the contents of that thingy."

Wesley was staring off into space, trying and failing to process something. He finally spoke up, ignoring the people focusing on the internet browser, and said, "Did you notice? The apologies to Jason and Iris were responded to. But my apology to my parents was ignored. I wouldn't expect my parents to respond, they're not here after all, but doesn't that mean there's meaning in Jason and Iris responding? Well, Jason was already pointed out, but even though Iris rejected that apology, that was still a response, unlike my parents. What... Just what does that mean?"

Ember gets Max out of the way and begins browsing driveinstars.

It's a movie discussion site with a seemingly dedicated user base. Just under a hundred active users still use the site but it's filled with tens of thousands of discussion threads. Near the top are all of Wesley's movies. Nearly every thread devoted to him is still getting more than ten posts per day.

Without logging in, there is not a whole lot to do except read nerdy arguments about movies.

“This seems like it would take a very long time to look through, unless someone has an account,” Vivienne remarked, “Perhaps we should open this other file first.”

Vivienne grabbed the mouse from Ember (also rude) and opened the text file.

"If this is another one of Zero's attempts at showing our personal lives, maybe he shouldn't have picked a public for- hey!" Ember complained when Vivienne took the mouse from her, but she didn't really try to stop her either.

The text file is pretty short and says the following:

Code:
NAME

---

DIGITAL ROOT OF ALPHABETICAL INDEX OF PRINCIPAL LETTER OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. ETS CEO (7, 7)

2. STRANGE BEHAVIOR EXHIBITED BY DAM ENGINEER (5, 5)

3. QUANTUM COMPUTER HARDWARE MATERIAL (8, 5)

4. PATHWAY OF INFORMATION BETWEEN TWO NEARLY IDENTICAL WEREWOLF ROOMS (13, 5)

"How are you guys doing in there?"

Hazel stared at the text file, bewildered by what the text file actually contains.

"Oh dear me... I'm not sure what to make of this." Hazel said as she rubs her chin with her free hand. "Though, some of these statements are quite curious."

“I believe this is some sort of...puzzle?” Vivienne said, leaning in close to the computer screen. “Yes, that must be it. Allow me to explain.”

“The four numbered entries are simply questions, like the kind one might find in a crossword puzzle,” Vivienne explained, “The numbers are, of course, the number of letters in each word. So the first question, ‘ETS CEO,’ must be a person with seven letters in the first and last name.”

“Once we have all the answers...it seems we convert the first letters to numbers and the. Take the digital root of that? And perhaps that will give us a name? I’m not sure...”

"A [digital root] is the final number you get when you add together all the digits of a larger number, or set of numbers. So the digital root of 1, 2, 7 will be 1."

1 + 2 + 7 -> 10
1 + 0 -> 1

"The digital root of 42,069 is 3."

4 + 2 + 0 + 6 + 9 -> 21
2 + 1 -> 3

"I'm not sure how to solve this though. Vivienne has the right idea, I think. But the clues don't seem to have much to do with the numbers--the digital root of 'ETS' is 8 for example, not 7." Luka elucidated before thinking for a minute. "I guess index could mean we're meant to start counting the letters at 0 instead of 1, but that doesn't really help clue-wise. 'ETS' would be 5 in that case, so it still isn't 7."

"Yes we're fine Anna! You are most welcome to join us if you feel you can. We have uncovered a new puzzle and your particular opinions would be positively prized on this matter!" Maximillion called back through the door before looking back at the screen and tearing his eyes away from the cute cats in the other tab.


After a moment's thought Maximillion's eyes lit up "Ah that last one! It must be the Morphogenetic Field that Luka mentioned yes?" he said looking at the others for confirmation. "There's not too many words with thirteen letters I can think would be relevant otherwise."

"Ah, I get it now." Luka nodded at Max. "So we solve each clue and then add up the first letter of each one to find the digital root? None of us have seven letters in our first name though, even if you include Jason and Iris. But I guess one of us has 14 across their first and last."

"Ah yes, digital roots. They featured in a movie I was in, a while back," Wesley commented, trying to understand the strange file. "I, too, agree with Vivienne's assessment. And Max is likely correct about the answer to the last one, not that I really understand the implications..."

"Maybe we should also make an account on that movie website and take a look as well! I can't imagine Zero would leave this here for us without purpose!" Maximillion said secretly eager to see how Wesley's latest movie was being received.

