Operation Rubydragon

Can someone give me some insight on how you figured out the key for the encryption and what exactly happened on twitter with that bot? I'd like to contribute to the mission but feel a bit lost right now

This is a message for all agents regarding Operation RUBYDRAGON.
We will require that agents submit their recon photos before tomorrow at 15:00 PM EST.
We will then analyse the material and see if we can find evidence of occult activity related to the IRIS Operation ARCHANGEL.
They should be photos taken at the location in person.
And be taken within the time window of the operation.
Ensure that agent name and GPS coordinates of the Chinatown are included in the photo recon submission.
Good luck agents, forward any other questions regarding the operation to [email protected] o7

 

Honestly we were all a bit lost... Dylan basically bruteforced/guessed a key and then stumbled his way into the next three of them in a similar manner. I'm sure he can give you the nitty gritty. @dylanamite?

 

Yeah, I just got a bit of clearance on IRC, but still I've got no idea on where that Texas Legislation thing came from ...

 

The profile picture of the Twitter account highlights one of the stars. At the moment it's Texas.

 

How did we even get to the Twitter account?

 

Ah, I see, ty.
Still, I got no idea how "Texas" as a base clue leads to the rest of the key.

overall I have to say that I strongly feel people around here are much smarter than I regarding puzzles ...

 

Google-fu. But for twitter.

 

Just got word from a London agent that they've sent in recon photos of a gate there.

 

I have 2 of my sub-agents taking recon photos of Las Vegas and San Francisco. I will post the photos and GPS coordinates here and to Dispatch when my agents send them to me.

If your wondering why I am having sub-agents take them , they work for me and do not know why I am having them take the recon. And the main reason is I am nowhere near a Chinatown archways / gate.
So I made due and put my Sub-agents in the field and pay them for thier time.

The more recon the better☆

 

You can save your money for SF. Ive got that one covered.

 

There are multiple gates which one/S are you doing.

 

unless we got any active agents nearby "The Hague" NL, i'll go there tomoroow to get some chinatown pics.
im skipping rotterdam, since they only have a chinatown in name. (it doesnt look like a china town anymore)

 

Surveillance photo submitted... Very unlikely it is a duplicate location

 

Hey guys New Orleans Agent TheStonedApe here, have been super busy with the 10 Cloverfield Lane ARG, but it seems to be slowing down after the recent dead drop. Glad I can put my attention back into TBW for now. Got the most recent e-mail about the Chinatown Photos, and am mobilizing anyone I can to go take some pics for me in their area. As stated I live in New Orleans , and the China-Town here was destroyed years ago. I will take a pic of the last remnant of NoLA chinatown for good measure however.

P.S. Is there a problem with the IRC I haven't been able to get in.

Update- Sent the photos and co-ords to HQ.

 

Please contact me if you have issues with IRC @the_Stoned_ape

 

The Dragons Gate at Grant and Bush (seems the right one to do).

-C.

 

I just saw this message, I covered Las Vegas earlier about the time this was posted.

 

@the_Stoned_ape
Well, I didnt expect to find you here...
Just finished lurking the sub

 

San Francisco Today. Wish Id thought to check. The Chinese New Year parade is tonight. The place was mobbed and there was no parking for miles. Could only grab this from the car as we went by.

Submitted to Dispatch.