“ETS is Emerald Technology Solutions—we found an article about them in the parlor.” Luka explained to the plebeians from the poor country. “I imagine Astrid or Max knows the answer to one or both of the first two questions.”

Vivienne called out all the questions to Anna so she could participate.

DootDootDoot wrote:
"Wait. So the morphogenetic field transmitted information between two 'identical werewolf rooms'?" Ember asked. "Is that how Hazel managed to see those words in the walls?"


“Most likely,” Vivienne replied, “Those of us in the Emerald room saw a security feed of Hazel in the Werewolf room, with all of the missing roles scribbled on the wall. Perhaps those two details are related?”

Pierre wrote:

“That seems like a wise choice. Does anyone here happen to already have an account? Perhaps you, Ms. Ohring?” Vivienne said, turning to Ember. “You seemed to react to seeing this site earlier. Otherwise, I suppose we could just create an account.”

Hazel seems surprised by the sudden relevance of the Morphogenetic Field and the two nearly identical werewolf rooms.

"So, when you put it that way... I was able to access the Morphogenetic Field and saw those words on the walls." Hazel mumbled, as she rubs her chin with her free hand.

"I do have an account." Ember nodded. "I'm chief moderator there, after all. Just give me one minute..."

Looking a little proud of her... 'prestigious' 'status' in that nerd site, Ember sat down and tried to log into driveinstars.

Maximillion patted Stella on the shoulder as reassuringly as he could muster "Alas I am tempted to agree, much like the quiz earlier, some of these answers must lie within the minds of people but have heart Stella! I am willing to bet a windfall most wondrous awaited the winners of the last round! It's likely this will soon all be over and then we can play more sophisticated games for fun rather than therapy." he chirped

Ember's logs into the account, "KindledNest," a bizarre piece of wordplay which evokes imagery of Wesley's most well-received movies.

At the top of the forum is notably a thread for "Admin Nest's reviews masterpost", authored by KindledNest. Scrolling through it shows a staggering number of links to review threads written by Ember's account. Newer ones are edited to be on top, and it seems as though users take her opinions seriously. In the discussion portion of each thread, everyone is just agreeing with her, maybe adding one or two points of their own.

As Ember is aimlessly clicking around, the group catches sight of an argument between Ember and someone who can't be much older than 13 years old, who baited Ember into the argument by calling Wesley Naught overrated. Ember notices a little too late and quickly ties to scroll past it, but the conversation is very, very long so she navigates away hurriedly.

The whole time, there is one new message being indicated at the top of the screen.

With the group not taking the cooperation route and only one apology to or from her, Astrid had been standing off to the side. She joined the group as they had crowded around the monitor to try to figure out the text file... but didn’t seem too interested in the movie discussion site.

“Once we get the digital roots from the words in the questions, what do we do with them?” Astrid asked. “Was there a number lock somewhere that we haven’t opened yet?

“Also, I concur with Max. Trying to figure out which apology came from whom is likely not worth the time and effort, but given the large amount of money that was presumably paid out, we should at least re-confirm our totals.” She then pressed the button on her bracelet showing that her total had increased by 100,000 to 583,000.

Hey Ember,

This is CatatonicPrimadonna's alt account, and was just wondering if I could get a link to the back room for this account because I lost access to my old one. I know that the whole house photo incident still has you on edge about outsiders getting access, so if you wanna ask me a question that only I would know, I'm ready.

Thanks.

Maximillion raised an eyebrow at the username and grinned before giving Wesley a playful nudge "Oh my Wesley, it seems your following is into some fascinating fetishes." he tittered "Still I am unfamiliar with the politics of what is going on here Ember. Please enlighten me as to what is happening here." he asked leaning right over Ember to see the screen.

"Wait, if we have the.... internet browser here.... Then do you think we can find the answers to the clues if we look them up?" Hazel suggested.

Ember snorted at the username, barely catching her glasses from falling after she did so. "... That's Prima all right. God, I was expecting something from Zero."

She gave Maximillion a vague hand gesture as an answer. "It's just some inside joke stuff. But Hazel makes a good point. At the very least, the first answer should be public knowledge."

She quickly opened a new window and searched for 'Emerald Technology Solutions CEO' on whatever Google knockoff this game's world uses.
